Sample Testing

Step 1 of 2
Sample Testing
While testing this creek myself and fellow GPAA member Steve Mckinstry panned about middle way of the leased section of the creek, we did find gold, a few flakes per pan, dredging and highbanking would be more productive. Down stream we have had great success dredging, and a friend who is a geologist says this area has gold in it, up stream a small gold mine (placer) operated in the early 1900's

Claim Review

Step 1 of 8
Claim Review
I spent the day (7/27/19) at the claim with a dredge testing a handful of locations. Without giving away too much information, I will tell you most of my exploration was between Creek Access Point 1 and Creek Access Point 2 which is basically the first 250 yards on the east side of the claim. The weather was mild summerlike conditions with temperatures in the upper 80’s and the water probably in the low to mid-70’s. It had not rained for about 1 week prior to my visit, so the creek was running about 6 inches to 1 foot deep on average. See photo of the creek.

Good new claim!
Step 1 of 1
Good new claim!
We ran our dredge for just a few hours and got some decent fine stuff. It's tucked in between a few old mines so it's in a good area. Had a good time walking around with Adam Broach and checking everything out. I'll be back soon....

Short day
Dredge for about 2 hours finally hit some decent gravels about 3 ft down when I had mechanical issues and had to stop still for what little bit that we did had decent finds. I will be coming back
