I used to belong to a cave group, a grotto in the Bay Area. I'm looking for caves to explore in Northern CA and Southern Oregon. Can you point me to any local caving groups? Either way, new sub here. Thanks for the content. :D

If this is in the upper end of Slate Creek before you climb up Hayes Hill I have pics of the guy who lived there off and on for years. msg me if that's where you were! I also have pics of how he worked and exactly where. 🙂

Bitchen video

I love to go there. I just don't like how popular it is. Plus there is almost knowhere to take a leak and god forbid you need to take a dump😅. But im new and don't know alot of places. But ive done my best there. Classified 8 buckets to ⅛ inch material and got exactly 1 gram. But i had to bust ass all day in the heat to get it

That area has been good to me.

Great video, I'm a caver from southern oregon. Any chance we can email about this cave? I'd love to make a video on it and explore it for my channel, if not I totally understand and wish you guys nothing but the best!

Conner, can you legally use a power drill or something like that to help with digging? This is Terry....Meet you guys the other day at the park.

Thanks bud I’ve enjoyed watching your videos buddy would love to meet ya maybe I’m over here off bear camp road at the moment where you at buddy

Ieka became Yreka “Y”not Eureka. Now the county seat of Siskiyou County. Siskiyou County native.

Is this in wheeler country?

Suggestion: on that loose portal head, get a couple of really long D-bolts and square washers, build up a face of lagging against the head, and then bolt it in as tight as you can without breaking the timbers, and finally back-fill it with sack-crete so it makes a solid seal against loose junk, and makes it where it can't shift.

Doin it old school.

Very cool! Lots of work and it’s looking good

thankz new2 hobbie, looks relaxing n fun

Great day out there fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠

Why don’t you pick up the trash while you’re out there?

Well how did your crushed ore sample pan out?

“Gold wasn’t worth a lot then.” It’s only worth so much now cause our money is worthless.

Welp a lot of exclamations but not much explaining anything with facts! Facts facts. What are those likes Ehat are the rock stacks for? W Where’s the gold likely to be? You know facts, explanations n stuff!

The father of a friend of mine owned the original patented Gold Hill strike. We went up there and filled several five gallon buckets of tailings. We found some beautiful wire gold. About 13 grams.

Whats the stuff in the thumbnail?

I mostly work in washington so pardon my ignorance here: what's with the area being "open to mining"? Is there restrictions on the rest of the watershed or is it all claimed up / private property?

I grew up on Old Highway 99 between the Rock Point Bridge and Valley of the Rogue State park and we had 4 lots across the highway on the South bank of the Rogue River. I found a lot of gold on our lower bank.

Good luck from Enterprise.

Man I've been doing this youtube thing for about three years. You are only the second other channel. Gotta be other people. Good video.

I'm in Fort Jones, it was established as a U.S. Army Fort in 1850!

The Sawyer Decision did not ban hydraulic mining. The judge's decision limited certain aspects of the practice such as preventing sediment discharge into the waterways. Technological development of hydraulic mining continued largely unregulated because most of the focus of the Sawyer Decision was around the American River and the agricultural areas. Hydraulic mining on the Klamath wasn't effectively quashed until the 20th century with clean water laws at the state level and then federal. Also see the Caminetti Act of 1893.

Good stuff. Keep it up. Maybe you can slide into Trinity county next. And some history on Helena Ca.

When I was a teenager, my friend and I were smoking a doobie with an old hippie we had met at a swimming hole known only to locals at the time near Mt. Shasta. He was showing us crystals he had found and then he pulled out a quartz specimen, about the size of a baby red potato, with a substantial gold nugget at the base and smaller gold specs and flakes mixed in. We asked him where he found it and he said, "In the area", smiled a big grin, tipped his hat and walked away, but not before giving us each a small crystal and thanking us for the smoke.

OLD SHASTA, WHISKEYTOWN .

Im from down river of Scott Bar. Quart Hill mine was one of the largest , at its tme, gold mines in this area.

What mine is that? 101 pans where? The river?

Thanks ,thought this was cool .

My father probably knew the miners. Back in the depression my father got deer and wild game for the loggers and miners in Galice and he used to tell me stores about all the fish on the Rogue river and all the plentiful game back then. My grandparents had property next to Zane Grays on the Rogue when he was writing westerns there.

Good looking stuff 🙏❤️🌲

Fun video, you really captured the moment. Positive waves, guys!

Hope it get better for you wish I could find me a location where I'm at

Can i come help?

The town you mentioned a few times that was Thompson’s dry diggings then Ieka and is now known as Yreka, the county seat of Siskiyou County on interstate 5. Eureka is on the Pacific Ocean.

Yes I’m 2 years late but this is a very cool video! Great research and finding the old cabin and mine. Be swinging the detector like a wild man!

I hired scoob and the gang on any mine site to catch old man Smithers who always tries to scare my crew and I away...

Excellent work guys! (~_^)-b

Great video and I just subscribed. Thanks for the info!

Pretty cool spot! Heavy Pans!!!

Hey guys, keep up the good work!! You’re doing great !! It’ll be fun to hear about everything you guys do in the future !!

Why are you filming sideways? Would be real interesting if camera was orientated correctly.
