"Lower Salmon Creek" 20 Acre Placer
"Lower Salmon Creek" 20 Acre Placer
Sierra County, California - Gold Past Producer
The Lower Salmon Creek is one of our mining claims for sale, a past-producing gold claim measuring 20 acres located in Sierra County, California. This unique spot features 1,044ft of river frontage with 20-foot high walls surrounding either side of the creek, making it incredibly simple to high-bank for gold!
The Lower Salmon Creek claim finds itself downriver from the old Lone Wolf Group mines, mines that were assaying thousands of dollars worth of gold in 1942. Eight decades of winter and weather have worn the hard rock of those mines down and have put their valuable ores the only place they can go: the Salmon Creek.
A year-round water supply and large quartz and gold-bearing boulders mean the creek is always pushing gold downstream. The spot features easy access to gravels and sands, with level spots near the creek to establish equipment or your campsite.
Next door to the scenic Gold, Sardine and Salmon Lakes, this claim makes for a great camping spot away from the traditional camping spots. Close to marked scenic overview spots near the road, the claim isn't short of its own natural beauty under the shadow of the Great Sierra Buttes.
The claim is a short walk from Gold Lake Highway, a paved mountain highway making for easy access to the claim without the need for off-road vehicles. If you're in need of provisions or just want a hot meal, Sierra City five miles to the South is nothing but a short drive away.
Catch a lick of boredom? While you're there, take a look at what your predecessors were up to at the Kentucky Mine Historic Park and Museum!
One of our more unique mining claims for sale, this claim also features space to expand. If you like what you see and you want more, ask us about expanding the claim to 40 acres!

Mining claims have been bought and sold for 150+ years.
The mining claim deed conveys all mineral rights, and interests to you. A copy of the deed is also issued to the Bureau of Land Management for recording. The transfer process typically is completed by all parties, and the official paperwork returned to you within 10-14 days after purchase.
