Isn't that a 1957 or 58 Plymouth ? Always liked the cars with the big fins in that period of time . .

Taking metal from old mines is nothing new. A few decades ago, while searching for bottles and artifacts around a Calaveras County mine, we came upon some really nice ore carts. With the aid of my trusty jeep we were able to pull out six of them. They were removed and sold one at a time, as time allowed. The owner of the property had no idea what was down there in that canyon. 1850s and 60s bottles were laying on top of the ground, but I didn't admit to that. He was very happy with his proceeds from the ore cart sales.
