LOOK! 18.5 Acre Mining Claim Kaufman Creek Grand County Colorado GOLD, LAND, + !

Up for sale is a wonderful 18.5 acre, unpatented mining claim, located on Kaufman Creek, in Grand County Colorado. Grand County is a bit of a hidden gem when it comes to placer gold as its often overlooked. The placer workings on Kaufman, Willow, Denver/Bronco, and Stillwater Creeks accounted for some of the best placer gold recovered in the Northern part of the state. Kaufman Creek stood right with Stillwater as some of the best placer gold. Upstream from this claim (which feeds into Willow Creek) was a decent sized placer operation that ran from about 1880 -1905. There used to be a cabin that the miners built, but it burned unfortunately in the 2021 fire. A few sizeable prospecting pits have already been dug on the site (by me) and have been wonderful producers, especially when running a small highbanker. There are a few really nice tent camping spots and a few areas right near the pull off from highway 125 where one could park an RV/Camper. There is about 580ft off creek running through the claim. I personally staked and prospected this claim. I have worked it numerous times, and pulled about 4grams of gold from the ground. I am just not able to get up this way nearly as much as I would like. Its a great claim with a TON of potential and I am just trying to get back the money I have invested into it. Please let me know if you have any questions.

!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.
