Photos of any major imperfections will be included. A miner is seated in a rocky tunnel, focused on a sizeable piece of mineral he is holding. Clad in overalls and a wide-brimmed hat, he appears to be engaged in mining activities, possibly for gold or other minerals typical of the Plumas County area in Northern California. The photo captures a moment of hard work and determination, highlighting the labor-intensive nature of mining during this period. Mining in Plumas County has a rich history, dating back to the mid-19th century when gold was discovered in California. The region attracted numerous prospectors and miners during the Gold Rush, and it contributed significantly to California's mining economy. Even past the Gold Rush, Plumas County remained active in mining activities for various minerals, including quartz and other valuable materials. The tough conditions and camaraderie among miners formed a notable part of the local culture. none === We are happy to offer discounts if you order multiple photos.
