Washington jade hunting

[Seamuss]

I hunt for jade in the Cascades and on the beaches in the Straights. I'm doing fair at it and would like to hear from anyone else interested in jade hunting. It's a fantastic treasure for a rockhounding treasure hunter like myself. Jim

Would love to join you in some jade hunting there Jim, but live over here on the snowy side of the mountain.

My jade hunting area on the east side might be snow free by early may.

P.S. I'll have my detector for nugget shooting also. Don't leave home without it this year. Nuggets should be plentifull this year.

Picked up some jade on Blewett Pass Highway a couple weekends ago.The club I belong to has claims on the Peshastin Creek area of old Blewett Highway and Scotty Road.

I busted up some bedrock and got a lot of flake and flour gold out, and BB sized nuggets. There is a lot of flood gold mixed with what was already there.

Gotta bring this thread back to ask, Seamuss, did you hear any of the gold up there with your detector?

 

[Seamuss]

I got tiny nuggets on a couple outings a back. To much over burden and I need to learn more about nugget shooting.

Can I see pics of your finding in the jade realm?

I would love to get on some jade. I also have access to claims up on Blewitt but right now I think the snow might be an issue.

 

[Seamuss]

Blewett claims are under snow now. That's where I get most of my gold and it's small unless I move my fat old but more to go for the deeper stuff. Jade is scarce there and some of it is actually serpentine. Most of my jade comes from Snohomish and Skagit counties and I go there year round. As for posting pictures, I'm low tech and need to bring high tech friends to figure that one out. I have a rock wall with all my jade, serpentine and granite on one side of my house. I need to take time to cut some of it now and go out to get more while I'm still mobile.

If you ever need someone to go with you, let me know. Im in Snohomish and would love to see some washington jade up close. I had no idea it was even here.

 

[Seamuss]

I'll be in Snohomish county this spring and early summer for a couple hunts. My best jade came from a small river near you.

I want to go with you. Are the dates on the club outings calendar?

I got curious about jade in the state so I looked it up. Here's something I found interesting.....

That is a funny video. I have found Jade on Waddell Creek. I know Seamuss personally Mike. He is a true rock hound.
