I've always wondered this because in the third movie Marty is at the 1955 Doc's house but then in the next scene you see them blowing up an entrance to the mine in 1885.
The movie doesn't show any time travel so how did they get there?
Thanks for your help!

They didn't travel back in time. The mine had been abandoned and shuttered up for years.

The scene where they blow up the entrance to the mine at the old cemetery is in 1955. Doc chose that location because he knew it would not be changed between 1885 and 1955.

1955 Doc doesn't got back to 1885.
In Back to the Future II Marty and Doc go back to 1955 to stop Biff from using the future almanac to become rich. Doc is in the Delorean and he gets hit by lightning and sent back to 1885. Marty then goes to 1955 Doc to get help. From reading the letter that older Doc sent them they discover that he's living in 1885 as a blacksmith, unable to use the Delorean to travel out of that era because of the technology of the time. But older Doc hids the Delorean in an abandoned mine so that it will get to Marty in 1955 and allow him to travel back to 1985. 1955 Doc and Marty find the Delorean in the mine in 1955 and repair it so that Marty can travel back to 1885 and rescue Doc from his duel with Mad Dog Tannen.

1985 Doc went back after lighting hit the Delorean when Marty burnt the almanac. Marty went there after 1985 Doc sent him a letter with coordinates of where he buried the time machine.
After retrieving it , he went back to save Doc from getting shot.

The mine was dug in 1885 but still exists in 1955

The third Back to the Future movie was so bad I don't even try to make sense of it.

The mine they blew up was still in 1955. Doc Put it there in 1885 so that Marty and his 55 self would find the Delorean in 1955, because 85 doc wanted Marty to take the Delorean, go back home to 1985, and destroy it. He left directions to the mine on the note he sent to Marty. Marty and 1955 doc found the Delorean in the mine, and instead of doing what Doc said and going back to 1985 to destroy the Delorean, Marty decided to go back to 1885 to save Doc after finding the tombstone with Doc’s name on it

They recovered the Delorean from the mine, and repaired it so that Marty can travel to 1885. Here is the scene.
