Spanish lost workings (northern mines)

Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.

The story

Across the northern Mother Lode, miners in the 1850s told of older Spanish or Mexican diggings, rich and then abandoned, their exact sites forgotten. Some old workings are real, the richest of them are mostly legend.
