I was goofing around and stumbled on this - thought I'd share....

Most interesting to me are photos of Nome, AK - circa 1900

I love old photos like these Fullpan! I went to the South Dakota photos and have been to all of those mines. In fact the two of Rockerville were taken on the claim I now own. Those photos are now in the Library of Congress. Pretty cool!

A Metal Detectorist could research these old photos and line up with current photos to see where exactly the housing, bars, outhouses, etc. were. It could pinpoint exactly where artifacts, coins are hidden today - my 2 cents.

Thank you very much for sharing. In my much younger years, I had the chance to explore and photograph most of the Utah and Nevada mines. Even then there wasn't a great deal left standing. Great to see them when they were running and in their prime.

How is there no Georgia photos considering the Gold history of this state?

I noticed that too, D - kinda strange.
