Old Placer Ground

[jimmygoat]

Hello TNers', a man I met many years ago used to work some old placer ground somewhere in this area. There are also supposed to be some gold bars in this area also. I was wondering if you guys get any responses. Thanks and happy holidays to all. Jimmygoat

Hi jimmygoat! i found some things, but need to mark out locations first. In the upper left corner is old placer ground, SE of that is a neat network of gold veins. Just at the SE edge of the veins is a tunnel. I'm not sure if this is the gold cache you're looking for, it is in the tunnel. More areas of placer ground in spots...will post the photo when finished.

Jimmygoat Wow, I surpised to find so many caches. Plenty of old placer mining places here, marked by red Xs. Light colored Xs are caches with silver bars in them. Light circles with a number inside, silver coin caches...1=6-7 feet deep 2=4 feet deep 3 & 4=5 feet deep. Plain light circles are gold coin caches, most under 4 feet deep. Red circles, caches containing gold bars.

Then I found tunnels with a gold bar cache. The area around it is a mass of gold veins running through the spot.

Edit-I pulled the marked photo so that his search area is concealed to public view.

Hi Jon, I had you dowse a topo for me of a bigger area as I was looking for something else and you marked almost the same area as Red Desert for the tunnel. Merry Christmas. Jimmygoat

There can be a slight difference between the maps. I've noticed in GE maps of mountain areas...sometimes there is some perspective. When you click grid from the menu in GE, the coordinate grid may in places be running on an angle. This is because of mountain slopes, especially as they run off into the horizon.

Hello Jimmygoat,
I had to rewind the mind a ways back to remember you, but I thought this may be you and could'nt remember if it was a map or photo I helped you with.... I can't remember what I did a half hour ago sometimes! (lol) Good to hear from you again. Even if the photo is roughly the same scale as the topo, I feel the picture is better to use. I feel the picture is representation of the surface and a topo is interpretation.
I won't be able to get too in depth on your picture until the 1st of Jan., but I will do a guide dowse (quick scan) for now and research the picture further in a week or so.
Happy Holidays!
Jon

Hi Jimmygoat,
I'm going to go with my original dowse I did for you on the topo maps.
In addition, here is what was revealed while going over your picture.
Green square area is a large, shallow pocket of gold placer/nuggets.
White circled areas are gold/silver bars.
White triangle area is a filled in mine shaft.
Thanks for posting your picture,
Jon
