The Lyons Consolidated Mine

Happy New Year folks! Come explore a partially flooded historic gold mine from the 1890s which still has some relics left behind like its rail, piping, drill bits and more. This mine's lucrative vein was struck by Major John F. Lyons in 1890, the year that he and his family settled at Shasta County, California. Last worked in the 1950's, it went through various ownership during its production years. Find out more in the video and if you haven't subscribed yet, please do. Like, share and comment.
