After reading this comment, I just had to comment with some information I knew about that could [i]possibly[i] link your SS find with another mine. Maybe it's nothing.
The Sierra Estrellas are one of the least known mountains in Maricopa County. For years, I heard rumors about an old stone house on the southern face of the mountains. From what little information posted online, the person who runs a website called BrazilBrazil had been to this house when he was a child and stated that National Geographic showcased it in one of their magazines in the 30s. The website shows the article.
Apparently, not many hikers are aware of it and it's not listed on the Hike Arizona website - imagine that. So I went out there and found the house. The rock house is claimed to have been built in the 1740s. No documentation on this. As you can see in the pics below, the creator of that website wrote in a ledger at the stone house. Pretty interesting.
The reason I'm commenting is that according to the guy's father who had been to this site in the 50s, there was a rock that had a German sign on it. I found that rock. Again, that Brazil website talks about this...Look below. Just kinda ironic that your find and the rock at the Sierra Estrella site are connected to Nazi Germany. Maybe the symbol below has deeper history in North America than Germany? Maybe it's not an SS symbol but native american?
Next to the house is a well and a mine shaft. The shaft is totally collapsed in and full of dirt. Why is this house here and what were they digging for? Especially out in the Estrellas.
