Back from my mining trip for gold, silver, and turqouise. Hunting for treasure!
mining in the nevada mountains
I don’t have many pictures yet and just got back last night but we are home! Yes, we found treasure and we had lots of adventures. This photo is my daughter standing by the tents where we were camping at 7000 feet in Nevada, a little below the town of Tonopah. The turqouise from this mine was lying on the ground everywhere!

Some of our adventures in brief were:
1. driving through blinding snow for 30 miles
2. using one lane “roads” carved out of the side of a cliff by a bulldozer years ago (but not in the snow!)
3. driving on a tire with very little air for 60 miles because there is NOTHING around but mountains
4. 2 flat tires at various times
5. waking up to sleet and 20 degree weather in 30 mile per hour winds (just one night)
6. bats are cute close up when they are not moving
7. there IS gold, silver, and turqouise in them thar hills!
I’ll write with more detail in my next post. Still recuperating and getting back to my eBay sales!
