Long Gold Carpet Road Map
This claim is located 15.5 miles upstream from the mouth of the Scott River, and is an exceptionally-nice mining property for gold prospectors who prefer to work in or near easy, shallow water. It is an excellent property for 2-inch, 3-inch, 4-inch or 5-inch suction dredges, or portable high-banker-dredge combos. There is great access to the property from the road which follows along the river.
There is another road which crosses the river over a suspension bridge, about mid way on the claim. From the bridge, the upriver view shows some fantastic shallow dredging opportunity, and the downstream view shows even more, along with some exposed bedrock which should be ideal for crevicing and metal detecting. The Scott River is well known for its large gold nuggets.
This claim includes a wonderful, shaded camping area where you can enjoy the solitude of the great outdoors. There is another camping area just a short distance away, and additional camping on other parts of the claim.
This place is incredibly beautiful if you enjoy the great outdoors!
PROSPECTS: This mining property is located in a historically-rich section of Siskiyou County. Large nuggets and consistent gold are well established along the Scott River. With extensive suction dredging opportunities, there is also visible bedrock exposed and natural streambed that should support productive panning, sluicing, high-banking and metal detecting for gold nuggets.
Besides what serious miners could do with this claim, this is a very nice quiet and somewhat secluded location where a person could just relax, or beginners could get started in a mining environment that is not too difficult.
