Cash Register is a very unique mining claim located just a couple miles outside of the historic gold mining town of Idaho City and in the Mores Creek drainage (but not “on” Mores Creek itself). I am often asked if I have any more dry-washing style mining claims, and this site is targeted for that particular use. There is public access to Mores Creek which is 400’ from the claim, so pumping water up (for high-banking or potentially larger operations) is also an option. These high benches along Mores Creek had lots of pay material extending high up the hillsides, and while you can see some old workings across the mining claim, areas of undisturbed virgin ground can also be found. Pictures from “Show me the Gold”, is an example where from randomly selecting an area, dug a hole (about 3’ deep, 2’ round) into virgin material and processed through a dry-washer.

- Placer/lode: placer

Overview
Show Me the Gold
This is a hole opened up, where you can see the virgin gravels. The gold recovered was more on the course side, that is just the nature of dry-washing (the fine gold doesn’t like to stay in the sluice). Took about 3 hours to process this.
Driving Directions: The claims are located 2 miles outside the historic town of Idaho City. Driving directions to the claim: from Boise, travel north on HWY 21 to Idaho City (approximately 34 miles from I-84). Continue on HWY 21 for an additional 2.1 miles past Idaho City and turn left (north) onto NF 314C road. In about 1100’ up NF 314C, you will have reached the mining claim. The NF 314C road meanders through the mining claim up to the ridge. The claim is marked next to the road as entering and exiting the claim from the south and west sides.
