Hayfork Haven
Placer Mining Claim

±32.5 Acres

Price: $15,000


Up until 1931, Hayfork Creek and East Hayfork Creek were extensively mined using a floatation dredge. Acres of tailings intermixed with unmined, virgin ground remain on the Hayfork Haven claim. Bucket-line dredges were fairly good at getting nuggets out of the gravel but extremely inefficient at getting gold from crevices in the bedrock, which leaves a huge opportunity for modern day prospectors! Ample opportunities for the small time prospector to a production level mining operation exist on the High Hopes claim. A superb claim for metal detecting, sluicing, and highbanking to find the buried treasure!

The surrounding area is scattered with historic mine sites and patented land lies adjacent to the High Hopes claim on 2 sides. Prior to 1994, to obtain a patent on a piece of ground, the miner had to prove that the prospecting on the property would support a family of 4 for a year. The existing patented properties prove the richness of the drainage.

The claim is easily accessible by 2 wheel drive and has creek-side motorhome accessible camping. The mild winter weather at the 800' elevation allows the High Hopes claim to be worked year-round. The cool clear water of Hayfork Creek flows all year providing recreational activities such as fishing and swimming as well as prospecting.
