[QUOTE="RotGrub, post: 177744, member: 5195"] The interesting part of prospecting is trying to retrace the past. We know there were approximately 50 miners working this area. They stockpiled their pay dirt and waited for the water to flow; this has been documented in old journals. Going back 150 yrs not only were none of the existing tree present, but based on my findings and conclusions I believe the ground is 5 ft higher now than 1860. I'm pretty sure the current creek is part of or the area where many miners ran their material. Due to the depth of the bedrock (at least in test pit 3) it might put the old creek out of reach for a pick and shovel crew... [/QUOTE]
