Near a Gem Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Balayang: I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, HarderTas, requesting additional time.

An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

Geocache Description:

This cache lies near the entrance of an abandoned mine. The mine is carved out of solid rock and extends for about 100 metres into the mountain side. If you do venture in side you will need a torch and don't be put off by the little bit of water near the entrance as it is dry after the first 5 metres.

The mine shaft is over 100 years old and was dug in seach of gold. Some pioneers found some gold in the glacial rock at the bottom of the mountain range and went in search for its origin. The mine was not very successful but this entrance is one of many layers to this site.
