Land Ad Description: 40 Ac. PLACER MINING CLAIM IN NEW MEXICO Hillsboro – Wicks Gulch Name: Wickett 1 Description:NE1/4 SW1/4 Sect 7 T16S R6W HAVE FUN AND FIND SOME GOLD! This auction is for the entire purchase price. High bid is the price for the claim! Please read my s so that you may bid with confidence. The Hillsboro area is credited with the most gold recovered in New Mexico. From 1877-1982 over 270,000 oz. of gold and silver have been recovered, as well as 7 million tons of copper. These were reported totals-there is no telling how much unreported gold was removed. Almost all of the public lands around Hillsboro are under active lode and placer claims and are difficult to acquire. Most of the placer gold recovered was in Wicks Gulch. The claim has a portion of this rich gulch. A dirt road leads part of the way to the claim, but the last quarter mile needs to be hiked. There are many flat spots to set up camp on the claim or an RV at the road. Bedrock is shallow in most places on the gulch floor. The sides are a hard pack of clay, stones, and sand. There is lots of blacksands and quartz on the gully floor and on the sides. Truth or Consequences is about 20 minutes away, and Las Cruces is about 75 minutes. Both of these metropolitan areas offer restaurants, lodging, entertainment, and supplies. Please ask your questions before the auction ends, and understand what a placer mining claim is before bidding. You will be bidding for the mineral rights only, not the land itself. You can camp on it or stay in a wheeled vehicle, but you can not build permanent structures. A mining claim is real property. You can sell it, give it away, use it as loan collateral, or pass it on to your heirs. It is yours as long as you meet the annual filing requirements. Currently, by Sept 1 of each year, you must either pay the BLM $140 or if you have fewer than 10 claims you can file a small miners waiver and pay $10. This will be explained in detail to the winning bidder To the winning bidder I will supply: GPS coordinates a quit claim deed Topo maps of the area Directions Instructions on maintaining your claim All of the forms you will need There is a $249 document transfer fee! This fee is used to defray the cost of BLM fees, county fees, notary fees, supplies, and postage. I will make sure the transfer is done right and smoothly. Acceptible Payment methods: No PayPal. I can accept personal checks, money orders, or cashiers checks. I can also accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover credit and debit cards thru my merchant account. I will send a secure invoice that you can pay on-line upon request. Please do not bid on this claim if you do not have the funds available. Payment of the winning bid, plus the document transfer fee, will be due within 5 days of auctions end. If you have fewer than 3 s contact me first, before the final day of the auction, before bidding, with good contact information-such as your name, a contact phone number, and a verifiable address. This is for my protection against people who create phoney usernames on auction and then bid with no intention of paying- costing me time and money. I reserve the right to remove any bids, and to halt the auction at any time. Please allow 2-3 weeks for document preparation and mailing.
