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 Montana Gold Rush.
A mining claim is an affordable way to enjoy the beauty of the land combined with the adventure of panning for gold.
The claim is located in the Tobacco Root Mountains having a history of gold production.
It is a good sign that there are other claims in this area being worked by experienced prospectors for years.
The historic Missouri Mine once pulling in gold in the Montana Gold Rush is in the area.
National Forests remained open at all times during the virus with a televised invitation by the Director for families to visit them as safe places for family recreation, making our mining claims some of the safest places for your family to enjoy and get away from all the nonsense.
Our claim is located in the Tobacco Root Mountains being well known for gold and gem discoveries.
The TV show, American Gold: The Legend of Bear Gulch, on the Fox Business Channel, takes place in these same mountains.
The TV series, Yellowstone with Kevin Costner, is filmed just West of this area.

MADISON COUNTY: Down in Southwest Montana, sharing a tiny portion of its southern border with Idaho is Madison County. This mountainous part of Montana is wedged between Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks, and its residents maintain their local traditions that are inspired by the natural landscape, like fishing, ranching, and all things outdoors.
The county seat is Virginia City, an interesting place split between the historic and the contemporary. Half of the town contains a vibrant, current-day population, while the other half is an abandoned mining town, preserved as a slice of history and a window into the lives of settlers from the mid-1800s.
While Virginia City is probably the countys largest touristic draw, the nearby town of Ennis is a delightful stop for passers-through, and is host to many annual events. Though it doesnt immediately border Yellowstone National Park, Madison County, and more specifically Ennis, can make a great base from which to explore the park.
North Meadow Creek begins in the southern portion of the Tobacco Root Mountains. Located in the upper portion of this drainage is South Meadow Lake. The creek originates in thick timber stands, and makes its way down into the valley. Once in the valley, it flows through lush hay meadows and pastureland before reaching its confluence with North Meadow Creek, just west of Ennis Lake.
SOUTHWEST MONTANA ROCKHOUNDING
Rockhounding is more than just a hobby; it is a lifestyle.
There's a reason Montana is known as the Treasure State and that Southwest Montana where our claims are located is especially rich for gold and precious gems.
Even today, you can tap into the euphoria of making a find in Montana.
A century and a half ago, these hills crawled with prospectors lured by rich gold strikes.
Aquamarine, sapphires, garnets, amethyst, smoky quartz, clear quartz scepters, jaspers, topaz, and even diamnonds are also to be found in this part of Montana.
Because of such an availability of gems to be found, there are many Mineral and Gem Clubs throughout the state.
The geology of Montana had a history of volcanic activity which is largely responsible for the wide variety of interesting rocks and minerals to be found here.
MADISON COUNTY
Madison County has some of the worlds best fly-fishing and endless other outdoor activities.
Close enough to Yellowstone National Park to visit, but far enough to be away from the crowds, this county has something for everybody during all seasons
throughout the year.
Amazing mountain views, spectacular trout fishing, and Cowboy Culture are just a few reasons to visit Madison Valley.
During the summer months, there are endless options for outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, biking, and kayaking.
The Big Sky Ski resort is an hour and half SE with all the winter activities.
Nearby Willow Creek Reservoir is a fishing access site that also has camping.
Fishing and boating may be enjoyed on the lake with a boat launch provided.
MADISON VALLEY
The Madison Valley where our claims are located, is an area rooted in farming and ranching with blue ribbon rivers, majestic mountain ranges, abundant wildlife, and small towns with rural values.
Lewis and Clark crossed this scenic valley of majestic mountain ranges and the fabled Madison River in 1805, but not until 1864, shortly after gold was first discovered in the valley, did Madison County become part of Montana Territory.
Today, rural and community values keep ranching as the main way of life in the Madison Valley. Through conservation, the Madison Valley has sustained productive agricultural land, healthy grasslands, and abundant wildlife.
In addition to its old west charm, the Madison Valley has arguably the most superb fly-fishing waters in all the world and the Madison River may be our most glorious. Meriwether Lewis named the river in 1805 after James Madison, who was the US Secretary of State at the time. Starting in Yellowstone National Park, the river is 183 miles of perfectly moving riffles that are teaming with trout.
Ennis is the base camp of the Madison Valley, a colorful town filled with fly anglers and ranchers,
Ennis sits on the banks of the Madison River and is surrounded by 3 mountain ranges.
