If you're looking to float a dredge, run a sluice box and do some gold panning by a secluded mountain stream, or even swing a detector or do some drywashing in an old dry stream bed in the desert, a placer claim is for you.
targus backpack xs Lode - A lode claim asserts a claim to gold trapped in the rock. Lode mining, also called hardrock mining, generally involves drilling, blasting, ore carts, stamp mills and a whole lot of heavy equipment. If you're looking run a serious gold mine with shafts, tunnels, etc, then a lode claim is for you. Next you'll want to pay attention to type of claim offered. Association - Association claims generally require one name per 20 acres of claim, so an 80 acre claim would require 4 people on the claim. Individual - Individual claims are generally 20 acre parcels that a single person can own. Fractional - These strike me as sucker plays, but essentially you're buying a small section of an existing claim and trusting the owners to keep up the filing fees, etc.
Maybe they're a good deal, maybe not. Prospect the specific chunk you'd be buying before you buy and make sure you've got a solid contract. Lastly is the question of patented or unpatented. Patented - You may notice that patented mining claims sell for much more than unpatented. The reason is simple; with a patented claim you own the land as well as the mineral rights. It's real estate and it's yours. The federal government put a moretorium on patenting, so they don't come up often, especially not placer claims. Unpatented - Unpatented mining claims are the most common for sale. With an unpatented claim you own the mineral rights, but not the land. Campers, hikers, fisherman, hunters, etc can all use the land just like you, but you're the only one allowed to mine it. In a perfect world, you buy the claim and take it over no problems, pay your fees each year and own the mineral rights of the property. Do your due dilligence though. The government does nothing to prevent an unscrupulous seller from filing a claim on barren dirt, or over the top of an already existing claim.
To avoid the first, do some prospecting on the claim before you sign a check. Ask the seller for permission to spend a weekend prospecting on the claim - by yourself. Dig where you want to dig without influence from the seller. Then, if you don't find any gold, either there isn't any or you're premature in wanting to own a claim. To avoid the second, visit county records and do some research. Do not buy a claim over a previously filed and valid claim as the only way to sort it out would be through the courts and the owner of the older claim wins... That's not to say you can't still buy perfectly valid unpatented claims with current fees and real gold. Just do your homework before you buy. For Sale Listings - Mining Claims For Sale has some great claims for sale, and Art is a good guy. The Claims Post often has claims for sale, but the prices can be steep. You might also check Craigslist, real estate sites, Goldbay and other sources, but here's where ebay actually shines.

Lately California gold has become an endangered species. The last producers in the Mother Lode are down to less than a handful, but it looks like the industry is ready to resume. Gold was always known in the mountains of California, even before James Marshall famously spotted nuggets in his new millrace near Coloma on 24 January 1848. But Marshall’s find sparked the first serious flush of gold production as thousands of men waded into the Sierra Nevada rivers, sifting the gravel with their pans and sluices. They’ve been there ever since, ranging from weekend panners to elaborate syndicates. It was the syndicates that ruined things for everyone else with their notorious hydraulic methods. Before the courts shut down the industry in 1884, operations progressed from the gravel terraces of the Central Valley into the mountains, where hydraulickers stripped large swaths of land of their woods and soils and sent the waste sediment downstream to smother the farmlands of the Central Valley.
Hydraulic mining was banned from discharging waste into the Sacramento River. That left two ways to keep doing it. One was to strip other rivers instead, most notably the Trinity River, where the practice lasted into the mid-1900s. The other was to dredge Central Valley gravels without affecting the river. The huge gravel beds laid down in the Valley by the Yuba and Feather rivers, where the first gold dredger set to work in 1850, nurtured a long-lasting industry based on floating dredges. The last of these, Yuba Gold Dredge No. 17, is still at work there today. By digging up one side of a pond and depositing the waste on the other, the great dredge slowly travels across the gravel fields east of Yuba City collecting enough powder-fine gold to pay for itself. The sand and gravel can be quarried again and sold later as aggregate. The hard-rock mines of the Sierra Nevada, hundreds of them, produced the majority of California’s gold and populated the region with strong communities.
Without them the Mother Lode country would be a thinly peopled land of loggers like the northern Coast Range. The death blow to this industry was a federal wartime order in 1942 that halted all work. For the next five years the shafts filled with groundwater and the workers dispersed, making it uneconomical to reopen any but the richest deposits. Over the next decades the slow decline in the value of gold squeezed out what mines could be revived, and then the regulatory climate shifted to give nature a little more say. Today, Carson Hill Rock Products, south of Angels Camp, still digs the fabulous ground that yielded the 195-pound Calaveras Nugget in 1854. But its main business is the green-veined decorative rock called mariposite. I am told that the operators keep their eye out for gold as they go, but produce it from the richest pockets only as a byproduct and thus avoid many of the regulations imposed on a gold mine. The steady—apparently permanent—high price of gold today is driving a few long-standing efforts to reopen large-scale gold mining in the Sierra.
Foremost of these is the Lincoln Mine project, in Amador County between Jackson and Plymouth, where the Sutter Gold Mining company has methodically gotten all its permits in order and anticipates starting to produce ore for real this spring. But one little mine, started in 1896, still runs as an artisan operation: the Original Sixteen to One Mine, up in Sierra County in the hamlet of Alleghany. Its business model today is based solely on specimen gold, doing its work by hand and making no toxic waste. If you ever run across decorative California gold like this, with visible metal in creamy quartz, you’re surely looking at the mine’s output. Occasionally the miners hit a jackpot, like this specimen called “The Whopper,” that can pay for more than a year’s expenses all by itself. The Original Sixteen to One Mine will let you spend a day in the mine with the miners for $400, lunch included. There’s no word on the website on whether you can keep what you find, but other rewards in Alleghany include Casey’s Place and, if you make an appointment, the Underground Gold Miners Museum.
