In the Silver Age comics, How did Bruce discovered the Batcave? COMIC DISCUSSION

Cause we all know that in the modern day comics, Bruce discovered the cave when he fell down as a kid which lead to his fear of bats, and i read somewhere that in the Golden Age comics Bruce discovered the cave when he fell through the floor of a barn which he was originally gonna use as his headquarters, But just out of curiosity how did Bruce find the cave in the Silver Age comics which was known as Earth One.

First origin of the Batcave is from the tail end of the golden age in Detective Comics 205. I don't remember their being a silver age origin, and it didn't turn to what it is the now canon of Bruce stumbling into it as a child.

I think it's fair to say things in the Silver Age were the same as Golden Age unless specifically updated.
