About an hour outside Ketchum, wandering off trail in the hills I found this can. I haven’t seen a roll lid tin can since maybe the early 80’s.

I found no information about the mine, looks like it was an old exploratory mine that was abandoned eons ago. Mines near Ketchum, Idaho, primarily produced silver, lead, and zinc, drawing a mining boom to the Wood River Valley in the late 1800s until the 1980s.
