An Interactive Site for Finding Mines and Claims in the United States

I have recently come across a website that contains a vast amount of information on the locations of mining claims and mines in the United States.  The website is called The Diggings and a link to it is also in the "Prospecting Aids" section of the right-hand sidebar of this blog.

The site provides a number of ways to locate mining properties, including by name of the property, owner, or geographic location.  There is also an interactive map that allows the user a birds-eye view of the mines and claims in any region in the U. S. as well as of properties in some other countries.  Both current and historical mining claims are included and one may sign up for notifications of updates to the database.  How to use all of these features is fully described on the site.

I encourage everyone to check it out and hope you will find it a useful aid in your prospecting research.
