A bit of local mining history.
This is a headframe used to by the miners to get into and out of
the mine. It was also used to remove the ore from the mine. The
plaque in front contains description of the mining operation, a
cross-section diagram of the mine and a couple of pictures.
In order to verify your
visit, you need to supply the following information:
- According to the plaque
diagram, how many sublevels did level 4 have?
- What year was the earlier
picture taken? (Do not include the word "Circa".)
- What year was the more recent
picture taken?
And, for EXTRA CREDIT: According to the plaque, what kind of ore
was mined here?

November 7, 2009 by rockmanesq (1681 found) I used to be a miner, so I liked the cache and your method for submitting the answers. I still don't know why they stopped allowing virtual caches to be placed because those are the ones that teach history.
