Is an old working under a property here?

The USGS mineral file records 510 named mine sites inside the county, 381 of them worked out or abandoned; the USGS topographic mine features add 4,110 features mapped inside the county, 659 of them shafts, adits or tunnels, digitised from the old survey sheets. The minerals the records name are Silver; Gold; Barium-Barite.

A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area.
