grubstake Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Vini, some good places back there, One gully has good gold, from the Juniper mine, and there is another, on the down hill side. Some claims. but most are not any good because no fee's were paid. Check with the recorders office in Mariposa. It a good detecting area, brushy, as hell. hard to work. but has good gold sometimes. .

grubstake Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Vini, that all BLM on hunter Valley Access Road, after you pass the cattle guard. its BLM. Private before that. The name of the other mine was morning Star, it was owned by a guy in Bear Valley, until he died, he was in partners with some peole from San Francisco, You can drive almost to the lake on that road. On hunters Valley road Proper, there is a guy here in town, Mike Buttler, that has a claim, He only use's it for hang gliding, landings. Talk to him, Mike Buttlers Auto repair. He let people go out there all the time. Grubstake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubstake Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Vini, hard to get, because its all up hill or down hill, but if your willing to bust brush, and detect in hard ground, nuggets are to be found. To rough for me, and lots of snakes. Grubstake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
