Claim Map and Location Notice

Please see the attached road map for the location and directions to this mining claim.

This is a very nice mining property for gold prospectors who prefer to work in or near easy, shallow water. It is an excellent property for 2-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch suction dredges (the creek might support 5-inch dredges), or portable high-banker-dredge combos. There is great access to the property from the road which follows along the creek.

There is also a large beautiful shaded road-side pull-off area near the bottom-end of the claim which provides a fantastic camping opportunity with lots of room to spread out! And there is a smaller, excellent RV or tent-camping area, along with more road-access to the water, perched just over the creek just a little further upstream. An old road to the creek is also located near the bottom-end of the claim.

This place is incredibly beautiful!

PROSPECTS: This mining property is located in a historically-rich section of Josephine County. Big winter storms have been eroding away natural streambed material, exposing gold-trapping root structures all along this claim. This creates fantastic opportunities for underwater sniping (with mask & snorkel), gold panning and small-dredging activity, not to mention what you might find with a metal detector! This claim is a high-banker's dream come true!

Besides what serious miners could do with this claim, this is a very nice quiet and somewhat secluded location where a person could just relax, or beginners could get started in a mining environment that is not too difficult.
