Honey Pot
Idaho City Sold
Idaho Gold Mining is happy to offer two great 20 acre mining claims just a half mile out of historic Idaho City. These claims are situated right off of Bear Run Road (NF 314 Forest Service road), so close and easy to get into, that even a car could access. These claims are open to dredging, but as you can see from the pictures (taken in early fall), it would be better to run high-banking equipment in the spring and early summer when there is adequate water flow. The pictures of color shown in the pans was material from 20 gallons of material (or 1/10 of a yard), so some pretty rich deposits left in the creek and along the benches. Full services in Idaho City, so close amenities walking distance from the claims.

- River footage: 1150’ Bear Run Creek
- Location: Boise County, Township 6N, Range 5E, Sec.25, NE ¼
