REPORT AND ARE MARKED WITH 4 ASTERICKS (****).  PLEASE READ THESE NOTICES !!!! 

*(We ask those that have been receiving this notice/newsletter for a while to 
be patient with items that are repeated. We need to do this for the benefit of 
new CVGP members that are continuing to signup with the club. We will now try 
to keep these repetitive items located towards the end of the newsletter and 
which occasionally will have some changes.) 

First, the minutes of the last meeting

- Joe Coyle, CVGP President, opened the meeting with aprayer. 

- Joe discussed the “Miners Day” plans for the Sept. 15th meeting at the Red 
Barn and gave the directions. 

- Joe mentioned an historical organization called the “Field Day of the Past” 
that is requesting help from any CVGP members that would be interested in 
giving panning demonstrations or talks on prospecting at their 10th Field Day 
on Sept. 21-23.  Last year Palmer Sweet helped out but can’t participate this 
year.  If interested, please talk to Joe Coyle or myself for some forms you 
would need to fill out. 

- Joe also mentioned someone contacting him requesting CVGP members start 
writing letters to Wash., DC about some new changes to the mining laws that 
are in the works.  We’re expecting a Fax from the person on specifics and will 
let you know more when we receive it. 

- Ron reminded everyone that the vote regarding whether or not the CVGP should 
be a chapter of the GPAA was extended to Sept. 1st and urged any members that 
have not voted yet to cast their vote either at the meeting, by E-Mail or by 
“Snail” mail. 

- Joe again mentioned the VERY important need for volunteers for the CVGP 
Claims Committee and also if any members know the names of property owners on 
potentially good gold bearing areas to bring it to the attention of the Claims 
Committee (currently John Hakala is the only member!)or to any of the club 
officers. 

- John had some comments to make regarding certain by-laws the GPAA requires 
of it’s chapters that are not appropriate. 

- Club member, Gilbert Sorg, mentioned that prospecting clubs in Georgia and 
North Carolina are set up to pay any member that passes on info for a 
potential claim that eventually becomes a club claim. 

- John passed a pan around asking all attending members to donate $1 for to 
give to Small Country Campground for the use of their pavilion. 

- Joe suggested that members should feel free to bring any prospecting 
equipment to CVGP meetings to either demo or offer for sale to members. 

- Ron Pope reminded everyone that the term of the current CVGP officers will 
expire at the end of this year and new officers will need to be elected at the 
last meeting of the year on October 20th.  (**** More on this below). 

- Attendance list was passed around.

CVGP FINANCIAL REPORT 

The Central Virginia Gold Prospectors currently does not charge dues or fees 
of any kind to be a member of the club. To cover any expenses for club 
activities such as outings, dinners, property leasing costs, postage, etc. we 
hold raffles, sell 50/50 chances, accept donations, etc. Therefore, a regular 
part of this monthly newsletter will be an up to date financial report 
indicating both income & expenses and current balance of the CVGP account (a 
CVGP checking account was opened on 7/28/00 with F&M Bank). As voted and 
approved at the 4/21/01 meeting, a $100.00 (maximum) Petty Cash Account was 
started.  $100.00 was retained from the 5/19/01 meeting proceeds to start the 
Petty Cash Account.  Any future Petty Cash expenses will be replenished from 
meeting proceeds as required to maintain a $100 Petty Cash balance ):

TOTAL CVGP BALANCE (as of 7/25/01).......................$ 1682.64 

**** “MINERS DAY” –The “Miners Day” at the Red Barn on Sept. 15th should be 
a fun day for all.  Joe Coyle has arranged to have a Roasted Pig to satisfy our 
appetites. There is also a panning contest (for a gold nugget prize) planned. 
We hope to have a number of different types of prospecting equipment on 
display and ask that members who have any unusual or “homemade” equipment to 
bring to the event. May even be some door prizes. Members are encouraged to 
bring any dishes to compliment the hog such as cole slaw, potato salad,   
refreshments (non-alcoholic please), snacks, deserts, etc. Maybe someone would 
like to bring some Horse Shoes for a CVGP tournament??? 
______________________________________________________________________________

