Old mine locations can be a wonderful resource for any rock collector. Not only can you (if on public land) go through the tailings piles and often find great specimens, but even knowing the general location and what was mined there can help you understand the geologic environment of the region and what you could potentially find nearby.
I was recently contacted by Ivan Herring, an author who has spent the last several years gathering and preserving information on the mines of the American West, county by county.
If any of that sounds interesting, or if you'd like to support his project, you can view his amazon page to see the full selection.
