Well...
Was the prospector from this area?
In other words...
Is this his property ?
Or random location in his path ?
What makes you think "this" is the area in other words.
Is there a hidden treasure of gold coins at Castle Crags?

Only Nancy knew. She was an Indian woman who lived near Castella. She also had a cabin somewhere on the old Whalen Station Road supposedly about one-half mile west of Highway 99. As the story goes, Nancy would suddenly disappear and then reappear a few days later with $20 gold pieces. Where did they come from? No one ever knew because her secret hiding place died with her in 1912.
If this story is true, the gold coins could have come from one of the many pack trains that were attacked by the Indians during the days of the Gold Rush. This was at a time when the Indian people were starving. Indians had no use for gold or gold coins. What they wanted and needed was the mules – to eat. And the leather harnesses. There are stories of the Indian robbers flinging and throwing gold coins from the leather bags across the canyons and also of hiding the coins in caves. If Nancy’s story is true, could her coins be from one of these robberies?castle crags from girard ridge road, 10-07 (3)
Here's the story I heard about when I was a kid....only it was gold nuggets that she came packin' to town instead of gold coins....
Like I said... go there... and just start looking for a place that YOU might really stash some gold.
I would say a crevice... with rocks...
Dirt hole would have stood out so "under a rock"... etc etc.
Use you imagination...
AND...
Your hands and legs... :P
By the way...
IF you use any or all of my suggestions in finding this "cache"...
I expect my "commission" to be sent asap after the finding :P
Not in the ground, that's for sure. You might get dementia and forget where you put it.
I'm lost.
Is this the dowsing forum?
