Sharon is brave as hell. She always be going on first and be testing dies rotten ass ladders. It was smart to come back down.

[@jammerjen5504]

Ms Sharon ... you are 1 amazing "lady" of the caverns!! I've always enjoyed the cave vids - but I really enjoy the ones with you in them - thx for being such a tough chick!! The adventures you & Frank take us on - it's just awesome - - thank you both! ♡♡

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you like them!

[@barbararobinson7980]

Wishing you a wonderful adventurous year ahead. Stunning photos. The rat stayed hidden he knew Frank had a plan! Sharon is a brave woman going up those ladders. It was well worth your perseverance to find the electrical room, it was really interesting. The transformers looked amazing. Thank you Sharon, Frank an Ron. Take care and be safe. 👷🏻‍♂️⛏👷🏻‍♀️⛏ ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Those stulls, they look like they belong on a Whorf. They knew that adding more they would be safer. This is what i was waiting for, the Electrical Room, 3 phase. it was worth the wait, Yippee Skippy.

At 31:12 min mark that flat ceiling your talking about is a concrete rendered by the old world masters just like that stacked wall too! Also the spring's that were tapped into

[@TheSWolfe]

Really enjoyable explore, w/a little bit of everything. Right with you there, Sharon, on that definitive AW HELL NO! (more like a S**T! No.) Certain rat castles are best left to their long-tailed tenants, along with the crumbling ladders/drawbridge. Still, much to see; good pix, too. And congrats on Yankee Boy's grand opening!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks Sharon!

[@watchvideos9104]

A lot of people think mines were energy hogs they happen to run very energy-efficient using both AC and DC technology to supply power to there equipment

[@s60430470]

This is the kind of video I like to watch going into 2022!! Thanks for the awesome adventure!!

Happy New Year Frank and Sharon. Those transformers were huge. The copper was so pretty and blue, but I guess they needed some serious power to operate that big mine. Looking forward to part 3 and 4.

Happy New Year Mr.Frank and Ms. Sharon. And happy holidays as well. Keep up the great work as well. Like the show(s) very much that u produce. Very informative as well as very educational.

Happy New Year Great Show.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks for the visit

[@davidfleishman2275]

Thanks for the great videos from 2021 Frank.Danko 2 is great.Those transformers probably have PCB oil in them for cooling.Hope the scrapers do not get in there and just dump the oil to get at the copper.That electrical should be properly cleaned up.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

I hope so!

[@SueGirling68]

Happy new year Frank & Sharon, I hope you have a safe and healthy 2022. So many cool things to see, those ore carts were really cool and so were those stulls the way they bundled them, I haven't seen them all bundled together like that before, a very unique but effective way to help hold the back up. Thank you both and thanks to Ron also, much love to you and Sharon. xx 💜

The KZbin business model must be broken if the bigger you get the less you earn! 😆 Happy New Year guys you’ve given us a great year of content! Thanks Frank and Sharon!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

The way it works is that you get a percentage of the add revenue KZbin makes. Since we get far fewer views per month than we did a few years ago we also make far less money.

I saw some plants growing on the wheels of the ore car. What kind of plant can grow without sunlight? And is this commom?

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Plants don't grow it the dark. But rats drag vegetation into mines!

Ore cart has plants growing on it? 6:01

No the rats hauled their winter groceries into the mine!

You just bought a Mine and you can't get a new camera ? Didn't know things were that tight. Sorry, hope things get better in 2022. Happy New Year!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

We have 2 working cameras that cost $ 2,000 each. I am not going to replace them when they wear out. Instead we will use a cheaper GoPro.

If I donate 15,000 to your show, would you consider bringing me on for an exploration?? I’ve been wanting to for a while. Always watched your channel. I have a lot of climbing and confined space training with the state here.

No to protect workers from electrocution.

@@exploringabandonedmines Well hopefully you're getting some good sandwiches out of it at least.

[@cleasonleasure4832]

Being a master electrician that room with open transformers and open switches was locked for safety and it probably was always locked.Too dangerous for anyone who doesn’t know what they’re doing to walk in there when it hot.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

I would think so too. How old do you think the transformers are and do you think they contain PCBs?

[@edward5979]

I’m just a maintenance electrician and a few other things, I’ve worked in the Line Department for a very large utility suppler, opening that door would make the hair on my neck stand up. I would say the transformers most likely have PCB’s. How did you know for a fact the room was not hot, I would not have stepped into that room with out testing. 4160, 7200/12460, 19900/34500 will reach out and touch you forever.
