The TV show, American Gold: The Legend of Bear Gulch, on the Fox Business Channel, takes place in these same mountains. The TV series, Yellowstone with Kevin Costner, was filmed just West of this area. The movie, The River Runs Thru it, with Brad Pitt, was filmed not too far away.

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. 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 mine shaft if you choose that is not allowed on placer claims. A quartz/gold vein was discovered on the claim extending thru the claim. 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 South to North thru the middle of the claim. On the claim I found a quartz vein with gold traces in the rock. Pick and shovel, rock hammer and chisel, 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. The claim is located in the Tobacco Root Mountains having a history of gold production. It is a good sign that there are other claims in this area being worked by experienced prospectors for years.

MADISON COUNTY: Down in Southwest Montana, sharing a tiny portion of its southern border with Idaho is Madison County. This mountainous part of Montana is wedged between Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks, and its residents maintain their local traditions that are inspired by the natural landscape, like fishing, ranching, and all things outdoors. The county seat is Virginia City, an interesting place split between the historic and the contemporary. Half of the town contains a vibrant, current-day population, while the other half is an abandoned mining town, preserved as a slice of history and a window into the lives of settlers from the mid-1800s. While Virginia City is probably the countys largest touristic draw, the nearby town of Ennis is a delightful stop for passers-through, and is host to many annual events. Though it doesnt immediately border Yellowstone National Park, Madison County, and more specifically Ennis, can make a great base from which to explore the park. SOUTHWEST MONTANA ROCKHOUNDING Rockhounding is more than just a hobby; it is a lifestyle. There's a reason Montana is known as the Treasure State and that Southwest Montana where our claims are located is especially rich for gold and precious gems. Even today, you can tap into the euphoria of making a find in Montana. A century and a half ago, these hills crawled with prospectors lured by rich gold strikes. Aquamarine, sapphires, garnets, amethyst, smoky quartz, clear quartz scepters, jaspers, topaz, and even diamnonds are also to be found in this part of Montana. Because of such an availability of gems to be found, there are many Mineral and Gem Clubs throughout the state. The geology of Montana had a history of volcanic activity which is largely responsible for the wide variety of interesting rocks and minerals to be found here. MADISON COUNTY Madison County has some of the worlds best fly-fishing and endless other outdoor activities. Close enough to Yellowstone National Park to visit, but far enough to be away from the crowds, this county has something for everybody during all seasons throughout the year. Amazing mountain views, spectacular trout fishing, and Cowboy Culture are just a few reasons to visit Madison Valley. During the summer months, there are endless options for outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, biking, and kayaking. The Big Sky Ski resort is an hour and half SE with all the winter activities. Nearby Willow Creek Reservoir is a fishing access site that also has camping. Fishing and boating may be enjoyed on the lake with a boat launch provided. MADISON VALLEY The Madison Valley where our claims are located, is an area rooted in farming and ranching with blue ribbon rivers, majestic mountain ranges, abundant wildlife, and small towns with rural values. Lewis and Clark crossed this scenic valley of majestic mountain ranges and the fabled Madison River in 1805, but not until 1864, shortly after gold was first discovered in the valley, did Madison County become part of Montana Territory. Today, rural and community values keep ranching as the main way of life in the Madison Valley. Through conservation, the Madison Valley has sustained productive agricultural land, healthy grasslands, and abundant wildlife. In addition to its old west charm, the Madison Valley has arguably the most superb fly-fishing waters in all the world and the Madison River may be our most glorious. Meriwether Lewis named the river in 1805 after James Madison, who was the US Secretary of State at the time. Starting in Yellowstone National Park, the river is 183 miles of perfectly moving riffles that are teaming with trout. Ennis is the base camp of the Madison Valley, a colorful town filled with fly anglers and ranchers, Ennis sits on the banks of the Madison River and is surrounded by 3 mountain ranges. I am a retired teacher, and got into prospecting as a hobby with my family. I am 74 and my wife 71, and we have gained the experience to select the best areas to locate claims. We feel we are selling more than the gold and minerals on beautiful land. 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. TOBACCO ROOT MOUNTAINS The Tobacco Root Mountains lie in the northern Rocky Mountains, between the Jefferson and Madison Rivers in southwest Montana. The highest peak is Hollowtop at 10,604 feet (3,232 m). The range contains 43 peaks rising to elevations greater than 10,000 feet (3048 m). Much of the central part of the range is within the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. The range saw significant gold mining, especially during the 1880s to 1930s.
