NEAR LAS VEGAS LODE GOLD VEIN MINING CLAIM OWNERSHIP OWNER FINANCING This is a legally registered unpatented 20.66 acre lode, gold and gem mining claim for sale, the Vegas Lode #1. Unique to this claim is having the areas largest wash running thru it, the Eagle Wash, which becomes a seasonal creek when summer rains bring down gold from the mountain ridges into the wash. Very rare to have a lode claim with such a large wash running thru it. A quartz gold vein also runs thru the claim and with this and the wash, there is very good potential for gold prospecting. Located in an area of historic gold mines, 28 miles south of Boulder City, where is the Hoover Dam, and just 46 miles from Las Vegas. Up the mountain ridges on the claim are good places for gems. Camp on the claim in flatter areas just off the road, or area National Forest campgrounds.

ThIs old mining district was explored and mined for precious metals and turquoise in the early 1900s, and exploration has been done in modern times for gold. 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 that cannot be done on a placer claim. This 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. A vein of quartz/gold runs thru the claim from West to East. 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. This claim is in a very mineralized area, and is great for rock hounds, metal detecting, relic hunting, and dry-washing. Many historical gold rich producing mines were in this area, Canyon mountain views and great views of the surrounding mountains and rock formations. We found some nice specimens of Black Fire Opal (the Nevada State gem), agates, and turquoise. Arrowheads and relics are often found in this area dating back to the Paiute Nation. Nice location an hour South of Las Vegas, though you will be away from everything on the claim. Only 34 miles SW of Lake Mead in Nevada/Arizona, with all the lake activities. 3 1/2 hours North of Joshua Tree National Park, making for a great day trip. Planned tours also go to Grand Canyon National Park 3 hours away. A mining claim is an affordable way to enjoy the beauty of the land combined with the adventure of panning for gold. We feel we are selling more than the gold and gems on beautiful land.

Owning a mining claim is having access to a lifetime of great family fun and recreation, in a very beautiful, natural setting. Nevada, is a great, scenic state, where the spirit of the Old West still lives on. 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. NEVADA ROCKHOUNDING Nevada is an actual rockhounding paradise. The reason is Nevada was once totally under water, back when giant marine reptiles swam freely in a gigantic, shallow sea in an area that would later become Nevadas Great Basin. Majorgeological activity happened, making way for massive deposits of silver, gold, opalized wood, onyx, agate, geodes, jasper, turquoise, and a whole lotta fossils. It helped make Nevada the lucrative mining area it is today. In Nevada, spending the day searching for little bits of natural history can be the perfect way to connect with the great outdoors. You will have the thrill of cracking open a slab of shale to reveal a trilobite fossil or unearthing a gorgeous nugget of turquoise. Once you find your first gemstone, youll wonder why you didnt start rockhounding earlier. GOLD HISTORY The mining districts of Clark County are scattered through the many north-trending mountain ranges characteristic of this part of the State. Although there is some indication of early small-scale mining by Indians and Spanish explorers, it was not until 1855, when the Mormon settlers began operating the Potosi mine in the Goodsprings district, that large-scale lode mining began. The Potosi is the oldest lode mine in the State. Gold-silver deposits were discovered in the Eldorado district in 1857, and some time later, in the Goodsprings and Searchlight districts.

TOWN OF SEARCHLIGHT A mining town that grew up around a rich gold strike in 1897, Searchlight succeeded Pioche as the principal city of southern Nevada when production began in earnest in 1902. These days Searchlight is basking in a new prosperity based on its location on the ever busier US 95 traffic corridor between Las Vegas and Laughlin. The origin of the towns unusual name is explained in an exhibit at the small museum a short distance east on the Cottonwood Cove road. It says the Mining District (and therefore the town that grew up there) was named for a brand of wooden matches. The display includes a piece of the wooden box they came in. Its big enough to serve as a small writing-desk (the original laptop!) and its easy to picture a group of elated miners searching their excited minds for a name to give their discovery. It's not hard to find exciting things to see and do in Searchlight. An abundance of tours are available to explore the area including trips to an old Gold Mine, and trips to Joshua Tree and Grand Canyon National Parks.
