- Vendor: Rebel Adventure Tours
- Type: Tour
This awesome guided mining tour, above and below ground, takes you into the oldest and most famous gold mine in Southern Nevada. This tour begins as you walk through the old Techatticup Mill site. This mill site is where the ore was brought out of the mine to the stamp mill, crushed into a powder and mixed in cyanide tanks where the gold and silver were then separated. Then it’s off to the entrance of the old Savage Mine, where you can explore some 500 feet deep into the side of the mountain. Once inside, you will see views deep into the veins were early mines chased gold and silver.
The Savage Mine produced millions and millions of ounces of gold and silver during the great gold rush of the 1800’s. There is a good chance that you may see burro descendents from the miners and/or native Big Horn Sheep. This tour has only recently been opened up to the general public and is a must see for all Old West history buffs and those who love awesome western scenery. Again, don’t forget your camera!
