Nancy Hanks Mine (Nancy Hanks claim), Nancy Hanks Gulch, Unaweep Canyon, Unaweep District, Mesa Co., Colorado, USA
Since I was alone on this trip I decided not to venture into the tunnel. Old rails can be seen on floor. This mine was sealed off with the metal gate at left, but someone decided to take a sledge hammer to the lock. I found it in pieces on the dump. There's no stopping some people from collecting minerals! |
