Rockhounding is the recreational collecting of rocks and/or mineral specimens from their natural environment. Recreational gold panning is a popular type of rockhounding in California.

You own the mineral rights, not sharing with others, on the 20 acres, and use your 20 acres, recreationally for camping: tent, camper, or RV, and prospecting: an awesome, beautiful area.
When we located the claim over one weekend, we gathered in and around the creek, approx. 1/8 of an ounce of gold, being worth about $250. As the BLM does not specify the amount of gold to be found to locate a claim other than a valuable mineral needs to be discovered, we use this amount for a 20 acre claim as a projection of good gold potential. Someone with more time may find more. Gold prices are over $4000/ounce. Gold has gone up over $500 per ounce in just this past year. Though we could never guarantee what you will find, we did locate this claim in an historically rich area for gold prospecting.

This is a 20 acre unpatented, gold and gem mining placer claim, the Hayfork Creek #5, with Hayfork Creek running thru it and is in Trinity County, California, in the beautiful mountain range known as the Trinity Alps, and in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The claim is legally registered with the Bureau of Land Management out of Sacramento and the Trinity County Recorder.
You own the mineral rights, not sharing with others, on the 20 acres, and use your 20 acres recreationally for camping and prospecting in an awesome, beautiful area.
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 California Gold Rush.
I am a retired teacher, and got into prospecting as a hobby with my family.
I am 74 and my wife 72, and we have gained the experience to select the best areas to locate claims.
For any building like a shed, you need to file a Plan of Operation with the BLM for approval. For anything to live in, you would need to file a Plan of Operation with the BLM for approval, and to be considered, you would need to have developed a full-time mining operation.
For the possibility of constructing any building you or others could live in, you need to file a Plan of Operation with the BLM for approval, showing you have developed a full-time operation performing diligent mining.
You do not need a plan, permission nor a permit to camp and prospect.
You do not need to be a full time prospector to file a Plan for a shed type structure.
With an approved BLM Plan of Operation, a building can be built on the land: any building that benefits and improves the claim.
As stated by the BLM, this can be the "construction of a building, road, fence, or enclosure necessary for mining."
Current usage, is what the BLM calls, Casual Use: panning, shovel, rock hammer, metal detector, and creek powered sluice box.
You do not need a plan, permission nor a permit to camp and prospect.
You do not need to be a full time prospector to file a Plan for a shed type structure.
Now that we have located the claim, you never have to declare to the BLM any gold or gems you find. You can prospect as little or as much as you choose.
A mining claim is an affordable way to enjoy the beauty of the land combined with the adventure of panning for gold.
If within one year you are not satisfied with your claim, you can trade for another comparable claim, just paying the BLM and County transfer fees which will be about $125.
Claim buyer will also receive a new, free, Gold Panning Kit:
One 14 inch Gold Trap pan; One 10.5 inch Gravity Trap pan, One combination sifter/classifier with 7/16 of an inch exit holes, One Gold Guzzler snuffer bottle, One Tweezers/ Magnifying Glass combo tool.
Mining Claims as an investment: if you purchase a claim from us, at no charge, I would help you if you ever decided to sell in the future.
Mining Claims are a great investment, as claims go up in value over time, just as land does. This is one of the areas of the original California Gold Rush.
Owning a mining claim is having access to a lifetime of great family fun and recreation, in a very beautiful, natural setting.
On our visits to the claim, we gathered in and around the creek, approx. 1/8 of an ounce of gold, being worth about $250. As the BLM does not specify the amount of gold or gems to be found to locate a claim other than gold or gems need to be discovered, we use this amount for a 20 acre claim as a projection of good gold potential. Someone with more time may find more.
Gold prices were over $4000ounce. Though we could never guarantee what you will find, we did locate this claim in an historical area for gold and gem prospecting.
Gold prices have gone up over $500 per ounce in just this past year.
We also found some nice crystal specimens up the mountain ridge on the claim.
You are allowed to post No Trespassing for Prospecting signs around the claim.
A mining claim owner may limit or restrict public recreational use of/or public access across claims or portions of claims that are actively used for prospecting, mining, or processing operations where public recreational use of a claim would endanger or materially interfere with legitimate mining pursuits.

Have you ever visited a new place and felt wow about it? For many visitors, it happens at Hayfork. Hayfork may not be as popular as other cities in United States, but dont let that fool you. Hayfork is a smaller but beautiful upcoming tourist destination that is worth a visit. You will be surprised by some of the unique things to do and places you can explore at this hidden destination. You can definitely plan a few hours of a side trip here while traveling to Shasta Lake.
South of Weaverville on Highway 3 is the town of Hayfork in the largest valley in Trinity County, named so because of the vast hay fields that grew along Hayfork Creek that winds through the valley. Today there are still a few large working ranches raising hay and cattle and other crops; and Hayfork is arguably the agricultural capital of the county. The Trinity County Fair is held in Hayfork in August of each year, bringing everyone "home" to catch up with long-time friends and family. Visitors are often in awe of how "old timey" the fair is with the focus on local agriculture, history, art, dried and canned goods, and local talent. Hayfork offers several grocery and convenience stores, coffee shops, and cafe's. Its an inviting little mountain town, home
