But don't go messing with someone's claim, and don't go in any of the mines around here unless your insurance is paid up. Name a mineral and it's mined in Nevada.
I did a mine tour in Nelson. A family bought the mine a number of years ago. They told me that there is still gold there but it wasn't economical to mine at current prices. They also plan on opening up another mine tour which involves going deeper and some water. I tuned him out at that point because it sounded a little scary.

The family members I saw there were all well over six feet. I am 6' 2" and the runt of the family was taller than me.

THOSE would be the brothers I met in their little "shop" at Eldorado Canyon (near Nelson)..
