I think on Mt. Doom it was the combination of putting on and claiming the Ring.
Agree on Mt. Doom.

I'd disagree about Amon Hen. I believe when Saruman and Denathor used palantír to gaze on the dark tower, Sauron became aware of their gaze and was able to engage them in contests of will. Amon Hen, the Hill of Sight, might in some way also be a place of seeing. While Aragorn saw nothing special when he sat upon the seat just after Frodo, when wearing the Ring Frodo was able to see quite a lot. Sauron only began searching for Frodo, though, after Frodo looked at the Dark Tower.

Both Bilbo and Frodo put on the ring on occasion in the Shire without giving away the ring's location. I'd just suggest that Amon Hen and the Crack of Doom are poor places to put it on.
