Geocache Description:

Flooded Nickel Mine

The Hopkins and Dickinson Manufacturing Company which produced metal castings in a factory along the Ramapo also explored the adjacent mountains for viable ore deposits. Nickel bearing rock was found on Monroe Ridge and a mining site is still visible today.
