Placer mine

16 Nov 2017 2 2 426
At the northwest end of the Bluewing Mtns, Pershing County, Nevada. It's called the "Colorado" placer on the atlas, but the claim marker (inset) calls it "Tammy." Presumably it's changed hands. There's lots of trenching by earth-moving equipment, but the area is so dry I don't know how they're working it as a placer. There's no surface water at all, and I didn't see a well. Maybe they bring in a water truck! Of course, those sorts of issues may be why the place is inactive--
