I am a retired teacher, and got into prospecting as a hobby with my family.

I am 68 and my wife 65, and we have gained the experience to select the best areas to locate claims.

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

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.

The Illinois River is a tributary of the further north Michigan River. The Michigan River is all claimed up, and with gold always traveling downstream, the Illinois River has excellent gold panning potential, as we discovered in our own prospecting, and along with the beauty of the area, makes for an awesome area to camp and prospect,

Owning a mining claim is having access to a lifetime of great family fun and recreation, in a very beautiful, natural setting.

This county is known as the Moose Viewing Capital of Colorado, and we had a moose sighting while we were there.

This is a 80 acre unpatented, gold mining placer claim, the Illinois River Gold #3 and #4, with the beautiful Illinois River running thru each claim, in the Rocky Mountains, and the Routt National Forest. The claims are legally registered with the Bureau of Land Management out of Lakewood, CO and Jackson County. You own the mineral rights, not sharing with others, on the 80 acres, and use your 80 acres recreationally for camping and prospecting in an awesome, beautiful area.

Great secluded valley, with flatter claim areas for camping. Easy walk to the Illinois River, not too far from the Rocky Mountain National Park, and less than an hour from the Wyoming border.

With an approved BLM Plan of Operation, a building can be built on the land: any building that benefits and improves the claim, though you cannot live on a mining claim.

As stated by the BLM, this can be the "construction of a building, road, fence, or enclosure necessary for mining."

Current usage, is what the BLM calls, Casual Use: panning, shovel, rock hammer, metal detector, creek powered sluice box, where no permission nor permit is needed to camp and prospect.

When we located the claim on one weekend, we gathered in and around the river, approx. 1/4 of an ounce of gold on each claim, being worth about $300 on each. 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 40 acre claim as a projection of good gold potential. Someone with more time may find more. Gold prices are over $1200/ounce. Though we could never guarantee what you will find, we did locate this claim in an historically rich area for gold prospecting. Gold in just this past year has gone up over $100 per ounce.

You are allowed to post No Trespassing for Prospecting signs in and around the claims.

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.

Welcome to North Park - Jackson County, Colorado!

Raw, remote, tucked deep in Colorados rugged Rockies, the high valley of North Park and its County of Jackson literally scream frontier and a past fast-held in present days. Holding true to rough and rugged times when native hunters, trappers, prospectors, and early ranchers survived off its lands and forged its history, North Park is the real West, where travelers can embrace what once was, while happily escaping what now is.

With over a million acres covering more than 1600 square miles; 65% public land; lakes, rivers and reservoirs that attract and support unique and abundant wildlife; and access to five of Colorados most rugged and pristine wilderness areas North Park lies at the center of a minimally used and amazingly untapped recreation universe.

Light on links to the world-wide web, with mall shopping, bright lights and traffic jams at least 65 paved-miles away, it is removed from civilization, but easily accessed by civilized folk in search of solitude. Raw, Rough, Real make your getaway to North Park this year. Unplug to plug in disconnect from your life and reconnect with your soul.

As heavy mist rises from the lush, valley floor of Colorados North Park, a flaming Western sun gently layers the 360 horizon with pinks, reds, purples, and shimmering golds. As a large bull moose appears, disappears, and reappears along one of many river paths, a playful otter splashes ducks intent on finding breakfast in a nearby beaver pond.

And, as passing moments become priceless memories, the raw nature of North Park and Jackson County awakens the frontiersman in us all and leaves us wanting more.

North Park is truly a land of wonders, where your mind can rest, while your spirit soars.

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.

The river on the claims is a unique advantage for gold prospecting.

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.

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!"

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 10 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 10 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.
