Cyndy`s Meeting Notes - Mother Lode Goldhounds

Cyndy’s Meeting Notes
Hello Goldhounds from Don,
At the end of the meeting on Friday, March 11th several people asked me for the information I had presented
during my talk about research and prospecting, with ideas about places to go. I said I would send a short
summary of what I covered.
Questions were also asked about various reference books. Some are listed in this review. Here it is:
Gold and Where to Find it
* Placer (Rivers, pits, hillsides, underground, etc)
* Hardrock
-------------------Areas covered:
* Bear River
* State Parks North and Middle Forks
- Ponderosa
- Mineral Bar
- Yankee Jims
2
- Drivers Flat
* BLM Wild and Scenic River system
- Pennyweight Bar
- Toro Mine and Pickering
- Green Valley
- Stevens trail
* South Fork of the American
- Cronan Ranch
We also covered several screen images of old maps, vein strikes, etc. Here's some CD's I referenced. These
are made by SharingHistory.com and they cover some historic documents and books. The CD's are run by the
Google Chrome and are not compatible with Apple computers. Pioneer Mining has these CD's for sale. I think
they are about $15.00 each. The information presented is great research data. It takes some basic study
to understand how to look at the data. Once you have it down it's really easy.
The CD’s to look for include:
* Sierra Nevada Folios. 1894-1900. The originals are about 2 ft x 3ft. I have a few of them. This CD covers
them all.
* Register of Mines and Minerals 1898-1905. This is great mine research data.
* The Mother Lode System of California. USGS Professional Paper # 157
Sharing History.com also offers other CDs. Check out their web site SharingHistory.com.
Here's also a list of some good books that cover old channels, mines, and historic mining data.
* The Tertiary Gravels of the Sierra Nevada by Waldemar Lindgren 1911.
* History of Placer County, Thompson and West 1882.
* The History of Gold Discoveries in the Northern Mines Of California Mother Lode System. by Lewis Swindel
year 2000. Lew covers newspaper accounts of mining 1848-1875. ISBN 1-55212-472-x
* The Auriferous Gravels of the Sierra Nevada of California. by JD. Whitney. 1880. A very rare book and difficult
to find. This is the most referenced book of them all. An original copy runs about $800.
* Placer Mining for Gold in California. Bulletin 135. Division of Mines. San Francisco. 1948
This list can go on and on. I'll have a more extensive list at the ICMJ Summit. I'll be the first speaker for the
Summit on Saturday April 16th in Placerville (10:30 AM) . Hope to see you
there. http://www.icmj.com/miningsummit.php

