>>2736345Found one silvery looking flake. There was both Lead and Silver in the area, I’m thinking that it’s probably lead.
I walked further up the trail this time, found this site in pic, but there is no info on the application, it’s not an active registered claim that I can find, and the sign looked to be a few years old. I think it’s a fake put there by usfs or a forgotten claim from someone else.
Just beyond this site, about 100 yds from the wilderness edge, the trail had been washed out completely and is now a skree field on the left straight into a 40 ft cliff where the trail used to be and then river at the bottom. That old cabin is probably getting washed out underneath and going into the river within the next 10-20 years.
