  • Four people stand behind a table with University of Nevada Mackay School banner and trophies, showcasing Mining props and a "gold panning" tub roadside; another person, possibly a Mackay Mucker member, sits to the right.
  • Four people stand around a large metal tub outdoors in Mackay; one person demonstrates gold panning while others watch. A trophy and Mackay Mucker mining buttons are displayed on a table nearby.
  • A person wearing work gloves, like a seasoned mucker, uses a hammer and chisel on a large stone block outdoors near a shopping center, under a clear blue sky.
  • A person chisels a large stone block next to a model water tower structure at an outdoor event in Mackay, with other people and tents visible in the background, highlighting the region’s rich mining heritage.
