Exploring a Lost Silver Mine in the Shawnee National Forest

I've uploaded a higher quality video with color correction and the ending, it will be much more enjoyable. https://youtu.be/YsiYIpwtGfo I go on a hike to the Lost Silver Mine of Southern Illinois located very close to Old Stoneface in Saline County. I'm invited by two local history buffs, Brian DeNeal of Springhouse magazine and Mark Alan. Brian planned to drop his GoPro down the well tied to a cord and see what was down there. It was a hot and humid walk over some challenging terrain with a bit of bushwhacking but we found the Mine and successfully sent the remote camera down. www.springhousemagazine.com
