Cajon Summit Group AKA, CRYSTAL, OT IAFKAS 1, OT IAFKAS 2, BILLY GRUFF, HARD DIGGING

Summit claims GOT GOLD!!!! like I said prior, LOTS OF FINE GOLD. Here is a sample of the gold Joe and I have been digging up on the Summit claims.

At the present time there are 3 lodes on the Crystal Claim. The 1st one found is the Jo Jo Lode. It starts up the ravine and runs North toward Hesperia. The Shadow Lode runs next to the parking area toward Hesperia too. The Sideways Lode runs almost parallel to the Shadow Lode. The best place to mine is off the Shadow lode (see picture of gold). They don't combine but cross in the ravine above. There is ancient river rock 5' below grade in this ravine. Gold is flakes, specks and fines in the top ravine. Rhino

I Have now come to the claim a few times now since my first visit in 2018 when I posted my sampling and Man am I happy with this Claim. I usually drive over 100 miles to Placer Pete in Barstow and the Coolgardie claims but to tell you the truth, THIS CLAIM ROCKS!!! The valleys and small ravines I have prospected so far all have been just plum loaded with the fine stuff. I want to show you all where to go but I working on finding the place of the old source....me and Joe have sampled all around one of the Hills in the area and are convinced the old LOAD was right on top of the hills just below Genie Trail and the power lines or just north of the tracks. The tops of the hills have a large RED DIRT area that is now overgrown with Brush. Float is all over the hillsides and all around the base. So, if you are seeing the White Quartz Float, you will find the gold sluffing off those hills coming from the upper plateau. each little game trail flat area on the steep hillside has gold just sitting there in the top 4" of dirt. in most places on the hill the overburden is only 4-6" and there is a sandstone -ish FALSE BEDROCK that the gold is concentrated on- here are a few pics of the gold from the areas on the Hillsides - More to come and I will show you all the spot when I conclude my sampling. Enjoy a few pics from the last half days we sampled. ***PLEASE GIVE ME A THUMBS UP IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU ARE SEEING***

used a huge puddle to high bank in using a recirculating sluice box I rigged up with a pump - we used the big puddle to operate and we were able to run all day with only 2 -20 amp hour batteries with no problem at all. the gold was all over in all the tailing piles. Fine stuff but plentiful as usual.

O T 1 has 4 gold traps. Some old timer found gold on the claim and built these traps across the wash to trap the gold. The lode is shown on the map.
