Details: This is the huge copper mine. According to the Travel Channel's Treasure Wiki Arizona Page, the site tour lets you sift through a tailing pile at the end of the tour. It's probably worth it just to see the mine and its operations. Information on the tour is at this link.
Directions: Drive south from Tucson on HWY 19 and take exit 80 Pima Mine Road.
