Directions to your claim

– From Weed, take I-5 North to Exit 751 (Edgewood Rd) Turn left and go under the highway, then a right (north) on Old Stage Rd / HWY 99. Follow it for 7.3 miles to Gazelle and turn left onto Gazelle Callahan Rd. Follow it for 11.4 miles, up over the pass and then take a left onto County Road. This is a dirt road but its a pretty good one. Follow it 3.7 miles to South Mountain House Creek and the Claim. At mile 1.0 you will continue straight past the arrow. At Mile 2.7 you will cross the North Branch of Mountain House Creek. At mile 3.7, there is a short driveway on the right that will take you down to the campsite, then switches back down further to the beautiful creek.

Shasta County in Northern California is rich in gold, and this area has been a great producing area for years. Enjoy the creek, camping, hiking, hunting, off wheeling and the great outdoors on your own claim. By owning this claim you would also have exclusive mining rights. This claim has about 600 feet of the Beautiful Castle Creek on it. You can pan for the gold mixed into the gravels as well as any older valuable minerals you can find. This claim is tucked away in a beautiful section of the forest near Castle Crags State park, not far from Mt Shasta or Redding. You could walk to the state park, or to the Pacific Crest Trail. Access is really easy with a paved road most of the way to the claim, then less than 1 mile on a good dirt road. Its a little bumpy but most vehicles should make it no problem. Even most RVs should be ok. 4wd is not needed, but I wouldn’t bring really low riding cars out here.

This would be a great claim for someone interested in mining, but also someone who loves camping, hunting, hiking or just wants to enjoy the water and mountains. Its only 55 minutes north of Redding.. This is “Castle Car Crash,” now make yourself an excuse to get out there and enjoy the outdoors.

I also offer a payment plan – $500 down then 10x payments of $420.

Message if interested.

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 and county the claim is located in.

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, 2024. It is registered with BLM, and recorded at the county as well.

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 $165.00 yearly maintenance fee or, perform a minimum of $100 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 $165.
