Grimes Creek Idaho??

[krrtuck]

Hey everyone!! Had a quick question about Grimes Creek. I have an opportunity to get a claim on Grimes Creek. The claim is south west of Idaho City, off of rt 21. Was wondering if I should invest in the claim, or should I save my money and try to find open areas where there are no claims and open to the public to dredge. I am unfamiliar with the area. Of course I would test the claim before I decide to buy it. I have checked it out on the LR2000. I will be headed west this spring. Thanks in advance for all the help and info!

krrtuck. I live near Idaho City and over the years I have known people that have done well on Grimes creek and others not so good. As dredgernaut mentioned much of Grimes was bucket line dredged, but there are areas where the dredge couldn't go and some of those areas could have potential. Like they say gold is where you find it.
If you do decide to come here, you can message me and I will share my knowledge of the area.

I actually have a trailer that I tow. It's Pretty much my home. It goes where ever I go. All of my equipment stays in the trailer.

If you think further about CO, here’s some info to start you off: https://www.jeffco.us/1196/Clear-Creek-Canyon-Park where you can run that dredge without any paperwork whatsoever. More generally this www.findingGOLDinColorado.com