**** VOTE EXTENSION ! - Regarding the question of whether or not the CVGP 
should be a chapter of the GPAA, the Sept. 1st deadline has passed and all of 
the votes have been counted.  The results will be announced at the Sept. 15th 
Meeting/Miners Day.  (P.S.- thanks to the many members who have expressed 
their wishes regarding this matter by casting their vote !) 
______________________________________________________________________________

**** CVGP NOW ON THE WEB ! -  A big THANK YOU to new member, Dave 
Saum for putting a CVGP page on his web site "http://infiltec.com/gold"
which has a link to the CVGP page.  Or, you can go directly to the CVGP 
page using "http://www.infiltec.com/cvgp".  I'm sure Dave would 
appreciate hearing from CVGP members that may have any ideas or suggestions 
regarding his Web site and/or the CVGP page. 
______________________________________________________________________________ 

__________ 

**** UPCOMING CVGP OFFICER ELECTION - The 2 year terms of the current CVGP 
officers will expire the end of this year.  An election will be held at the 
last meeting of the year on Oct. 20th for:  President, Vice-President, 
Secretary, Treasurer (or Secretary/Treasurer) and Claims Committee Chairman.   
THE CVGP WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO FUNCTION WITHOUT THESE OFFICER 
POSITIONS FILLED!   So, if you are interested in any of these positions or 
would like to nominate someone , please talk to, call, write or E-Mail either 
Joe Coyle, John Hakala or Ron Pope before the Oct. meeting.  I'm sure there 
are numerous members that would do an excellent job in leading the CVGP in the 
right direction maybe with some fresh ideas! 
(P.S.- the new Claims Committee Chairman will be needing volunteers 
for assistants...a good number would probably be 3-6 assistants).              
                               
CVGP MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY – I STAND CORRECTED!!!!  At the last meeting, one of 
the members asked why we can’t have a membership directory available for 
all members to have and I told him I was under the impression that Privacy 
laws would prevent this.  I’ve been since advised and corrected that there is 
no Privacy Law problem as long as the directories are passed out to CVGP 
members only and kept amongst the members only.  So, we will look into what 
it would take to develop a directory that could be put together and 
maintained without an excessive cost to the club or membership.  More on this 
later…. maybe a good project for the new incoming club officers???

FUTURE CVGP CLUB MEETING DATES 
John Hakala advised me that Small Country Campground will continue to allow us 
to use the pavilion for our club meetings every 3rd Saturday of the month 
through and including October.  So For those who like to plan ahead, 
the meeting dates for the rest of the year will be:  9/15/01 and 10/20/01. 
______________________________________________________________________________ 

___________ 

CVGP VOLUNTEER REQUESTS 
1. As previously requested, the Claims Committee could use the talents of 
someone that has surveying experience to assist in difficulties they are 
experiencing reading old plats, identifying old boundary markers, etc. 
(Contact  John Hakala if you can offer assistance). 
2. If the CVGP is to have a "Miners Day" open to the general public 
next year, members should start thinking now about forming a committee soon to 
properly plan this event. 
______________________________________________________________________________ 

___________ 

MEMBER DONATIONS 
You've probably noticed that in just about every CVGP Financial Report, there 
are "donated" amounts showing up.  Some winners of 25/25/50 raffles 
at past meetings turned over their winnings back to the club.  Others donate 
by participating in the various raffles or bringing covered dishes to the 
meetings or donating their time and talents or simply donating information 
regarding prospecting.  This is the type of member participation that will 
ultimately insure the success of our club !   
If you do not need to specify what you want your cash donation to be used for 
it will be deposited into the clubs general fund.  However, if you want to 
make a cash donation for a specific purpose, please see me and make sure to 
let me know what you want your donation to be used for.  We will keep a record 
of your donation so that it is only used for the purpose you designated. 
______________________________________________________________________________ 

___________ 

Member Participation 
We are attempting to keep the CVGP meetings as informal and as relaxed as 
possible since we don't want to get into arguing parliamentary procedures 
instead of discussing what we all come for......prospecting!  So, if you have 
a suggestion, an idea, prospecting hint or tip, a question or anything 
relating to the club and/or prospecting, please do not hesitate to bring it up 
at a meeting.  Except for the opening prayer, committee reports, club 
announcements, etc., consider the entire meeting an "open discussion"
period for you to participate to your hearts content.

