Camping at Lynx Creek


Recommended Posts

Hey all:
Dad and I will be camping/detecting up at Lynx creek the 29th-30th of this month.

If anyone wants to join us and camp or even just come up for a day that would be great.

We will be camping on Bannie mine road down by the creek.

We usually head out around 8 and get back around 3 or 4.

Hopefully the fire restrictions will not be in place at that time. If they are.....no open flame :(

I hear there is minimal trash and lots of gold in this area? :wacko:

Only serial killers keep their trucks clean. :huh:

Prospectors wait until they get home, wash the dirt off into a bucket, and pan it out. :)

LOL, everytime I go prospecting and drive through any mud near where I find gold I pan out some of it, I also check out any interesting rocks stuck in the tire threads just might have gold in it or be a nugget, it's all apart of sampling!!! :)

ADAM - Those aren't scratches, those are called Arizona Pinstriping.

That is precisely why, when I bought a pickup truck for desert use, I got a gently used Tacoma.

I didn't want something brand new. I had a buddy who bought a brand new SUV for prospecting and following him out there the forst time was a nightmare. His wife made him take great big pruning loppers. Every stinking branch that hung in the way he stopped and prunned off.

For about a year we had the best manicured cow path to the gold fields of anyone around, I have had the same Tacoma since 1998. I've killed a dear with it, I've rolled it, and it had to be rebuilt from the frame up. I have seen some great times with that truck. I have to Rye Patch, to Rich Hill to Quartzsite to the Mother Lode with that truck and I wouldn't trade those memories for a million dollars.

I have met some of the nicest people on the face of the earth, and many of you have become my life long friends. I have prayed for you and yours and I have asked for your prayers. I have shared information and delighted in the information you have shared. I have laughed at the stories you have told, and marveled at the gold you have found. I just don't know how the heck I put a price on that.

When we going to get maps to Lynx Creek?

BCOT!

So I am reading about Lynx Creek and you can't use a detector above the high water mark, and there is a "withdrawal area". Seems like a bunch of confusing rules to me.

Hey doc, the withdrawal area is like a public panning zone that can't be claimed. Hand tools and detectors only. It's not an area that's likely to produce a lot of gold because it's been mined actively for a long time. It is however a really beautiful place with ton of history and a great area to camp and bs around a fire.
