"Ruby Mine"

These are from and abandoned ruby mine in my area. Its not so much a real mine, but more like a tourist trap. Back in the late seventies and early eighties you could go to this place and buy a bucket of dirt for like 3 dollars. You would then pan that dirt and find various stones but primarily rubies. Most of the time they were small but sometimes people would find a decent size ruby. I had been told about this place by several people who had gone to it when it was open, but never really tried to find out where it was. When I finally got around to locating it I was surprised to find it in between several businesses and and apartment complex and completely overgrown. While there I noticed a few areas that looked lived in so It's probably become a homeless hangout/camp, didn't run into any people though. The pics aren't exactly Hires as I visited this place on a whim and had to take them with my camera phone.

Cool.

I've been meaning to get to the Upstate one of these days, but I've been busy.

Any good locations other than the Abyss movie set and the Newry Mill?
