Hi , I found this site whilst looking at Mine explorer websites.
I come from the far southwest of england(cornwall) We have been mining tin and copper since Roman times so our whole county is riddled with disused workings.
I have been looking at old mines for about 15 years now and most of my trips involve rappeling the shafts to gain access,recently have been experimenting in diving some of the shallower flooded winzes.
I have visited Jerome in AZ and was amazed how much is still left of your mining history but i could see no evidence of underground explorers so it was great to find your splendid website and the fantastic gallery you guys have !
Im hoping to get back over to the Utah area in the summer so any tips for mine visits would be cool.
cheers Pat
