Mine Info

Satelite View

The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments

Comment (Deposit): THE DENNY ZINC WAS EXAMINED UNDER DMEA DOCKET 1450X IN 1951. IT WAS DELETED FROM MILS BECAUSE IT IS THE SAME PROPERTY AS THE WHITE CAT.
