2 Pro Mine your own business ;-)

I love abandon places, mines in particular. Many are in State parks and are off limits to drones, but here are a few that were OK to shoot.

1st photo: Abandon Chloride mine... can't remember where
2nd photo: Abandon mining area - Coaldale, NV
3rd photo: Argo Mine - off of I-70 in Colorado. Now a guided tourist attraction.
4th photo: The "Glory Hole" used to be called the "richest square mile on earth" - 50 miles of tunnels within one square mile. When it closed down they blew up the place and it cratered into the pit you see now. We used to explore the area when we we were kids - no fences back then!
5th Photo: Madonna Mine near monarch Pass, CO

Nice shots and short history lesson. Thanks for sharing.

The Madona Mine, I swear, was used in the game Red Dead Redemption 2!
