Mores Creek
Overview
These Mores Creek claims are just a short 30 minute drive from Boise. It is well known the gold history of Mores Creek (considering all of the bucket dredging upstream by Idaho City), but these claims are situated just downstream from the Grimes Creek (also a historically well-known gold bearing tributary) confluence, which means these sites have a collection of material from both of these well-known historic tributaries. See the individual prices listed below or also see the bundle options that we have as well. These claims also have the day use parking at the junction (with bathroom facilities) or camping areas around the junction as well. With it being lower elevation, this area becomes accessible very early in the season. These claims are about a 15 minute drive from Idaho City and with it being Mores Creek it is open to suction dredging. Priced right to move them fast, so don’t miss out.
