Claim Details
Location: Weaver Creek, downstream of Rich Hill, near Stanton, Arizona
Size: 20 Acres
Type: Unpatented Placer Claim on BLM Land
Rich History of Weaver Creek: Weaver Creek is named after the legendary Pauline Weaver, one of Arizona’s most well-known explorers. In the 1860s, Weaver and the Peeples’ Party discovered gold in the nearby Rich Hill area, triggering one of Arizona’s most notable gold rushes. The region has yielded substantial amounts of gold over the years, including large nuggets. The gold-bearing gravels of Weaver Creek have been shaped by centuries of erosion and flooding, making it an ideal site for both recreational prospectors and commercial miners today.
Claim Highlights:
- Untapped Gold Deposits: Weaver Creek #2 presents strong potential for gold recovery. The gravels and gold-bearing material are ideal for various types of equipment, including Trommels, recirculating sluices, and dry washers. Mining operations in nearby Rich Hill have long confirmed that this region is one of Arizona’s richest gold-producing areas.
- Perfect for Large-Scale Operations: This claim is well-suited for commercial mining operations. You can bring in tractors, excavators, and backhoes to move large amounts of material and access deeper gravels. However, setting up these heavy machines on-site will require the necessary permits. Additionally, Trommels and wash plants can be set up on-site (with the right permits) to process higher volumes of material, capturing gold through sluice boxes or other gold recovery systems.
- Processing Equipment: Commercial miners can use a variety of equipment to maximize recovery on Weaver Creek #2. From high-capacity Trommels and shaker tables to sluice boxes and recirculating systems, the claim offers ample space to run a full-scale mining operation.

Located near Stanton, and close to Yarnell and Congress, the claim provides convenient access to supplies and fuel, supporting both short- and long-term mining operations.
- Recreational & Commercial Potential: This 20-acre claim is ideal for both recreational miners and those planning larger operations. Whether you’re dry washing, running Trommels, or processing material through a recirculating sluice box, Weaver Creek #2 provides exceptional opportunities for significant gold recovery. The deep gravels and extensive gold-bearing material make it well-suited for larger-scale setups, allowing for more efficient recovery of gold deposits.
Weaver Creek #2 is an exceptional opportunity for serious miners. Its vast gravel deposits and rich gold history make it a prime spot for commercial-scale mining operations.
