“‘Yes, that is rich ore,’ Al agreed in what would prove to be an understatement. What Ed had found was an outcropping of ore six or seven inches wide and some forty to fifty feet long. In some places, this ore was so nearly pure silver that they could press a half-dollar into it, pull it out, and see an exact mirror-image likeness of the coin left behind.”

—Odie B. Faulk, on brothers Al and Ed Schieffelin. Ed was the discoverer of silver and gold on the land which they would name Tombstone, Arizona. From Tombstone: Myth and Reality, 1972.
