Historic? Granted the old community near Silver Springs, Nevada is likely historic for some reason, but I haven't been able to find out why it is called that (Historic). Regardless, got out there today and there are areas indicating buildings did, at one time, stand along the railroad tracks. While digging up the Prince (Prince Albert) it is apparent there had been a fire which burned most of the buildings there. Found a few things that interested me while poking around with the old Whites, those things did not include the tons of railroad spikes we dug up or the Prince Albert cans. I know that the existing railroad tracks were put in after 1935 (or there abouts), but the shotgun shell bases we found were made earlier then that (1911 - 1923). Some of the items we found, not including the railroad spikes and barrel hoops, are pictured below. Would like more info on the suspenders clasp, but haven't found that yet.
1 - old pocket watch missing the front and back found at 3". Has a gold color to it around the edge ... maybe brass?
1 - unknown gold colored non-magnetic ring about 3" in diameter at 2"
2 - Rem-UMC (NITRO CLUB) shotgun shell base 1911 - 1923 at 4"
1 - Crown Made suspender clasp in very good shape at 4"
1 - old ceramic button
