It was a very hard way of life and wasn't profitable at all. But it was better than no work at all for some of those guys. It was a very brief period but a very violent one and was a very dangerous place to live in the Wild West. In Tombstone, Arizona they averaged one murder a night for a very long period of time. It may not sound like a lot until you realize the population was only a few thousand people.

Nice silver as always brother!
