Mineral claims

[justoverthehill]

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is finding the yellow shiny in this new season!

So back in the late 1800-1900 when the old guys put down mineral claims, did they do this for gold and were these the equivalent to putting down a prospecting lease in this day and age?

Cheers
