Crooked River
Overview
All 9 of these mining claims are located “on” the Crooked River. With the amount of history that this drainage already has, from the dozens of mining claims we have listed over the years, not much more really needs said. If you have talked to me in person, where I have shared stories about clients I have sold mining claims to finding ounces of gold just metal detecting on a weekend, it was from this portion of the river. These pictures where taken in the fall, so as you can see, there is ample year-round water, with a well graded road going across ALL of these mining claims. A couple of these have some very nice existing camping areas on them, but I also took pictures of flat areas next to the road on a couple claims, as it appears that in some areas camping spots could easily be established. You can also read more about the “Crooked River”, but clicking directly on the highlighted “Crooked River” region name.
We will offer bundle offers of $250 off each additional mining claim.
