Last week Jacob went on the annual 4th grade field trip to the “Gold Bug Mine” in Placerville. Marissa also went on this same field trip and liked it. Jacob agreed with Marissa and thinks the whole family should go.
The mine was mined starting in 1888. It is not known how much gold came out of this mine because no records were used. After a day’s work, it would take 24 hours for the air to exchange so the men could start working again. It is believed that no more than 2-3 men worked the mine at a time.
Jacob took some photos to share with us so we could feel like we were there with him:
