Deciding to purchase your own gold mining claim is a big decision. It is not a decision that should be rushed into, and it is not a decision that should be made on the fly. Owning a gold mining claim is more than just having your own personal place to recover gold. Ownership represents a real asset, a solid investment, and a source of exciting and adventurous recreational activities for decades to come for whoever you decide to share it with. It is real property, very real in the sense of the value of these mineral rights decades from now when your family continues to enjoy it long after you are gone.

This is a very special experience, and we tend to make it very personal. Any potential buyer has the opportunity to visit the properties they are interested in. If our schedule permits, we also travel to the regions and provide interested parties with a tour of the properties. Seeing photos and reading descriptions online is one thing, but you'll be able to make a better decision if you see the property in person. Photo (left): David with Greg and Shelly Smith. They traveled to the region all the way from Virginia unpatented mining claims on the Little North Fork River in Siskiyou County, California.

All of our properties are located in historically rich and proven gold bearing regions in the United States. We encourage interested buyers to bring their pan and their shovel to do a little testing. Besides testing, we do not allow any kind of serious recovery operation to be conducted until the property has been paid for.

We take great pride in our properties and are in no hurry to sell them unless they represent the perfect fit for the buyer. With that said, we firmly believe that you don't pick the property, the property picks you! Photo (left): Jack Wyatt pointing to the top of a 200' tall tree. This tree made us feel very humble! Photo (right): Observing periods of high water usually help identify additional low pressure areas that are known to accumulate gold. |

These northern regions experience a dramatic annual "thaw". Each spring, the streams, creeks, and rivers swell to massive levels as the snow-capped mountains begin to shed their frozen contents. This is very important to remember because this annual and force of nature deposits gold high above the lower summertime water channels. You are sure to increase your gold recovery (as well as your understanding of your mining claim if you take the time to witness this feat of nature.

| All of our claims are clearly marked. We prefer use the standard orange and black Federal Mining Claim signs as they are easy to see and are recognized as the industry standard. We also prefer to post these signs on large trees or on 4" x 4" white posts so they are easy to see. In many cases, our signs are on the other side of the creek or river simply to preserve them from easy vandalism. Be sure to check your signs annually and replace worn or missing signs! Try not to over-mark your mining claim. Visitors to these gorgeous regions travel long distances for this scenery. They don't want to see 20 orange signs plastered all along a picture- perfect creek or river! Just ensure your claim is marked in plain view in a few places so others know that there is a mining claim in the immediate area. |
