Absolutely NOT permitted are sluice boxes or suction dredges, or mechanical devices of any kind. Sluice boxes can only be used on a placer claim, and then only if the water does not run or seep into a natural water course. With the exception of Spruce Creek, which is located just south of the Yukon border in the Atlin Mining District , most of these sites are in the lower portion of the province.

Historically, Spruce Creek has produced the most placer gold in the Atlin area. Kennedy River is located on Vancouver Island. Lambly Creek, also known as Bear Creek is located in the Okanagan Lake area, and will yield some placer gold, and possibly some nuggets. In the same general area, Harris Creek and Cherry Creek are worth a try. Boundary Creek has a few places which are relatively easy to recover gold, and Rock Creek is noted for placer gold.

Cayoosh Creek was placer mined by the Chinese downstream from the Golden Cache lode mine, and still has gold to offer up. The town of Atlin was founded when gold was discovered, bringing many miners down from the Klondike. Pine Creek, near Atlin, produces a significant amount of gold, and you may occasionally find a nugget or two.
