Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum but been lurking for a few months. Seems like a great bunch of people who are super helpful.

I'm in lincoln city Oregon till Sunday and looking to find a little color. Are there any gold bearing streams near by? Also checked the beach with no luck... Not looking for anyone's honey hole. Just looking to add a little oregon gold to the vile back home in Wa.

Thanks for any help!!

Justin

Areas with a high showing of black sand all up and down the coast should yield some color but what is usually found is extremely tiny, usually very sparse and hard to pan especially for beginners. Most productive areas are on the southern rivers and their tributaries . Google "Oregon Gold Hunters" for a good source.

Managed to find 4 specs of very fine gold on the beach. Nothing in any of the streams around though.

Thanks for the input!

Plenty of color south of Lincoln City but not a whole lot showing this time of year. Need a good southwest storm to pull out the blond sands.

Lincoln City rocks! Heard of a bit of color north of there at Pacific City! God's country for sure but little color. Try south west OR for best gold.
