The Prospector's Den

 is a location in the Mojave Wasteland, 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.
 * Dead Prospector has a 10mm SMG

Enemies

 * 1-2 Supermutant Masters and one Evolved Centaur will spawn and respawn near the entrance even at low levels.
 * 2x Jackal Gang members outside
 * 2x Jackal Gang members inside cave.
 * 3x Jackal Gang members inside building located inside the cave.

Note
The silver chest to the left of the jukebox in the first room of the building does not appear to respawn making it a safe location to store extra loot until you can get to player housing. (Tested on PC with gear stored at level 5 and still there two game weeks later at Level 27.)

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.


 * In the second room, the footlockers on the West wall will be empty. Leaving and re-entering the Den will reset them.
