gagaan, I agree. Read "filing a mining" claim on this page. I am trying to figure out my route, and as soon as the weather breaks "get her done" They will change all the claim laws soon, they have to. But, till they do I'll play. Tom
I have gone through some of my mother's old papers and found the deed to a placer claim in Northern California. It lists my grandfather, grandmother father and motheras the owners. The deed is dated in 1958. How long is the deed good for? Could I as a descendant re-claim the mine?
Know that there are two kinds of mining claims:
1) unpatented claims which require yearly maintenance and BLM fees paid to keep active.
2) patented claims which is fee simple land and requires keeping up with the taxes just like if you have a lot in town that you have to pay taxes on to keep active.
I would suggest that you inquire at the county courthouse where these claims are at to see where they are at legally. Some county courthouses have online records and some counties you have to actually go in and check the records.
