Researching patents

[urbanminer]

I found a patented claim that looks interesting. I know that they had to prove the property to patent it. Where would I go to find this info?

County Recorders office has evrything thats happened to that property till when records are kept. Unfortunately most have gone to computer and put away the microfische and charge a fortune to get to the REAL GOLD of ancient info contained(degrading to dust as I type) and really a disservice-John

Thanks John. I met a guy who took me to the court house to get the records. Found the claim on the maps and got claim #. They did not have the records for that particular claim, but they refered me to the BLM office. Something to do on Mon. Marc

Once a claim is patented the BLM has nothing to do with it any longer as it has now passed from their hands completely and is now for all intent and purposes PRIVATE PROPERTY with all rights granted in direct accordance of law----party on-It can then NEVER be claimed,and now pays FULL property taxes and not the miniscule usuary tax accorded to claims also--John
