How is the Gold?- We found consistent fine gold on the surface. We averaged about 2-3 colors per pan. We have not sampled deep yet.
SPECIAL NOTES: This claim has a hot spring pool on the claim. We are allowed to use the hotspring, but we do not have exclusive rights to it. In the hot spring pool there is a drain pipe, if you wish to use the pool you should plug the pipe and let it fill up. When you are done unplug the pipe. This keeps the water fresh and the algae down. Please do not mine with 25′ of the hot spring, or in any other way that prevents others from enjoying it.