INTERESTING PROSPECTING WEBSITES 
(If you know of some real interesting and informative gold prospecting 
Websites and would like to share the Web address with the rest of the 
members, please let me know and we'll put it in the next newsletter.) 

- I recently came across a Web site called "Prospecting Near Washington, DC". 
Has information on prospecting places in Virginia and Maryland, access to 
prospecting equipment plans, topo maps, prospecting dealers, Mineral Resources 
Depts. and loads of links to other interesting sites many of which relate to 
the Virginia and Maryland areas. The site address is:  
"http://www.infiltec.com/gold". (This is new member, Dave Saum's site 
in which he has added a CVGP page as noted above!). 
______________________________________________________________________________ 

___________ 

MEETING HANDOUTS 
Several members often bring in copies of various prospecting articles, 
prospecting tips, prospecting "how to" sheets, duplicate prospecting 
magazines, etc. to share with the members.   If you have come across something 
you would like to share with the members, please make some copies and bring 
with you to a meeting.  If you do not have access to a copy machine, if you 
give me the article, I'll be glad to run off some copies to distribute to the 
others. 
______________________________________________________________________________ 

___________ 

GMM Card, Sportsman Pledge Cards 
One of our members, Dennis McClevey, showed me his GMM (General Mineral 
Mining) card which shows that he took a mining safety course.  Seems to me that 
having such a card might just be one more sign of credibility you can use when 
attempting to get property owners permission to prospect.  Dennis says the 
Virginia Div. of Mineral Resources should be able to give you details on who 
will be giving the next course and where and when.  Related to this, Dennis can 
show you an "Operation Respect Pledge" card which is very similar to 
the "Sportsman Pledge" cards John Hakala has.  All of these things 
should help prevent a land owner from looking at you as being a "crazy"
but instead as someone who will treat his property with respect! 
______________________________________________________________________________ 

___________ 

VIRGINIA DIVISION OF MINERAL RESOURCES - PUBLICATIONS & UPDATE 
In past newsletters, we've listed a number of gold prospecting related 
publications that are available from this very valuable resource.  Instead 
of continuing with our listing, it would probably be better for you to 
obtain their latest "Catalog of Publications and Maps" which is 33 
pages long!  It includes a listing of all of their publications, bulletins, 
reports, maps, books, etc.  Prices (which are VERY reasonable) are 
also listed.  You can even purchase rock and mineral sets.  You can also bring 
in your rock/mineral finds to have them identified.

PROSPECTING IN VIRGINIA 
Please keep in mind that with a few exceptions, most gold bearing areas in 
Virginia are located on Private Property! We do not want to create a bad 
image of recreational prospectors in Virginia not to mention the fact of 
having to face a judge for Trespassing charges! ALWAYS get permission from 
the property owner BEFORE starting your prospecting activities on private 
property! Also, if you have a place that you have permission to prospect on, 
PLEASE show your appreciation to the property owner by not "trashing" 
his place. Remember, if you bring it in (bottles, soda cans, paper bags, 
etc.) take it out. Leave the property in the same if not better condition than 
when you first came there. Then, for sure, you'll be welcome to come back. 
______________________________________________________________________________

FUTURE OF CVGP 
The registration list of the CVGP continues to grow from meeting to 
meeting. Currently at over 170 registrants!  Attendance at the last few 
monthly meetings runs anywhere from 30+ to 50+. Important matters 
concerning the future of CVGP often come up at most every meeting. So for your 
benefit and the benefit of all members, please attend as many meetings as 
possible and feel free to join in any of the discussions with your thoughts, 
ideas and viewpoints. 
______________________________________________________________________________ 

___________ 

GUEST SPEAKERS AT A FUTURE MEETING 
We were fortunate to have geologist, Dave Wooley at the April meeting.    
Maybe with a little "arm twisting" we can convince him to come back 
and again share some more of his valuable knowledge with us?  Efforts are also 
continuing to line up other Guest Speakers at future meetings.  If you know 
someone that would be able to offer some valuable information regarding 
prospecting in Virginia, by all means please do not hesitate to invite them to 
attend one of our meetings. 
______________________________________________________________________________

LOOKING FOR A PROSPECTING "BUDDY"? 
We now have 170+ prospectors registered on our club listing that live 
throughout the state of Virginia, West Virginia and even Ohio. Many 
prospectors find that this hobby/recreation is more enjoyable when they have 
some company with them. So, if you would like to get in contact with someone 
near you, please contact either: 
Joe Coyle (540-672-9113; JHCOYLE@ns.gemlink.com), 
John Hakala (804-457-2407; Johniblu@juno.com) or 
Ron Pope (804-263-5981; RPASSOC@aol.com.). 
Due to Privacy Laws, we cannot give you any names but we can pass on your name 
and phone number to other prospectors in your area and if they're interested, 
they'll contact you. 

