Hi Jeff. I dug out foundations under existing homes in Seattle for 25 years. The best excavation tool I ever used in tight places was a shopvav. Bobcat makes a medium sized sewer vacuum that is trailer mounted. It is available with a remote start. You could move an incredible amount of dirt with that!

Jeff, you need a blower for digging down in the bottom to replace the bucket (basically a massive vacuum the Aussies use in the opal fields) it’ll make that digging way easier

Not to forget gas pockets , n over hangs in the tons . What u get is 1000% roughest conditions on the planet in the 1800s and 1900s . Underground required a special hard ass person for sure !

Very cool! Fortunate to have some great mining/mining history in CO. Researching how to obtain available claims and sampling areas that seem to have the right qualities - seems like it's everywhere here. Looking forward to spring again 👍

Wow! Nice dig, and I am impressed that you deal with being underground so easy.

Dayam - It has been awhile since I watched a video from inside the drift mine. Jeff has this mine fully kitted out... Ore carts, ore bucket hoists, the whole nine yards. This is an excellent educational series on how it is done. First class job!!!
