About this claim
Treasure Island Camp in Hood County, TX, is a pay-to-dig site where members have reported varied experiences with prospecting. The terrain includes a large gravel bar along the river, which can be accessed via a rough road that may require 4WD in muddy conditions. Members commonly use sluices and highbankers, with some suggesting that a 4" dredge is optimal for deeper digging, as bedrock may be significantly below the surface. While some have found micro gold, others noted challenges with water flow and the presence of wildlife. Past observations mentioned litter and stray dogs, but ongoing improvements to the facilities have been noted. Day use is free for GPAA members, with camping fees applicable for overnight stays.
