Moonlight Creek INTEL
Moonlight Creek is legendary among West Coast prospectors for producing large nuggets, sometimes called "Moonlight Nuggets." The terrain is demanding — expect boulder-choked gorges and dense bush — but serious prospectors return here year after year.

Stratigraphy & History
The creek was heavily worked in the 1860s-70s, with hardcore miners dragging equipment through brutal terrain to access the gold. Many old workings and collapsed water races remain in the bush, testimony to the determination of the original prospectors.
Geological Context
Coarse nuggety gold accumulates in deep bedrock pockets beneath enormous boulders. This isn't flour gold country — you need to move serious rock to access the pay layers. The gold is thought to originate from rich reef systems in the headwaters.

"The Anderson Creek confluence. Bedrock is shallow here and accessible — perfect for crevicing with minimal digging."
Economic Potential
Historical yield data suggests unrecovered fines at depth. Optimal for small-scale suction or high-banking if permitted.
