Any BC Prospectors out there

[Daryl Friesen]

Hello,

? Have any of you BC prospectors been to the Cayoosh creek area in BC? I looked for gold there this year didnt find very much but was just wondering if perhaps someone else out there visted the creek and did better.

Thanks

Hi Daryl. I prospect in B.C., though not on Cayoosh Crk. I have a few claims out by the Tulameen & one near Yale. Just waiting for spring & I'll be outta here & in the hills. ..Willy.

Hello,

I will be doing some more prospecting on the Fraser this summer up river from Yale. Would like to get to the tulameen as well but its all covered in claims at the moment and dont know if I will be able to access any good ground.

Yup, they've gone to town up there. There's still some good land, but most of it is incredibly hard to get to. Seems like most people stick to the river/creek beds, leaving a lot of potentially good land for the enterprising prospector. Thing is, at $40 a cell, it's dirt cheap to get a claim. One thing I noticed while poking around up there in the streams is that there's colour almost anywhere you dip a pan. I've even sampled hillsides & pulled out a bit. I managed to snag adjoining cells with easy road access.. might even be able to get my RV up there... and 50 metres away from the creek!! The way the price of gold is going and the burgeoning interest in gold, a person would be wise to get property while it's still available. There's also a canadian version of the GPAA (not affiliated) and they have claims on Granite, Tulameen, and a number of other creeks in B.C. I'm thinking of joining up 'cause it would give something to do when I'm in the area & not on my claim. Also, it gives more choices when waiting for other places to thaw or for in the fall. ..Willy.
