From Redding, drive approximately 34 miles east on HWY 299, and turn north on Fenders
Ferry Rd. Continue for 20.3 miles. The road will turn to dirt at mile 3.5, cross the Pit River bridge at mile 8.7, pass Potem Falls at 9.3 then up Goose Pass. The top of the grade is mile 16.9, then Coming down the other side, you will come to a sign saying Bully Hill is to the left and Madrone Campground to the right (at mile 20.3) . Veer right and continue 0.7 miles, past Madrone Campground. 1.8 miles past the campground, you will pull off the dirt road, to the left. There are a couple meadowy areas that would be good for camping here, and access down to the water.
Squaws Creek flows into Shasta lake in the center of California gold country. This claim features extreme privacy, and isolation as there are very few people that come out here. Although there is a good 20 miles of dirt road to get there, its a good road and most vehicles can make it there. (though i wouldnt bring a super long RV or a low riding car) The campsite is really cool and this would be a great spot for long term camping and or as a base camp for hunting, fishing, or swimming.
There is about 700 feet of creek on the claim. This is "Squaws Shoot," now make yourself an excuse to get out there and enjoy the outdoors.
Here's what the winning bidder will receive...
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.

5) Paperwork to help you register the claim in your name for next year, and directions to renew the claim to keep it active for future years.
6)  You will also have my assistance to make it easy, and im always happy to answer questions.

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.
The BLM is in the process of changing the format of the LR2000 to MLRS mining claims report and getting rid of the CAMC numbers.  They will be issuing new serial numbers in the near future.  All paperwork is current and has been filed with the California BLM.  This claim has received this number as its registration. CAMC 0324500.
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,  2021.
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.
