Absolutely! Get some samples from around the outside, as well as from the caved material, and if you can safely knock a chunk or two from those areas of color in the walls, do it.
See if you can get your hands on some detailed geologic maps of this area. Be sure they illustrate fault structures, and geologic contact lines.
I think you're right about there being standing water behind that cave-in. Probably not too much or else that caved pile would be saturated, and might breach from the hydrostatic pressure. Man, I really wonder how far back that goes though.....It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Another view of the entrance. You can see how it would hold water.
Thanks for the insight, rockgremlin. I'll keep you posted.

Any way you could PM me a Google location of where this is? I'm dying to do a little research about this place.

Some remnants of the mining operation down at the year-round creek below the mine.

It was harsh, and I apologize, kiwi outdoors. I read it wrong. Way out of line on my part.
Sorry, bud.

I think It could even be covered by a couple inches of dirt and disguise it, so just watch your step buddy. but again, if it's all water not like you're going to fall into a pit or anything.
