There seems to be no mine up here on this hill

However, we see what looks like the roof of a shed straight ahead way down in the canyon below. It looks like the shed has sunk, or perhaps collapsed, leaving just the roof intact.

There's also another shed or outbuilding further down the canyon, to the right.

We figure that must be the old lead mine area down there, so we get back in the SUV and go back down to look for it.
