Little Placeritas Placer Claims In Arizona

About This Claim

Little Placeritas is a group of three 20-acre unpatented BLM placer claims in Yavapai County near Baghdad, Arizona, totaling 60 acres of dry-ground desert placer country. This is a practical Arizona dry washing property with sandy washes, boulders, workable gravels, and gold shown from the claims themselves, making it a strong fit for buyers interested in hand work, dry washing, and selective metal detecting. Special Operations Note: This project does have a Notice of Intent in place for limited small-machine excavation and mechanical recovery methods, including use of a small excavator or backhoe and a dry washing or recirculating wash plant setup. That gives the property a broader operational profile than a hand-work-only claim. It may also be worked with hand digging, dry washing, and some metal detecting. Buyers should contact the seller directly for NOI details, operating scope, and equipment specifics.
