Strange Opening

[Uncle Buck]

Hi All,

I hope I posted this in the right forum. Many years ago as a child, I would walk the creek banks near where I live and I think I may have found something, just not sure what. It is a 6x6 opening in the side of a creek bank, near the top of the bank, it looks man made, it is a hole going back into the creek bank, not just a hole a square opening made with lumber like a drainage opening or someting. Any ideas. Thank and HH

Where are you located...that would give you an indication whether its a mine.
Is it an entrance to a root cellar?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. I live in Louisiana, there were no homes places near there or anything that I know of.
Maybe, it is part of a hollowed out beam and part of the Murrells caves in these neck of the woods. Thx for your reply. HH

If it goes back down below water level be careful...there might be a gator sleepin in the mud.

Out here we have holes like that where the Chinese would tunnel along bedrock following the paystreak. pretty dangerous work, this is in the gold mining districts of course.


Ummm, any chance there USED to be a homestead closeby? Maybe the house was built on rock for stability and they couldn't dig a cellar, so this was it? Or maybe some sort of test hole? Anything naturally occuring that is valuable in the area? Just a couple guesses....

I would have to know what is in there. But thats just me.
