What is the meaning of this marker my son found on the Shangri La Lake? I believe it reads B.H. 810500

Went on a GMS hike last year and it was mentioned that it was a mining marker, I believe...

Is this the one you saw and are there others in the park?

That looks like the one that I saw, yes...

There is mining equipment a few spots in the park...at the end of Cracker Lake and the Josephine Mine on Grinnell Point...

B.H. Stands for Bull Head. That's the name of the mining claim. The number is probably the registered claim number.
