    Hey!

    I from Plain City (by Smith & Edwards), I grew up at the foot of Ben Lomond and explored all the mines around the area growing up, I recently came across a book about all the mines I explored, it is called Sierra Madre West I got in touch with one of the authors and have started exploring the mines again, pretty cool stuff!

    A few pics from our last trip up one of the canyons, not me in the pics..

      Welcome! I hope you will find our site useful, but I also hope you can come with us and explore some more mines. We don't currently have any information on that region on our site. If you could take some time and contribute to our wiki It would be highly appreciated.

      Thanks for joining!

                  I picked mine up from the Nature Nuggets folks at the NHMI, I know he said he does mail order.
