Spawns you in the upper left corner of the map on a small island chain (of about 3 very small islands with shallow water around them). While playing this map awhile ago, I dug under the one end of this island chain and found a mineshaft. I believe I started my 3 step spiral shaft just off the end towards the center of the map).
As I noted on the 1.8.2 seeds list, this map also has a larger island mass in the lower right corner of the map (across the map diagonally from where you spawn). That island chain consist mostly of desert, but there is a small swamp biome as well with only about 10 trees in all. The largest desert island also has a small village.
All in all, I found it an interesting survival island map to play.
There are several other survival island seeds listed on the 1.8.2 seeds list (pinned thread). All should have mineshafts underground on them somewhere (and probably more than one per map).

Wow, you really missed your big chance to point out that this thread was put in the wrong place and that you had reported it....
Just kidding, this is the perfect response. Well done.

OT: FYI, I have never reported anyone, nor do I intend to start anytime soon. I personally hate it that so many of the threads get locked all the time. I feel the forums should be open to free discussion (and even debate and argument - as long as it's kept civil)... even if that discussion gets somewhat redundant from time to time. I do try to forewarn new people that their threads may get locked by the mods so that they're not as surprised if and when it happens. Perhaps you've been misinterpreting my intentions in this regard?
As for the seeds list, I think it's regrettable that some people don't appear to not read that entire thread before asking for a particular seed and I find it even more regrettable that other people mention their great seeds only in individual threads and don't bother posting them to the seeds list. For example, I didn't originally find the seed that I posted here. It came from another user on an individual thread and never bothered to post it to the seeds list. I did that after I found I had enjoyed playing on it for a bit.
To the OP: I've started up this seed again tonight (in survival), but haven't yet managed to relocate the Mineshaft. I just can't remember exactly where I sunk my first shaft; but I know it's down there somewhere. Tomorrow, I may create the seed in creative mode and try to locate it that way for you. I have noticed that this time round, there are no animals spawning on the island, not even chickens... which is making actual survival extremely difficult this time round. The tree failed to drop any apples, and the grass on the island only produced 1 seed... my starvation tonight is imminent; but I really don't have any more time to finish playing it out... will, therefore, die another day.
I actually started a map that spawns you on a large island with no trees, and a cave system that leads you straight to a mineshaft. I think I took advantage of the glitch were you open the map and then quit without saving to get a new spawn point. I will post the seed number if you are still interested, just gotta get back to my Xbox.

The reason things like threads about Seeds get locked is because it isn't really in any way helpful to have hundreds of threads about seeds when we can just have them all in one place. You don't have to waste your time going through page after page in the forum, you can just go to the pinned topic.
As for other things, I agree and disagree with some of the things that get locked. If anyone ever has a problem, they only need to take up the issue with the forum staff if they felt it was unjust.

OT: I understand the reasoning behind it all and I see valid points on both sides of the issue. That is one reason why, as I indicated, I have never reported anyone. If there is a feeling that because I mention that a post may be locked that I'm intending to report it, that feeling is very mistaken.
As for the seeds threads... I just wish there was a way to have the seeds mentioned added to the seeds list AND the individual threads to stay open so that responses to a posters seed request could be answered or discussed further, as needed. I know, I'm probably dreaming; but sometimes these threads lock so quickly that there is no opportunity to go back to correct a typo in the response (e.g. with the seed name) or anything like that. I also wish the search engine for the site worked better than it does.
To the OP: I'm still unable to find the actual mineshaft - although I'm quite certain that I am remembering the correct seed. There is a large cave system and ravine that runs under the small sand spits off the one end of the island farthest from the tree. It mostly runs out away from the island out to sea. That ravine and cave system is the beginning of it all; however, back then, I may have travelled farther underground before finding the mineshaft than I thought, so it may not be close to the island at all.
No one really knows yet. I need one too, though I'd prefer no islands
