Geocache Description:

Cache is near the remains of the Brown Mine in Wanaque.

Back in the 1800's this was the site of an iron mine. According to some of the records, this is listed as the Brown Mine while some records list this as part of the Kanouse mine which is about 1,500 yards further north. The mine consists of some small test pits and two large, water filled pits. There are also the remains of what was probably the base for the hoist. There is one clamp that still has the remains of an iron cable in it.
Don't expect a great view unless you like looking at sewage treatment plants. For a really great view try "Haskell Heights".
