PROSPECTING AND METAL DETECTING BOF The Prospectors and Metal Detectors BoF will gather in Quartzsite, Arizona, from January 28 to February 2, 2024. The Quartzsite RV Show and Big Tent will run from January 21 to 29. We welcome any Escapees member, whether new to this hobby or a veteran prospector. If you are interested in joining us, please e-mail me at rwsp606@gmail. com or call 541-963 8990, as a heads-up so we can plan our events. The location for this gathering will be to the east of Quartzsite. To get to the parking/camping location, head east on Dome Rock Road East (also called the South Frontage Road) for fi ve miles. This road parallels I-10 until you come to a white barricade where you turn south (right) onto Mitchell Mine Road. Continue 1.6 miles on Mitchell Mine Road and look for P&MD signs on the west side of the road. Approximately N33.65271 -W114.147 92. Our new claim is another two to four miles further up Mitchell Mine Road. Ken Parsons #72707
