After 2:00 AM last night, we spent four hours exploring the massive, multi-level, abandoned Lucky Golden Nugget Mine. This mine features several inclined shafts measuring hundreds of feet that connect to other levels that are higher and lower than the main haulage level that we used to enter the mine. One straight, long tunnel featured a row of 20 large ore chutes spaced at 12-foot intervals. The Lucky Golden Nugget Mine was a massive operation in its day, and several more trips are needed in order to reveal all its secrets. We believe the mine was abandoned in the 1940s.
