Entering abandoned mines is not recommended.
Remember that these places are old and can be extremely dangerous. For this reason only those with the proper gear and experience should enter an abandoned mine or tunnel. Read more in the link below:

Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints. Last of all, have fun, don't be an ass, and be safe!
