Hello from across the globe! It's fantastic to connect with a miner, especially one with experience in opal mining from Australia. I'm glad you found the exploration enjoyable, and I appreciate the support as a new subscriber!
Dave, you might be looking at different times the Mine was operated. First, the older working following the foot wall and the drift to left was looking at the hanging wall. 2nd operation time looks modern for the size. Either way, the values were too low. Note: You can see the fault walking up to the portal it looked like a very wide zone between the Hanging wall and foot wall.
Definitely a great observation; the different adit sizes reflect that the smaller tunnel is an older one, and the bigger portal section is newer. Unfortunately, the entire mining district wasn't too significant in history. From my research, nobody struck rich mining here like they did in certain parts of Nevada.
Very interesting mine. Some parts looked a bit sketchy! Thanks for taking us along.
Yeah some parts were kinda sketchy, but that's part of the fun! Thanks for watching!
Hello Dave glad that you found some mines to explore all ways nince adventures ⛏️🤔

@@DaveExploresYT My pleasure.
I would guess that the 2 hoses were 1 for water and the second for air. Both needed for drilling.

Do you know what they mined there? The rock looks like cinnabar that produces mercury.
Primary commodities were Silver and Lead. Secondaries were Gold, Copper and Zinc.
Looked like kind of a sloppy operation.
It seems that way. There were a lot of different mining periods within the district.
