vanursepaul Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hey can anyone out there give me any info about the Hoopa Rez area--- the Trinity River goes right thru it is all I know. I have been offered a job there so I am checking out the possibility of gold on the rez---- there is a copper mine i think.. I will have to get permission from the tribe to detect or pan/sluice i imagine--- but since they need a nurse I may be able to bargain with them...

sjmpainter Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I don't know about Hoopa Res, but we have a nice VA hospital here. To top it off I think I saw some gold around here someplace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevada Brian Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I have only been as far as Pigeon Point Camp Ground, near Weaverville. Fantastic gold in those canyons with a ton of claims and some private property. We detected on open land and did very well and that was just a month ago.

sjmpainter Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 What year's did you work at the Dom? My brothers wife worked there a few years back as a counselor. On that note a few years back contracting hired us to paint the interior. Well they let the gals in admin pick the colors. Titty pink as I referred to it. As I recall that got changed to blue after the admin area. I am on Canyon creek. Only took five years for some ground to open up. Persistence pays off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delnorter Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yes Paul, there's a lot of gold on and around the Hoopa Reservation. Both the Trinity and the Klamath Rivers have great gold. You will definitely have to get permission from the tribe to prospect on reservation lands. Much of the lands beyond the reservation are claimed. I was just through this area for work about 2 weeks ago. This is beautiful and wild country. Good Luck Paul Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
