My guess is corroborated. Intake correct?Quote:

You can also see the different soils and rocks as it gets deeper...and it gets dark! I have to figure a way to edit the videos and post them.
So it's a breeding box for fish ?
Pretty sure it's a well or something to do with an old gold mine. It was about 50' deep.
Well aren't square, weir boxes are though and I don't ever remember seeing a Silver or Gold mine looking like that, But an Intake filled with rock to keep fish out makes more sense to me.Quote:

Upload it to youtube, post up the link on here...Quote:

This is right where the old town of Mormon Island is located. More than likely this thing dates back to the 1800's.

The videos are 200+ megs. Mrs. Daytona will be home soon and she's good at this stuff. I'll have it posted a little later.Quote:
