Placer Mining Claim

±40 Acres

Price: $8,500

This Spanish Creek is legendary in Plumas County for gold. The Tertiary channels piled gravels thick and deep along its valley walls that were amazingly rich. Miners armed with long toms, rockers and hydraulic hoses extensively mined the massive deposits for their fortune. It was a true bonanza. The Spanish Creek headwaters drained granite intrusions that shot gold-rich quartz veins into the surrounding rock, and over the millions of years, eroded and washed down valley only to accumulate in thick, massive deposits.

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

  • Local gravels on bedrock.
  • Small to large gravel bars.
  • Some remnant terraces.
  • Tree roots & grass clumps, downed trees, logs, etc.
  • Deep water/slow current
  • Good swimming spot.
  • Mining level: Recreational to advanced.
  • RV/Trailer/Motorhome friendly.
  • Easy access - can pull vehicle up to creek.
  • Dredging friendly (when the law is reversed).
  • Quiet and safe area; very beautiful. Good fishing and swiming.
  • Children and senior friendly - fun for all!
  • Quincy is seven miles away with lodging, restaurants, grocery stores, hardware store, gasoline facilities.

This is an ideal claim for those who like to prospect in areas not too remote and nearby to amenities, such as good restaurants and accommodations.

Quincy is nearby and has a modest nightlife, a movie theater and a Safeway, as well as a series of motels and B&Bs. Quincy is also the county seat for the county.
