And, best of all, "you keep all the gold you find"! You run your own operation, you're the boss.

Please be sure to follow all "Local, State, and Federal laws and regulations" when using Bedrock Prospectors Club mining claims. It is your responsibility to know and comply with these laws and regulations. Bedrock Prospectors Club will not be held liable for the actions of those who are found to be working out of compliance. Those members, who are found violating laws and regulations, shall face the penalties of their violations on their own.

Members find good gold each year on Bedrock Prospectors Club claims, and every year that good spring floods occur, the gold is re-deposited in the same places. Try a few different Bedrock Prospectors Club claims to find out what each has to offer, by the way of gold.

Please remember to carry your current "Membership Card" while you are at our Bedrock Prospectors Club claims. We have new members as well as old members, and it's best to be able to show others proof, rather than leave them wondering. That's why we issue cards, so please bring it to prevent problems. Bedrock Prospectors Club members are very helpful to new members who may not have much experience, and are always willing to give both guidance and direction to greenhorns (newbies). We look forward to seeing you out there, getting your share of the American West dream, and "striking the big one", Good Luck to you!

Bedrock Prospectors Club has claims in Washington State and Oregon. Most claims are located in areas that have been well known gold producers in the past. Still, even today gold is found in these locations, and sometimes, quite nice gold! One of our favorite areas is the Historic Blewett Mining District in Chelan County. There we have six claims, located along proven good placer ground. Claims are along Peshastin, Scotty, and Shaser Creeks. These are easy to get to, and provide plenty of good camping spots. If you need to get food or fuel, both are near enough to get without hassle. Other claims are in the Naches Ranger District, on the Naches River, and along the North Fork Skykomish River, an area famous for the Monte Cristo Mines. These are great places to get out and dip your pan, sluice, or dredge. If you can travel a bit, Bedrock Prospectors Club has a good claim in the Grants Pass area in Oregon. Josephine County in Oregon has a long standing history of excellent gold producing areas, and we have a piece of it. If you can, go there, and get some of that great Southern Oregon gold!
