If you would join it you automatically have access to over 500 gold claims to go to and prospect for the yellowstone that all men dream of .And you get to keep all the gold you find. I will be posting links and pics on here and will try to answer your questions .

Yeah ,I know what you guys are saying ,we go from drought conditions to flash floods . Dawg ,you are right those high waters will churn that gold up and move it on down the creek . Boys hang in there it will get better.

Is there any gold on the east side of South Dakota or is it all out west in the black hills. I hunt several real steep, deep valleys with little feeder creeks that feed into the Vermillion river. Many nights while walking along those creeks I have wondered if there could be any gold in some of these, they have some nice sandy, gravel bottoms.

mr.west theres still way to much water in the creeks around here to do anything. my family has lived here for over 200 years,so you would think if theres gold around here one of them was bound to find something,but ive never heard tell of it.iam still going to try,it dont cost nothing to look thats for sure.
