West Jackson: 40 Gold Acre Placer Claim
Plumas County, California - Gold Past Producer
The West Jackson Creek is a past producing Northeastern California placer claim for sale, measuring 40 acres alongside the Jackson Creek. Five miles from the famous Plumas-Eureka mine, the Jackson Creek shares rich mountain territory with some of the biggest gold producers of history! Act as the gateway and capture gold before it flows into the Middle Fork Feather River and becomes lost downstream forever!
The Jackson Creek flows strongest in the spring and still flows throughout the fall and the winter, making it available all year long! Pan and sluice to your heart's content using the natural waterfalls found at several spots along the creek for natural, water-based power for automated set-ups! Pan it by hand in the beauty of the Sierras in Spring and Summer, and let the machines handle the rest during Winter and Fall.
The landscape around Mt. Jackson changes yearly, with new rock barreling down the mountain every year, revealing fresh gravels and material packed with quartz and black sands galore.
Well-maintained roads carve a path to the claim site, making the site easy to park next to and access without much hiking. Picnic benches and camping sites can be found nearby, in case you plan an extended stay. If you don't, a hot meal can be found either down the road at the quaint little green touristy town of Graeagle, or up North in Quincy!
