Spent the better part of a week with the Otteson guys (Tommy, Danny and Tristan). We learned so much about the business and these beautiful stones! These guys could't have been any more accommodating. My wife and I love to mine/rock hunt. This was our best experience ever!

The Tonopah Historic Mining Park is on the site of Belle and Jim Butler's original mining claim which started the rush to Tonopah making it the "Queen of the Silver Camps."

The town of Tonopah has a colorful history and the Mining park is definitely worth a visit. It is very much a local site but interesting with the displays and the tour of the area. Great to see the town take such pride in it's early days. The curator was friendly and helpful. Interesting local movie which I so enjoy.

I went and spent a few hours walking around during the day. A lot of graves here to see. Nothing happened during the day. I came back at 4 am to take some photos and got a bunch of orbs. I was only there for maybe 30 seconds. Next time I am going to spend some time at night here.
