Admin nuggethunting Posted August 23, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hey Oakwood, I didn't hear about this fellow, but it's not impossible for a small dredging operation (1-2 man) to find an ounce a day in some of the major Rivers of California. A good buddy of mine owns many claims on the Feather River and has found hundreds of ounces from running a Proline 6-inch and a 10-inch dredge. I'm going up next season to help him dredge for about a month. He said an ounce a day is common on his claims once you get down to the paylayer. Wishing the guy on the Klamath the best!

fishbone Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 There are a handful of well known characters between the Feather and Yuba who prospect full time. We have had 2 claims in the Feather Canyon since 1973 and 1982, One un-named (because I know he wouldnt want to be mentioned ) mines down the river from us and still lives in the his 1957 school bus. There is a well known gentleman by the name of McGuyver who has had a following of fans in the Yuba and Seneca regions. Does that sound familiar? He mostly is a hard rock miner though. A. Kappman is a well known full time miner up on the Klamath. he has been running a 8 inch dredge by himself for years up there.
