What this can — and can't — tell you

The public record shows where gold was documented, claimed and produced. It cannot tell you what's left, whether a specific creek still carries color, or that any spot will pay. What it CAN do is stack the odds: known sources upslope, the creeks that drain them, what's already claimed, and the bedrock — read together. Always verify claim status with BLM and land rules before you dig. Information, not advice.

The free map shows every dot above. Membership opens the layers that turn dots into a plan — favorability at working zoom, active claims, land ownership, geology and the creeks that drain the known sources. The first 7 days are free.
