MINING CLAIM OWNERSHIP
OWNER FINANCING
This is a legally registered unpatented 18.15 acre gold and gem mining claim for sale, the Tahoe Gold #11.
Buckeye Creek wash runs thru the claim for over 660 feet and is well known for gold.
Summer rains bring down gold and gems from the mountain ridges allowing for panning in the seasonal creek.

There is a side road from the main road into the claim for easy access to the interior of the claim and for camping.
The quaint mountain town of Minden is just 6 miles southwest with all the necessities.
At the claim you are out and away from everything, but close enough to enjoy the area mountain towns and all of the nearby Lake Tahoe activities.

Gold prices reached an all time high of $4000 per ounce.
This claim is in a very mineralized area, and is great for rock hounds, metal detecting, relic hunting, and dry-washing. Many historical gold rich producing mines were in this area,
Canyon mountain views and great views of the surrounding mountains and rock formations.

A good sign for our claims here are the other experienced prospectors who have claims in this area before us working their claims for years.
We also found some nice specimens of Black Fire Opal (the Nevada State gem), agates, and turquoise. Arrowheads and relics are often found in this area dating back to the Paiute Nation.

Up the mountain ridge and the buttes on the claim are good places for gems.
Camp on the claim in flatter areas off the main road, or area National Forest campgrounds.
Great prospecting location being next to 2 mountain ridges where snow and rain bring down gold and gems from the mountainsides onto the claim.

The nearby town of Minden has been voted one of the best small towns in the US.
Great location with Lake Tahoe only 45 miles West,
Yosemite National Park a little over an hour South.
Topaz lake is just 40 minutes South

Nevada, is a great, scenic state, where the spirit of the Old West still lives on.


Buckeye Creek is seasonal, with water flowing during late Fall and Winter with snow melt off, and dries up early Spring into Summer and early Fall, being then a huge wash.
Great claim for dry washing when dry.
Nevada reports that over 6000 ounces of gold have recovered from Buckeye Creek on both sides of the mountain range. Ravine has cut into this gold carrying ore body, placing gold deposits in pockets along the ravine.
Beautiful landscapes of the Sierras will make mining seasons here at the Buckeye Creek a great experience.
You can mine this claim year round as the area does not often get deep snowfall.
The area is easy to access, and you can pull a camper right up into the claim.
There are dozens of gold traps on the claim.

Nevada is a top producer of gold in the US today.

NEVADA ROCKHOUNDING
Nevada is an actual rockhounding paradise. The reason is Nevada was once totally under water, back when giant marine reptiles swam freely in a gigantic, shallow sea in an area that would later become Nevadas Great Basin. Majorgeological activity happened, making way for massive deposits of silver, gold, opalized wood, onyx, agate, geodes, jasper, turquoise, and a whole lotta fossils. It helped make Nevada the lucrative mining area it is today.
In Nevada, spending the day searching for little bits of natural history can be the perfect way to connect with the great outdoors. You will have the thrill of cracking open a slab of shale to reveal a trilobite fossil or unearthing a gorgeous nugget of turquoise. Once you find your first gemstone, youll wonder why you didnt start rockhounding earlier.
TOWN OF MINDEN
Voted The Most Beautiful Small Town In Nevada by House Beautiful magazine, this quaint community shows that you should never overlook Nevadas smaller communities. Located in the awe-inspiring Carson Valley, the town of Minden is definitely worth taking a closer look at.
With a population of just 3,000 residents, Mindon is surrounded by the breathtaking Carson Valley and boasting a town center that will remind you of yesteryear.
Minden is proud of its old-fashioned charm which remains present to this very day. As you stroll through the historic downtown, you're bound to spot 100-year-old homes and sturdy brick buildings which were designed by famous Nevada architect Frederick Delongchamps.
The town itself feels like something out of a bygone era. Boasting a nice array of charming businesses including local restaurants, antique stores, and art galleries, it's the type of community that's getting harder to find these days.

GOLD HISTORY: Gold mining in Nevada is a major industry, and one of the largest sources of gold in the world. In 2018 Nevada produced 5,581,160 troy ounces representing 78% of US gold and 5.0% of the world's production. Total gold production recorded from Nevada from 1835 to 2017 totals 205,931,000 troy ounces, worth US$322.6 billion at todays values.
Modern mining began in Nevada in 1849 with the discovery of placer gold in a stream flowing into the Carson River near the present town of Dayton. This discovery was made by 49ers on their way to the California gold fields,
By the Spring of 1851, some 200 placer miners, including James Old Virginny Finney, were working in the area.

TOWN OF GARDNERVILLE
Gardnerville Nevada holds down the southern half Carson Valleys bustling business corridor alongside the adjoining town of Minden. Gardnerville still exudes the historic charm that has drawn countless people to the region since the mid-1800s. Neighboring Genoa at the foot of the Sierra Nevada may have been the first settlement in the state, but it was Gardnerville that became Nevadas first hub for agriculture and mining supplies during the late 19th century.
Gardnerville is located in Douglas County about 25 minutes south of the state capital of Carson City. Visito
