Click on the top picture then arrow right to see all. 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 soe of the safest places for your family to enjoy and get away from all the nonsense. 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. 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. A vein of quartz/gold runs thru the claim from South to North. We also found the gems, Rose Quartz, the state mineral, Feldspar, and Blue-Green Tourmaline. 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. Amounts of float (loose sliding rocks) are on the claim. In lode mining claim prospecting, float refers to loose fragments of rock, ore, or mineral-bearing material that have broken off from a larger, solid bedrock deposit (or "lode") and have been transported downhill. Finding float is a key first-step clue in prospecting because it indicates that a potentially richer vein of ore exists somewhere uphill from where the fragment was found. 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. Our claim is a great area for gold and gem prospecting. There are many well known South Dakota attractions within driving distance of this beautiful Black Hills area. Pine forest is on part of the claim. Beautiful Sylvan Lake 24 miles NE has many water activities.

BLACK HILLS GOLD RUSH After Horatio Ross discovered gold along a creek in the Black Hills in the 1870s, one of the last great gold rushes descended into this area of South Dakota. The Black Hills Gold Rush took place in Dakota Territory in the United States. It began in 1874 following the Custer Expedition and reached a peak in 187677. The first arrivals were a force of 1,000 men led by George Armstrong Custer to investigate reports that the area contained gold, even though the land was owned by the Sioux. This would begin Custers conflicts with Native American Tribes. In the ensuing decades, people have continued to find pockets of gold in the Black Hills. The largest and deepest mine in the Western Hemisphere, Homestake Mine netted some 41 million ounces of gold in its 126 years of operation.

Recreation On the property, the mix of open meadow and timbered canyon supports big game hunting and wildlife viewing. According to the seller, the habitat supports elk, deer, mountain lion, antelope, and wild turkey, which use the cover and water across the ranch. The combination of forage, winter protection, and reliable water concentrates game and makes the ranch well suited to a private hunting and recreation program alongside its agricultural use. Wind Cave National Park protects two distinct worlds that couldn't be more different yet are forever connected: a vibrant mixed-grass prairie ecosystem stretching across rolling hills above, and one of theworld's most complex cave systems hidden beneath your feet. Established in 1903 by President Theodore Roosevelt, Wind Cave became America's eighth national park and the first created specifically to protect a cave. Spanning 33,851 acres of pristine Black Hills landscape, this remarkable park offers visitors a chance to experience the natural wonders of South Dakota from multiple perspectives. Above ground, one of the largest remaining natural mixed-grass prairies in the United States provides habitat for iconic American wildlife including bison, elk, pronghorn, and prairie dogs. Below ground, more than 150 miles of mapped passages (with new sections discovered yearly) create a three-dimensional maze adorned with rare formations found nowhere else on Earth in such abundance. Agriculture The open benches and meadow ground across the ranch support hay production and seasonal grazing in the rotation established under the current ownership. The combination of improved pasture, winter protection, and water makes the property adaptable to small-scale cattle, horse, or mixed livestock operations without the capital outlay required to develop agricultural infrastructure from a bare land purchase. Perimeter and division fencing, a corral system, and stock water from wells, springs, and ponds are already in place. The property's agricultural utility is complementary to its recreational program. A buyer can run a modest cattle or horse operation alongside active hunting. The ranch is not presently leased or being grazed by the seller allowing the new owner to fully utilize the ranch..
