Seven Troughs district. You can tell this is an old one because it's just a piece of weathered log! Back in the 70s people would use pieces of plastic pipe, but those are now illegal due to some sort of deleterious effect on bird life. New claim markers are again wood, but they're machined-finished stakes from the lumber yard. This whole area was re-staked in fall 2010 by some group. I didn't ask the survey party who they were working for!

Seven Troughs district. This area is now a hotbed of new activity. There was a lot of drilling in fall 2012, and it may not be open to the public much longer.

Pershing County, Nevada, USA. Near the end of Stonehouse Canyon. Note that the tracks near the mouth have been buried by cave-ins! This area underwent a new flurry of activity around 1980, at the time of the last precious metal boom, and is undergoing another right now.
