Hello this is my first post here. I live in Buckeye with the white tank mountains in my back yard. I do a lot of single track dirt biking in the white tanks, and then all the mountains over by lake pleasant in Morristown. While riding in a wash in Morristown I seen a small opening in this over grown area along the rock walls. Went back week later and it ended up being a trail that went up into the mountains rarely road. Looking at my phone maps I could see what looked like mines and once up there I did find 4 mines 2 vertical shafts and 2 horizontal shafts.
Now the 2 things that I found off the trail at the top of the mountain was a mine that when in there the walls were like a white chalky rock. Wasn’t to deep about 20ft I would say. Then next to it up a little more was a rock that was mined out that might of been for gem stones or something. I have known about this area for like 2 years and hope someone can help give me more information on what I’m looking at mine wise and what was possibly mined from the rocks.
I also have a mine lab equinox 800. While riding all these trails and some trails old goat trails that we adventure out onto. I have found some crazy spots of quarts coming out of the ground.
Pictures and videos of what I have will be up loaded. I will try and highlight on the map where These areas are.
