    Black Mongoose placer claim secures the next reach south from the Black Panther claim. And just before the junction with Clear Creek. Only a trace amount of gold can be found in the Clear Creek drainage and it is large enough that the gold becomes too diluted further down valley. The main channel is wide, indicating floodwaters really roar this far down. Evidence of organic debris wrapped around tress on the benches is stunning. The creek takes a wide sweeping east turn around a prominent rock outcrop. Gravels on bedrock is common and digging in the bedrock cracks has always produced good gold.

    Access is good along creekside trails. There are deep pools, large rocks and downed logs, all of which make for good gold traps. There is no vehicle access on the claim, but there are good campsites on the claim.  In fact, the valley widens up and giant cedar trees begin to occupy the floodplain making for enchanted surroundings. Some of these trees are protected as Centennial Trees.

    The Black Mongoose claim makes a good addition to the Black Panther claim and the set of all three claims is an ideal acquisition whereby you won’t have any nearby neighbors – ever! At some point, one may be able to get a mini excavator into the drainage. That could be a game changer and one is bound to come away with a pot of gold.

    Miners and prospectors will have a life-time of opportunities before this claim is played out. Quincy is only a few miles away and provides good amenities, such as restaurants and accommodations. Quincy also has a modest nightlife, a movie theater, a Safeway and an Ace Hardware, as well as a series of motels and B&Bs. Sorry, no Wal-Mart. Quincy is also the county seat for the county, so you can easily file your paperwork on your way through to your claim. The National Forest Service District is also close and they are friendly and helpful.
