While little is known about those who panned for gold in Scotch Creek during the first and second gold rushes, there are still old-timers around who remember the solitary men who lived in crude cabins and barely made wages in their quest for the motherlode.

It is no doubt that these gold miners were a tough breed who could endure the hardships, the loneliness, and strenuous work.
