Yesterday I was checking out my Whites GMT I got via UPS.
I live in the old 1849 mining town of French Gulch and I hit Clear Creek in town, I have been searching for over 2 years now, strange thing is I found somebody put up 2 signs which reads: No tresspassing! No Hunting or Fishing. This did not make me feel very good being shut out of a favorite search site of old hydrolic mining by his creek I have gone to so many times. The signs are posted on a metal Green iorn pole with white at the bottom. Many of those poles are common, you can pick them up anywhere and also many are left all over the place. Last week I saw a lot of vehicles in the area & people panning and slucing. I had talked to a ranger last year and he told me North of the whiskey town border he cannot enforce the NO MD hunting which whiskeytown has a ban of no Metal Detecting & Slucing (Whiskeytown does not even allow any digging knife over 6 inches & gold pans cannot be over 13 inches!) I called the BLM, Department: Bureau of land management who told me BLM land is permissable to metal detect and sluce & pan for gold on Clear Creek. Now I see this sign and this sign does not have any GOV/State markings or code number or phone contact number. The sign is blank at the bottom so I do not know what agency or who posted it? It is odd where you drive in there are no signs where you could see from the street only when you get to the path to go into the creek area?
I feel here some locals may have put up these signs to keep outsiders out so they can keep their lucky spot their own and keep others from finding "Their" gold.... Any Ideas my friends.
