We were doing a bit of earthmoving up at the cabin today. Look what the cat turned up. Those rocks are Galena, which is the primary ore that was mined in the Paradise Mine. .
.
Galena is a lead sulfide mineral. It is the world's most important source of lead and a significant source of silver.  Look closely you can see the silver glinting in the sun.
.
.
We run daily half and full day ATV/UTV 4WD tours to the old Paradise Mine all summer. Come check it out and see what you can find ?
