This lake is a a destination spot for fishing and water sports

Kayaking, house boating, speed boating, and waterskiing are also popular lake activities. Surrounding the lake, visitors enjoy hiking and camping in the pristine wilderness of the Trinity Alps and the Shasta-Trinity National Forest

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.

A mining claim is an affordable way to enjoy the beauty of the land combined with the adventure of panning for gold.

AREA GOLD HISTORY

In the early 1850s, miners from around the world came to Weaverville after the discovery of gold at Sutters Mill in Coloma and the subsequent influx of people into northern California. Perason B. Reading mined the area and news of Radings success drew miners to remote diggings.

In 1850, Sacramento newspapers publicized the diggings and more miners rushed into the area. The publicationSearch for Gold in Weavervilledocuments much of the Weaverville area gold history.

Trinity County is inCalifornia Gold Region 6. This region has a number of National Forests where prospecting, mining and panning is done.

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.

The creek bends are good places for gold being deposited and up the mountain ridges are good places for gems.

Up the claim road is an open area for camping by the creek or use the areas National Forest campgrounds.

The claim is easy to access on a good National Forest road.

The creek runs along the road for also easy access.

A good sign here is the federal govt. has withdrawn land for minerals in the area of our claims, making our claims here even more valuable as there are no more areas on this creek to locate a claim.

Gold prices reached an all time high of $2000 per ounce.

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 and gem mining placer claim, the Little Browns Creek #4, with the Little Browns Creek running thru it and is in Trinity County, California, in the beautiful mountain range known as the Trinity Alps, and in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest.

The claim is legally registered with the Bureau of Land Management out of Sacramento and the Trinity County Recorder.

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 72 and my wife 69, 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, though the BLM is reluctant to approve anything to live in,

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.

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.

A claim owner does not need permission nor a permit to camp and prospect.

You can prospect as little or as much as you choose.

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. 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.

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 or gems to be found to locate a claim other than gold or gems need 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 $1900/ounce. Though we could never guarantee what you will find, we did locate this claim in an historical area for gold and gem prospecting.

Gold prices have gone up $400 in the past 3 years.

We also found some nice crystal specimens up the mountain ridge on the claim.

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.

Have you ever visited a new place and felt wow about it? For many visitors, it happens at Hayfork. Hayfork may not be as popular as other cities in United States, but dont let that fool you. Hayfork is a smaller but beautiful upcoming tourist destination that is worth a visit. You will be surprised by some of the unique things to do and places you can explore at this hidden destination. You can definitely plan a few hours of a side trip here while traveling to Shasta Lake.

South of Weaverville on Highway 3 isthe town of Hayfork in the largest valley in Trinity County, named so because of the vast hay fields that grew along Hayfork Creek that winds through the valley. Today there are still a few large working ranches raising hay and cattle and other crops; and Hayfork is arguably the agricultural capital of the county. The Trinity County Fair is held in Hayfork in August of each year, bringing everyone "home"to catch up with long-time friends and family. Visitors are often in awe of how "old timey"the fair is with the focus on local agriculture, history, art, dried and canned goods, and local talent. Hayfork offers several grocery and convenience stores, coffee shops, and cafe's. Its an inviting little mountain town, home to about 2,500 residents with independent spirits that are also very community minded.

Trinity County has much to offer in outdoor recreation. It doesn't matter if your preference is on land or on water there is plenty of outdoor adventure here and waiting for you.

If you prefer land then the Trinity Alps Wilderness has more than enough to satisfy hikers, campers, bird watchers, nature and other outdoor land recreational enthusiasts. Miles of trails into the mountains provide memorable hiking and horseback riding, while abundant camping facilities provide a place to pitch camp for family outdoor fun.

If you prefer water, then there are the beautiful Trinity, Lewiston, and Ruth lakes, and the Trinity river and many streams provide all the water adventure that you can handle. White water rafting, boating, water sports, and trophy fishing all await you here!

Trinity Lake and Shasta Lake are nearby to enjoy boating, swimming, and fishing.

A transfer of ownership is a sale of legal, exclusive ownership of a mining claim site. To be a legally recorded claim, gold had to be found on the claim, which was completed by me, as I am the original claim locator.

_________________________

Little Browns Creek running through the claim is a unique advantage for gold prospecting.

It is a tributary of the gold rich Trinity River.

Gold always occurs in gravels in the metallic state and when so found has various physical characteristics. Gold is dense and heavy, it has a characteristic metallic color, and it is soft and easily malleable (it is easily formed by hammering). These are the characteristics used by prospectors to identify gold in the field.

Placer gold occurs on the claim as small grains derived from gossan formed by weathering, and oxidation of the gold, copper and iron rich veins. Gold also occurs as grains flakes and small nuggets derived from the erosion of mineralized fault zones on, and upstream from the claim.

We live in Ohio. Our connection to the West is our daughter lives in Denver, though she is not involved with our claims. We visited her in September, then went to prospect and locate mining claims in Colorado, then traveled to do the same in California, as we have been doing for a number of years.

And just a note of encouragement for you if purchase:

My wife and I have located, prospected on, and sold mining claims in

California, Colorado, & Arizona, going on now for now over 25 years.

You can trust we will process your notarized deeds correctly and quickly.

In that mining claims are processed thru the Bureau of Land Management, a

Federal Govt. agency, not following thru per our legally signed contract, would be a federal crime. I certainly will do what I say, and would never put myself nor my wife

in any legal jeopardy.

Also, we have sold properties on 4 sites online for over 25 years:

Landsalelistings, Landwatch, LandsofAmerica, and LandandFarm.

Our continued good status on these sites is due to our always following thru, as just one time we would not, we would not be allowed to sell on these sites ever again.

COMMENTS FROM SATISFIED CLAIM BUYERS:

"We visited and panned on our claim creek in Colorado this past June and had a wonderful time. Were very pleased with the location and the claim itself."

"We have been to our mining claim in California that we purchased from you last year. The area is stunningly beautiful, and we couldn't be happier with our purchase."

"Living in Arizona, the mining claim we purchased from you has added greatly to our family outings. We are finding gold in the wash on our claim most every visit.

Thank you so much!"
