I've been in that mine but have not gone down the winze. Was all of this video from the main level with the adit? If so I must have missed a turn in there. Or was it if you continued past the winze? I didnt go past it oddly enough, kind of forgot to walk over there after staring down the ladder so long. Looking forward to seeing what's down the winze because I havent been down there so it would be great to see
@spinningcompassoutdoors5 ай бұрын
Yeah everything that was covered was from the main level. Past the winze didn't go anywhere. Was some other areas worth checking out. Next video should be exciting.

I'm not too sure about the information on this one. I do know it was mainly a gold mine with some silver. The incline shaft connected to a much larger mine further down. It was probably mined in the late 1800s

Nice explore! Definitely up close and personal! I know you can’t give the name of the mine, but could you give the area? Too many places in CO that had gold, and I just want to get an idea where this is. If you can’t, I understand; BLM has a nasty habit of ‘removing access’ to mines people can get into. But it was a cool explore, and the first of your videos I have seen. Thanks for taking me & the other viewers along! (Yeah, I’m subscribing!)