That's if for now. Hope this helps some.
Thanks.
Don
See you next month,

Members Only Outing
See below for more details
Bear River Outings
It looks like we will be having 2 outings at the Bear River Group Campground this year! The first on May 12 - 16th and
the second one on October 27-31. Just a gentle reminder, these outings are for MEMBERS ONLY. So make sure that your
membership is up to date. There will be more information on this next month.
Bear River Outing May 12 – May 16, 2016
Make sure your Application/Disclaimers and dues are up to date so you can join us at this fun-filled outing! If you have a
question about, feel free to contact me at 530-346-9481 or email me at: [email protected] .
This is the Group Campground that we use at the Bear River. Instructions on how to get there are at the end of this
message. Please direct any further questions to me. There will be a sign-in area when you come into the camping area.
Please sign in immediately before setting up camp. There will be someone at the sign-in area. This outing is for Members
Only. The club pays for the campgrounds. You only need to bring supplies for yourself plus for the Saturday night and
Sunday Morning Breakfast Potlucks. BRING WATER for drinking and clean up, there is no running water at the
campground.
You can come in for a day outing or stay for every day and night, or anything in between. The campground is ours
completely. It will not be used by others.
There will be a lock on the gate, with a combination setting of “7-7-7”. This is a simple tumbler lock where you set each
number and then open the lock. When you re-lock it, turn some of the tumblers off the combination. This is the same for
each of the past few years. It’s important for you to re-lock the gate after every entrance and exit, and make sure the lock
is through the Placer County lock. That way they can get in and out if they need to.
We’ll have a potluck dinner on Saturday evening starting at 5:00PM, and you all know we start on time! Bring a dish to
share for eight (8) people. Be prepared and have your food ready and on the table by no later than 4:45 PM.
14
18th Annual Potluck Breakfast will be held on Sunday morning and will start at 8:00 am. You don’t want to miss this
either. Be sure to bring juice, rolls, or other breakfast goodies to share with others.
As for mining and prospecting equipment, within the park area is non-motorized; meaning motorized equipment of ANY
kind is not allowed. Not even solar powered mining equipment. We can run motorized equipment below the park area
where we always do (no dredging of course). This means we can power sluice. The one requirement for power sluicing is
that the water and tailings from the sluice cannot run back into the river. It must be dissipated by a holding dam or by
running back into the bench gravels and disappearing. Normal hand sluicing is permitted within the park area. The lower
boundaries will be flagged so you’ll know you can start if you want to power sluice. Detecting, sluicing, sniping, and
panning are permitted in the park area and outside as well. There are no restrictions here.
At this moment campfires are not permitted. This may change before the outing. We generally are permitted to have a
group campfire.
The facility consists of pit toilets, picnic tables and river access. You may park along the road but not on the bench area
itself. Do not block the road. Bring plenty of drinking water, chairs, extra tables and pop-ups if you have them. The
weather is always subject to change at this time of year. Be prepared!
The Bear River Campground is only on the park side of the river where we camp. The opposite bank is private land so
please keep that in mind.
This is a super outing for us and we’ll likely have 90 or more people. Parking your rig, tent, etc., is important to conserve
space. We’ll likely have someone directing parking.
I want to remind everyone, if you belong to another group and have been camping in the campground before us, you
must pack up your site and leave with that group. You can then get in line to re-enter the campground with us. We go
into the campgrounds as a group only. This is to satisfy our group insurance, and out of fairness to our all members.
Directions –
Take Hwy 80, going toward Reno from Auburn. About 10 miles past Auburn, take the West Weimar Crossroads off of
Interstate 80. Go left over the freeway, (North) for 1.5 miles. Turn right at the T intersection at Placer Hills Road, travel
2.5 miles to Plum Tree Road and turn left on Plum Tree Road to the Bear River Park/Campground on your left. The
Parking lot is on the left at the bottom of the hill, turn left into the parking lot, then g, through the Green Gate at the far
left of the parking lot (combo 7-7-7). This private group campground is about one mile after you go through the gate. Be
sure to lock the gate thru the other lock when you come in or leave.
For those of you coming the first time we recommend you use the instructions above There is another way through
Colfax, if you know it. It’s a good way to go as well if you are familiar with the route.
Watch your emails for any other information as we get closer to the outing date.

World Gold Panning Championships 2016
It's time for another gold rush! Gold panners from around the world agree, and will head to Placerville and the El Dorado
County Fairgrounds in September. The World Gold Panning Championships will take place there from September 11th to
the 18th.
The event is expected to draw hundreds of international competitors from over 22 countries around the globe, along
with a large and very competitive group of locals from all over gold country and the United States. The weeklong event,
El Dorado County Gold Week, will be festive, educational, colorful, and is sure to showcase the skills needed to compete
at this level.
The championship will open with a parade of nations on Main Street in Placerville, and it just gets better from there.
Expect music, people in 1849 costumes, educational stations for students, gems and minerals, craftspeople with
handmade treasures, dancing, and a wide variety of food, along with much more, including the legendary Studebaker
Wheelbarrow Races.
Excursions to Coloma to see the Coloma Players and the historic Sutters Mill, Gold Bug Park in Placerville, the wine
country, Historic Main Street Placerville, and Apple Hill just start the list of things to do when you're not watching the
world’s best panner’s finding gold in their pans.
An impressive list of community sponsors has signed on for the event. Spearheaded by Richard “Uncle Fuzzy” and Joyce
Mason, the organizing committee has been working since early 2013 to bring the Championships back to the California's
gold country. Community members up and down Highway 49 have pitched in to make this a memorable event for
everyone.
For a full look at what's ahead, go to the event website at http://www.eldoradogold2016.com/. Make plans now to be a
part of this new gold rush. Bring your pans and join the competition!
