内华达州的矿业故事在它成为一个正式的州之前就已经开始了, 19世纪中期,拓荒者向西前往加州金矿. 有些人沿路练习探矿, 而是在内华达州在后来的代顿发现了第一个金矿之后, 许多人留下来看看还能找到什么. 结果, 就在山上, 这将是世界上最大的银矿发现, 立即召唤成千上万的西部矿工东” 来分一杯羹 康斯托克矿脉. The boom years of the first major discovery in the United 状态s produced 更多的 than $300 million bucks, 其中大部分为西海岸的发展提供了资金, 推翻了南北战争的法案, 内华达州正式成为美国的州 银州.

The bulk of what is mined in Nevada now isn’t much different than it was in 1859, 它仍然是世界上最大的金银产地之一. 内华达州的大部分主要矿山都围绕着埃尔科, 伊利, 温尼姆卡和洛夫洛克, 并在夏季向公众开放旅游. 看看现代采矿设备, 比如卡车比你的房子还大, some of the most massive open mine pits in Nevada at 的地方 like Nevada 黄金 Mines—the largest 黄金 mining operation in the world.

Had a couple cool finds when I was venturing around the mountains between Virginia city and Dayton Nevada. The first cluster looks like a brain to me 😂🔥 the second picture is the highest grade of selenite I’ve ever found. 今天收获不多,但探索未知领域的感觉很好. #rockhound #rockhounding #rockhunting #crystals #crystalhealing #quartz #selenite #amethyst #nevada # explorenevada #minerals #geology #mineralcollecting #adventure #hiker #prospecting #crystalhunting
