Need mentor or a helping hand or even a direction

Hi, I'm somewhat new to The Forum group setting as well as only been prospecting full-time for a year now. and I live around a bunch of people who may be RockHounds around the community but hide it well. so I have taken the Liberty to educate myself with gems minerals and the occurrences of them. and I have been into the gold ever since I moved to Siskiyou County a year ago and at this point have no avail to getting anyone to be honest about gold gold bearing minerals or the proper mineralizations. if I had the money or any help with the equipment necessary I probably wouldn't be expressing it here and now. so, I have dug up multiple different minerals rocks I have quite a bit of tonnage at my house that I have collected and gained knowledge on with. Without having a Rock crushing method easily done in the woods with neighbors close by and support necessary to continue this journey I am at a loss. I don't know where to go from here I don't know how to make anything off of this I understand it's mainly for a hobby but there is to support that there was a mine at the north side of my property as well as marker trees placed in groups of 5 and 6 that were planted together I'm not just trying to connect the dots of non connecting intervals but have done research sat on this as well as my own experimenting and educating myself. Can someone please help

Depending on where you are, there is probably a gold prospecting club/chapter, within driving range for a meeting. Joining a club can help you learn at an accelerated pace. Good on Jair for offering help!

et1955 mentioned My Land Matters. Here is a link. Welcome to Land Matters. Go to maps, then click on mining claims, then click on California, then zoom in on your property. Click on Historical mining claims activity. From there you can figure out whether your mine was ever filed and recorded by the county and more or less what type of mine it was. Alternatively the hole might be an unfiled on prospect hole eg. they found no values so just abandoned it.

Good luck.

Siskiyou County has plenty of gold. I do most of my mining south of you in Trinity County.
