Rock Gold #1 has a fantastic camping area right which provides ample area to set your gear up, have enough room for the RV/Camper.
The absolutely amazing part of Rock Creek is that the same veins that fed the gold boom in Bourne, Cracker Creek and Sumpter run straight through this area. Due to its rugged terrain which can be challenging at times, became over-looked and forgotten about with the advent of the easy access of the former areas.
Baker county is the banner gold mining county in Oregon. In fact, the output of this precious metal from this county, and its near-by tributary regions since the 1800’s was approximately three-fourths of the entire gold output for the entire state. In the year 1897 the yield of gold from 313 gold mines and claims, in all stages of development, was over $107M in today’s dollars. It is estimated that not more than a quarter of the mineral bearing districts have even been prospected to this day.
Sixteen miles northwest of Baker City, directly west and across the ridge from the Baisley-Elkhorn commences the Rock-creek district. The veins run north and south, formation principally slate, and the free-milling value of the ores is 40 per cent; balance of values is saved in concentrates containing a great deal of massive sulfide ore. These concentrate on an average about $2900 (adjusted for 2025) to the yard, and all the properties in the district have a considerable amount of shipping ore. Most prominent among the producers of this district was the Baisley-Elkhorn, situated at the head of Pine creek, at an altitude of 6,500 feet. The district includes the mountain region between Baisley-Elkhorn and Cracker creek, covering a distance of six miles. On nearing the Cracker creek belt, the ore becomes entirely base. The most Important work in this section Is prosecuted on the Maxwell group, owned by the Maxwell Gold Mining Company.

NOTE You are bidding on 100% ownership of the entire claim.
Here's what the winning bidder will receive:
* Exclusive mineral rights to the land - as long as you keep up with the maintenance payments to BLM yearly, it cannot be taken away from you.
* A notarized quitclaim deed sent via UPS/FedEx with tracking information within 7 days of the winning bid and full payment received
* Paper and Digital map along with precise directions to your new claim!
* A new metal claim sign
* Our assistance - we're always happy to help and answer questions!
NOTE: You are welcome to visit the claim to do some sample panning yourself - only "Hands and Pans". Other methods remove way too much 'free' gold. Before you visit you need to email us your contact information including phone number and what you intend to do on the claim. If all sounds above board, we will email you approval - and you're off to the races!
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT AN UNPATENTED MINING CLAIM IS AND WHAT YOU WOULD BE BIDDING ON SPECIFICALLY, PLEASE REACH OUT AND ASK. The winning bid does NOT own the land, an "Unpatented Mining Claim" means you own the "Mineral Rights" to the land and NOT the land itself. The land itself is still owned by the Federal Government. All paperwork is current and has been filed with the BLM and county the claim is located in. You are responsible for knowing all the rules and regulations of what you are bidding on. If you have the successful bid, we will assume you know exactly what you bid on and will hold the bidder to paying for the claim.
You are allowed to prospect the surface material of your claim including panning, sluicing, dry washing, metal detecting, and rock hounding for all precious metals and minerals (not just gold).
As with ALL UNPATENTED MINING CLAIMS on Forest Service land, you must file a "Plan of Operation" for any extensive mining operations beyond casual prospecting with the U.S. Forest Service.
All paperwork and fees are current through September 1st, 2025. It is registered with BLM and recorded with the county as well.
You may not sell "sand and gravel" from your claim, only precious metals, and minerals. Check with the Bureau of Land Management if in doubt.
You may not build a personal residence of any kind.
You cannot (at this time)"patent" this, or any unpatented mining claim. Which means you cannot purchase the land from the Government for residential use. Mining claim "patents" have not been granted since 1992 and will take an act of Congress to do so again.
You may camp on your claim for two weeks if not prospecting, and you may camp virtually as long as you want if you are actively prospecting. Always check with BLM about extended camping related to prospecting. You can also recreate, hunt, quad, swim, horseback ride and do any activity besides prospect.
Once a placer claim is staked and filed with the proper agencies, it must be maintained on an annual basis. Proof that it is properly maintained must be filed with the appropriate County, and State office of the BLM on or before 12 noon, September 1st of each year.
Mining Claims are considered "real property" and as such, can be sold, leased, and transferred to family members. As long as you complete your paperwork and pay your yearly fees on time, your mining claim CANNOT be taken from you.
The owner of an unpatented mining claim may either, pay the annual $200.00 yearly maintenance fee or, perform a minimum of $100 worth of annual labor or improvements (EXAMPLE: Road improvement, clearing overgrown vegetation from access road, trash removal, etc.) on each claim by filing a Small Miners Waiver. You may file this waiver if you own 10 claims or less nationwide. (Check with the BLM for that fee amount.)
PAYMENT arrangement is due within 24 hours of the successful bid. We now accept Debit Card, Major Credit Cards, Zelle, Cash App, Venmo, Cashier's Check, Personal Check and Money Orders for payment. If paying by check, we will hold the quitclaim deed for 7 business days until payment clears both banks. If a payment agreement is struck, a non-refundable 25% good faith deposit will be required along with the payment terms.
