Eye candy! (drooling)

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Like Patty, if they're in your way, I'll take some off your hands. Jim

Some cabs from some of the copper and silver ore I have dug up.

These are from 3 different locations. One requires a high clearance type vehicle. The second is easy to drive to, but a steep hike up to the mine. And the third is relatively easy to drive to and an even longer steep hike.

There is another mine I would like to get back to an explore some other levels if I can find someone who wants to go and knows how to use climbing gear. This is what I pulled from that mine.

Yeah, I'm not sure they were up for driving around and hiking/climbing haha. Those are some beautiful finds. Copper anything is really cool in my opinion. If you ever get there with climbing gear please post some pictures. I need to get out and collect at some of my favorite spots.
