That's one cold sumbitch! Great video. Couple things Frank, where do l order one of your shirts? And is your museum open to the public? We would love to come visit it.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

www.bonfire.com/franks-campaign-66/ just give me a call if you are in Grand Forks and if I am around you can come by 250-444-0183

[@budinfield9064]

Thanks Frank! Got me a long sleeve black, will see if the wife wants one later. I might pick up the hoodie too. What size do you wear? I'm trying to see what size to order. I got an XL in the long sleeve

Really an extensive mine, absolutely incredible video, Frank....!

[@frequencyfluxfandango8504]

Generally speaking: Anyone who's into anything should see this. Fantastic one Frank. Cheers.

[@rallyben05]

Great video! Enjoyed having Roger along on this one. You should have a follow up on the samples taken and see what the assay reports say, or a further explanation of the rock samples that were brought back. It's always interesting to learn how the miners decide what rocks to mine and their techniques in moving the ore around.

[@20PINKluvr]

This is one of the prettiest mines I've ever seen!

[@misterangel8486]

Humongously beautiful and interesting👍 Wauw, what a sight to see❤️

[@peterbrameld696]

A great video, the ice formations are fantastic!

[@Lalunabreeze]

Wow, that’s one magnificent mine. This mine is enormous. Thank you Frank👍🏼❤️✅

[@barbararobinson7980]

Frank, there's always a first for everything - breaking in to a mine! Although it was your only option to break though the ice otherwise it would have been a very short explore. The ice formations were beautiful. You made some nice finds too like the ore cart, the 3 way track switch and the miner's art depicting a mule pulling a cart. Hope you get the opportunity to explore some more levels. Thank you Frank and Rodger. Stay safe 👍 ❤️

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Oh for sure. I am heading back up there with my son Kane in the next couple of weeks........see if he can keep up with the old man!

[@jossmaxwell00]

Great mine guys and so different from the hot ones. look forward to you revisiting this one for sure.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: The mines I’ve explored over the last six months have allot of great geology but none of them have the amount of left behind artifacts, tools and equipment compared to Canadian mines. That’s what makes watching your videos so much damn fun Frank. That three way track switch was a very cool find.

[@TheCrazzyToobinator]

Seeing that ice is like seeing something right out of a movie in an ice cave, it's just amazing!

[@vincenthiggins6091]

Wow what a sight I was blown away!

[@donogoobo9992]

Great explore! Exploration 101: Always step at the sides of stairs, ladders and ramps. Wood, steel or composite. They all deteriorate. Watched two kids exploring a rusted out mine Mill. On the third floor, they would step through the steel flooring at every step. I kept yelling at them to stay over the beams, but they wouldn't listen. Kids!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

I fell through a false floor this week lucky it was only 6 feet but landed in muddy water.

[@donogoobo9992]

@@exploringabandonedmines I will keep two extra fingers crossed for you. Couldn't hurt.... The worst are those you think to be reasonably OK, but at the first step it disappears and there is no sound of anything hitting bottom and the darkness just makes it worse. As they paratroops say, "You have the rest of your life to think about it."

[@belindaraymer255]

Thanks! I’ll never get to do this due to disability. I’m glad you video and let me feel as if I’ve done it with you. Keep up the good work!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Don't feel bad, very few people would want to either even if they could! Cheers Frank

[@keithcookman2918]

I love hearing the history of individual mines.. thanks men..

[@volktales7005]

A couple of weeks ago, I never even thought about mines, let alone watching anything about them. Ya got me hooked, now Frank. Love your adventures, and appreciate your enthusiasm and knowledge about these mines and their workings and history. Subscribed and watching all your back episodes. Anyox was awesome!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks Anyox is awesome!

Coming back in the summer Frank, looks like lots to explore once you get by the water.

[@TheHungrySlug]

That ice sounds like someone's breaking Glass. Such a COOL place to explore. Thank You Frank for sharing another awesome old mine. Now I'll sleep happy for another week.

[@pedwards10]

Going through that ice looks awesome Frank! I'm so jealous!

[@peter15871]

think if you fell on the floor on top of those ice staliagmites it would definately shrink your piles if you had any , but that looks to be a great mine, look forward to another visit frank, nice to have rodger along to say what the rocks are,exellent video .

[@timdeud1615]

When i was a young boy i thought it was cool to enter a cave alone with no knowledge or plans at all, just somewhere in southern France. I was stuck in there for almost a full day as i was totally lost. Please follow this man's adivce! @28:42. Interesting video, i loved it.

Really beautiful stuff. Sitting in a 101°F in Dallas Texas, watching you freeze your asses off. Haha. Just found your channel this morning and have been binge watching for two hours so far.

@@exploringabandonedmines I was trying 5o find the area that you were in and I think I found it. Lol, I kept typing "gem" instead of Jim. This show is pretty damn cool though. It would make a really fun show to watch on TV but I'm glad it's a smaller production. All the best from Texas buddy.

The last part when you kick over the ice was probably my favorite part! That definitely made me laugh

[@johnizitchiforalongtime]

Ice Castle Gates, sorry, they need entrance. It will take a while to thaw this heart out. Take us where we weren't part of. Show us your wares, even the hard water, ha ha ha. Lots of mineralizations. Cool graphetti, very artistic. Please don't fall again.

[@RailPreserver2K]

You guys truly were in the Hall of the Ice King I don't know if you could do so but I recommend taking pictures of those ice formations because they look almost exactly like what you'd see in a natural cave and plus they're very 'cool' to see

[@TheKmaki]

those guys really worked hell out of that mine . that took a lot of skill and balls. those open large open stopes in that slabby ground without much ground support, makes the boys twinge . even with chainlink and rebar, I wouldn't be comfortable under a hole that big . give me a drift in the Canadian shield anyday .

I like how a ghost appears at 26:45 to the left of the ice door and disappears, then shows again at 26:51 and then disappears. Great Mine!
