Drill Bit - Grants, New Mexico.

"In the mining industry, it's a fact of life and a philosophy: everything starts with a hole in the ground. Ask any miner from the earth-hardened veteran of twenty to thirty years underground to the rugged young roustabout with the razor cut hair style under his hard hat.
Uranium, coal, gold, silver, diamonds, copper and a myriad of other exotic metals, minerals and gems from the original hole in the ground are released to flow up and out in the world to become the wealth of nations.
Very few places in the world recreate the raw and often dangerous conditions of the hole in the ground re-created in Grants, New Mexico, in "one of the few Uranium Mining Museums in the World." Text Source" (visit link)
