A mine is a ground firework that expels stars and/or other garnitures into the sky. It can produce fan shaped blasts of color in a sudden burst or eruption. Mines are spectacular to watch, but are short-lived. Usually preceded by a small fountain which builds up the anticipation of the sudden eruption.
Fireworks were invented in ancient China in the 17th century to scare away evil spirits, as a natural extension of one of the Four Great Inventions of ancient China, gunpowder. China is the largest manufacturer and exporter of fireworks in the world.
Fireworks are a class of explosive pyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. Fireworks (devices) take many forms to produce the four primary effects: noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (ex.; confetti). They may be designed to burn with colored flames and sparks including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver. Fireworks are generally classified as to where they perform, either ground or aerial.
Typical cemetery cache, so NO NIGHT CACHING and, as always, be respectful of the area.
