The Mayflower Gold Mill in San Juan County, Colorado. The mill operated from 1930 until 1991 (with a 12 year shut down) resulting in 49 years of operation. Production included 1,940,000 ounces of gold; 30,000,000 ounces of silver; and 1,000,000 tons of various base metals. We had a really great and knowledgeable guide (who only stays with you for a few minutes - self guided tour). We talked prospecting with him for about 20 minutes off camera. Enjoy.
