section of the Klamath River. The
Klamath River is a proven gold-
bearing river. Anyone is going to

attracting stream and land
structures, which allows a miner to

open area, this claim is excellent

The Klamath River in this area is
relatively wide and bends in the
deep “S” shape, where you find a
very attractive natural sand bars
at the inner curves; those natural
bars create an excellent diversity
areas there is excellent for high-
banking, sluicing,and metal
detecting. Even though the river is
wide and shallower, the main
channel is fairly deep with
stronger current, which provides
diversity mining areas (variety of
the depth with different current
speed). The stronger current in
the main channel brings new gold
deposits, which tend to settle in
less strong current area (slack
area, for example, inner curve
area). In the downstream, there
are also nice stretches of a
natural bar (Lot 2 - 4). Around this
section, there are some
submerged boulders in the pool,
which also traps new gold
deposits. Along the shoreline,
there are nice fine sand beaches
where your family members could
enjoy gold panning on nice
California sunny days. You also
find excellent sluicing spots in the
shallow riffles.
The “off-stream” area is another
attraction of this claim. There are
acres of nice fine sand area where
you can explore and mine with
methods, such as high-banking or
dry panning.

claim is suited for any miner, from
a beginner (or your family
members) to advanced level. It
provides a variety of mining area
for various mining methods.
