United States, Arizona, Yavapai County, Bradshaw Mountains, Big Bug District, Poland, Lynx Creek, Accidental
Mine
The Accidental Mine is a gold mine and is located deep within the
Bradshaw Mountains. The mine is very hard to access. It requires a 3 mile hike up hill and the mine entrance is hidden
in brush. The main shaft of the mine is about half a mile long and the first 500 feet is flooded. There are still mine
cart tracks and some buildings but most are ruins. We detected carbon monoxide in this mine and had to leave before further
exploring.
