I am trying to figure out how to get my first mining claim. My buddy has a cabin close to a pretty well known hot spot here in Gold Country. I'm fairly certain there is no area left that is unclaimed near there, but figured it would be a good experience figuring out for sure. There are claim signs all up and down the river, but I heard that a lot of people have given up claims recently due to changes in the claim fee structure. So I'm just trying to verify whether this whole area is claimed up. I have looked up the area on mylandmatters, found the township and section etc. It shows 13 active claims. Here is where I am somewhat stuck. My buddy says that we need to go to Sacramento and get the mapping info for these claims and draw them out on a map and look for any open areas. Is this true? If not, what's next?
