Take I-5 North from Redding, CA to exit 707 (Delta Rd). Take a left onto Delta/Dog Creek Road. Follow the road 5.7 miles up the mountain to arrive at Dogs Delight Claim. There is a yellow sign hanging next to the camping area at the creek

Shasta County in Northern California is rich in gold, history and adventure and this area has been producing for years. Enjoy the cascading creek while camping, hiking, hunting, and off wheeling. Explore and hunt in the mountains while enjoying the great outdoors on your own claim. By owning this claim you would have exclusive mining rights. This claim has about 800

feet of the beautiful Dog Creek on it.

There is a nice campsite right on the edge of the water. There is quick and easy access in from the public road for you to bring your family and gear. Access is pretty good, just the last few miles are on a pretty well maintained dirt road. The claim is relatively flat and there are several potential campsites up the creek as well as room for an RV at the parking area. There aren't many people that come up through this area. You could get most vehicles, including RVs to the claim. You can pan for the gold mixed into the gravels as well as any other valuable minerals you can find. You would be in a hunting zone that is easy to get deer and other tags to hunt. This claim is tucked away in an awesome area just 50 minutes

north of Redding.

This would be a great claim for someone interested in mining, but also someone who loves camping, hunting, fishing hiking or just wants to enjoy the water and mountains.

This is "Sulphur Sweet," now make yourself an excuse to get out there and enjoy the outdoors.

The $500 price on this listing is a down payment. Another $3400 would be due within 7 days if you wanted to purchase it outright. (Total cash price $3900)

I also offer a payment plan - $500 down then 10x monthly payments of $410. We would have to write up a purchase agreement, but i don't mind carrying the loan.

Either way, click to secure the claim and let me know if you want to finish in a lump sum, or if you want me to write up paperwork so you can make payments.

An "Unpatented Mining Claim" means you own the "Mineral Rights" to the land and NOT the land itself. The land itself, is still owned by the Federal Government.

All paperwork is current and has been filed with the California BLM and county the claim is located in.

You are allowed to prospect the surface material of your claim including panning, sluicing, dry washing, metal detecting, and rock hounding for all precious metals and minerals (not just gold).

As with ALL UNPATENTED MINING CLAIMS on Forest Service land, you must file a "Plan of Operation" for any extensive mining operations beyond casual prospecting with the U.S. Forest Service.

All paperwork and fees are current through September 1st, 2026. It is registered with BLM, and recorded at the county as well.

If you purchase this claim and don't not contact me or respond, i will assume you want to do the payment plan. Refunds can be given if requested, minus a $100 per week / $20 per day fee which has been used to hold the claim for you.

You may not sell "sand and gravel" from your claim, only precious metals and minerals. Check with the Bureau of Land Management if in doubt.

You may not build a personal residence of any kind.

You cannot (at this time)"patent" this, or any unpatented mining claim. Which means, you cannot purchase the land from the Government for residential use. Mining claim "patents" have not been granted since 1992, and will take an act of Congress to do so again.

You may camp on your claim for two weeks if not prospecting, and you may camp virtually as long as you want if you are actively prospecting. Always check with BLM about extended camping related to prospecting. You can also recreate, hunt, quad, swim, horseback ride and do any activity besides prospect.

Once a placer claim is staked and filed with the proper agencies, it must be maintained on an annual basis. Proof that it is properly maintained must be filed with the appropriate County, and State office of the BLM on or before 12 noon, September 1 st of each year.

Mining Claims are considered "real property" and as such, can be sold, leased, and transferred to family members. As long as you complete your paperwork and pay your yearly fees on time, your mining claim CANNOT be taken from you.

The owner of an unpatented mining claim may

either , pay the annual $200.00 yearly maintenance fee or , perform a minimum of $100 worth of annual labor or improvements (EXAMPLE: Road improvement, clearing overgrown vegetation from access road, trash removal, etc....) on each claim by filing a Small Miners Waiver. You may file this waiver if you own 10 claims or less nationwide. (Check with the BLM for that fee amount.)

Currently the yearly maintenance fee for a 20 Acre mining claim to the BLM is $200. The county also charges a small annual fee of somewhere around $45 per year.
