Overview
With easy 2WD access, camping on the claim, and located over a known gold bearing creek the Gallinas Canyon #3 placer claim represents a perfect starter claim the whole family can enjoy.

Water flow is consistent almost year round expect during the heat of the summer the water flow is reduced.  The claim has 700 linear feet on stream flowing thru the claim.  The creek features large boulders, several bends and turns within the stream and numerous high pressure and low pressure zones creating a great opportunity for gold to be concentrated.

The claim sits below a lode source that primarily contains gold and iron.  This claim has a heavy black sand concentration and represents tough panning conditions to separate the gold values from the black sand.


Access
The access location is off of Hwy 152 in Southern New Mexico.  The closest large town is Silver City.  The road is easily passable in 2WD with standard ground clearance.
