PLEASE GO TO THE END OF
THE DOCUMENT TO SEE THE JUNE 8 UPDATES
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.
NOTE: It
is early yet so not all of the schedules have been set and there has been one cancellation. Please check on each location in question to make sure they
are going to be held.
The shows are in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Kentucky where there has been a lot of mining history. The first one is only a few weeks away, so you need to get busy!

MAY 12 UPDATES
The
following are pictures taken at this year’s show at Grass Valley on May 11.
This is the first time we have attended this show and there were 60 to 75
vendors selling railroad items, guns, mining and other memorabilia. The building
was full with a lot of customers. I found about a dozen vendors that
sold mining related items and (3) of them were at the Tucson show earlier this year.
We traveled two days to get there and will not do it again since the mining
aspects were few. Here are some pictures taken at the show:
