Oh, sweet! Butt county is very famous gold bearing region in California. Oroville is where dredging operation started! Feather river is well known for its coarse gold. And there are a lot of it!!! I am working on a claim about 50miles east of Oroville. Weather is going to be 80s this weekend. S_P and I are planning to recover lots of gold this summer. Maybe we can have a precious metal conversation over a cup of coffee sometimes in near future! Maybe we can swing the detector together. lol
Congrats for your land purchase! And hope you will have a great pleasure prospecting for gold at feather river.
