Any items above may be used on this claim. 3" dredge maximum. Gold is normally flour gold, very fine some small flakes. 1 July through 10 September. USFS in Laramie prefers a LOI be completed. Claim is at approximately 8500' During these summer months ICE is still possible along stream edges. Bring warm cloths recommend 7 mm wetsuit for dredging.

Hospitable claim for dredgers. Just need to file LOI. Sluicing and panning can be successful, but is fine float. Watch camping around the trees. Beetle kill in progress.

Just spent the day at Big Nose Kate #1 and Yella Fever

I parked on the far north end of the claim. There is a large parking area and several fenced in camp spots. August 27 and the temp was 29 degrees at 6 a.m. and 69 at noon.

The water was crystal literally glittered with pyrite. The gold I found was small flower gold. I also found quite a few pigeon blood colored garnets.

The water depth was between 3-12 inches

If you are looking for seclusion and a chance to get away this is definitely it

I will be going back again when i have more time


 

Nice area, heavily worked.

We spent two days here. The claim is well marked, easy access, the directions are spot on.
The Miller Lake campsite is completely destroyed due to logging. There is an alternative campsite just past Fox Creek, you can’t miss it. No services, just a place for the trailer.

I dug long, hard and deep under big rocks. I could pan a flake here and there. Nothing very exciting.

Beautiful scenery. We stayed in the Woods Landing campground.

This claim is not acessable occasionally due to forest fires.
Look ahead of time for forest fires near Rob Roy recreation area.
