  Not patented, but valid mining claims protected by the Mining Laws as amended in 1872 which grant full rights to possession and ownership to "Mineral Estates". Forest Service exercised illegal trespass and seizure of private property and legal explosives under color of authority.

If you look closely, you can see the reciprocating sluice box in action. Total throw is 3/4", and it recovers -500 mesh gold in the first 4' of the riffles; very efficient!
