Thanks Frank and Sharon. You are very persistent in finding a way into the old workings, I have the best seat in the house to watch how its done!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Our pleasure!

[@AdventuresRUs]

Great explore Frank, Sharon and Doug! Some people don’t understand how much work can go into a mine exploration, so it’s great that you showed this. All the research, locating the area, to then find out that it’s collapsed and you can’t get in! Great video guys, take care and stay safe.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks Adam hopefully we can do a collab soon!

[@SteveIOW]

Great to see this, and hats off to Sharon for going first, nice to see a new face too. Well done all of you.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mn690]

I’m addicted to your videos; it’s the highlight of my week. That electric chainsaw looks mighty handy, and an improvement over the gasoline powered ones.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

It is good for small jobs. It runs down pretty quick if you are working it hard.

[@timmc49]

Sometimes you win and sometimes not. Interesting regardless! Your videos and commentary are really top quality, Frank and Sharon! And you go places that I don't see other explorers on KZbin attempting to do. Please stay safe! Many thanks for your effort!! 😎

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@barbararobinson7980]

So Doug was determined to go mine exploring with you - good man! Points to Sharon doing a reccy and discovering the old wheel barrow. The tenacious, crazy mine explorers did it again. Thank you Sharon and Frank. Take care and be safe. 👍 👍❤❤

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Right on!

[@slimwantedman6694]

Your show just keeps getting beter and better.... Keep them coming.....

[@randyjackson8138]

Most people won’t ever go through what you guys do to search mines and that’s what I love about your videos. Thanks guys

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Our pleasure!

[@misterp158]

Sharon you are Awesome. Good Stuff, Great video and photos and definitely not a failure to me. Many thanks

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Great to hear!

[@milemarker_oscar_mike]

Frank , Sharon and Doug thank you for all the hard work you put into this video and also taking us along for the ride. Awesome tour ⛏️ 👍👍

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@remmiemax3624]

Thanks for all your efforts, and yea, sometimes you come up empty😢 but it's the "chase" that compels one. Sharon, goes in first..even with rat nests 💖. Rock On & 🍻!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

So true!

[@jittychitty]

Sharon is scootin around pretty good now vs when she started... good job

[@rolfsinkgraven]

Great pictures and explore, guess that one entrance was too unsafe after all.

[@curtisgraves7122]

looking forward to as usual

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Hope you enjoy!

[@casedoumasr656]

Great adventure you guys are like the Energizer Bunny you just keep going and hopping around love the right hand Rule.

[@gingerbread6614]

We love watching both you & sharon. Thank you

[@johnizitchiforalongtime]

Experience comes wisdom, failure is a teacher also, so there is a lot of gifted people here.

[@gingerbread6614]

Love your pics Sharon. Thank you

[@williamwintemberg]

Doug sure looked good on his first trip down! Frank and Sharon always leave me with sweaty hands. It wouldn't be right if you guys didn't scare the crap out of me! That wheel barrow was attacked by oxygen termites! LMAO!

[@herrmp5sd]

Great video as always 👍Have a nice weekend 😎✌

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Same to you

[@davestuart6593]

Definitely thx Sharon for all your pics

Good effort guys, win some loose some . O well always next week👍👍. Pete Australia

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks 👍

[@coajokazz]

this is not the same "frank" of "exploring mines and unusual places", right? because i like this channel so much more, with all the climbing and longer unsnipped footage!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Correct Frank Hood has the phony stuff with the ghosts.

[@darknes7800]

@@exploringabandonedmines So true! I have to say that stuff get OLD! I prefer straightforward exploration without the "ghost hype" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@darknes7800]

This FRANK is actually exploring mines.......repelling down shafts.......and getting deep into these mines.............while the "other Frank" is making sandwiches on the trunk of his 300K mile Toyota Corolla OR if you want to hear someone make a big deal out of a Screech Owl and call it "supernatural" !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

Lol, our guys would be doing that collapse slow and methodical, Frank.....Just pull it out, love it lol.

