[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 472028, member: 3820"] I've worked in the natural gas industry for 15 years now performing maintenance work and break downs in gas regulator pits and line valve pits under ground, they are purpose built pits to be worked in and wear harnesses and have tripods for fall arrest, we do confined space training every 12 months as well as the rest, CPR, BA, rescue, Fire etc etc....... I work in confined spaces most days and have no issues getting into tight confines spaces with the right equipment. Love prospecting and exploring on my days off but for the life of me you wouldn't catch me in an old mine, simply because of the unknowns inside. Work is predictable but old mines aren't, best advice is like others have said, best to stay out of them unless you really know what you're doing in there, by the time you realise something is not right it'll be to late to get out, a few small scraps of gold is simply not worth it.
