I just bought this claim and I’m really excited about it! Quincy is not too far from here and it’s between the Middle Fork and North Fork of the Feather Rivers (which historically, had a lot of gold pulled from the area!) Sadly the original owner of the claim died and the widow sold it, but when he used to dredge it, he got really large size nuggets!!! Hopefully, we’ll be able to dredge again. This creek is not known for small gold but rather larger size gold! The day I went out to sample I did find some small gold but it was not easy and because I had to sample another claim in the area that I also just bought, I only had a short time. It was still fun knowing that I did find some gold that day and can hardly wait to go back again - There was some hydraulic Mining done farther up above the claim in the ancient channel and the claim sits in a nice ‘pocket’ to trap the gold! It was real peaceful time I had there and the area was beautiful! So I put up new claim signs and reluctantly left for home. There's a lot of interesting mining history in the area!
