More Beaver Dick relics

[mabev67]

We were back at the site of the late 1880s ferry crossing and the wife found two curious objects. Outer casing of a lock I think that does appear older with what looks to be a bullet hole and a ring that may be rose gold and for sure an opal, no markings looks older as well.

I like the opal! Owyhee county Idaho and the area around Moscow, Idaho had an opal mining boom in the 1890's...would be cool if it was an opal from Idaho. There's a ghost town of Opaline out in the Owyhees near Given's hot springs

Yep, there's an opal operation in Spencer which is about 45 minutes from the area this old ferry site is. They sell unfiltered bags of pilings from the mine works for 30 bucks.
