Tailing piles?

With MTU not doing any of the sponsored digs this year I was wondering if we could be pointed anywhere to legally metal detect for copper? Appreciate any help.

First time in Keweenaw and first time detecting!

Hi all, I’m visiting here for a week and brought a metal detector with me just for fun. What are some good spots for amateurs? And tips?

Love that this sub exists!!

By chance, has anyone ever found pictures of the old Arnold Mine when it was in operation or when buildings were still standing? MTU and the Keweenaw County Historical Society have nothing.

I've been working on an article on the mine and wanted to try and include a historic image of the site. So far all I've found was a really rough picture of the dry house in the Monette booklet and Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps at the Library of Congress. Has anyone had luck finding a pic of it before? Im especially interested in the rockhouse or the boiler/hoisthouse.

A few nodules I recently finished. The one in the middle is an odd-ball!
