Cache is a coffee can painted black and contains MANY goodies including a postcard which is good for a free mine tour. The cache is almost a drive by and was placed with mine owners Tom and Lani Poynter assistance and permission. It IS NOT UNDERGROUND.
Operating from 1847 til 1887 this authentic historic mine offers a walking tout that takes you 100 feet below ground to explore one of the earliest mines to operate during the country's first major mining boom. You will see pure veins of copper exposed in the mine along with other geological interests.
At this same site you can enjoy walking trails, picnic facilities, a deer pen, model train displays featuring G scale, HO and 7 ,1/2 gauge, mining displays, and a deer pen.
No admission charge is required to access the cache.
