Mining Relics of the Mother lode

[Smithsgold]

There are relic's from the California Gold Rush all over the State.
The pictures in the video are from Grass Valley to Beckwourth and just about every camp or village in between.
When Gold was discovered in California in 1848 it started a mass expedition to the territory in search of great wealth.
I hope you enjoy the pictures and the video I just love visiting the Historic mining towns and sites .

Thanks for watching ​

My favorite stuff. Makes you feel all good inside.

Too bad not many of those relics were set up to demonstrate actual use.
They were typically built heavy duty enough to be serviced and put into use.
Finding an 8” pipe of water to dump out a pipe is another thing.

I was going to go and film some of these in action but this crazy stuff we are going though put the stop to that maybe next year ...
