Awsome cool find. I would not share it with the Lagenas brothers.

If you look very carefully about 3 feet to the right of the metal ring and maybe a foot above it you will see what looks like a very tiny arrow with a right angle and in it pointing down. Almost looks like graphics added to the picture but there is a small blade of grass going across it on the end. Does anybody else see it and have a clue what it is?

My guess this is a test pit for a mine and the metal ring is some form of leftover mining equipment. A lot of copper mines in that area and few iron and gold as well. The stone is to shore up the entrance so it does not collapse.

With that said I would be careful about going in. I doubt it would collapse but certainly would not try without a few friends, safety helmit, rope, and shovels. Probably through a few lit torches and a couple of fire crackers in first to see what happens. When you go back, check the spider webs carefully and see if they are disturbed which would indicate the presence of a larger animal.
Can some highlight where the metal ring is, my old eyes aren’t seeing is.

Just to the left of my red circle above. 6" ring, I was looking for wagon tire or barrel ring.
Did you find the Katana yet😎

and my tiny arrow is just outside SeabeeRon's ring at the 1 oclock position. You really have to zoom in on it to see it.

Compared to the rocks in the distance of the 1st pic some of those near the opening are nearly flat on more than one face. I'm not familiar w/ rocks in that area - but they look quarried. Wonder if the cave is a former quarry...

Did you search the area around the entrance with metal detectors? You might find some items that could give you a clue as to what the cave is for...
