Little Schneider Creek drains a large plateau of Tertiary gravels that forms the divide between the North and Middle Forks of the Feather River. The Rich Bar Fault, the western boundary of the Feather River Serpentine Unit, cuts through Little Schneider Creek in its headwaters. Both the fault, the serpentine and the meta-sedimentary rocks adjacent to the fault are noted for rich pockets of gold.

Our Lucky Schneider #1 - #4 placer mining claims secures the upper reach of the Little Schneider Creek.

The gold is bright and plentiful! It is both rounded (Tertiary gravel source) and chunky (nearby bedrock source).

  • Excellent camping on the claim.
  • 2wd access to most of the claim and the creek.
  • Easy access to creek at road; slight hike up or down drainage from there.
  • Local gravels on bedrock.
  • Small to moderate gravel bars.
  • Some remnant terraces.
  • Tree roots & grass clumps, downed trees, logs, etc.
  • Medium to shallow water.
  • Mining level: Recreational to intermediate.
  • Quiet and safe area; very beautiful.
  • Great fishing and nearby boating.
  • Children and senior friendly - fun for all!
  • Nearest store: Meadow Valley General Store (few amenities but cute). Quincy is eight miles east of Meadow Valley.

These pictures were taken in October and show a pretty good flow. There are a number of gravel bars, pools and ledges that will provide many opportunities. Notice the the creek flows on bedrock in many of the photos. The snow usually melts off in early June.

High bankers will have a field day with all the opportunities adjacent to the creek. The pools are relatively shallow and air is not required to reach the bedrock. Hence, the required prospecting skills are recreation to intermediate. Advanced miners who like to tackle the smaller creeks will equally enjoy this claim's abundant opportunities, especially with all the bedrock exposures!

There is good access to the creek to Little Schneider Creek. There is a good camp site on the claim for a fifth-wheel or camper; probably not a motor home friendly. There are a number of tent camping spots too.

Miners and prospectors will have a life-time of opportunities before this claim is played out. This spot is one of a kinda and you will want to add this claim to your portfolio.
