As it so happens I'm from northern WI, Boulder Junction, and my wife is from the UP, Bessemer, MI. Your grandmother's family any were near those areas?

Your subject line sort of threw me on the account of being spelled the same but pronounced differently (as far as I have heard it said) as something else. I was trying to figure out how you made those out of wood, and used the backyard without the neighbors complaining, but I see now. Either pronunciation, sounds like a good weekend afternoon.

My recollection from southern WI is 'pass tees'.

Mining area for a different metal(lead) long ago.

There are two places in the "Valley" that are Cornish Pasty restaurants. One is in Tempe, and the other is here in Mesa. I haven't been into either one.

I'm not sure of the exact towns, I know they originally went to La Crosse in the 1800's and then moved NE into the wilderness. The Depression scattered most of my family tree around the country, and that particular branch wound up in Detroit by WWII.
