Humbug is a great place to go for gold! I live in Siskiyou County. I find gold every time I go Humbug. There’s gold all over this county.

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.

Eureka is an old miner's term that translates into "Hooray, I've found it!" Yreka is a more modern miner's term that translates to "damn, I have to go to Medford to get it!"

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.

Northern Cali has such a rich mining history, I found my largest nugget to date in Siskiyou County, on the Scott River, at a nondisclosed location hahaha

That look like copper sulfides at the 5 minute mark, a whole other story right there in the State of Jefferson. I enjoyed your video, would love to see one of those unmined bench gravel deposits.

Not sure yet on what the mineral content is on that mine hopefully xrf and assays will reveal a little bit. I definitely like to find one of those benches as well

Have you ever checked out the Stifle Claim? It's not known for gold, but garnets, gem grade serpantine and other minerals. It's nearish Placer County.

No but I'm definitely going to have to check that out! That sounds pretty darn neat I appreciate that info

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.
