Searching for Lost Mines in Southern Minnesota
In the late 1800s, there was something of a mining boom along the Minnesota River. Prospectors claimed to have found gold, as well as coal, and mining companies began digging for these minerals. Not much was ever produced, and several of the mines were likely investment swindles, but the mining did leave some ruins behind. I took a look to see what I could find from these historic operations.
