Thanks for the link Jim.
Should be interesting to go through the claims and put some names and dates to the various areas.

Interesting what you can come up with on that site. You can burn up a whole evening there if you're not careful!

ok, according to that map thats posted, I found a mine that isnt on there. Maybe, more than one, have to check, but 1 for sure.
Re: Old Mining Claims in the Superstitions - Inactive Claims
Hello Finder and welcome to the forums,
There are a number of possible reasons that the mine you found is not shown on the map. One of them being that the mine dates back a LONG ways, and nobody ever found it during the period when mining claims could be filed in the Superstitions.
I have found a few of those myself, so I know they exist out there. Are there any stone monuments and/or markers with lichen growth on them, or altered Saguaro's in the area that you could post any photos of?
Best,
Jim
