    Discarded mining equipment

    Here is some abandoned mining equipment that was left out on the side of a mountain in the Bradshaws after the cost of mining out weighed the cost of gold....here are a series of photos from the open mine entrance to the cyanide bath tank......every thing is here the oven, rock crusher, drag bucket, pumps, vault......just laying around and deteriorating.
