About this claim
The 20-acre Kangaroo Creek claim lies in the historic Callahan mining district of south-central Siskiyou County, in California's upper Scott River region — an area of significant early gold production from river gravels, bench deposits, and tributary gulches. Kangaroo Creek itself was worked from the early 1900s through the 1930s, placing the claim within a proven, gold-bearing drainage. The surrounding district is also known for rich gold-quartz veins associated with nearby granitic bodies, including the Cummings (McKeen) mine, which produced an estimated $500,000 in gold.
Before you call
- What it costs to own
- $4,000 to buy, plus the BLM's annual maintenance fee (currently about $200/year) and a yearly county and BLM filing by September 1. No hidden buyer's premium.
- What "unpatented" means
- You get the exclusive right to explore and extract minerals on this federal ground — the mineral rights and any improvements, not surface title to the land.
- How the transfer works
- We prepare the quitclaim deed and the BLM and county filings for you. Most transfers wrap up within a few business days.
