Supposedly in the following image is an extremely rich deposit that an old man was able to make a living mining for a few days each year.
He would come into the local town once a year or so and pay for provisions with solid gold nuggets. According to the only known written account the location should be visible on this map.
We are talking 100's of ounces in a few days of digging. Unfortunately he fell and broke his hip when he was taking his relatives to see it before he died in 1938. The location was never rediscovered. This is sposed to be a good one.

Hi Ragnor,
Dowsing revealed to check green circled areas for gold placer/nuggets. I may check again later for other items.
Thx for posting your map,
Jon
