Trinity River

[RattlingDan]

Does anyone know of areas around Trinity Center, Coffee Creek to prospect. Clubs with claims in the area or contacts of someone who does?
Thanks,
Dan

GPAA has a couple Trinity River claims but they are below the dam. I am not aware of any club owned or leased claim on Coffee Creek. It's all claimed up or private property in there, and most of the gold bearing feeders are in the Trinity Alps Wilderness. I used to dredge up there on a family members claim, the creek is full of junk from the 1964 flood, overburden in most places were totally barren of gold our stretch was saved from the old timers dragline dredge as there were cabin size boulders in there. Neat area, I have found a few unmarked mines up there deer hunting.
