Looking for old mining items?.equipment, photos, books

[placerman]

I am a collector of mostly mining artifacts from the Southeastern US, especially central North Carolina. I am interested in old original photos, pieces of equipment, books, ore samples, etc.

Mostly I try to stick to things that can be verified as being from the SE US but would consider just about anything.

I am looking for parts to stamp mills, especially used worn down stamps. Also interested in drill cores.

If you have anything like this and want to sell or trade it, please contact me privately with a photo or thorough description of the item, along with your asking price.
