Valley Prospectors proudly maintains 10 club-owned claims spanning both Southern and Northern California, giving our members access to some of the richest gold-bearing ground the state has to offer. Whether you prefer the desert washes of the south or the historic gold country rivers of the north, there's a claim waiting for you. Visit our Claims Info page to learn more about each location, and be sure to review our Emergency Numbers before heading out so you're prepared in case of an incident at a claim site. Found some gold? Let us know on our Claims Report page, where members can log their finds for the club's records. Members can also access detailed Claim Maps in the password-protected members-only area of our site for directions and claim boundaries.
