Dan & Annie's
Summer Adventure 2006

September 13th, 2006:

 

Outside of Silverton, Colorado we drive up into the hills for a tour of the Old Hundred gold mine.

 

Our guide is “Dan”:

 

We get suited-up…

          

 

Board the tram…

 

And travel 1,700 feet into the mountain.

 

Inside, Dan demonstrates use of drilling tools:

 

 

And dynamite:

 

Annie is loving it:

 

Back outside, we get to pan for gold and silver ourselves:

 

 

 

And keep what we find! Here it is…

 

Pure sterling silver:

 

That’s all for now.
