Naming a claim .... or hide it in plain site

Posted by 11b1zbiv6glpq on March 18, 2012 at 8:13am in General Discussions

lets say you found the glory hole of all glory holes  and didnt want to draw attention to it  would you hide it in plain site with names like  ...."the big strike" ..." lots of gold" etc etc.

or would you want to scare other prospectors away with names like  ..... dead partner. too may bears . miskeeterville,  lotz of snakes.

 so lets hear what you might name a claim to hide your new find.

    Hi Larry, It really doesn't matter what you name a claim if you found really good gold MINE IT before someone else does. putting a mining claim in is good but if you can't catch the other miner high grading you, you don't have a foot to stand on in a court of law.  A mining claim gives you legal rights to the mineral you are claiming in a given area.      Names don't keep people from see what you are doing. I have had claim post taken, people working on my claim when I was not around, spied on with binoculars. Try to keep your glory hole to your self, work it when no one is around, work other areas to keep them guessing.

      Hi James.....

      this isnt about me or my claims i  was perusing the the old dogami files and chuckled about the very funny claim names and what the miners were thinking about when they named the claim, back in the day we just shoveled sifted and shut up
