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.
Welcome to the neighborhood! My claim is close to the Butte County line (in Plumas County). Up past La Porte. As soon as it warms up enough, I'll make my way there. We ought to get together in July, and tip a pan. I'll be living out of my RV. Stop by for a cup of coffee anytime. S_P
