[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 286672, member: 4386"] You are welcome (some things I have read people doing have made my hair stand on end, and I don't want people dying when they should be enjoying their prospecting). And I have had friends die, and friends and associates nearly die (and yes, in the early days I came close myself when I thought I was bulletproof). If you like going underground, join a caving club (caves are much more stable and you will be among people with good equipment and experience - I have tried it). If you want to see a mine, go on an organised trip - even some tourist mines can be good (eg the longer tour at Central Deborah, Bendigo, is quite good although very expensive). Operatong mines often have annual open days for the public. Wishfull, a series of checklists on different topics sounds useful (I have known people die winching vehicles, had a couple of people bitten by snakes while with me, known chainsaw accidents). I'm not jinxed, just worked around 50 years in the bush on many continents. [/QUOTE]
