nevada brian Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Just moved to the Portola area and was looking for some advice on some areas to go gold hunting with my 5000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Chris Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 You probably won't get any specific advice on where exactly to go, but there are plenty of locations in both Plumas and Sierra Counties which are within a reasonable drive from Portola. Do some research and explore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 My best advice would be , not to play with matches..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 To add to Chris's advice. If you find a great looking spot, make sure and check the lr2000 and blm to make sure that it is not claimed ground. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Chris Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Finding your own spots is part of the quest. The other possibility is to join a club. WSPA has claims in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathray Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thats some beautiful area Brian. I bet Jerry C could point ya to some good area. Have fun man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relichunter2 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I have found a few claim markers, but the claims were not current....so just because you see claim markers, don't mean they are off limits. Check and verify......and make sure paper work is current. Otherwise dig in !! Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jczucco Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 If you can't find anywhere to detect, you can always go to lake Davis and go trout fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredm Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Take some time and go to the Quincy library...the reference section has some old history for the area, well worth reading!fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
