It's everywhere here I can't help but find it there's so many mineral resources here I don't understand why it's not on the map for being so mineral rich here

I found nuggets and various platinum bearing ores along with gold jade jasper silver peridot garnets agates and Quartz it is mineral Heavon here!!!!! But I'm having a problem finding a way to process and or sell the platinum

First, you should probably make contact with an Assayer or several and have some of the specimens assayed. They will hopefully know of a Metal Smelting Company and can advise who to take it to. If the specimens are as rich as you say and the Smelter is interested in your' ore, then all that is left is to file a Claim if on NF or BLM Lands or an agreement with the property owner if on private land, then make a contract with the Smelter to smelt the ore and what is your' percentage of the take (which you will likely have to share with the property owner if on private land).

Most of our area streams and winter time freshets flowing into the ocean are gold and platinum bearing.I sluice them in the winter-time and recover a enough to make it worth the effort.Some are better for platinum than others. Reading thru the old mining reports can give some insight. Most of the streams flowing into the ocean between Brookings and Gold Beach will produce one or the other or both.
I live in Gold Beach, OR. and work the winter beaches a lot.
You might try crushing your rocks then screen and pan the results.This might help to sort the minerals.Check out our book on Ebay- seller tokenandcoin, or search under books for Oregon gold.

Interesting finds. Your peridot bearing stone has what looks like a fusion crust. Are you sure its not olivine? You might have a meteorite.

That part of Oregon is indeed rich in minerals -- not just the Chetco drainage but of course the Rogue and especially the Illinois as well.

SHHHHHHHHHHH,,,,, no need to disclose this,,,,just say what ya found,,, not where ya got it.
NICE WORK though,,,hopefully your dreams have come true now.
Get an assayer,,,start researching claims,,,get your maps out and I do hope you have a good lawyer on retainer also.
