[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1529258, member: 498"] So a friend of my wife stopped and spent the night. She had played around some in the past panning for gold. Well the are just up stream of here was a big gold mining area years ago. The gold rush started back in 1860's and the major mining shut down in the 1920's. This place was never mined but the river that runs through those mines runs through my place. So my wife and her friend went out to the river and ran a few pans. They found a little speck of gold on the first pan. They ended up panning out 6 about shovel fulls. They got 8 specks of gold. So it appears I not only bought a ranch, I bought a gold mine. We ended up taking the friend for a drive up the canyon to where the big mines had been. We found the site where those guys from the TV show Gold Rush mined when they were here in Oregon. They didn't find much gold but the area they tried to mine were worked pretty hard back in the day. [/QUOTE]
