Hi Ernie and Jonathon. Thanks for showing the wonderful mining history of your area. I love looking at all of the mineralization you see in the shafts... I too wonder the same things (what did they find, why did they stop,) etc. Another really well produced video. Cheers!
Thank you very much Grant! A lot of work happened here back in the day. Several days ago I spoke with the Old Timer Joey and showed him both those mines. He didn’t have any history on them, but he told me of one shaft that I’m familiar with and that is very close to the Sketchy Mine and it is surrounded by a very tall chain link fence that produced gold. He told me when Hans Lund retired their friends would go and pull out gold from that shaft. Well, you know me, I’m going to check it out and see if there is anyway possible for me to get inside there 😜 I hope you and your crew can make it out here one day.
Nice video Ernie! Be safe in there. The danger was the loose rock slabs overhead. They look like they are ready to fall with just a sneeze! Good gold hunting! Take care and God bless.
