zortan Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hello all, First time poster but long time lurker. I'm curious if anyone can help me locate coarse gold canyon in the rabbit hole district. There are several mentions of this area but no area to find it and I haven't had any luck with any of my research materials or a google search. Could anyone help? Thank you!

Jin Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Don't know anything about locations in America, so don't know if this helps or its the wrong place. Rosebud and Rabbit Hole - On NE and WSW slopes of Rosebud Peak, Coarse Gold Canyon, Red Gulch, Long Gulch (tributaries of Rosebud Canyon) and Rabbit Hole Creek .

zortan Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Yeah I found that it was a tributary but nothing else to help me drive it down to a specific gulch. I was able to find red gulch and the creek but none of the others so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgatleyDP Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Assuming we are talking Western USA; The only Rabbit Hole (Placers)(Northern Nevada), next to Rabbithole Creek, and that is West of Rye Patch (4x4 only dirt roads), and over the hill (Majuba Hill mine), a few miles - due West of the commonly hunted Rye Patch placers areas. Use the APP - “Digger’s Map”, to help in your search. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Simply find a canyon with course gold in it and name it yourself. There are numerous "course gold" canyons, ravines, gulches, creeks and so on and the name is more useful to me as an indicator of of a good prospecting area as opposed to a specific X marks the spot. best of luck to ya! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 True, Klunker, except when some smartass prospector is using overstatement to describe something that is not... fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Good point Fred. Poormans Creek and hungry gulch two extraordinary rich areas come to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1515Art Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Zortan, there’s a lot to explore out there be careful and prepared it’s a lot of fun exploring, take chances and the fun can end quickly I carry sat com with me and plenty of gear although many roads are 2wd when the conditions are dry, stay out if it’s wet! this google earth KMZ file is a fun guide and will give you some interesting places to look at along with some information on the area and roads. http://www.forgottennevada.org/sites/newmap.html?mid=zXc1EpOap-5U.kejh8GxmneDQ good luck, have fun and be safe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
