Mining

[pickaxe]

Couldn't think of a better description than that. Sometimes I just do a google search and go page after page reading or checking out images. Find some pretty interesting stuff, like this round robin of mining info in different states. Some truly amazing things have been mined in our past. Like Iron ore from Minnesota so rich chunks of it could be welded together! And the copper miners in Michigan driving onto a chunk of native copper that weighed 530 TONS. Makes good late winter reading so I thought it should be shared.
