Above we see the old Coffey House.. Miner's lived here while working the Crow's Nest goldmine in late 1800s.
The abandoned Crow's Nest gold mine is the longest known in Nova Scotia! Extreme caution is recommended in exploring this hazardous area. Some mine shafts (open cuts) go straight down. Some are marked with warning signs and some aren't. Use a staff or canoe paddle to test before you step, don't enter the shafts, & don't go alone!
Explore this mine complex safely by watching a remarkable two-part video series made recently by experienced mine hunters. See Crow's Nest Part One & Crow's Nest Part Two. Each is about 23 minutes in length, so sit back and prepare to be astonished by what you see.
The Crows Nest area has long been home to black bears. Keep this in mind in winter & spring as bears may hibernate in these mine shafts!
