Lost Blue Bucket Mine

The Lost Blue Bucket Mine (sometimes referred to simply as the Blue Bucket Mine) is the name often attributed to a lost mine reputed to be located in somewhere in the U.S. state of Oregon.

Although the mine is best known as the "Blue Bucket Mine," its discovery has been called "the lost diggings of 1845," the "lost mine," the "mine of the lost immigrants," and the "Meek's Cut-off Mine" (Bright 213).
