Headed to the Upper Peninsula next week to visit family and on the property is a old mine from late 1800 to about 1902.
Shaft is flooded and gated but my question is, should I scout the area for where winter/water runoff would happen over thousands of years and dig down to see if I can find any gold or would that even be worth while?
The mine and visible vein sits on the South face of a small hill of bedrock.
There is a lot of quartz tailings around the mine but it wasn't hugely profitable and I can bring rock sample back home to crush over the winter.
