Most folks know that Holcomb Valley is the place where gold was mined and taken from the mountains. Did you know that many people still have claims up there and mine today! I know this for a fact, as I am a miner! I belong to two mining groups in the high desert and they both have claims up here!
I must tell you that it is slim pickins, or should I say hard diggin, but you can bet there is flour gold and a few pickers right here in our valley. A friend of mine from the desert area told me of a place he found to find some little nuggets. Ok, I am listening now! Sure shootin, we will be going to that area in a few weeks. I will let you know how it goes.
Mining is hard, dusty, dirty work in the mountains. But I will tell you that when you see that shine in the bottom of your pan, you just keep digging!
The Discovery Center can give you mining information and I will be happy to assist you with reservations so you will be able to rest your weary head.
Give me a call!
Susan
