These were taken when passing thru the small mining town that struck it rich in silver. Cobalt, Ontario Canada
Much of the mines are now ruins, the land underneath the town was honey combed in mine shafts, which resulted in sink holes.......

Cool little town and did find some sliver ore and a few other metals in the tailings.

Cool beans, Sven  Is it totally open to detectorists? Way to go on pulling that silver out. Great pics too

Yes it is, there's probably about 20 miles of back gravel roads that go to all the abandoned mines and tailings. As long as there are no  NO Trespassing signs your good. Which is probably about 75% of the area. The signs are up in areas too dangerous to be hanging around at or the several areas still worked.

Man Sven, that is a deal. You could spend a whole season there full time. Nice pics by the way. Kinda rocky digging though? Ever find any relics there?
