Directions to your Claim -
From Redding, drive
approx.
34 miles east on HWY 299, and turn north on Fenders Ferry Rd. Continue for 20.4 miles. The road will turn to dirt, cross the Pit River, and continue up over Goose Pass. Coming down the other side, you will come to a sign saying Bully Hill is to the left and Madrone Campground to the right. Veer right and continue past Madrone Campground. 1.3 miles past the campground, you will see a dirt road veer off to the left across the meadow. Start driving across the meadow, but instead of going to the obvious camp straight ahead with the picnic table, veer right and go to the northen end of the meadow. There is a short driveway down the hill and to a hidden camp near the creek
.
Shasta County is loaded with gold, and this is a nice 19 acre section of it that you would own the exclusive mining rights to.
This is a remote area of the county, accessed by 10-15 miles on a dirt road. Most vehicles could get to the claim, though I would think a Pickup Truck or SUV would be best. Your campsite is hidden from site from the road, and almost no one comes out here, so you will have extreme privacy to camp, hunt fish, and mine the creek.
Very peaceful and quiet area. Pretty flat overall, with lots of potential. Would make a nice hunting camp for sure. Very few people. Creek is pretty big and year round, averages about 12 feet across and a foot deep.
The city of Redding is just under 2 hours away.
There is about 1600 feet of Squaw Creek on the claim. This is "Squaws Madrone 2," now make yourself an excuse to get out there and enjoy the outdoors.

An "Unpatented Mining Claim" means you own the "Mineral Rights" to the land and NOT the land itself. The land itself, is still owned by the Federal Government.
All paperwork is prepared and ready to file with the California BLM. We will be putting it directly into your name. You will have a stamped, active claim registered with BLM shortly after purchase.
You are allowed to prospect the surface material of your claim including panning, sluicing, dry washing, metal detecting, and rock hounding for all precious metals and minerals (not just gold).
As with ALL UNPATENTED MINING CLAIMS on Forest Service land, you must file a "Plan of Operation" for any extensive mining operations beyond casual prospecting with the U.S. Forest Service.
You may not sell "sand and gravel" from your claim, only precious metals and minerals. Check with the Bureau of Land Management if in doubt.
You may not build a personal residence of any kind.
You cannot (at this time)"patent" this, or any unpatented mining claim. Which means, you cannot purchase the land from the Government for residential use. Mining claim "patents" have not been granted since 1992, and will take an act of Congress to do so again.
You may camp on your claim for two weeks if not prospecting, and you may camp virtually as long as you want if you are actively prospecting. Always check with BLM about extended camping related to prospecting.  You can also recreate, hunt, quad, swim, horseback ride and do any activity besides prospect.
Once a placer claim is staked and filed with the proper agencies, it must be maintained on an annual basis. Proof that it is properly maintained must be filed with the appropriate County, and State office of the BLM on or before 12 noon, September 1
st
of each year.
Mining Claims are considered "real property" and as such, can be sold, leased, and transferred to family members.
As long as you complete your paperwork and pay your yearly fees on time, your mining claim CANNOT be taken from you.
The owner of an unpatented mining claim may
either
, pay the annual 5.00 yearly maintenance fee
or
, perform a minimum of  0 worth of annual labor or improvements (EXAMPLE: Road improvement, clearing overgrown vegetation from access road, trash removal, etc....) on each claim by filing a Small Miners Waiver. You may file this waiver if you own 10 claims or less nationwide. (Check with the BLM for that fee amount.)
Currently the yearly maintenance fee for a 20 Acre mining claim to the BLM is 5.
