Any ideas?

Post by redox »

What are these? They are in close proximity to a surface sand mining operation. Could they be tunnel entrances?

Not sure how far back they go from the picture, but they kinda look like the beginnings of a room and pillar mine. Where is this about?

Maybe I'm looking at them wrong, but they look filled in.

About 45 minutes south of St Louis. PANIC!, pm me if you want the exact location. I'm interested in making a little trip down there one weekend. There's other really interesting stuff in the area.

That absolutely makes sense. When I was looking at them they looked more like trash dumpsters or something of that sort that were just stuck in the entrances and then filled in with the rock inside and all around. Wasn't sure why. But the entrances make much more sense.

I wasn't unsure at all. I've been around a few mines.

I would be VERY surprised if my intuition was wrong that they are entrances.

I too thought those were dumpters or trailers at the entrances. Upon closer inspection, I see the doors Sneaky pointed out, leading me to believe there is something they don't want us to see in there. Like the cliffs they shove everyone into in a doomsday scenario like in Deep Impact. That's most likely it. My intuition says so. My intuition isn't an asshole like the bum's above me.

Dude, they look like mine entrances that have a door slapped on them with some fill piled around.