CVGP CLAIMS COMMITTEE 
The "CVGP CLAIMS COMMITTE" was formed at the July, 2000 meeting. 
This is the KEY for our club to develop more prospecting places for club 
members to go to in Virginia!!!!! If you are aware of a property that may 
have good potential as a club claim, PLEASE bring it to the attention of 
either of the Claims Committee.  It is their job to determine if there is legal 
public access to the property or if private property, to determine the 
property owners for the purpose of either obtaining permission and/or any 
special arrangements such as leasing for club members. (By the way, leasing is 
one of the reasons to build up the club "kitty").  (NOTE: The 
Claims Committee currently needs a Chairman and 3-6 committee members!!!!). 

OTHER PROSPECTING INFO ON THE WEB & TV 
-Occasionally, you may find documentary shows regarding the history of 
Gold Prospecting as well as Treasure Hunting on TV channels such as & 
"The Learning Channel (TLC)", "The History Channel" or "The Discovery Channel"
so it might be good to keep an eye out on 
these channels when browsing through your TV guide. 
- The national GPAA has a WEB site "http://www.goldprospectors.org" which 
every prospector should check periodically and in particular the Forums. The 
GPAA site also has links to their prospecting sites where you can find loads 
of info even including plans on how to make your own prospecting equipment! 
The GPAA also has several prospecting shows such as "Prospecting America",
"Gold Fever Show" and "Buzzardite Classics" on the 
Outdoor Channel on TV (check with your cable TV provider or for dish owners, 
the Outdoor Channel is located on Galaxy 10/24 and X4/402). 

E-MAIL CLUB NOTICES/NEWSLETTERS 
At present, it is only practical to get these somewhat detailed 
monthly notices/newsletters to members that have E-Mail (about 1/2 of the 
entire membership). Eventually, all those without E-Mail will be getting
"snail mail" postal card notices thanks to the hard work of 
Joe Coyle and the generosity of member Jack Rankin who has a printing 
business. However, the "snail" mailed notices will be only to alert 
members of the next meeting dates. If you have not been receiving these 
E-Mailed notice/newsletters, it's either because you don't have E-Mail or we 
do not have your E-Mail address! If you know any members that are not getting 
any of these E-Mails, please have them E-Mail me (RPASSOC@aol.com) their 
E-Mail address and we'll be sure to add them to the E-Mail listing. 

SUGGESTIONS 
Please remember, your suggestions, thoughts, ideas, information for the 
club meetings, monthly newsletters, etc. are ALWAYS welcome. We do not ever 
want to forget that the main goals of the CVGP are to not only promote 
the hobby/recreation of Gold Prospecting but to also make it more enjoyable 
and rewarding for those already involved. Even if you think that whatever you 
have to contribute is unimportant, believe me, if it has anything to do 
with prospecting, you can count on the others being interested in what you 
have to say!!!! 

CVGP IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION 
The CVGP currently does not charge membership dues or fees of any kind. 
To cover the cost of any club expenses such as phone calls, postage, 
outing related expenses, property leasing, etc. we raise money by holding 
raffles, 50/50 chances, selling or auctioning donated prospecting items, 
receiving donations (of either time or money), etc. Your support of any of 
these fundraising activities (or contribution of your talents or resources) 
would not only be appreciated by all of the members but ultimately will 
benefit all members in reaching our common goals for this club. 

ALL ARE WELCOME! 
Please feel free to bring along any prospecting buddies of yours, 
family members especially your children or friends that want to find out more 
about prospecting to the meetings.  CVGP meetings are open to ALL those 
interested in prospecting! 

HAPPY PROSPECTING and hope to see you all on Sept. 15th 

Regards, 
Ron Pope
