I am not a diver,,but I have an interesteing possiblity for a very experienced diver...
On our property is a mine shaft that was used to pump water out of the rest of the working mine...The entrance to the mine is 8 feet wide,,by 15 feet accross.and drops down to approxamtely 90 feet,,(measured with a string)..The working entrance,,which was filled in is a couple of hundred feet away..I do not know if a lateral exsists..or any of the conditions..The water is cold,,50 degree's or so...
It was sauk countys largest working iron mine,,It was last used in the early 1900's...
so it is around 100 years since anyone has been down there...
I myself an curiuos if rails,,or anything else is still down in the mine..
I have attached a link showing an article on the mine...
The property is located in southern wi,,about an hour north of madison wi...article
