The Old Atlantic Cable Mine and Cable mine are in the same location where the world's largest nugget was found.  It sold for $19,000 in the late 1800's.  The ground was so rich that a cigar box of samples assayed at $1,000!

Cable has three cabins, a big barn with log sides and topped with a weather vane.  There is a boarding house up the hill that is still complete with furniture in the upstairs bedrooms, a kitchen with a range, sink, and a couple of chairs along with old, worn wallpaper.  The mill stands higher on the hill with firebricks, timbers, and an iron boiler inside.  There was an old big settling pond,, tool sheds, and iron balls from a ball mill outside.
