County , North Carolina The Redmond Mine had been mined since the early 1900's for lead minerals. This mine shaft extends approximately 150 feet into the mountain. The first 30 feet or so is covered by water, at the rear of the tunnel another small tunnel turns to the left, here you will sometimes spot the mice that live in the mine.
