Seize your chance to own a 40-acre premium mining claim in the historic Waldo Mining District of Althouse Canyon – a true gem for prospectors, adventurers, and investors alike!  

​

Why This Claim Stands Out:  
Prime Location: Nestled in the renowned Waldo Mining District, this claim boasts over 1200 ft of creek frontage, including 800+ ft of NON-ESH waters, perfect for suction dredging, high banking, and metal detecting.  

Rich History & Proven Potential: Featured in YouTube videos and a segment of America’s Backyard Gold with Dave Turin, this claim has a legacy of yielding pickers and chunky gold pieces. The east side hosts a massive hydraulic pit with virgin material islands untouched by early miners, brimming with quartz-rich gold.  

Versatile & Group-Friendly: Ideal for group or club use, with ample parking, established trail systems, and large camping areas on a historic hilltop – once home to the 1970s Sunnyridge Commune. Old cabin sites add a touch of nostalgia.  

Untouched Natural Beauty: Set in an old-growth forest unscathed by fires, accessible via paved roads suitable for 2WD vehicles. Just 4 miles from services, with spotty cell service for a true escape into nature.  

Proven Track Record: Owned and cherished for over a decade, this claim has been a hub for workshops, group events, and content creation, making it a versatile investment for prospecting or mining operations.  

​

The Opportunity Awaits:  
Connected to the legendary Browntown site from the gold rush era, this claim offers both historical significance and untapped potential. Whether you’re a seasoned prospector or looking to create unforgettable group experiences, this 40-acre treasure is your gateway to adventure and opportunity.
