Click on the top picture then arrow right to see all. A mining claim is an affordable way to enjoy the beauty of the land combined with the adventure of panning for gold and using your rock hammer for gens up the mountain ridges on the claim. Owning a mining claim is having access to a lifetime of great family fun and recreation, in a very beautiful, natural setting. We feel we are selling more than the gold and gems 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 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.
