The "Rockland Pond," as it's known locally, is actually an underground copper mine.
This is a fun place to fish as well as hide a cache. This is the first original cache by the GeoTrio+, which consists of three brothers, their sister, and their "fun auntie."
The "Rockland Pond," as it's known locally, is actually an underground copper mine consisting of eleven shafts and several adits. The Minesota Mine was organized in 1848 and worked two fissure veins that were very rich in copper. The mine operated until 1885, when it was closed. The mine was consolidated into the Michigan Mining Co. holdings in 1899. The Minesota Mine produced approx. 34.7 million lbs. of refined copper.
The Minesota Mine got its name from an error in the recording of the original deed, when the second "n" was accidently left out. It was never changed, and the Minesota name stuck.
