The town of Mineral, just a little way down the road, was originally named for the fact that it was a mining town. It was well known for its mines of zinc and lead, not to mention the gold mines in the area. During the height of the mining era, there were over 15 gold mines in the area of Mineral in Louisa County.
Prospectors looking for these rich minerals would often dig a small hole in the ground to bury explosives and then set it off. This hole looked like and was given the name of Coyote Hole, because it looked like the den that Coyotes would dig and call their home.
