Washington Gold and Gems Maps Washington Gold & Gems

Placer gold was discovered in Washington in the 1850s. However placer mining did not become particularly active until discoveries were made in the 1860s, on Peshastin Creek in Chelan County and on Swauk Creek in Kittitas County. During those early years and into the 1900’s, prospecting was general and it is possible that many streams were overlooked in the search for worthwhile placer locations. However, in several parts of the state interesting strikes were made. $12.95 Ea
