Tailings at Swift Creek
Looking North from on top of a tailings pile. This is the area where the 294 oz nugget was found. The tailings in the distance are overgrown with alders.
Looking towards the West. Again the tailings here are overgrown.
Looking South. The near gravel is pay dirt ready to be sluiced. In the distance to the right, under the trees, are old tailings from mining done around 1915.
Looking SW. This is mostly overburden that has been pushed out of the cut.
