Back about 5 or 6 years ago I was on an elk hunt in New Mexico with a member of this forum. We were taking an afternoon lunch break in a clearing on the side of a mountain with Greely Peak in the background which is the highest mountain in New Mexico. Post card background.After lunch, he had some "bidness" to attend to and excused himself to go over the ridge. When coming back he had looked under a shelf of rocks and spotted the metal end of a worn shovel and a cast iron skillet. There had been a gold strike there back in the day with lots of relics still around, but this was one miners stash thinking he would be back another day, and apparently didn't.I cautioned George to not use it as back in the day, they melted lead to make bullets in the same skillet they cooked food in later the same day unless it was tested.</blockquote>
