Schneider Creek drains a large plateau of Tertiary gravels that forms the divide between the North and Middle Forks of the Feather River. The Rich Bar Fault, the western boundary of the Feather River Serpentine Unit, cuts through Schneider Creek at the junction between the East Branch and the main branch and extends up the East Branch. Both the fault, the serpentine and the meta-sedimentary rocks adjacent to the fault are noted for rich pockets of gold.

The gold is bright and plentiful! It is both rounded (Tertiary gravel source) and chunky (nearby bedrock source).

The East Branch of Schneider creek runs all year. There are a number of gravel bars, pools and ledges that will provide many opportunities. Notice the the creek flows on bedrock in many of the photos. The snow usually melts off in early June.

High bankers will have a field day with all the opportunities adjacent to the creek. The pools are relatively shallow and air is not required to reach the bedrock. Hence, the required prospecting skills are recreation to intermediate. Advanced miners who like to tackle the smaller creeks will equally enjoy this claim's abundant opportunities, especially with all the bedrock exposures!

There is good access to the creek from Schneider Creek road. There is a poor trail that leads up the East Branch, which means few people have worked this area.

Miners and prospectors will have a life-time of opportunities before this claim is played out. This spot is one of a kinda and you will want to add this claim to your portfolio.
