What creators found, checked
From beta videos by bigger WoW creators. Each line sums up what the creator said at that moment of the video, and the badge says how it holds up against the game files.
Matches the files A cloth item linked from a Deadmines run (pants) reduces the crafting time of Smelt Copper, Tin and Bronze. It is a profession-utility item that stays useful at max level.
The files Smelting Pants 5199 (blue leather legs, req 16, +5 Spi +7 Sta) have the equip effect Improved Smelting 01 1291915: 'Reduces the crafting time of Smelt Copper, Smelt Tin, Smelt Bronze, and Smelt Silver by 25%.' It's a Deadmines item (QuestieDB: dropped by Gilnid), upgraded from green to blue, and leather rather than cloth.

Matches the files First Mate Band (Deadmines, 6 Str, 2 Sta) is half of a two-piece set with Band of the Better Half, a level-60 ring that can't be obtained yet. The 2-set bonus gives a chance on melee swing to gain 50 Strength for 10 sec, which might make this Deadmines ring usable at 60.
The files ItemSet 2131 'Partners in Crime' = First Mate Band 284715 (blue, req 17, +6 Str +2 Sta) + Band of the Better Half 284716 (epic, req 60, +18 Str +10 Sta +12 Expertise). 2pc: 'Chance on melee swing to become Angry, increasing Strength by 50 for 10 sec', plus a second 2pc bonus of +22 Strength.

Matches the files A Deadmines drop called a 'looky spyglass' is a trinket with +1 Spirit and a use effect that lets you look far into the distance.
The files Lookie's Spyglass 273298: trinket (InventoryType 12), Unique-Equipped (ItemSparse Flags_0 0x80000), +1 Spirit, req 18, use Longsight 12883 'Allows you to look far into the distance.' The Cookie source isn't in data.

Partly Cookie in Deadmines can drop a Tailoring chest pattern. Cookie Stirring Rod is a 22.3 DPS wand with fire resistance, and Cape of the Brotherhood also dropped. The pattern sold for about 10 silver on the AH.
The files Cookie's Stirring Rod 5198: 22.3 DPS wand, now +3 Spell Power and +3 Fire Resistance (Era: no stats). Cape of the Brotherhood 5193 exists (blue, +5 Agi +3 Sta). Cookie's Tailoring pattern drop and the AH price can't be checked.

Partly Preach: original Classic dungeons are mostly unchanged apart from added quests. Deadmines got a big new quest chain worth doing, and Wailing Caverns has the Fang set that turns Druids into a snake.
The files Embrace of the Viper (the Fang set, ItemSet 162) has new Forever bonuses: 2pc +10 Int, 3pc +10 AP, 4pc a low-health heal (1291796), 5pc a Dream Venom stun. None of them turns a Druid into a snake, so that part isn't supported by the set data. The Oct 1 notes mention the Deadmines quest 'Destruction in Deadmines'.

Not in the files A level 17-20 Deadmines group (with many crafted blues) nearly wiped on one pull; a Blessing of Protection saved it, and both Paladins and the Priest ran out of mana.
The files Personal run.

Not in the files Deadmines in Forever has new tank bracers with a passive Thorns effect, which Preach recommends for early dungeon tanks.
The files No decrypted Deadmines bracers with a thorns effect; new Deadmines loot is encrypted.

Deadmines
The files A dungeon heading for the quest fix below it.
- Not in the files
"Destruction in Deadmines" now sorts correctly in the quest log for the dungeon.
The files Quest log sorting comes from quest data the server sends; the client's QuestV2 table holds no sort field.
