Wow! Must be awesome to have such a big piece of California gold rush history on your property!
Pick yourself up a Tesoro lobo and see what you can find!
I live in Kelsey and these are all over the place. We have 2; one we’ve found the other is still hidden in the brush. With the price of gold over $900 an ounce, I”m surprised the park Lotus isn’t crawling with tourists.
Stay safe… always have a 3rd person who stays out who can call for help if something happens.
well, what you dont see is that those holes can go down 100,s of feet. and even though the look like its only a puddle its deep. plus once you fall in the bad thing that can happen is the sides of the shaft can colapes from the vibration. old mines are sensative to that. but on the other side if you walk over a shaft that has a boarded cover of it the timeber may give way. dont get me wrong i think mine exsploring is cool. just be safe as you do it. p.s. keep in mind bad air conds..too.have fun
If there was a hole going down, wouldn’t all the water flow out the bottom of it? And if not, then we would just be swimming, so it doesn’t seem so dangerous to me. What am I missing?
i agree with the above statement! ive been in mines before and you can easly walk over a cat shaft ..made for ventalation going up or down. be very carefull but i would like to see what you come up with p.s. use better lighting please!!!
you need to be carful some times they dig a shaft straight down where you walking in the middle of the tunnel.get a metal detector ond check those taillings piles first.
