I was at the gold camp 'bout 3 yrs ago, b4 the store was finished. Don't think you'll do much with the MD. But would only take one nice one I guess. I slucied and panned.. not much color..... maybe 2 bucks worth a day

Hit Alabama Gold Camp pretty hard last summer, dredging only and totaled just under an ounce over 6 trips. Lots of flour gold, pickers when you get into the paystreak. Largest nugget I've seen was just under 1/2 ounce a lady found hi-banking. My best trip is pictured below from September last year, just over a quarter ounce(5 days dredging) that trip.

Hey Thanks guys-I am going to go in a few weeks.Working on a sluice box now-Au thanks for the post,now i have a little better idea ..... Did this 1/2 oz nugget come from the water or bank of the river?

The nugget came from a pile by the rental hi-bankers. Jeff(owner) digs from a pit next to Horsehead Creek and deposits this material next to the rental hi-bankers. There is also material taken to the main creek(Crooked Creek) from which you can pan, sluice or use your own hi-banker.

Thanks again Au.I am going to call Jeff at the camp & ask about 50 questions do you have to sluice in the designated areas or can you rome?

when i was there as the club was just getting going, you pay for what type of mining you are going todo! then go whereever you want doing that type of mining.i had a good time!

If you bring your own sluice(or any other equipment) the creek is open to you, a per day fee applies if you bring your own hi-banker or dredge. Rental hi-bankers(Horsehead Creek) and dredges(Crooked Creek) are set up in two seperate areas and no one else can encroach in these limited areas.

95% of the Gold camp is open to do as you please. The only rule I ever heard was "don't build fires in the road". You can dig in the banks, or any where else.
