Filming the assent was a really informative. A great presentation of just how much work is involved. Thank you for posting.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

[@Curiosity-NZ]

Sharon is looking a lot more confident on the ropes these days, but this was a mine that was definitely having her push her comfort level. Stay safe both you.

[@catchaser52]

Sharon is a Saint !

[@jamesglenn2006]

That mine was a bunch of fun guys🍻👍 Stay safe Go back Frank 🤣

[@ActionAdventureTwins]

8:32 "I don't know if I should be doing this" good call questioning the stability of the pile. We almost learned the hard way that a big pile of pickup sticks like that can come crashing down all at once if you move the wrong log holding it all together. Keep the videos coming! this is definitely the most full send youtube channel dedicated to mine exploring out there

[@withabike]

Your channel is rich and colorful! It's amazing! Browsing your video is like going back to school again! Let me learn a lot! thank you for your sharing! Wish you safe, healthy and happy every day!

[@robertbrown3676]

Well Frank is probably a good call that you won't be going back down there and I bet Sharon is happy because it look awful awful sketchy down there you guys be safe get you the next time on another video

[@kimbra1132]

Wow, thanks Frank for 16 chapters of this wet, slippery, mine. The colors in that were beautiful. Awesome mine explore.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dougscott8161]

Hi, Frank and Sharon, well, I guess I'm reluctantly glad this is the final episode of your saga through this monster Mega Mine. It seems that it is finally becoming too dangerous to safely explore, as there are becoming too many collapses of timbering that can so easily become deadly "pick-up-stick" piles, just waiting to be triggered and dragging you down with them. Sharon has been gamely following along with you, but she does look like she realizes an increasing danger level. Sharon's still photography has added tremendously to the enjoyability of your explores. There are still uncounted mines that have not deteriorated beyond safe explorability. God Bless and stay safe.

[@williamwintemberg]

This was a really cool series! Sure got some lessons on square set. I'm with Sharon, time to walk away from this one Frank, at least for a little while.

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Frank and Sharon thanks for showing this fantastic big and dangerous mine, i dont think i will forget watching this one ever wow.

[@tomgreco8873]

That is one bad ass mine, Sharon did a great job in that mine. Better than i could do. Please stay safe, will light a candle at church tomorrow for you guys. You have the best videos.

[@davestuart6593]

That’s really been a very big mine,Sharon got to hand it to you,and Frank I’m glad your hearing Sharon,got to trust each other. Thx for all the very hard work and hours and hours spent behind the scenes prepping and just traveling to get to each place.

Great job Frank & Sharon, stay safe guys. All the best to both of you, Craig - Tasmania. Australia.

[@terryfromsouthcarolina4601]

Frank, you can tell Sharon loves you a whole lot by watching her follow you down in these mines. It is amazing just how hollow these mountains are. It seems that some day they will collapse and be a quarter of their height. I can imagine you looking around for holes saying now it's down it not so far to the bottom. LOL! Thank you for taking us with you. Be safe and have fun! Terry from South Carolina USA

[@OneBlueFroggy]

I am loving watching you two explore these old mines, and it amazes me how on earth they ever got all that equipment, and those huge timbers in there. Then to manouver things around and actually build something ! All the while digging tunnels in rock ! Where's all the debris ? They send it out in the rail cars ? Who the heck puts all the rock in the rail cars ? Too many questions ! ! You are very lucky to have each other, I think Sharon keeps you level headed ! Anyway thanks, and stay safe inside and out ! ❤️✌️🇨🇦

[@RetroGamingWithHopper]

I hope you and Sharon go back someday. I would like to see the bottom if possible. A long journey to the center of the earth. Thanks, Frank and Sharon Great Series.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

I hope so too

[@CutthroatMcRage]

Always Awesome Frank is always awesome ;) Thanks Brother.

[@DFDuck55]

Thanks for taking us along on this 16 episode explore. I have a feeling this mine is going to be less and less safe as time goes on and things rot and deteriorate even more than they already are.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

That is true in all mines.

[@volktales7005]

Enjoyed that series, but kind of glad it is over. Was getting way too sketchy and glad that both you and Sharon made it out unscathed. Looking forward to watching more adventures in the future!

