Pull your camp chair up to the fire and share in the adventures of Oro Expeditions. ALERT! News has reached us from the President of Coker Creek GPAA Tennessee chapter, Chuck Pharis about TDEC's (The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation) has just sent out the final draft of the 2014-15 Recreational Prospecting Permit. The news is not good. Many changes were made from the last draft, and it looks like over 90% of the gold bearing waters in Eastern Tennessee will be closed to all prospecting. News and updates on the rules and regulations that are constantly changing that affect the small scale miner, and always a few surprises. Sponsored by PoBoyDredge.
