Exploring Enormous Copper Mine In Georgia

Type: Interesting

Description:
Me and my brother explored the HUGE old copper/pyrite mine right on the bank of the chestatee river that makes you feel small. We went In with Super bright lights and explored the whole thing; then we walked the old automobile bridge from the early 1900's. This mine started in 1850 as a copper mine but turned into a pyrite mine in the early 1900's cause it wasn't profitable for copper. Then they quarried it out for stone and that's when it really got big in the 1920's. They stopped mining not too long after.
