The Rye Patch Mining District is booming!
We are now operating a fully permitted mill site to process gravels in Rye Patch by the Bureau of Land Management and the Nevada Division of Water Resources. Having plenty of clean deep well water running into our two large approved mining retaining ponds changes everything in Rye Patch.
We also for the first time are setting up large-scale sluicing operations in Rye Patch using heavy equipment and a "Gold Rush-sized" wash plant. It's a very big deal out here!
Please note that you must buy a claim from me in order to have access to this exciting operation. We don't see many sellers out here and those that do offer claims in Rye Patch don't have any access to our mining operations or our water.
It makes a huge difference.
We are ready for prospectors. Water is everything out here and we have plenty of it for big and small sluicing operations.
As we know it's hard to find a trusted source for a good mining claim.
Well you have found that source in Rye Patch, Nevada. The most productive area for placer gold in the country.
Up for sale is a PREMIUM gold-producing unpatented placer mining claim for sale in the Rye Patch area of Nevada.
You can see my 100% feedback. Please know this is the last Rye Patch claim that will be sold this year.

You want to be in with us. Your investment in this claim will pay off in droves.
Section 18 has always been the best section at Rye Patch for producing nugget gold.
Claims in Section 18 rarely come up for sale as these have been locked in for many, many years. Prospectors from around the world come to Section 08 for the beautiful placer gold.
This is the beginning of a GREAT adventure! I bought my first claim in Rye Patch years ago and it was the smartest thing I have done for prospecting. I didn't know enough to stake my own claims. Buying your first one opens the door and allows you to learn the ropes of owning your own mining claim.
And this one has a very deep wash and several smaller washes. This is a great claim in Rye Patch. Right on the highly-desired western edge of Section 18! The amount of quartz and other mineralization is nothing short of incredible. There are very large outcroppings of beautiful quartz.
Great access road!
Section 18 is without question one of the best Sections in Rye Patch. Claims here have been held for generations.
Claim name is Adventure #18-33 Claim Number: NV105286003
Section 18 T32N R32E MDB+M
NW Corner: N40 38 18.2 W118 25 40.2
The claim extends a full 1320' south and a full 624' east from the NW Corner.
This is a 19 acre placer mining claim in the highly-desired eastern edge of Section 08 very near the volcano Mt Majuba. There are rolling hills and very deep washes. Again great access!
The claim is on BLM land and you will receive a clear Quitclaim Deed giving you the mining rights forever.
This claim has NOT been worked in many years making this a premium claim.
Adventure #18-33 is prized due to many years of inactivity.
These claims stay in families for generations for a reason.
Section 18 is thought to be the main source for much of the placer gold in Rye Patch.
I believe in fairness and doing good business. Let's make this easy for both sides. You're going to have a blast.
Transferring a claim to you is easy! You don't have to do anything as I handle 100% of the transfer details.
Claim prices have been rising steadily. I do NOT expect this to stop. PLEASE NOTE: If you make the purchase understand that full payment is required within 4 days.
Please note e-Bay only allows payment for mining claims via check, money order or cash-on-pickup (meaning you are out at the claim with me within 4 days). You cannot use the "eBay system" to pay for this mining claim because it is considered real estate legally. e-Bay does not allow any other methods. I support this because mining claims are still sold on handshakes and trust out here.
Positive feedback is requested from you once you receive the Quitclaim Deed for this claim.
Come join the adventure out here! The feedback says it all... prospectors trust us in Rye Patch!
