      @@WestCoastGoldProspecting Thanks for asking.... I was into gold metal detecting in the mid 90's with my Whites V-SAT living down in San Diego & driving to Yuma AZ area to prospect... I now work for a large sporting goods store chain and can buy a Minelab Gold Monster detector and a pin pointer, pan kit and such for a LOT less than retail as an employee.... I also know all the small creeks and remote gold claims from remote hunting ,fishing and mountain biking and so its a " No Brain'er " ....cheers :)

    Note that the area you are working is limited to "Hands and Pans Only." No tools such as pick, crow-bar, or large screwdriver are allowed. Also, when the Grave Creek Bridge is within sight, you are not at Rainy Falls. And yes, BLM can use your video as evidence to cite you.

      Well that’s news to me. I am still new to southern Oregon and this spot in particular. 😬 Now I know. Not that I really care about the silly laws they have placed on us. It kinda pisses me off that they think they can control us like they are attempting to do. No dredging- no suction tools- no pry bars or picks. RIDICULOUS. But thanks for the update anyhow. I do appreciate you.
