Great video, it brings many memories of the mines I explored here in western Washington, the vid was awesome but what brought it back to me was sounds of being in the mine, only those who been in that situation would know it, thanks

It's a different world down there ET! You are right about the different sounds. The left side tunnel has really muffled sound because of the softer wallrock. When I go into the right flank there is a bit more of an echo. Movement, calm, breath, it's all different. You,re in a miniature encapsulated world, it's truly exciting!

That was fun. I'm ready for more!

I'm glad Wildminer! Me too! I'm actually planning on doing a little series of all that I do down there. We found gold and have plans to do some more exploration and development. Cheers!

Very cool! Im excited to see more. I just moved out to Colorado springs a couple of months ago. I was thinking about joining the colorado gold camp club. I was wondering about access this time of year. Is the season pretty much over for a guy to do some detecting and panning?

Joining the club is a great idea. Some of the best placer gold in CO. I’m a member. It’s pretty frozen up there now but you can do a little digging down in metro Denver through the winter while you wait.
