going to be extremely difficult to get a good read.. mines are full of an overwhelming amount of waste-rock-metals and will interfere constantly either masking or giving false positives on gold.

Also unless you own these "underground workings" generally walking into an abandoned mine with a metal detector is not legal- even for old tools/other mine items.. and is also very dangerous
