California's Sixteen to One has been producing gold for over one hundreds years. More than one million troy ounces of gold have been mined from its tunnels. In 1853 the Knickerbocker Drift Mine was started, later led to the development of the Tightner Mine which became a portion of the Sixteen to One. In 1896 Tom Bradbury located the Sixteen to One vein. On October 6, 1911 J.G Jury, W.I. Smart & H.K. Montgomery incorporated the Original Sixteen to One Mine. In one day, December 17, 1993, they removed over 2,600 ounces of gold. The mine is famous for specimen gold including "The Whopper": 141 ounces of crystalline gold.
