Overview
Enjoy a year round mining season on the Marie Gold Flats 001 Placer Claim.  Located directly against the main lode source this claim features a large wash containing gold, silver, copper, lead, manganese, and zinc.  A dry washer and metal detector is recommended for this claim.  

​

This claim features easy access via dirt BLM road and dispersed camping location.  The minerals found are generally in the fine to flake form with some larger pieces found on the exposed bedrock portions of the claim.

​

Portions of bedrock are exposed with a relatively shallow depth to bedrock on the deeper portions of the claim of approximately 4 - 6 feet.  The bedrock is extremely wavy which creates a great mineral trap for higher concentrations of mineral to be deposited within the cracks and crevices of the bedrock.
