[Rockhounds] [AD] vanadinite mine for sale

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

Mindat says it used to be called the Defiance Mine and has a more
complete than usual description

	http://www.mindat.org/loc-3323.html

It was discovered in 1875 and was actively mined for Pb, V, Mo, Zn, Cu,
Ag, Au, and W from 1929 thru 1957. There are about two dozen minerals
known from this classic location, and most of them can make pretty
specimens.

I wonder what the asking price is, and how one could make that
investment back from a mine that old without mining the proven reserves
(another big investment), if any.
