In the Prospecting world "Paper Hanger" is a NOT FRIENDLY name for those that unlawfully Record, File and Sale mostly unproven Mining Claims.
If you are absolutely focused on buying a gold claim, the Paper Hangers episode will help you in knowing who and what to watch for.
Side Note. Instead of paying $$$$$$$ for a claim, consider filing your own.
That episode of ON THE GOLD is just around the corner. Or as we say on the claims, "Just one shovel away."
