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.

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.
