(3D Model) Montezuma's Mine Second Mine Utah

I am learning that LiDAR scanning in mines and tunnels is VERY difficult.  I spent a good amount of time going very slow and methodical and I’m still not 100% satisfied with the results.  Yet, I think this gives you a good idea on what this second mine tunnel looks like.

To me, these tunnels have some elements of being both natural and manmade.  There are some clues that suggest these mines were dug by small hand tools and not by drills.

This mine doesn’t go in very far and it ends at a short mine shaft that drops maybe 12 or 13 ft.  There is a side entrance and you can see that in the scan as well.

This mine is historically significant as it’s the supposed location for Aztec gold that was moved here when Spanish Conquistadors were invading the Aztec homeland in modern day Mexico.

Great Job for one of your first tries at this. Doing a tunnel is probably a lot trickier than a flatter wall panel filled with art. I cannot wait to see how you do with petroglyphs. Keep up the good work!
