About this claim

Members have reported mixed experiences at the HIS & HIS #1 & #2 Forest Service Claim in Idaho. Access to the area has been subject to closures due to environmental concerns, including mercury contamination and littering issues, which may affect current conditions. When open, members have successfully used pans, sluices, and metal detectors, often noting the presence of fine gold and smoky quartz. Some have emphasized the importance of responsible prospecting and environmental stewardship, suggesting that visitors should clean up after themselves to maintain access to the area. Overall, conditions and experiences can vary, and members are encouraged to check for the latest access information before visiting.
