I am going next week to Quartzville Oregon, i wonder if anyone can tell me where to go and maybe point out on a map where is the federal land that is legal to pan on...

and if anyone have any finds found in that area i would love to see them..

Use Google maps and follow Quartzville Dr. past Whitcomb Creek Park. You will see the Rocky Top Rd. bridge going across Quartzville Creek. From this bridge all the way upstream to the edge of the Willamette National Forest is all open. Ive had the best luck up by Yellowbottom.
I dont have any pictures, but Ive gotten some decent gold there. Mostly fines and flakes with the occasional small picker.

When are you going?
When you get to the spot where the lake turns into river you will go up a hill. After going back down to the river level there will be an area called Dogwood Recreation site on your right. Just up the Rd, ( could be half to a mile or more, don't remember how far)there will be Two camp sites on your right. They are right on the river and in some large trees. Just to the left of these camp sites between the river and the Rd, there is a large gravel bar from the 06 flood. Lots of large rocks and willow bushes to dig around( Water level permitting) i found some nice flakes there last year. Pretty big area. Good Luck!
