Prospecting
First thing I thought when I saw this on the Columbia River was dredge tailing, but it's actually more of a snaking pattern than the stacked arcs a dredge would make. This area on the river did produce gold. Untitled.png



Note to anyone beginning to read this thread: It was determined that the picture shows the remnants of some sort of gold mining operation. The thread then turns a little off track and there is a debate for several pages. Finally we discuss land status and I try to find out who owns this property.

You are assuming that the county assessor's record is correct. That's what I was doing and I wish we could but as Clay pointed out we can't because it disagrees with the MTP, one published this year. And though he linked it through Land Matters it doesn't come from there. I don't know what issues you have with Land Matters, tons of valuable information, and you can't beat the price. You say it's slow but today it was working quite quickly for me. Maybe get a better internet connection? MaybeI'm just lucky, Grant county ranks in the top fastest internet (previously the fastest) speeds in the country :headbang:
 

It's flat out LAME to think that the County Assessors records are incorrect.
 

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but in some of the photos when there is high water it almost covers this area
so could this be considered a part of the bed of a Navigable River? if so if you can get access
it may fall under the rivers and harbors act, the public trust doctrine and others...

I think at this point I'd load about 20 five gal. buckets along with my hand-crank trommel
in my truck and go down there and get some material to run at home.

All the overburden is spread out on the gravel driveway, and the gold
goes in my poke!

She's only a flight away you better get up early Owen or she'll be hanging oily sheets in the river on her new claim tomorrow afternoon:) My favorite thread was def the claim shysters thread as she revealed herself to be quite the humble community loving miner, just here to help...

Ahh ... that's why this thread keeps getting pushed off track.

I ignore all the SEPAMAN "social experiment" creations even when they pretend to be female. It's easy - just click on their posting name above the picture on the left of their post. When their profile loads click on the "Add to Ignore List" item on the left and from then on you never have to see or hear from it again.

Educate yourself and prosper! :thumbsup:

Now back to the original subject of the thread.

Yes you really should ignore those who constantly post incorrect information but now that you know the facts all that you need to do is go thru their simple application process to get permission.

The Use Authorization application is at: Reclamation Land and Water Surface Use | Bureau of Reclamation

An example of uses that you can apply for and they will consider is: "Removal of, or exploration for, sand, gravel, and other mineral materials"

It looks a whole lot easier and less expensive than filing claims!

The thread gets off track by those who post incorrect info (such as yourself) as if the information was fact. You make it to easy for me to show that your posted info is incorrect. Numerous times in this thread alone and so so many times in other threads. Thats why I'm batting 1,000 and you are batting ZERO!

Educate yourself and prosper! :thumbsup:

OwenT you have been given the links and info to get you the actual info. The MTP is GOD of property lines. It is very easy to see that some of the other screen shots and boundaries being shown to you are absolute fabrications. You have the benifit of being there and by all means make your own further queries to any agency with ownership or management agency. I'm sure you see who is trying to help you and for some reason someone is literally trying to mess with your hunt for info its just plain strange.

Many here know what Barry actually does for a living rest assured he will not mislead you. I just researched in the readily available ways and found the info pretty easily and the MTP. Google Earth and Mylandmatters helped confirm and have a fun look around the area.You live there.

Just go ahead and pretend you got the MTP and GLO links ith no ones help. use it and the county to deal with those owners and managers if you are seeking access and you will be doing your due dilligence. When you find out the MTP is Wrong and BLM and BOR have land next to those orchards and piles please come back and let us know.

I could draw a yellow line around a spot on a screenshot and write Nasa on it and give it a serial # if I wanted but I figured you actually wanted help so I tried....hope I did a little.

All that is needed to do is go here: http://grantwa.taxsifter.com/Assessor.aspx?keyId=1593181&parcelNumber=150778002&typeID=1

Use internet explorer or chrome. Click the MapSifter tab and it will take you to the property. It will even show the yellow line! I showed the email from the Grant County PUD that stated that the borders should extend to the waters edge. Pretty simple huh? So much for fabrication and yet another or numerous examples of how you can not trust what is posted by some!

Whoo Hoo found it :occasion14:
 

Winners, BPD is a very serious mental illness, and honestly it's nothing to
wish on even your worst enemy. It is pure evil, and certainly can't be diagnosed
with 20 questions on the web.

I do understand where you're coming from, however.

What I can tell you, based on very painful and personal experience, is that
the only way to deal with such individuals is to simply not respond to them.
Responding and "playing the game" simply makes you an unwilling enabler;
"the game" will continue as long as you continue playing.
 

lease maybe

So the info at Disclaimer is incorrect? All the BLM land shown, the USA land shown and the DOR land shown is all incorrect because you say so? The BLM, the DOI and the USA do not own any of the land according to you? This is the same as your claim that the USGS mine locations are incorrect? Everything that is easily verified as fact is incorrect according to you.

I assume that everyone is dizzy and incapable of comprehending facts. The verifiable facts must all be wrong? You all post nothing to verify your claims while ignoring every fact. Is there a name for that?
