As Mine tunnels go

This one is safe and easy. No holes in the floor or winzes to fall into. No open stopes above you caving in. Its in solid granite.
Extensive single level Mine. Couple of drifts following veins of copper and silver ore. Anything else they found they discarded out of the tunnel. In a huge pile of waste rock tumbling down the mountain. Thats where you find some good crystals and rocks. If it didnt have the precious metal they wanted it was tossed out.

Looks straight out of a movie.

I’ve found a bunch of garnets in the tellings of an abandoned mine close to me. It’s amazing what they discarded in these old mines

@HeavenBesideYou Too bad they arent bigger clusters. Always small pockets

@icedsky Still!! So much fun to find them! We don’t have anything like that around here

@HeavenBesideYou Maybe not but youve got plenty of other stuff to find. Ive got to travel a few hours to get garnets. And even then they arent all that great. Biggest is about a quarter inch across.
I would like to spend a week there, just hanging out.😍

The deepest I have been was 900m below ground.

@Reflection2 far out of my driving range
@icedsky it's active mine. You just can go in there unless you are a geologist 😛

They get really good money at Southeastern Massachusetts rock and mineral shows for crystals like the ones in your collection.

Is there a money pit? Templar gold??
icedsky · 51-55, M
@Fullmetal no money pit or templar gold here. Lots of copper ore with a small amount of silver.

@icedsky still cool! Great pics too!!

Nice pictures 📸
and you can just go in?

@deathfairy a short hike up the tailing pile and walk right in. Not all mines are safe to go into. Need to do a lot of research before going into any mines.
