Come and join the fun with W.E.P.C.

WEPC offers 9 workable claims in California, both wet and dry.

Looking for Gold or just plain fun?  West End Prospectors has both. There is something for everyone. You'll spend your time finding gold instead of wasting time looking for a place to prospect.

We schedule monthly outings to one of our claims:  mountain and river claims are spring through summer and we work our desert claims during the fall and winter months. These outings provide opportunities to prospect and learn under actual conditions.

We will be having our 2024 Holiday Party at the Corona Public Library.  Doors open at 1 PM on Saturday, 12/7 for set-up and the anticipated start of the food and party is 2 PM.  We will have turkey and ham provided by the club.  Please bring food to share with the potluck including side dishes, main dishes, and deserts.  Please provide your own beverages and plates and utensils, though coffee will be provided.

We will have a gift exchange for all of those interested.  Please bring a wrapped gift worth $25 to $30, preferably related to camping or mining.  Last year was a great success and we hope to have a big crowd again for this fun event.

January Outing at Cholla January 13th!

Event date: 
Friday, January 12, 2024 - 12:00am to Sunday, January 14, 2024 - 11:30pm
Venue: 
Cholla

We are having the West End January outing at the Cholla claim this year.  It will be the weekend of January 13th.  That is MLK Day weekend so it will be a 3 day weekend for many. 

We will camp near the discovery marker and plan to have a potluck on Saturday at 5 PM for those interested.  There will be some members arriving Friday 1/12.  This is a remote claim and really requires 4WD and is not a place for RV's or trailers.  This is a big claim with plenty of area for detecting and drywashing.  I hope we can get a good turnout like last spring.

MARCH OUTING AT CHOLLA

Submitted by regli on

We have decided to move the March club outing to the Cholla claim to try something new and also to avoid the wet ground at the other claims.  The outing is officially on March 18th and 19th, but many of us plan to arrive on Friday 3/17 and stay for 2 nights.  It will be chilly at night and poor cell reception, but this is a chance to visit a claim that has not been mined very much due to the remote location.  4WD is recommended.  Please see emails being sent out about meeting along the I-10 to drive into the claim as a group for those who are not familiar with the road.  Bring firewood.  Hope to see you there!
