Just my thoughts:
1. Keep it and put up no trespassing signs and when you want to go out into nature go enjoy it without the sounds of heavy machinery tearing it up.
2. Wait till you can’t enjoy it personally any more and then lease it out or give it to a relative. Of course you won’t get anything from it once a relative has it. Lol.

The real thing to do? Do not file any claims its YOUR property, do put up No Trespass signs and work it your self. The moment you tell governmental organizations what you are doing they may start watching you and invent reasons for you to pay "fees". Just mine it casually. Set up a recirculating sluice and see if you are getting larger pieces, pickers, or finding nuggets. People like to talk too much about their business and it leads to problems. You will learn everything you need to know by just doing it, this isnt rocket science when panning. It only gets complicated when you are trying to extract gold from sulfides, ect.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Best common sense I've heard in a long time. Well done.

Lucas,
i have all the gear a guy could use in the desert and to clean up cons. If you are serious i would be willing to bring my gear, (drywasher, 4 stack gold cube concentrator, miller table, detectors and pans and 50 gallons water) to your property, show you how to use it and how you can recover gold yourself on your property at no charge. what i would ask for in exchange - 1 day in the future, a day of prospecting with a good friend on your property (should we find gold) , a day pre arranged in advance with the ability to take home the little we dig for the day. I would pick a day in Oct this year.
I have my best friend coming in Oct from Indiana ( when he lived here we prospected together) and we get 1 day out together so that is why i ask for it in exchange, as i would love to give him a great experience when he visits at a place new to us both.
I am 50 years old, I Love the Lord, I have a lot of integrity and am Very Honest and friendly.
i love meeting folks and i can offer quite a bit of good advice, and it would be a pleasure to show someone how to do what i love to do best! Prospect for Gold!
that way you get a chance to use the gear, see it's productivity and make a decision on what is the best route for you to take and what gear you should buy in the future to be successful. Kinda like a trial run with no obligation other than 1 day of prospecting. I have a Keene Drywasher and all my gear is in great shape as i rely on it to get the shiny! I have a Gold Monster 1000, a PI and another VLF detector.
I can also Dowse the property as well when on site.
if that sounds good....give me shout via email and i will provide you my number. I have posted my number on a Forum here before but Non Members acting like members contacted me and i had to delete the post. Not that that is a big problem but honesty is important to me.
i Live in Southern Cal in Ontario
