The Privateer 20 Acre Gold Placer Claim for Sale
.
The Privateer 20-acre gold placer claim is the perfect claim for anyone looking to strike out on their own in the hills of Nevada and find themselves a fortune plundering the hills. Close to a natural mountain reservoir, the Privateer sits central in Olinghouse Mining District and overlooks the valley below, taking gold from the Jones Creek and one of its tributaries. The gold is the Olinghouse special: the treasured, free-milling crystalline gold nuggets that sell for thousands based on their unique appearance alone!

Hematite-rich red rock, characteristic black sands, and plenty of readily visible strata to see where the rivers carve their path down to the valley. Where the Privateer sits lies a similar ground composition as the Olinghouse mine, where "gold occurs as small wires and free grains in generally open veins, along with quartz, calcite, goethite, epidote, stilbite, heulandite, hydrothermal K-feldspar, and sparse adularia." Similarly, the Privateer finds itself next to the very same NE-trending fault structure the Olinghouse mine profited from, and sits in equally magnetically-tumultuous ground.

The Privateer finds itself wedged between Pyramid Lake's little town of Nixon to the North, and the much larger town of Fernley to the South. A mere 10-mile drive to either one, you're never far from some quick refreshments, snacks, showers, beds, or whatever else you might seek in the sands of Nevada. RVs and other large toy-haulers won't make it up to the claim site without great difficulty, but there are RV camps at both Pyramid Lake and Fernley to hold the big boy while you take the smaller vehicles to the claim.
