Unbeknowst to many, there be a streak of gold running thru Oro Valley. A fault line exists from near Oracle Junction which runs to the Canada Del Oro Wash in north Tucson. Placer gold erodes out of the quartz deposits on the west side of the Samaniego Ridge below Mt Lemmon. It ain't Sutter's Mill but there is a few flakes to be found iffin's ye know what yer doin'. Perhaps in the cooler months we can organize an early morning dry washing/BBQ expedition? Incidently the gold is found in what is officialy called "The Pirate Fault". Have to add that name to our sunken Tucson map too.💀
