The corner in the pic looks like Hanson’s. It is private property and after being overrun in a 49er type deluge the last few years they are now enforcing their property rights. Downstream from that corner about a mile or so you will find the boundary marker for the park which is run by NID. You can mine from that point downstream to the day use parking lot with non engine driven equipment on the East side of the river. The West side is private property. Up until a week ago the water flow was approx 40CFS and easy pickins. NID raised it to 450CFS so now not easy pickins. Good Luck and Stay Safe.

Robin, it appears you skipped a step (finding spots to look for gold that isn't already owned by someone else).

If you ask a few questions here...you will get a pretty good education on claim/land ownership research for free.

Yeah I found out I didn’t hear anything by the time we left back on the website i saw all the private property signs it sure look nice on Google maps , so from there I just punched in on my phone the bear river campground and went from there down there I should’ve known . Oh and by the way I just realized I had put Coloma it wasn’t Coloma i meant Colfax. Down The parking lot by the campgrounds we put on our waiters and cross the river to see on the picture where we went can we use the flow pan and brought home a bunch of concentrates still got to go through no I was curious we had went to Home Depot and bought a PVC tubing and then another piece that would go inside that PVC tubing and put a plunger on the end of it and we were using that down there to suck up some of the gravel and squirt it into the 5 gallon bucket you just pull the one tube by hand and it sucked up a little bit of the gravel off the bottom is that legal I don’t know imageedit_10_3373339174.gif oh mt god i just read your post again we went across but was not on the land part we were in the water were the bedrock is . what is the nid

Robin. Cleaning out a bedrock pocket with a slurp gun is the way to go. The most effective miners on the Bear wear a wetsuit and mask so the can see everything in the pocket. Everyone here likes gold pics so post one of your finds.

The bend in the river will catch gold, also around large rocks, boulders.
Private property will be your biggest obstacle.