[@frankgaletzka8477]

Hello Frank hello Sharon Great pictures of your adventures .i think Sharon has a eye for this great footages. Well done . Take care stay healthy Greetings yours Frank Galetzka

Omg Frank kick me Arse man, my tablet took a poppie and i lost lost of my favorite Mental Folks i love, I'm so glad i found y'all again!! I hope u remember me.😄🤘🍻

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Welcome back!

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Frank & Sharon, a real shame that you so far haven't got into any of these mines but if you don't try then you will never know. I'm betting you will be able to shimmy in to one of the adits. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖

[@TheSWolfe]

No stone unturned, indeed! Nor adit unexcavated or timber uncut, cave unbraved or hole unmoled...I'd not deem that a failure, tho I know you'd prefer delving further given the lengths to which you go in order to locate these places. Amazing terrain! If I didn't know the extent of you all's combined skill & dedication I'd think much of it impassable. The drone's a game--changer for tracking these lost mines' telltale signs.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

We won't be able to excavate all the muck out of all the workings. We will leave some for future generations!

[@TheSWolfe]

@@exploringabandonedmines Understood, & might kindly of you! Are u snowed in up there yet? Rainy & cold here, but nothing compared to yr weather. Our idea of cold is when dips down to 30's (fahrenheit) eves & only rises to 50's during day. Grew up w/4 distinct seasons & winter snow, but after 7 yrs in SoCal + 3 NorCal decades, I'd prob freeze to death in my own hometown now! Happy Holidays to you & Sharon!

[@toddrohrlach8336]

How cool is that barrow. Would look good in the museum.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Yes but it isn't in great shape and it would take a lot of work to get it.

[@maorimana]

Thanks for the photo's Sharron 👍🤩

You’re welcome 😊

Come on Franklin let's do this😺

[@bartonbrass]

Even though you didn't get very far, I still think it's cool what you saw : ) Awsome job guys!!!!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks for watching

[@jacquesjackcoomans2295]

G'Day Frank and Sharon from the land down under. Been a while since I watched one of your vids and just realised it's because youtube knocked out my all notification bell so I just hit it again so hopefully it'll stay this time. Sharon was so brave going into that rat infestation hole. Just a question, I noticed you coughing a bit, isn't breathing the air with those rats stench dangerous to health and how do you combat any possible sickness from it.. Cheers, now I look forward to catching up.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Nothing to do with me...blame KZbin or just visit the site every week. We make a video every week.

[@yamittr250]

Way to go Girl.

[@floydswydan6507]

You were talking about the price of equipment. I was wondering what the lifespan of your ropes are?

[@exploringabandonedmines]

It depends how badly abused they are 1 or 2 years mostly.

[@floydswydan6507]

@@exploringabandonedmines Wow...that's longer than I thought. I remember the episode when you showed a good sized "cut".."nick" in your rope.....but of course you went down ANYWAY. Love your shows....keep them coming.

[@floydswydan6507]

Very anticipated...can't hardly wait. You 2 are great!

[@rodneybosch7290]

I noticed that these mines are cleaned out of any kind of artifacts. Is that someone got in before you got there? Or when the mine closed it was taken out?

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Did you watch the whole video? There are many artifacts!

[@victoryfirst2878]

Hello Fella. Just love your video exploring different mines I just cannot get my head over the number of mines that are out their that are forgotten. Would you know how to find out the number of mines in Canada that stopped mining before 1900 would probably make it a lot easier for you to give me some accurate information. Thank you Frank for showing us things you will not see on the boob tube.

[@Bushguyrocks]

If they explored one abandoned mine per week just in British Columbia, it would take them over 34 years to do them all. Yes, I am a nerd and figured it out!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Around 1800 so they tell me.

[@Seat1AJoe]

Frank, I suspect that Doug digs your channel.

[@martkbanjoboy8853]

Please get a camera with stabilization; it drives me crazy and makes the videos almost unwatchable. However, I watch them anyway because they are fantastic. Go Pros are perfect for stabilization.
