The Wichita Mountain Gold Rush (Actual Locations Today)

This is a video that covers the old mining days of the Wichita Mountains, from 400 years ago to current day. We discuss the history of mining, the boom of the 1900's, and the death of mining just a few years later. We also visit several actual old mining locations by drone and several actual locations on the ground. Most stories were taken out of Steve Wilson's Oklahoma Treasures and Treasure Tales.
