Yes, I have. I stumbled upon an old mine while hiking some of our local mountains. It was really cool. We didn't go too far, because nothing was marked and it was very eerie. I remember going home and researching what was mined locally. I was surprised to find that we had mined something unusual, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was.

I have actually seen quite a few mines. I have been to a few old mining ghost towns, and I remember the gold mines up your way. We also stumbled on a few while hiking over the years. Mining in California is a very cool subject. I think I found it interesting the things we mined here besides gold.

No.  We do however have lots of great caves around here.  In fact they have this giant cave out here. They not only do cool tours but it has this amazing zip line in the cave.

When I was a kid I lived in an area with a lot of old gold mines.  We explored most of them.  I look back and think "What a bunch of little idiots".
