1939
An anvil, manufactured in England in the year 1798, was discovered by George Chubey, Nevada prospector, while examining old prospect holes along the strike of a vein on the Fallini property on Eden Creek, the Goldfield News reports.
Chubey was attracted to the anvil by its appearance and found the date stamped into the article. Nye county residents were reported wondering how the anvil came to its resting place in the lonely Nevada hills.
