so cool I used to live in Superior way back in like 1956 or so Dad was a doctor at the Copper Queen Hospital if i remember correctly we used to find Apache Tears all the time. the cliff in the background was called Apache's Leap man that was a long time ago

My father grew up in Superior Arizona. As a child we would go out by Picket Post to look for the tears as well as Indian pottery pieces. We mostly found the clean smooth ones in the creek beds below the caves. According to my father, the Indian jumped off of the high Scarf wall to the east of Superior rather than Picket post. If you know where to look, you can find the grave of Wyatt Earps common law wife, Mattir Beylock out on the Desert between Superior and Picket Post nere the site of the old Town of Penesquitoes (sp)

You were standing the middle of Pinal City, once one of the biggest cities in Arizona in the 1880's. The cliff dwellings used to have wood frame windows and doors when lived in by miners. The mill processed the ore from the Silver King Mine about 15 miles NE.

Hey John I'd it's a mining claim made after 1984 than people have the right to walk on the claim they just aren't supposed to take minerals. Also claims are required to have claim markers , if it's private property there needs to be private property signs and there's not a single one.

​@@kimberlymoore28there is no signs and no fence and it has to be posted as no trespassing with signs every 100ft or if it's a mining claim made after 1984 than people have full rights to walk through and around it they just don't have mineral rights , I'm a gold miner in southern oregon with my own claims and claiming laws are the same everywhere in the west of America.
