It is also a good sign for gold potential with other prospectors working their claims in this area for years.
This area is also known for gems, and we found some crystals and smoky quartz up the mountain ridge on the claim.
Eddy creek flows into the Shasta River and the majestic Mount Shasta is nearby.
The creek has several bends being good places for gold being deposited,
Camping is off the road into a couple of open areas.

We feel we are selling more than the gold and minerals on beautiful land.
You would be acquiring an experience that will give you a good feel for what the old time prospectors must have felt during the days of the original California Gold Rush.

For any building like a shed, you need to file a Plan of Operation with the BLM for approval. For anything to live in, you would need to file a Plan of Operation with the BLM for approval, and to be considered, you would need to have developed a full-time mining operation.
For the possibility of constructing any building you or others could live in, you need to file a Plan of Operation with the BLM for approval, showing you have developed a full-time operation performing diligent mining.
You do not need a plan, permission nor a permit to camp and prospect.
You do not need to be a full time prospector to file a Plan for a shed type structure.
With an approved BLM Plan of Operation, a building can be built on the land: any building that benefits and improves the claim.
As stated by the BLM, this can be the "construction of a building, road, fence, or enclosure necessary for mining."
Current usage, is what the BLM calls, Casual Use: panning, shovel, rock hammer, metal detector, and creek powered sluice box.
A mining claim is an affordable way to enjoy the beauty of the land combined with the adventure of panning for gold.
If within one year you are not satisfied with your claim, you can trade for another comparable claim, just paying the BLM and County transfer fees which will be about $125.
Claim buyer will also receive a new, free, Gold Panning Kit:
One 14 inch Gold Trap pan; One 10.5 inch Gravity Trap pan, One combination sifter/classifier with 7/16 of an inch exit holes, One Gold Guzzler snuffer bottle, One Tweezers/ Magnifying Glass combo tool.
Now that I have located the claim, you never have to declare to the BLM any gold or gems you find.
You can prospect as little or as much as you choose.
A claim owner does not need permission nor a permit to camp and prospect.
Mining Claims as an investment: if you purchase a claim from us, at no charge, I would help you if you ever decided to sell in the future.
Mining Claims are a great investment, as claims go up in value over time, just as land does.
Owning a mining claim is having access to a lifetime of great family fun and recreation, in a very beautiful, natural setting.
On our visits to the claim, we gathered in and around the creek, approx. 1/8 of an ounce of gold, being worth about $225. As the BLM does not specify the amount of gold to be found to locate a claim other than gold needs to be discovered, we use this amount for a 20 acre claim as a projection of good gold potential. Someone with more time may find more.
Gold prices are over $3000/ounce. Though we could never guarantee what you will find, we did locate this claim in an historical area for gold prospecting.
Gold prices have gone up over $500 per ounce in just this past year.
We also found some nice crystal specimens up the mountain ridge, as is also a good place for gem prospecting.
You are allowed to post No Trespassing for Prospecting signs around the claim.
A mining claim owner may limit or restrict public recreational use of/or public access across claims or portions of claims that are actively used for prospecting, mining, or processing operations where public recreational use of a claim would endanger or materially interfere with legitimate mining pursuits.
