Mines and Mysteries: Exploring a Connecticut Copper Mine

Описание к видео Mines and Mysteries: Exploring a Connecticut Copper Mine

In this episode we explore the Tallman Mine, a copper mine worked in the years just prior to the Revolutionary War. The mine was located only 10 miles north of the New Haven mint (built in 1785) and was said to have supplied some copper for America's first circulating coin: the Fugio Penny. As we explore the tunnels we gain an insight into how copper was mined in the late 18th century.
