I'm back, I actually went to four mines. I drove a small jeep for about 20-30 miles for the first time, got to pet some bats that were taking resident in the mine, if you pet them enough they opened their mouths and showed their fangs. I shot off a 30-30 rifle that is used to kill bears, a .22 magnum, and another scoped rifle. I found Cinibar(I think that's how you spell it), which can be melted down into mercury at high tempatures, a small bit of gold, Jasper, Wonderstone, silver, and tungsten. There were wild Mustangs on the country-side in the mountains in the desert where the mines were. They date back to the 1950's and are largely unstable, now abandoned. I got to climb up shafts and large trenches. The mines were right next to a military bombing site so I found an old Window's XP that got blown to stuff and had been shot multiple types in every side. The previous day I even found an Xbox which I took home that had been shot about nineteen times and had the covering blasted off. I worked about seven hours a day looking for minerals. I heard a lot of great stories like how my great uncle beat a bear to death by jamming a rock into its head to get it to lose its grip on a hunting dog that the bear had locked onto, he also had an old bottle of ink that was used by Mark Twain, on top of this, an old rope and a saddle that was in a picture from 1910. I over-all loved my trip to Nevada.
