New side project is now up an running. UMWGOLD.COM

The state sites are now active. The site features a calendar of events for the entire region and a map were people have found gold in our area. I also ported over a couple of my posts regarding gold in Minnesota and North Dakota.

The forum is also off to a good start thanks to support from the Minnesota Twin Cities prospectors. FORUM.UMWGOLD.COM

Key Phrases:
Michigan Gold Prospectors, Wisconsin Gold Prospectors, Minnesota Gold Prospectors, North Dakota Gold Prospectors, Iowa Gold Prospectors

Upper Midwest Gold Prospectors Forum

I started a new site for the Minnesota gold prospectors. Since a frame work needed to be built we decided to cover the entire Upper Midwest.

The forum will allow users around the area to communicate regarding prospecting in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Iowa, and the UP of Michigan. We hope to grow a nice community for the region’s gold prospectors, hobbyist metal detectors, Treasure hunters and Rockhounds.

Each State also gets its own information site with a central area for scheduling across the upper Midwest.

Please click on the title of this post to join the forum.

The state sub-sites will come online as the content for each site becomes available. If you are affiliated with any of the regions prospector clubs and would like to contribute information please let me know here or on the forum. My user name is Moto or Ben depending on the site.

In this post I quickly look at this history of gold mining in North Dakota and go on to explain possible locations that gold could exist in pre-glacial river deposits.

Made a new toy for the Bakken

I have not been very productive lately, but I noticed a lot of people are interested in the confidential wells list for North Dakota. The state provides a copy of all the wells in an HTML table, but it isn’t very useful unless you transfer it all into excel. I manipulate their data to provide excel like functions inside the web browser. You can now sort and search the confidential well list for North Dakota.

If I have time I will try to make a page that shows the wells that recently came off the confidential list, but that will be a server side operation where the current confidential page operates with client side scripts. It will probably be quite a bit more complicated to make a page that pulls old data, but I have an idea of how I might be able to do it.
