Historical Record

Marigold & Bumblebee was a 40-acre unpatented lode claim pair in Yavapai County, Arizona. This significant property featured gold-copper mineralization in the historic Bumblebee district.

In the heart of Arizona's Turkey Creek Mining District lie theMarigold #1 &the Bumblebee Gold #2;20-acre placer and20.66 acre lode claims!These claims are the envy of local miners: In an area where patented and unpatented claims stretch for miles chasing therich, feet-thick veinsfound across the Turkey Creek Mining District, staking new unpatented mining claims in this area is almost impossible -and getting your hands on one in this area is a rare opportunity!

With its history starting in the 1870s, the Turkey Creek Mining District has seen decades of work from nearly a hundred mines and thousands of prospectors, stopping only from governmental pressures due to the Second World War. With the labor shortage that followed the war, the district was mostly forgotten and abandoned... but all of its riches still remain half-mined!

This means theMarigold #1 &Bumblebee Gold #2 are surrounded bydozensof past producing mines. Chasing large veins,some reportedly stretching as far as 3/4ths of a milebefore fracturing, mines such as theWar Eagle, theGold Note, theRoach, theLa Plata Grande, and the aptly namedTrinity Mine, just to name a few, all mined for theTreasured Trinityof gold, silver, and copper. Withnearbymines taking in profits ashigh as $60,000 during their 1900s hay-day(about $1 million today), the area gave plenty of gold to everyone that could plant a stake in it!
