Do we have any coal miners on the forum?

I've worked underground coal, gypsum, copper, zinc and marble. Coal can be the most dangerous if your dealing with methane and coal dust and if so it only takes one on the crew to screw up and ruin everyone's day. Liking any underground work depends on the individual. I for one enjoyed working underground as you see your accomplishments every day. You are somewhat in control of your working environment. You don't have to worry about the weather. Your shift seems to go by quickly as you have few if any outside influences. These are just some of the positives. I'm sure others can come up with more negatives.
