Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 12 named mine sites inside the county, 6 of them worked out or abandoned. The minerals the records name are construction sand and gravel; Stone; Granite; Stone, Crushed/Broken.
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. No abandoned mine inventory is published online.
