Here is the road that leads to the Greyhawk Mine, in Bancroft. The road can be reached by turning east onto Grey Hawk Mine Court road from highway 28. The road after the gate will come to a T intercection with the road on the right going to the mine dumps, and the road on the left to someones backyard.

Here is the first mine dumps in the Greyhawk Mine Area. The dark rock on the left looks like some kind of schist. The rock on the right looks like rotten feldspar.

Here are all 3 dumps, they are located on the left side of the road from the T after the gate. There is a marsh beside them.

Here is a wide shot of the building ruins, you can see the concrete floor continuing for some distance.

Here is a closeup of the second dumps. Northeast of the ATV trail.

Here is some structural ruins tight of the mine gate entrance. They are probably from the mine workings.

Here is the road on the right side of the dumps. On the bottom is the entrance to this road.

Here is the marsh beside the mine.

Here is a radiation scan i am getting on my geiger counter. The reading reads 0.55 microsvierts per hour. The scan was taken in front of the first 2 dumps.

Here are some building foundations. Located in the woods west of the ATV trail.

Here is me with the first dumps, just west of the ATV trail.

More than enough rock piles will keep one busy all day Circa 2009 - 2012 Please see my #28 article "Radioactive Reality II: “Bancroft Area: Radioactive Mineral Sites”

Across the grassy field the ruins Circa 2009 - 2012 Please see my #28 article "Radioactive Reality II: “Bancroft Area: Radioactive Mineral Sites”

Even with trees sprouting up around them, the structures are still sound Circa 2009 - 2012 Please see my #28 article "Radioactive Reality II: “Bancroft Area: Radioactive Mineral Sites”

Though it does not look like it, we are standing on a very large concrete slab, most likely the floor of a very large structure. Circa 2009 - 2012 Please see my #28 article "Radioactive Reality II: “Bancroft Area: Radioactive Mineral Sites”

The Former GreyHawk Uranium Mine is heavily overgrown but only semi-rehabilitated. Circa 2009 - 2012 Please see my #28 article "Radioactive Reality II: “Bancroft Area: Radioactive Mineral Sites”

Trees coming up through cracks in the floor Circa 2009 - 2012 Please see my #28 article "Radioactive Reality II: “Bancroft Area: Radioactive Mineral Sites”
