You own the mineral rights, not sharing with others, on the 20 acres, and use your 20 acres, recreationally for camping and prospecting in an awesome, beautiful area.

I am a retired teacher and got into prospecting as a hobby with my family.
I am 75 and my wife 73, and we have gained the experience to select the best areas to locate claims.

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.
Now that we 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.
Current usage, is what the BLM calls, Casual Use: panning, shovel, rock hammer, metal detector.

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.

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 $300. 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 $4000/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 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.
