POINT BAR gold placer claim for sale, Location...location...location... Options

[ASTROBLEME]

Hello members and visitors;

My family is selling our gold mining claims that are on the Arkansas River in an effort to direct more time to working our diamond mines west of Fort Collins. This offer is for the POINT BAR PLACER mining claim. It surrounds the public "Point Barr" recreational area that is a very popular recreational prospecting site being published in GPAA, BLM and many other prospecting venues.

I was born downstream of this deposit and grew up prospecting the Arkansas River between Salida and Canon City, Colorado. There is a very rich history of this area and my family shares my passion for mining. I remember a couple of guys that worked the open public lands when gold was $35 per troy ounce. They spent their summers fishing and mining and said they paid for their college tuition. Even to this day, LOTS of people still work the gravels near our POINT BAR in the public mining areas.

As a teen, I was interested in what created the swirling whirlpool holes that were bored into bedrock in that area. The holes are numerous and those that were very deep and had some filling from trash by the visiting public along with a sampling of the area's wildlife that got trapped. The pop bottles down hole had a good deposit value but the snakes freaked me out! But now I know how those holes can trap gold and I've tried to get to the bottom of my first target, but I still haven't cleared that pothole. There are many other potholes that haven't even been started to be worked on.

We are asking $20,000.00 US funds. This sales offer is valid through midnight May 1st, 2017.

While the access from Highway 50 is open year-round, the county road running through the claim on the north side of the river has been closed due to flood damage. The government entities that maintain it are said to be getting ready to do the repairs. You can see the red brick wall damage that closes off the public travel. I kind of miss being able to access the adjacent public gold mining area. Quite often there are many folks there that are working the public placer and it is always great to meet and talk with them. Many inquire about access to my family's claim. Perhaps a new owner would like to work with the public to allow those wanting access but we just don't have the time do do it properly with our efforts concentrating on diamond mining in the Stateline District.

A prudent placer miner can readily recognize the gold trapping geology of the bedrock here!
