Hi, Welcome to my Page !!

I'm a 76 Years Young, 100% Disabled Vietnam Vet. I love Rocks, Minerals, Rockhounding and maintaining my Sponsored Site which is the Scott Mine in Maricopa County, Arizona. It is located on my Hard Rock Mining Claim, BEL1. Until 2019, it was well preserved, with a cover, square sets and a manway. This was a semi active mine until a group of youths decided it would be a great place to have a party. During the party, the square sets, manway and cover were destroyed. The shaft is clogged with debris at roughly 70 feet down, and then was claimed by a rancher as a water source, thereby preempting mining activity until the matter is resolved.

I have semi-annual trips to the tailings with the Wickenburg Gem and Mineral Society being allowed to search for the abundant calcite which fluoresces Orange under Long Wave (365nm - 395nm)ultraviolet light. There are other fluorescent minerals on the BEL1 and Inca Gold 1 claim as well. This is a richly mineralized Hydrothermal mineral deposit with minerals as noted on the Scott Mine, Belmont Mountain, Tonopah, Osborn Mining District, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA Page
