The Prospector's Den

 is a place in the Mojave Wasteland. Located directly southeast of Primm and southwest of the Emergency Service Railyard.

Layout
The Prospector's Den is a simple cave with a building inside. The building consists of 3 rooms. Front room contains 2 beds, cabinets, a jukebox, and a refrigerator. Second room contains many Footlockers and mattresses with a dead prospector. The third room has shelving, first aid box, and a reloading bench.

Initially The Prospector's Den is held by members of the Jackal Gang, who have taken over the location and killed the Prospectors inside. Should the Courier clear out the location a group of Prospectors, including two NCR Prospectors, will reclaim it and populate it for the remainder of the game.

Once the Den is again in Prospector hands a merchant will be located in the main cave area, standing near the exterior of the shack.

Appearances
appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Notable Loot

 * Tumblers Today inside the second room.
 * A Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap is located on top of a chessboard in the room to the right with the jukebox.
 * There are several dead prospector corpses both inside and outside the house that can contain useful weapons, armor, and ammo.

 * 2x Jackal Gang members outside
 * 2x Jackal Gang members inside cave.
 * 3x Jackal Gang members inside building located inside the cave.

Bugs

 * As with some Traveling Merchants, the Prospector's Den's merchant inventory is not set to respawn. The merchant's inventory will only change with what the player buys or sells, and will otherwise remain the same throughout the entire game.
 * The Prospector's Den can prove a very tempting base of operations in the early days of the game but beware. Comfirmed the first aid kit in room three and the wardrobe in the corner of room one both respawn there original loadout resulting in you losing anything you may have stored in them. (I lost a wide collection of faction clothing and my vault jumpsuit as a result) This happened long after the Prospectors had returned so isnt linked to them repopulating the location.
