Where can you find copper in Arizona?

There is an open pit mine near the Globe/Miami area in Arizona. There is also an Apache tears mine there. I've been to both. I don't know if they still do it, but at the Apache tears mine, many years ago, you paid a dollar and they gave you a bucket. You had to mine the rocks yourself. There are other copper mines in AZ.
