Copper Copper that has been precipitated on a horse shoe.
Found in mill race of Old Dominion mine of Globe, Arizona.
We were caught in a summer thunder storm high up in the Pinal Mountains.
A Flooded stream blocked our way out.
Next morning no water was running and I found this shoe in the ditch.
Tin cans by the train loads are now used to catch copper in solution.
The Old Dominion has been worked out for many years. What fun it has been for me.
