I saw this claim for sale on eBay. Funny thing is there is no gold in that part of the creek. The placers were deposited below the mines which are all way downstream a good mile or so.

What I find odd about the shady folks selling claims is, most have very few negative feedbacks. I assume this is because most buyers don't immediately follow up and check out the claim, so they just do their feedback right away and don't come back to give their true experience. Guess this would be the best time to execute these scams, as with it being winter, most buyers aren't likely to check out their claims until spring, probably after it is too late to have any recourse.

Red flags to me are how often the scammers mention the other recreational uses for the claim, as if the claim owner would have more rights to hunt, fish, camp, or whatever than the general public. (obviously the camping aspect has advantages to a claim owner actively prospecting)

Mike's wise words ring true... with the right tools and knowledge, there is plenty of open land out there to satisfy the needs of most of us.
