	Obituary-Silver Hill Mine, Davidson Co., NC « Thread Started on Aug 29, 2009, 12:10pm » The famous Silver Hill Mine in Davidson County, North Carolina is breathing its last breath as a government mine reclamation project is leveling it over and returning the site to a more natural habitat, mainly in response to acid runoff. While in some ways this is a good thing, it is very sad to see another classic locality gone. I have collected there off and on for 40 years, and was privileged to find a number of good pyromorphites for which the mine was most well known. It also produced many fine cerussites and in the mining days yielded incredible masses of crystalline arborescent silver, most of which were melted down at the time. As another door has just been closed, let us remember that we need to open a new one in its place, so good luck and keep digging. http://dirtyrockho...=6436&page=1#45188 A mine in the central piedmont with an open adit, gone, makes me wanna cry. The nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh…was built in measureless eons behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the dark stars. There lay great Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy vaults.
