About This Lot

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CREEK
GOLD MINING CLAIM OWNERSHIP
OWNER FINANCING
This is a legally registered, 20 acre gold and gem Mining Claim for sale, the Rush Creek Gold #2, with Rush Creek running thru the claim for over 660 feet.
There are no more areas on this creek to locate a claim with other experienced prospectors working their claims for years.
Located near the quaint mountain town of Weaverville, founded in 1850, Weaverville is a historic California Gold Rush town.

Gold prices have reached an all time high of over $3000 per ounce.
Another prospector on this creek showed us his weekend vial of gold, 1 ounce = $3000.
Year round access as winter snow seldom stays on the ground for long in this area.

If decide to purchase my claim, see further down this listing the Buying process, my financing options to choose from, and what I would need to email you a signed contract,

Mining Claims as an investment: if you purchase a claim from us, I would help you if you ever decided to sell in the future, no charge.
Mining Claims are a great investment, as claims go up in value over time, just as land does. This is one of the areas of the original California Gold Rush.
Owning a mining claim is having access to a lifetime of great family fun and recreation, in a very beautiful, natural setting.

CALIFORNIA ROCKHOUNDING:
Although known for its gold production, California is a virtual haven for rock and gem collectors.
Rockhounding is the recreational collecting of rocks and/or mineral specimens from their natural environment. Recreational gold panning is a popular type of rockhounding in California.
California is an extraordinary state for rockhounding.
Geological forces have created one of the widest varieties of rocks and minerals found in any state.
California was the first state to designate an official state rock.
California designated native gold as the state mineral in 1965.
California minerals including Agate and Crystals are on many lands,
Rockhounding Clubs are organized throughout the state.

This is a 20 acre unpatented, gold mining placer claim, the Rush Creek Gold #2, with the beautiful Rush Creek running through the claim, and is in Trinity County, California, in the beautiful Trinity Alps Mountains, and the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The claim is legally registered with the Bureau of Land Management out of Sacramento and Trinity County. You own the mineral rights, not sharing with others, on the 20 acres, and use your 20 acres, recreationally for camping: tent, camper, or RV, and prospecting: an awesome, beautiful area.

When we located the claim over one weekend, 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 a valuable mineral 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. Gold has gone up over $500 per ounce in just this past year. Though we could never guarantee what you will find, we did locate this claim in an historically rich area for gold prospecting.

You are allowed to post No Trespassing for Prospecting signs around the claim.
