Best way to mine it is haul in some water, and a recirculating sluice/trommel and start running material! Just hand-pan your concentrates and separate any black sands with a magnet. This is a great beginner claim for people wanting to try their hand in dry-creek beds with a past gold production history!

How to Mine Buckeye Creek 1-3 Placer
You can mine this claim year round. The area just south of Gardnerville NV doesn't get much snow-fall, and the seasonal creek nearby the claim provides water constantly. To start mining this claim there 3 methods could be used to start running tonnage, if you want to scale-up beyond hands and pans:
- Dry-washing or hauling in water is going to be your best option!
- Metal detector for pickers along the ravine, high banks from dozer cuts
- Water recirculating sluice/trommel system
- Haul ore to an off-site mill
In my opinion, a dry washer would work wonders for this claim for a number of reasons. Hauling water is always a pain, and with a gas-powered dry washer you can simply run material without the need of water-heavy sluice units.
