A possible copper specimen. 74.5 troy ounces. Measures 10"x 5." Copper ore was discovered in the forgotten town of Ludwig in the 1860s, but it wasn't until the turn of the century that mining companies and people began moving to the area. Almost a thousand people lived and worked at Ludwig until 1914, when activity waned. They began mining gypsum in the 1940s but by 1960 most everything was gone. -60303
