Potential spot?

[taternut]

So me and my buddy found this spot up in the mountains on google maps so we went to check it out. We didn't see much quartz but a lot of clay and a lot of exposed bedrock. And we also found a creepy cave about 5ft tall and who knows how deep. What do you guys think??

Hike in with a pan and test, test, test. It looks great! If your west of the lake I would bet there is gold up there.

I'm pretty sure you have an idea of where I'm looking, haha I only have two days off this week I think ill go flip some boulders over and try a little. In the bigger creek I'm sure ill have enough pressure for my sluice but I'm doubtful with the smaller one. But I don't know if that's blm or dept of forestry and I don't know their laws.

I am not sure if that is BLM or FS either. As long as your not dredging or digging above the high water mark I would think you would be fine there.

Are you allowed to sluice on fs land though? Cause I saw a few of their trucks in that trail and I don't feel like getting hassled by them lol

The only place I know around here where you cant sluice is Whiskeytown......I have never had any problems with the FS.
