You need carts about that size to haul the balls required to go on these treks alone.

You should bring a gold panning pan and check out those creeks!

I'm thinking the blue package that you picked up that said cigarette/wheat would have been rolling papers from when they rolled their own cigarettes.

Yeah! I believe you’re right I found a more complete one in another mine and it had the brand and everything.

The first machine you looked at is a drilling rig or spud rig. Basically it beats a hole in the ground.

Cool vid. When will those people be back to clean up their mess? The damage they have done to the landscape, vegetation, and wildlife will continue on for generations. It’s not cool to take home pieces of their garbage? Do it! Perhaps it will go towards cleaning up the mess.

Reminds me of Manhattan, Nevada but far more unspoiled being up a ways....cool! I wonder if Manhattan is still intact? It had a brick smokestack like that for the furnace roasting arsenic containing gold ores ... Can you imagine living there when orpiment and realgar were being vaporized? (at Manhattan the ore contained stibnite as well, so a little antimony was being vaped too...)
