Sorry, I don't have any idea on any mines in the area.

But I've been researching the mines out in New Mexico and the abandoned 100 foot mine shafts out in the middle of nowhere. Just ready for someone to fall into. Real creepy stuff.

You're lucky if they're only a hundred feet. I know of one in NM that's seven hundred feet to the water level, then three hundred feet of water. There are many, many more out there- the state of New Mexico doesn't have the money to destroy all the historic sites, only those where dumbass teenagers fall down a five-hundred-foot vertical shaft.

There's also a flooded shaft in MO that's got nearly 1500 feet of water and a solid concrete collar, but it has a (removable) cover.

If you don't mind :) I'll keep what info u share to myself for security and safety reasons
