Coyote Mines

The  is a place in the Mojave Wasteland. It is near Camp Searchlight, the former New California Republic base that was recently irradiated.

Layout
Coyote Mines is very near to the location where the Gobi Campaign scout rifle is found, just northeast of Searchlight North Gold Mine.

There are two notable sections to this area - the house, and the mine itself. The house is backed up on high ground, and around behind it (to the north), is where the mine entrance can be located.

The mine is fairly small and simply laid out. A short ways from the mine entrance, the path splits. To the left is a camping area, complete with sleeping facilities. (2 prospectors may or may not be inhabiting this area.)  There's some miscellaneous toolbox junk, two healing  powders and a Hydra in this area. To the right, there are a couple alcoves containing loot, amounting to 15 sticks of dynamite, 3 frag grenades and some sack container loot (water, food and/or health items).

The Coyote Mines house has two floors, containing sleeping quarters, many storage containers and a working jukebox. There's food to loot in the kitchen, 3 first aid kits scattered through out the house, as well as the misellaneous items you'd expect to see in a recently abandoned wasteland house.

Neither interior area has any hostile creatures or traps.

Notable Loot

 * 1 Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap in the house (on a table near the entrance).

Bugs

 * A few of the sticks of dynamite inside the mine may fall through the ground when the others are picked up. They may or may not "bounce back" and allow the player to grab them.


 * The box of BBs (near the BB gun) inside the house may be stuck inside the shelf it's ostensibly supposed to be lying on, making it extremely difficult, if not impossible to loot without the use of the console. A way around this is to throw either a stick of Dynamite or a Grenade (tested with Dynamite) in the shelf below the BB's and hope they do not get stuck behind the furniture. It should however blow them out and land them between the shelf and the fridge somewhere.


 * A LIVE prospector can be found in the mine itself, running around opening random doors. She isn't hostile, she just runs around opening things.


 * When climbing the mountain behind the Coyote Mines shack, you can clip through the games "invisible barriers/ceiling" and get stuck behind it, unable to pass back through and off the mountain.
