mine

Hello and welcome to my first thread. I'm a casual off-trail explorer and NOT a very good reader of trail signs, Spanish treasure markers, etc. In the past I've stumbled upon old mining operations (tunnels, pits), Indian ruins and the occasional obvious marker here and there. While exploring...

Watch until end for some links to some of the best mine explorers around, they go DEEP into this mine. We didn't have the xxxxx.

Checking out a abandoned mine site.

Quick drive by of an abandoned gold mine in British Columbia. Going back in Spring with the detector to check out some out buildings way up the hillside for sure!! This video is from a couple months back so the editing is poor sorry!

I found quite a bit of these rocks halfway between Las Vegas and Goodsprings, Nevada. Looks like pseudomorphed iron pyrite to me but I will yeild to the experts. I took one of the samples and polished the edge down for no real reason other than just to do it. Has a hardness similar to my...

In December of 2017 I posted some pictures of an old desk that I had recently bought. It is still posted and the title is, "texas oak desk find". I have since been told the desk is not oak. A user, (Against The Wind), had asked if there were any tags, inscriptions or makers mark on it. I...

Hello members: In the '90s I used to be a regular here known as "Silver Fox". Those were the days of Ricardo, EZ Rider, Joe G, Glenn G. I remember their names 'cause they plus others got together at Cloves Lake, Staten Island, NY and we had a TH'ing blast/picnic. Whenever I see anything...

I think its some kind of polybasite or silver minerals or lead. It is very heavy this one rock weighs 20 lbs. I'm a novice in geology. Please help me identify this. If anyone has a tip please any information is so helpful.

Hi friends, John just dug this. It has a wick in it and the pin pointer makes a really high-pitched sound when touched. Some type of grenade? Found it deep in the stream. No idea as to age. Thanks for looking. -Lisa & John UPDATE--after rinsing, we think it is in active because it is filled...

Hey guys I've been prospecting the San Gabriel wilderness for a while now, specifically the east fork, and I have so many ideas or thoughts and nobody to talk to about them. So, I hope y'all don't mind me tossing around ideas here ??? . Often times I find myself rambling on tangents, so I...

Wondering if there is any exposed veins ,mines, caches on this photo?

Through the years many people claimed to have found the LDM. Even now there are claims of finding the mine on other threads and more claims of finding it in the future. What I want to know is what clues did you find that says this is it? Keep your location a secret but tell us what you found...

Looking for a copy of the manual for a Vallon VMC1 detector. Format doesn't matter, as long as it is legible. I am willing to pay a reasonable amount and for shipping if necessary.

I bought a gold mine in California. It was on ebay. Its about 21-22 acres. Somewhere around there. The name is the Cargo Mines. One mine shaft alone is 650 feet deep and there are probably 12 shafts that all go straight down. The seller claimed I was getting the land, mineral and water rights...

Picture is of a rock i found near my house. I found some pictures of lead/silver mine claims on Ebay and alot of the rocks in the woods near by looked simmilar. Then i found rumors of lost mines in Missouri, then i found sink holes in woods and i hear of people finding old Roman coins here...

I WILL BE BRIEF, TO BEGIN. I MISSED A RECOMENDATION TO BRING MY SEARCH TO THIS THREAD. I'M GLAD THAT I WENT BACK TO REREAD MY OLDER POSTS. THE PHOTOS ARE FROM THE SAME MINE SEARCH. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THEM, AS I HAVE POSTED THEM IN 4 OR 5 OTHER THREADS. I WILL START OUT WITH JUST A FEW AND ADD...
