Great video! Tons of info. 😌🙏🏼 I found one of those Carbide head lamps in a creek just outside of two California Gold mines when I was a kid. We knew it was an old mining lamp, but we didn’t know how it was powered.
I can't believe what these men went through 😳😵 candle light? 😫 I can't even. That looks and is, so dangerous. All the men hurt or that even lost there lives and earning diddly squat 😢
Michigan was used in Egypt thousands of years ago ? How did it get to Egypt ? How did corn from South America To Egypt ? How did the boomerang get to Egypt ?
Michigan and Ohio have a "war" over the Toledo Strip. Wisconsin lost. The amount of copper (along with iron ore) still present in the region has huge. But simply it is uneconomical to mine. Plus reopening mines in todays political and environmental landscape is likely a nonstarter. The copper used here had some usage as currency in pennies (1) but was likely much more important for was in Brass and Bronze alloys. Just where did the US get the required Zinc and Tin for these alloys. To my knowledge there is very little if any minable Tin deposits in the US. 1) The penny today is largely considered a nuisance by many was much more important economically in the 1800s.
Thanks nice Presentation ❤
