The Chimney Lode is a 20-acre lode claim. This claim can be reached with a truck, the road is rough. Open pit mines and cuts near the high mountain springs (vents). Large year around springs can run a sluice box for further testing, crushing may be necessary on some material (other is free gold). Renowned rich veins from the valley below were documented poking out right here at the Chimney Lode. Panoramic views with open areas, great for metal detectors and ground scanning equipment.
