    Tips

    Hiking

    Deposits around Breckenridge were particularly rich with gold and lent themselves to more mechanized methods of placer mining. By using mechanical arms, buckets were able to dig into the stream around 40 to 50 feet deep. Known as dredges, these boats could start at the bottom of a stream and dig their way upstream. The larger rocks and unproductive gravel were thrown off the back of the boat, filling the pond as the operation moved upstream. This process did cause damage to bodies of water.
