Directions to your claim
-
From the I-5, take exit 776 (North Yreka) and go west. At the stop sign, turn right onto N Main St/ HWY 263. Go north for 1.6 miles and turn left onto Hawkinsville Humbug Rd. Drive up the mountain for 2.2 miles, stay left at the fork. 1 mile further you will pass an intersection (45n28) You will continue straight and start going down the mountain. 5.1 miles later you will come down into Humbug Gulch.
There will be a road on the left that you will pass (Yreka Walker rd), and just after you pass it there will be a dirt road onto your claim on the right.
Siskiyou County in Northern California is rich in gold, and the Humbug Creek area was one of the first areas to be mined on a large scale. 150 years ago, there were some massive mining operation in this valley, but time has passed and the land has reverted back to nature again. This is a great area to ride 4x4 vehicles, camp, hunt, and owning this claim would also give you exclusive mining rights. This claim has
About 1500 feet of the historic main fork of Humbug Creek, as well as 200+ feet of the south fork,
and the
confluence of the two
. There is gold mixed into the gravels, so have at it! There are several miles of dirt roads to traverse, but most vehicles can still do it pretty easily; including RVs.
Parking is right off the dirt road. There is a short "driveway" into camp. A couple good sized flat, open areas. Just a couple feet down to the creek from camp. Very easy terrain.
This would be a great claim for someone serious in mining, but also someone who loves camping, off roading, or just enjoying the Forest.
Yreka is only about 30 Mins East of here.
This is "Humbug Hideout," now make yourself an excuse to get out there and enjoy the outdoors.
I also offer a payment plan with 0 or more down. Message if interested.

1) Exclusive placer mineral rights to this gold claim.
2) I will use a quitclaim deed to transfer title and ownership to you within 1 week.

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 current and has been filed with the California BLM.
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.
All paperwork and fees are current through September 1st,  2023.
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.
