PLUMAS COUNTY
Plumas County is on the far northern extent of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, and includes several very rich gold deposits. This area was being mined not long after the initial discovery of gold in California. Within a few short years, major mining operations were in place.
There are many large hard rock mines throughout Plumas County, but most of the gold production from this area has come from the placers. The Feather River is the major drainage that flows through the county, but there are also some ancient river channels, also called Tertiary gold bearing rivers and creeks that were the primary gold producers.
The Plumas National Forest covers over a million acres of tree covered mountains, filled with hundreds of high alpine lakes and thousands of miles of clear running streams.
Year round, outdoor enthusiasts are attracted to this area's many streams and lakes, beautiful deep canyons, rich mountain valleys, meadows and lofty peaks.
Plumas County is located in the NE corner of California, where the Sierra and the Cascade Mountains meet. Plumas County has more than 100 lakes and 1000 miles of rivers and creeks with over a million acres of national forest land.
Plumas County offers a high quality of life and the natural beauty of the land is why many choose this area for family fun and recreation.
The numerous lakes and mountain creeks create a playground for those who love the outdoors.
With the beauty of the surrounding mountain ranges, this area is a hikers dream.

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.

This is a 20 acre unpatented, gold mining placer claim, the Feather River Gold #1, with the beautiful Feather river running through the claim, and is in Plumas County, California, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Plumas National Forest. The claim is legally registered with the Bureau of Land Management out of Sacramento and Plumas County. You own the mineral rights, not sharing with others, on the 20 acres, and use your 20 acres, recreationally for camping: tent, camper, or RV, and prospecting: an awesome, beautiful area.
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.
On our visits to the claim, we gathered in and around the river, approx. 1/8 of an ounce of gold on the claim, being worth about $225. 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 $3000/ounce. Though we could never guarantee what you will find, we did locate this claim in an historically rich area for gold prospecting.
Gold prices have gone up over $500 an ounce in just this past year.
We also found some nice specimens of crystal quartz on the claim.
You are allowed to post No Trespassing for Prospecting signs in and around the claim.
