Steve Herschbach Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yeah, been for sale since 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 It's been for sale since about 2007 or thereabouts, probably longer. I don't think it's been worked in many, many years. Getting the permits to work it again...well it's California. Look at the pictures of the big nuggets. That's probably from the 1970's. As nice is it is to dream about, in this day and age in California it's only a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Valen Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Now after all the calculations I believe that if everyone on the forum just chips in a few dollars, and put Steve H. in charge we all might make about $16.78 by the end of this year. Who's up for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Valen Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I still think we all should buy the mine and split the finds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenJ Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Well once you figure in gas and food I've lost money on my first two seasons of prospecting and you're saying I could make a profit? I'm in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mine superintendents (Mr Herschbach) first priority should be to see that the boundary lines are in the proper place. Not the claim boundaries - - - - the state boundary. It needs to be moved a bit to the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 It could happen this way; so keep a boat handy. https://www.cagle.com/tag/seismograph/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Allison Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hey Guys, A partner and I flew out to the mine several years ago as my partner was very interested in the purchase. We got the grand tour, all day, most of the tunnels. It's a great place, tons of history and I'm sure a bunch of gold left. However, being in California, I doubt you would ever be able to work it to get that kind of return back. My partner wanted to pull the trigger, but I talked him out of it. I think it's too much money and it would take a lifetime of just poking around to even get close to making it back. Just my thoughts, probably the reason it has been on the market for over 10 years.

I'm from ILLINOIS and there is no poloitician that can't be bought, and if we give them a small cut of the profit we would be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
