**On trips to the claim, and just spending a couple of days, I gathered in and around the creek, approx. 1/2 of an ounce of gold, being worth about $720. Someone with more time may find more.** Gold prices are over $1400/ounce

There is a beautiful, pure, clear stream on the claim, Peavine Creek. This gives the unique advantage for stream panning and high bank prospecting. The higher banks of Peavine Creek on this claim are a prime area for gold deposits.

The high banking of the stream gulch on the claim is a unique advantage for gold prospecting.
Gold always occurs in gravels in the metallic state and when so found has various physical characteristics. Gold is dense and heavy, it has a characteristic metallic color, and it is soft and easily malleable (it is easily formed by hammering). These are the characteristics used by prospectors to identify gold in the field.
Placer gold occurs on the claim as small grains derived from gossan formed by weathering, and oxidation of the gold, copper and iron rich veins. Gold also occurs as grains flakes and small nuggets derived from the erosion of mineralized fault zones on, and upstream from the claim.
