The Tertiary gravels of the Northern Sierra are legendary for their rich pockets of gold and prospectors have sought after them ever since they were first discovered in the mid 1800s. Little Grizzly Creek and it's tributaries drain a large area of the Tertiary deposits and has given several placer miners the opportunity to say "Eureka, I found it"!

Equally exciting is that Little Grizzly Creek drains the famous Walker Consolidated Mine area, a rich copper-gold deposit at the southern end of the Plumas Copper Belt. The mineralization was driven by the Little Grizzly Creek granodiorite. The ore occurred in Quartz Veins within a shear zone. Five high-grade ore bodies were mined along the shear zone for at least 7000 feet and to a depth of over 1000 feet.

This one-two punch makes placer mining claims on Little Grizzly Creek one of the prime acquisitions in the northern Sierra. Prospecting skill levels for the Grizzly Canyon placer claim are from beginner to advanced, trending towards the intermediate level. Numerous smaller veins radiated away from the shear zone and provided abundant placer opportunities downstream.

Floodwaters have been brisk and the drainage appears to have scoured-out every so often, replenishing the gravels and the GOLD!

Prospectors with metal detectors should find abundant rewards not only along the stream but along the slopes and within the cliffs.

Miners and prospectors will have a life-time of opportunities before this claim is played out.

Some of the amenities are:

  • 2wd access on dirt road after snow melts (April-May).

    The pictures below were taken in late winter, after the single largest wildfire in the state's history. The Dixie fire devastated much of Plumas County. We plan to get more pictures soon to show the new growth in the area, the least of which will include new trees budding and ground cover taking over. We look forward to showing you the beauty that can grow out of a fire. Although these claims might be burnt out now, they will be magnificent once again within a few years. In the meantime, the area is rich for prospecting.

    This last winter Northern California had an epic series of snow storms that left houses buried and many highways impassible. While many thought the snow fall would never end, eventually the sun came out and spring emerged. While the weather got warmer, snow melted and created heavy amounts of run off. Now the reservoirs and lakes are full and rivers and creeks are raging. This run off not only brought the water but also an abundant amount of gold from the unearthed virgin ground from the 2021 Dixie Fire. Below are pictures of Grizzly Canyon right after the snow melt. This is a prime opportunity to get out there and get that gold!!