[@jeffd6540]

Hey guys, Nice finish up on this mine. What a nice adventure. Sharon really gets her partner points for sticking with you on this one, eh! Glad all worked out well. Can't wait for more adventures...

This has been an amazing series! You two have proven to be the most skilled adventurers on youtube. I really hope you get back to the MMM some day and get even deeper. (easy for me to say) Looking forward to getting up to BC and checking out your museum and gold mine. I am in Wisconsin and the Canadian border just opened up again!! You guys are the absolute best on youtube!!!! Mad love going out to you both.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

It would be great to see you, Yes August 9th the Canadian border opens. No word when the US border will open.

really enjoyed this mine .think franks intro is great far better than the normal god awful "whats going on guys?"that most youtubers say

[@bobpace5464]

That was a great video Showing of this mine. Thank you so much Frank keep up the good work. It looks like you do a good job of keeping Sharon safe.

[@richardkrautkramer996]

Amazing footage. I was a professional archaeologist for years and spent alot of time documenting old mining districts. These expeditions are like opening a time capsule to the past. I live close to the Oatman, Arizona mining district and and have ventured into a few of the mines near the house. But never on the level you guys do. Keep the videos coming.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you enjoyed it

Great series Frank and Sharon! Hopefully Ben can meet up with you soon to explore the rest of this amazing mine. Take care guys and stay safe.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

I hope so too!

[@TheSWolfe]

What a workout - I was sweating just watching you! A moldy oldie MMM so hazardous most bypass it entirely, but you two opt to venture in & then return...15 more times! Somebody needs to get one of those "Falling Rock" road signs & hang it above the portal. So much unstable material in this mine, I don't blame Sharon for "maybe not" missing it once top-side again. Explore #17 might be one trip too many, and as you're not moving in, moving on sounds solid. "Easy mines?" Maybe a few, but you'll be bored w/that before long.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Yeah this one started to give her the heebie jeebies because it is so far underground. It takes hours to get to where we left off. Maybe some day we will go back. We still have a lot of rope down there!

[@TheSWolfe]

[@barbararobinson7980]

Oooooo, Awesome intro! Knowing after a days exploring you still got 2 and half hours to get out must be very tough - I don't think any one else will ever take that on. Those glow sticks disappeared quick. That was some ascent, very challenging, and definitely showed what you 2 have gone through to bring us the mega monster series. Thank you so much for bringing it to life for us. Thank you Frank and Sharron. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks Barbara for all your awesome comments. After you go down you are sort of committed to the 2-1/2 hour trip out if you want to see the sun again!

[@andrewkiwi1]

I can't think why no one else would want to come down with you. Its lovely down there. (The fact that its a death trap if anything happens while you are down there has absolutely nothing to do with it.) I've just watched you come up. it's long way down and looks like it's further when you come back up. LOL next time Sharon might like a nice dry mine you can walk into. LOL You both did well to get 700ft down there. That was an effort. Awesome series. I think your washing machine is going to get a good workout when you get home. You''ll have to hose everything off on the driveway first. take care

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Everything gets pretty dirty down there!

[@catchaser52]

This one was a rare look at the long hard climb back up and out. The greasy hands and rope really had me going on the way up, I am thinking that clamp is going to just slid down to the end, glad it didn't !

Love the Sharon cam! Her commentary raises the suspense level through the roof! Frank talks like it's a walk in the park lol 😎 stay safe guys!

[@colta51]

Still amazing the extent of these mines when you think they were only getting ore. In Australia we also get rich ore but also gold nuggets solid silver copper etc are not uncommon. A mine near me was closed by the owner when he had to go to fight ww1 then was forgotten until a man and his son were walking and the son fell down a shaft. His dad knew there must have been a level entrance tunnel and searched for it and when he unblocked it he found a large nugget and rescued his son unharmed

[@BIGBADWOOD]

Why does the mine look like a flood washed through the mine or a bomb went off ..... why is it such a mess? Always 5 star adventures Frank stay safe .

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Wood rots and timbers fall and fail over time. There is nobody there to clean it up!

Incredible Multi Mine ! It would be interesting to do a show about the Men who worked these Mines and Where they came from and how they did. I always look at these old mines and awe at how much work it took but the miners are seldom mentioned in any videos about old mines. Hint Hint !

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Many of them came from Britain and America.
