I've thought about it, but many of these old mines have active claims, and while it is not illegal here to explore them, it is illegal to take samples, as that is considered mining.

Do you think somebody dug that opening in the tunnel ceiling that you dropped down into or was that natural erosion? I would guess that it was deliberately dug by somebody because the portal was backfilled. Cool video, Nick!

Thanks! I’m not sure about the hole. It looked natural, but it could easily have been dug out. Who knows.

Well Nick and Mrs finding mines and ruins is a great adventure hunt but seeing a hole in to a hill side or a shaft that goes down into the Earth to me is a whole new adventure into the unknown and following the tunnels or incline's that is a heart pounding discovery with lots of what ifs .Enjoy it all ⛏️see you later maybe even a 💰someday 🤔🏆🇺🇸

Dude, if I could do what you do, there wouldn't be any mine I went into, that if there were any remnants left of the ore they were digging out, I would be grabbing myself at least a sample of it! I can see by the remnants of the Quartz that it held a high possibility of carrying Gold. The quarts vein with a significant about of Iron oxide in it, they say that "...Gold rides an Iron Horse." and that vein looked perfect for gold content. I wonder what the percentage of gold content was. :) Thanks for sharing!

Good question, I wish I knew. As it is, many of these old mines still have active claims, and so I cannot legally take samples from them.

Yes, a cool little mine. That fault wall (right side going in) being VERY clear thru the middle, has a lot to do with how that shaped the mine. I noticed how it disappeared as you went closer to the face, the way the rock changes back there tells me either the vein played out or they lost it. However, that pile of waste rock says there has to be more in that are. It looks like way too much for that short a run, wouldn't you agree. Good catch of the view behind you at the end, btw!!

I think you're right about there being more out there. Problem is, we couldn't find other mines! Probably got closed in, like so many others.

@gregl2459 Well, here you can see really easily how that vien pinched out pretty quick; a fair way from the face to. That's the reason they didn't go further with way back when. Also notice how there's a clear fault wall near the vein, but as the mine continues, it couldn't be delineated anymore(the way rock becomes more solid at the face). Basically, the vien played out.
