The Lost Cement Mine is a legendary gold vein situated in the eastern Sierra Nevada of California, United States.[1]

It was supposedly found in 1857 by two men who were separated from their group while crossing the Sierra. They traveled near the headwaters of the Owens River and found some hardened red igneous rock that may have had a large amount of gold in it.

For many years I have researched and hunted for this lost mine. like many others, before me, I have come out of the Sierra Nevada mountains with only the clothes on my back and a tail to tell my grandkids.

this episode is the first of many legendary lost gold mines I will be discussing. And maybe just maybe when you are out on the trail one-day lady luck will smile at you with a mine full of lost gold.
