Looks like someone went on a filing binge, looks pretty shaky,
just filing on open spots close to other mines doesn't mean there is any gold.
AMADOR CAPITAL LLC
25 in CA
49 in NV
all located in 2015 unsure how they can locate that many claims all within a few months
some were located in NV and CA the same day.

Did some checking on them and it appears to be some guys just of a Washington college with no track record in Cali and also have an investment group they are trying to launch, care should be taken so you don't open yourself up to a loosing situation, there are several reputable clubs in Northern Cali, how far do you want to drive? Golden Caribou is a long standing great club in the Feather River Canyon, New 49er's in Happy Camp are just two, and lots of smaller groups and most will give you a tour and a check it out day. There are lots of places not as famous as Cloma,Mariposa or Columbia, what most people recognize as the Motherload, that have the same amount of possibility of find good colors, either way get out there and find some of that awesome color, Soon as we get our dredge rights back we will be even luckier to live in this state, so may places to go and not enough time to work them all. Cali is one of the best places to be on the west coast for prospecting

Welcome to Nor Cal Nate,there are plenty of places to go,too many to list,where are you close too? I am sure many of us would be glad to share some spots as there is plenty to go around and true prospectors dont hold out on new comers in my book or on the honest hard workin guys that promotes our hobby ,all the better as we are a small community and need to help each other .There is some very good clubs with lots of very good people, Nor Cal is north of Sacramento to all us that live here,they can keep the capital and we will keep the water and then they can see if dredging is so bad when they are really thisthy

HEY Kevin.
Yes I will and a few others. AND RENTING THEM ! Im sourcing another locally made new item as well.
I have already contacted admin here.I haven't set up my supporting vendor account because I'm not a Web page guy. I don't have a site to link a banner to. Very soon though. I will be sponsoring maps on my land matters as well. Tenant improvements and the business start up has kept me busy enough.




Not trying to thread jack sorry.

I always enjoy company at my claim. Equal work is a 50/50 split, or divided equally among everybody. You won't get rich, but you'll have a good time
Now that my ride is working again, I have some lost time mining to make up. Many weekend camping trips in the near future. Pm me if you can get up north to Quincy area.
