No limit Dox.

Not much advantage to running longer sluices. If they are designed right you shouldn't need more than about 4 foot.

Thanks @Clay Diggins. Has anyone ever done any sluicing near Colusa or Williams, CA?

I found a $400 dollar nugget at Cache Creek two years ago. Heard it was closed down last year though.

Cache creek c.a? Outside of rumsey? If you don't mind me asking but where along the creek were you?

Kind of convenient that someone finds good gold and all of a sudden they close it. I swear the govt wants to control all of the gold bearing areas like national parks. Army corp of engineers areas and so on. I see a pattern and I don't like it

How do you close a creek? I know for a fact I could hike from the bear creek and cache creek confluence that makes lower cache creek and not get spotted. Plus I also know someone who owns land out there, a location would be really useful.

I was driving by the other day and saw some guys bottle digging and holding up some nice looking whiskey bottles. Right after it takes off of 20 and starts to narrow are some scrub trees on the west between the road and the creek. They where diggin in there.

Those are awfully specific directions to someones bottle dig, and odds are
they've put in much effort to locate it. They might even be members of this
site.
