Geocache Description:

Small round container with room for small trinkets.

Devil's Gate marks the boundary line between Storey and Lyon Counties. In June of 1850, the first gold nugget was unearthed nearby, the first ever found in Gold Canyon. For the next ten years, the canyon was the scene of placer mining and one of the first stamp mills in the Territory was erected just to the south of Devil's Gate during the summer of 1860. Through this narrow gorge paraded thousands of the most adventurous souls of the mining West as they made their way to the gold and silver mines of the Comstock Lode.
