While watching a YouTube video on gold mining I stumbled on this story about vintage Levi jeans. I have no intentions of ever exploring an abandoned mine but for many this is thier adventure in life.
Apparently there is a market for original used Levi jeans the miners wore from the 1800's. Naturally the condition dictates the amount but they have paid thousands just for the buttons from a rotted pair.
Most gold mining occurs in dry arid climates so if the mine is dry they could last 100 years, not sure about the damp coal mines in PA but for a half million just for jeans its worth investigating. I bet that there is at least one stada baba racing for the attic to check on grandpa's chest in the attic. Start your own adventure 😀
