The
following shows are for the mining purists. You will only see mining artifacts,
no other antiques. So, if you are only interested in mining artifacts these
shows will help add to your mining collection.
The shows are
in Arizona, Colorado, California and Kentucky where there has been a lot of
mining history. The first one is only a couple weeks away, so you need to get
busy! TUCSON 2017 23rd
