Spanish Creek is legendary for gold and open placer mining claims are always a good find. Advanced Geologic has secured one of the most desirable reaches of the creek with eight placer mining claims. Montana de Oro #1, #2 and #3, Rio de Oro #1 and #2; and Oro Grande #1, #2 and #3.

The Oro Grande placer mining claims secures a long section of the drainage from the goose-neck west of the campground to the Paddle Paw private land holding. Access is from a good trail from the National Forest Service Spanish Creek Campground and a utility road near the east bound passing on Highway 70/89.

The claim attributes are:

  • Excellent camping via the nearby National Forest Service Spanish Creek Campground. Good tent campin on the claims.
  • Easy walk to creek's edge; slight hike up or down drainage from there.
  • Local gravels on bedrock.
  • Small to huge gravel bars.
  • Multiple remnant terraces with gravels on bedrock.
  • Tree roots & grass clumps, downed trees, logs, etc.
  • Shallow to deep water.
  • Mining level: recreational to advanced.
  • Quiet and safe area; very beautiful.
  • Nearest store: Quincy is eight miles away.

Historically, Spanish Creek was mined very heavily, but further review of the reports tells that only certain reaches were heavily mined. Others were not for various reasons, such as claim disputes, water too deep, poor access, gravels too thick, etc. Quincy residents say this stretch still contains considerable amount of gold and many a person has eyed this with dreams of big gold.

The offer is for both claims and they will not be sold separately. Please review the photos and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We will put up more information shortly.
