This is some of the ore from of the inside walls of the shaft. The shaft was only twenty feet deep and very narrow.

Re: OLD MEXICAN SMELTER
Even with the blurry pictures, the silver looks pretty
Re: OLD MEXICAN SMELTER
YES indeed! That silver is very pretty in the rock like that!
I'd like to have a close up look at sometime, and see if I can snap a better photo of it with my macro cam Kurt.
Best,
Jim

Re: OLD MEXICAN SMELTER
sounds good Jim, I hope sant brings me a nice camera for xmass this year. I am going back to the area next weekend, I did not have any tools with me besides my trusty leatherman and a thirty pound digging bar. The digging bar was to long to use in the shaft. The shaft is shaped like a carrot and is narrow at the bottom.
