Kauai ±40 Acres Price: $5,500
Our 40-acre placer mining claim is located a few miles northwest of Quincy on Big Creek. This drainage has had abundant placer mining history from both bedrock and older Tertiary gravel deposits from the proto-Feather River. Tailing piles and small digs dot the claim, giving rise to the richness of the remnant gravels. Some of the amenities are:
Eagle Gulch drains the western side of the American Valley graben, a down-dropped valley caused by the Mohawk-Almanor Fault Zone. The proto-Feather River followed the depression northwest, down-cutting in stages and leaving behind gravel benches on both sides of the valley. Because the source area of the river deposits was rich in bedrock gold, the gravels are rich as well. Tributary drainages bisected and eroded the gravels, washing them down onto the lower terrace surfaces, concentrating the gold in their deposits. The large remnant terrace deposits upslope from Big Creek make the Kauai placer mining claim one of the richest in our portfolio. Big Creek runs year-round and is fed by springs and snow melt high above the claim. It is excellent for a water source, but also swimming. These pictures were taken in September and show a pretty good flow in the creek even then. There are a number of gravel deposits, pools and ledges that will provide many exploration opportunities. The elevation is relatively high, roughly 4,400 ft msl, so the snow melts off in late spring. Depending on the winter, you can begin mining on this claim in April or May. Therefore, it is an excellent claim to start early in the season, then move up in elevation to another claim as the snow melts and roads open. The stream is shallow, hence, the prospecting skills required are recreation to intermediate. Advanced miners who like to tackle the smaller creeks or want to set up a trommel operation will equally enjoy this claim's abundant opportunities. High bankers will have a field day with all the opportunities adjacent to the creek. We used a 2-1/2" Proline high-banker and had excellent success - there is abundant powder gold, so be careful! Metal detectors should be aware that large nuggets have been found in the drainage. There is good access to the creek at many locations. 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 of Plumas 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. Click here Google Earth Fly To and see an aerial photo of Kauai and the claim boundaries.
