Report: Herrig Placer FH006813 This site was screened out because it is a placer mine located on private property. Johns (1962, 1970) reported that placer mining was done prior to 1900 and that remnants of a sluice box and tailing piles were still present in 1940. Small amounts of gold and mercury were recovered from the tailings piles by prospectors in 1940. The Herrig Placer is located along Herrig Creek in section 23, T28N, R25W (Pleasant Valley Mountain quadrangle).
