There are a few old mines up that way.
When you find Neffs you will know it. It is exactly as you described. A hole int he ground with a metal grate over it. |

Neff's is indeed gated, and what you saw was likely just a mine shaft. Just a few feet southeast of the center mark on the map Scott linked to is the USGS map symbol for an adit or mine entrance. I don't believe the cave itself is actually listed on the USGS map (I certainly can't see it on there anywhere). |
