A lode claim differs from our placer claims, as on a lode claim you can dig into the mountain side and can even go to the extent of building a mine shaft.
Having a lode claim is an advantage as you can dig into the claim with a shaft if you choose,
and with the creek also on the claim, you can also prospect in the creek for gold, increasing your prospecting potential and the rest of the 20 acres you can also prospect for gems.
Our lode claim has veins of valuable minerals including gold in veins (called lodes) cutting thru rocks. Quartz and gold are frequently found together and digging into the quartz vein is called chasing the vein.
Veins of quartz, smoky quartz, and fluorite are on the claim.
On the claim I found a quartz vein with gold traces in the rock.
Pick and shovel, rock hammer, metal detector, and is hard rock mining.
I did not expose the whole vein, though was able to follow it going through the claim, intermittently.
The process of lode, hard rock mining, is the process where gold is extracted directly from the lode vein beneath the ground. Dig down about 3 feet as go through the claim, then pick, shovel, and rock hammer working the sides of that hole. Filling in the holes when leave the claim as required by the national forest.
For the use of any machinery, you need to file a Plan of Operation with the BLM for approval.
Scratch your rock ore against an unglazed white ceramic streak plate.
If it's gold, it will leave a golden streak. Or scratch the surface of the specimen with a knife. Gold is a soft metal that will show scratch marks.
Camping spots are on the claim.
There are some nice bends in the creek making for excellent gold catching areas.
Located in a beautiful forest of pines and aspens.
This area known as the Fraser River Valley is surrounded by mountains including Ptarmigan Peak, that allows for winter snowfall mountain runoff to bring down minerals to Keyser Creek on each annual winter thaw.

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.
Rockhounding in Colorado

There is a vein of a valuable minerals running thru the whole claim, in this case, quartz, gold, smoky quartz and fluorite.
You can also prospect on the whole claim, including the claim ridges for gems outside the lode mineral vein.
A lode claim has the most potential for finding valuable minerals.
A lode claim differs from our placer claims, as on a lode claim you can dig into the mountain side and can even go to the extent of building a mine shaft.
Having a lode claim is an advantage as you can dig into the claim with a shaft if you choose,
and the nearby creek has some good trout fishing.
Our lode claim has veins of valuable minerals including gold in veins (called lodes) cutting thru rocks.
Quartz and gold are frequently found together and digging into the quartz vein is called chasing the vein.
Veins of quartz, smoky quartz, and fluorite are on the claim.
According to geologists, lode gold deposits are present in many of this areas mountain sides.
The area once prospected by early settlers, these mountains are still considered to contain lode gold.
On the claim I found a quartz vein with gold traces in the rock.
Pick and shovel, rock hammer, metal detector, and is hard rock mining.
I did not expose the whole vein, though was able to follow it going through the claim, intermittently.
The process of lode, hard rock mining, is the process where gold is extracted directly from the lode vein beneath the ground. Dig down about 3 feet as go through the claim, then pick, shovel, and rock hammer working the sides of that hole. Filling in the holes when leave the claim as required by the national forest.
For the use of any machinery, you need to file a Plan of Operation with the BLM for approval.
Scratch your rock ore against an unglazed white ceramic streak plate.
If it's gold, it will leave a golden streak. Or scratch the surface of the specimen with a knife. Gold is a soft metal that will show scratch marks.
There are open meadow areas for camping with tent or RV are by the creek.
Also a good area for gem prospecting up the mountain ridges off of the gold vein.

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 Colorado Gold Rush.
There is a vein of a valuable minerals running thru the whole claim, in this case, quartz, gold, smoky quartz and fluorite.
You can also prospect on the whole claim, including the claim ridges for gems outside the lode mineral vein.
A lode claim has the most potential for finding valuable minerals.
A lode claim differs from our placer claims, as on a lode claim you can dig into the mountain side and can even go to the extent of building a mine shaft.
Having a lode claim is an advantage as you can dig into the claim with a shaft if you choose,
and the nearby creek has some good trout fishing.
Our lode claim has veins of valuable minerals including gold in veins (called lodes) cutting thru rocks.
Quartz and gold are frequently found together and digging into the quartz vein is called chasing the vein.
Veins of quartz, smoky quartz, and fluorite are on the claim.
According to geologists, lode gold deposits are present in many of this areas mountain sides.
The area once prospected by early settlers, these mountains are still considered to contain lode gold.
On the claim I found a quartz vein with gold traces in the rock.
Pick and shovel, rock hammer, metal detector, and is hard rock mining.
I did not expose the whole vein, though was able to follow it going through the claim, intermittently.
The process of lode, hard rock mining, is the process where gold is extracted directly from the lode vein beneath the ground. Dig down about 3 feet as go through the claim, then pick, shovel, and rock hammer working the sides of that hole. Filling in the holes when leave the claim as required by the national forest.
For the use of any machinery, you need to file a Plan of Operation with the BLM for approval.
Scratch your rock ore against an unglazed white ceramic streak plate.
If it's gold, it will leave a golden streak. Or scratch the surface of the specimen with a knife. Gold is a soft metal that will show scratch marks.
There are open meadow areas for camping with tent or RV are by the creek.
Also a good area for gem prospecting up the mountain ridges off of the gold vein.
Located in a beautiful forest of pines and aspens.
Grand County has a number of beautiful lakes, see listing pictures.
The claim is just 15 miles to beautiful Williams Fork Reservoir, 26 miles to Lake Granby, 40 miles to Winter Park Ski Resort, and about 45 miles to Rocky Mountain National Park.
Beaver Creek is a tributary of the Colorado River that flows thru the nearby town of Hot Sulphur Springs.
The claim is located near two state wildlife areas, with great opportunities for wildlife viewing.
Rockhounding in Colorado
Starting with the rich gold and silver deposits which were the starting point of so many Colorado towns, the Centennial State, with over 770 types of minerals to be found, is second only to California in the number of different gems and minerals statewide.
Colorado is also host to a dizzying array of rocks and minerals. Some of the higher profile include dinosaur fossils.
Colorado can certainly be considered a rockhound and gem hunters dream.
The vast mountains of national forests gives one a newfound sense of exploration and discovery.
Besides gold, this area is also known for having precious and semi-precious gemstones, including the state named gemstone aquamarine, and gems such as fluorite, turquoise, crystals, opals, topaz, amethyst, and smoky quartz.
Less than an hour northeast is the Grand Lake area known as the snowmobiling capital of Colorado, and our claims here all have such access during the Winter.
See the Snowmobile Trail Map further down the listing pictures.
Another good sign for our claims here are the other experienced prospectors who have claims throughout Grand County as most of the county is now all claimed up.

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.

The claim is legally registered with the Bureau of Land Management out of Lakewood, CO and the Grand County Recorder.

On our visits to the claim, we gathered in the mineral vein, approx. 1/4 of an ounce of gold, being worth about $450. 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 20.66 acre lode claim as a
