Silver Hill is located northwest of Magdalena, New Mexico and has primary prospects on the north and south side along a vein that runs through the hill.  The fluorescence at this locale was first discovered by Dru Wilbur while he was working on a degree at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in nearby Socorro.  I expanded on his discovery by searching all of the prospects and shafts in the surrounding area.  In addition to the original find of Calcite, Willemite, and Caliche I discovered Aragonite, Hyalite Opal, and a few pieces of multi-colored Calcite.  It was a lot of work but the results are certainly worthwhile.
