16 Acre Mining Claim Tin Cup Colorado Middle Willow Creek Gunnison Colorado Gold

How would you like to own a little piece of Colorado mining history? For sale is an incredibly rare 16.5 acre mining claim, located less than 2 miles outside of Tin Cup Colorado, on the middle fork of Willow Creek, which is the water way that led to Gold Rush in this area in 1859. This claim is not only beautiful, but the creek is a wonderful producer. You can actually see the Tin Cup historical cemetery right from the claim. If you like off-roading, Jeeping, backpacking/hiking, this claim is an absolute dream. I have not seen another placer mining claim in this area come up for sale in a long time, and the one listed here on ebay is void of a running creek. I personally prospected and staked this claim and have worked it on and off over the last few years. While I would love to hang on to it, I am looking to put the money towards another project. All 4 corners are marked, and a legal location monument is in place. All paperwork is up to date with both the county and the BLM and fees are paid up until Sept. 1st of next year! This is a one of a kind claim, that is perfect not only for the seasoned prospector but also for the whole family! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have. *As a note* There is a restriction on camping directly off the FSR, however you can camp in a number of places off the road. However there are lots of nearby areas one could park an RV/Camper less than a 2 min walk away from the claim.

!MUST READ EVERYTHING BELOW BEFORE BUYING OR BIDDING!

Why buy from me? I am local to Colorado, unlike many of the folks on here selling claims. I personally prospected and staked each and every claim I own. Many of the claims being sold here on eBay are "paper staked" and thus given federal law, illegal. I am more than happy to answer questions, take phone calls, help you along your prospecting journey. I take a lot of pride in the work I do and a large portion of the money raised goes toward a non-profit museum. How long will the transfer process take? After the full purchase price has been paid, it typically takes anywhere between 7-10 business days for the quitclaim to be submitted to both the BLM and the County. This is because I personally take the quitclaim down to the BLM Colorado State offices down in Lakewood, CO. This ensures the fastest turnaround time and also allows me to provide the buyer with the original "wet" copy of the Quitclaim for their records. All in all, most buyers receive the finalized quitclaim in the mail from me within 45 days or less. Are there any taxes? There are no taxes, however there is a 200.00 maintenance fee that is due to the BLM before September 1st of each year. Alternatively you can submit a Small Miners Waiver, which reduces that fee to only 15.00. I happy to provide these forms upon request. Are there any returns or refunds? Given the nature of how un-patented mining claims are transferred there are NO refunds or returns. There is no reversal of the claim transfer, thus once the notarized quitclaim has been submitted to the BLM there is no option for a refund. All sales are final.

TRANSFER FEE:

There is a 250.00 transfer fee that is associated with each purchase. PLEASE note this when bidding or buying. This will be added to the final bidding/buying price.

I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason.
