Rescuers led by a state Department of Natural Resources specialist who was familiar with the mine finally discovered a footprint early Monday afternoon and heard the boys yelling for help.

The searchers helped them out of the mine and reunited them with their parents. The boys weren't hurt aside from scratches, Schmidt said.

"It was a very sad situation that turned into a very joyous one," Schmidt said.
