Actually rebel, I have. Those silver mines are located on Route 58 at the foot of the Blue Ridge before you go up the mountain towards Lover's Leap Overlook. The last left turn before you start up the mountain. It is the same silver vein that runs through Wytheville at the saltworks where they were extracting silver and claiming to the King of England it was a lead mine. Many miners in America lied to the king so they would not have to pay a Lion's Share of the ore recovered. Have a great day.

I thought it was "outside" Danville, Va.; where the power plant is. Wife & I have NEVER been to Danville, so... will plan a "Spring trip" for an "over-niter", and check out the power plant area. MUST be near the Dan River or something... DUNNO. MOUTON land... MOUTON land. ;D

Rebel, If you notice the top of the link you posted on the treasurenet forum, it says the silver mines are in Patrick County no where near Danville or the power plant. The power plant mentioned by the man related to the counterfeit silver dollars is under Lover's Leap--------I have been there. There is a silver mine on that side of the mountain and two on the other side where I mentioned. And yes there is a power plant in this hollow but it is in Patrick County.
Sorry, it does say counterfeit silver dollars in Patrick County. The mines may very well be in Danville?

;D I will agree with you, that it IS confusing; didn't know WHAT county, Danville was in; ALL I "focus" on is Mouton land, near Danville, Va., ONE of the brother was "caught & jailed" in Danville and THAT is what I am "looking at". "Googling" POWER PLANTS near Danville, Va. indicates about 4 - 5! So... I am "looking" at the ones on DAN RIVER... near wherever MOUTON LAND is. MAY be a "focus" for wife & I, in SPRING, 2010... MAYBE, I should look for the "dam", the city built on the river. DUNNO.

The power plant is owned by the city of Danville it is in Patrick County west of Danville the Sliver mine was on the left side of the river if you are going up stream. If you go past the road that goes to the power plant Kiblery Valley rd. take the next paved road to the right Squirrel's Spur that will take you up on top above the damn where they were going down to the mine.

My mistake for the confusion the man was not jailed in Danville I don't know where he was sent to. I know what I saw at the old man's house and what many other have told me. If you look this area up on Google earth you will see how rough it is and why it hasn't been found. I wish someone would find it.

Search " Pinnacles mountain Sliver mine " I just found a song Helen Cockram about the mine they have information at Ferum College near Rocky Mount Va, about the song and the story her father told her . I had never heard it till tonight. The Pinnacle of Dan are above the Power plant. Check it out.

Beale in the old post I was a little confusing about the counterfit sliver dollars ,when you where at the power plant you were about 2 mile from where most people think the mine was I hope the last couple of post have cleared up some of the confussion. I am new at this and don't know where to go to track down anymore info,finding the song the other night was something new,I will try and contact the college at Ferum. I guess the Court house may have some record of the guy being arreted. If anone has any suggestion let me know. Thanks

I never heard of this before I posted the other day about fairy stone & saw this old link
so did anyone have any luck? I was skimming the roads this afternoon. the road I think is being mentioned is 13 miles from my house. either way, its sorta in my neck of the woods, but I have feet problems & I cant do lots of hiking like I used to, maybe a couple miles depending on terrain.
for the sake of mentioning it, the road that goes to loverleap is actaully the new road, & there was an old road. before they built the new road, the 58 that everyone drives up these days. I looked at a house for sale last year on the old road, but couldnt get along with owner on negotiating a price
