gold deposit

[Den Franklin]

I have found a very rich hard rock gold deposit. Unfortunately it is a mile inside a Wilderness area of the Wenatchee National Forest in Washington state and they tell me it can't be claimed. Can anyone give me any suggestions? There is visible gold in the rocks and the site is quite extensive. Other than backpacking out the surface rocks I have no idea how to get at this gold that is just sitting there.

How about a fully built rock crawler ?

One ounce at a time. I'm sure you can carry a few pounds of Gold out of those hills. At todays prices especially.

I agree that packing it out is your best choice! You want to leave as little evidence as possible trail-wise leading to and from the deposit. Don't tell anyone, sell it in another city to an Assayer, use different routes to and from selling it as well as to and from the deposit. It would also be a good idea to get a pistol or revolver and get a carry permit. If you don't do these things, someone or many folks will try to follow you and may even try to rob you or even kidnap you until you give up the location or even worse. Back in the mid-1800's a gentleman discovered a Gold and Silver deposit in the mountains somewhat near here, once the word got out, every low-life in the country would try to follow him to his' mine. However, he was smart and led many of them on wild goose chases and they never located his' mine.

Thanks for the advice. Because it is pretty remote, difficult to get to and only open 3 or 4 months of the year I was thinking of getting some pack mules and a crew of guys to go in over a 3 or 4 day period and take what we can out of the location. However, I don't really know what kind of equipment is permitted and once the location is known I would have no rights to the minerals in the discovery.

If your taking a cell phone in with you or any e-device that works in there you may want to remove the batteries when you get with in a few miles of your find. Those things can track even when turned off.
Be safe & Best of luck!

You might want to re-think that! First of all, I am pretty sure that all National Forests are under pretty much the same rules Nationwide and without being able to file a Claim and/or not having a Claim, there is a daily or visit or yearly limit poundage-wise I believe on how much material (i.e. Gold, Gold in host rock, Gems or other minerals) can be removed. I cannot remember the exact amount but I am sure that there are very knowledgeable and experienced TNnetters that have the answer. However, I will try to find the information in the meantime. Also, too many folks have disappeared to never be seen again when they took on partners or hired a crew to extract Gold and bring it out to be sold. Gold Fever seems to take over too many clear thinking folks and cloud their' judgement. Good luck in whatever you decide to do and actually do but overall, be safe and don't be naive and make mistakes!

If you have a brother or a long time trusted friend - maybe you take on a partner -( I think this is a solo job ). Take all the aforementioned
precautions - I too think you should have a legal firearms carry permit , and no how to use it . also make sure that every time you go
remote , you tell a trusted loved one or family member of your whereabouts before you go ! Do bother to supply yourself with sufficient
water , firemaking tools , and other potentially life saving gear - (first aid gear - gps locator - cell phone etc.) Sounds like a no brainer,
but more often than not - it's the very common stuff that gets people into trouble in the back country - getting lost , dehydrated ,
etc.

One mile is not remote! three to four months, that is plenty of time.

Be honest and leave it be. It's in a National Forest.

I totally agree with those who say... WHY ADVERTISE THIS And this is a solo job. And 1 mile (give or take 1) is NOT remote. And yes you need that carry permit and don't make it all show and no-go. Know how to use it. Leave the electronics behind in a ziplock by entry to forest or area. Have wife or FRIEND drop you off. Hell... take a taxi. And just because the Govt. declared this area a "National Forest" does not lead anyone to be "honest" when talking about rocks. With that thinking if someone found 100+ gold coins in a National Forest he should be "honest" and leave them? I know I'd be taking my chances and sign up for this felony any day. If your serious about having found this gold you've already said to much. Shut it down.

What an exciting and lucrative adventure awaits you. This is the thing dreams are made of. But you have to be smart about it. Personally I have no interest in material wealth, having been blessed by all the riches of heaven. Still, I feel I may be able to assist you in recovering the gold. Contact me. Heh, heh, heh
