We feel we are selling more than the gold and minerals 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. A mining claim is an affordable way to enjoy the beauty of the land combined with the adventure of panning for gold. Owning a mining claim is having access to a lifetime of great family fun and recreation, in a very beautiful, natural setting. 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. 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. This area known as South Park is an all season area for outdoor activities in a valley surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. Is about 45 minutes east of the town of Fairplay. Is about an hour East of the cool resort town of Breckenridge. Park County is where the show Gold Rush filmed for a season. This claim has and extended quartz/gold vein running thru the claim where you use a rock hammer, chisels, and shovel to get to the gold. Beautifully forested area of pines and aspens. Nearby Jefferson Creek and Jefferson Lake are known for excellent fishing. Beautiful Jefferson Lake has a boat ramp for boating, and the lake is known for excellent fishing. This claim lies within Colorados historically rich, mineral belt. 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. The largest nugget unearthed from this area and possibly all of Colorado, was discovered just north of our claim. It weighs an exceptional 9.3 pounds and is referred to as Toms Baby. This Nugget is the centerpiece of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science Mineral Collection, and can still be viewed and enjoyed today at the museum. 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. This claim is less than an hour from where the TV show Gold Rush was filmed on location at the Todd Hoffman mining claim near Fairplay. Park County has miles of ATV and snowmobile trails to add to your mining claim experience.
