do you happen to know where the big cave is on victorio mountian near deming, its called Arvel's Marvel but i don't know exactley where it is. Also if you want to see a cool mine go check out hilltop mine in las cruces, im pretty sure its on nasa land but it is so fun to go in if you don't get caught lol

How about the quality of the air. Any risk of poison gases?

What is the possibility of a cougar leaving inside de cave or any animal that could have attacked you?

Good video, I explored that mine growing up there in the early 80's and remember vividly how the ladder twisted. It looked much scarier looking up. We had been told that there were long horizontal runs and maybe 10 foot vertical drops so we took a ladder. We got to that first drop and foolishly went down. there was a little pit down there, but no more vertical drops. My friend told me to go back up the ladder first. I was happy to. Thanks for posting the video.

Neat video - I'd like to see something like that!
Yes, I did take my metal detector in there with me. No gold, just old nails.

Hi yousquid :) I'd really love to know more about this place & where it's located. I'm in New Mexico and would LOVE to visit this mine. VERY cool. :)

It's near the base of the southernmost of the Tres Hermanas mountains (Three Sisters) about 25 miles south of Deming. Keep in mind, New Mexico mines have claimed many lives over the years. These mines are subject to collapse from simple things such as vibrations from foot-steps or talking! There are rattlesnakes in there, too. I suggest staying out of there. Now that I know the dangers, I have not gone in since I made the video.
