Am I using something that catches your eye? Maybe the flashlight? My helmet? Or even the backpack I carry my gear in? Well, check out my amazon page for a list of many of the items I use to explore abandoned mines:

Great voice over story line, lol!

[@madeinyorkshire52]

👍 for taking us on another mine exploring journey! ⛏🧨⛏🇬🇧

[@Miner49er1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@casedoumasr656]

Hello glad that you went into the unknown depths of the earth using your trusty rope there might be a secert opening like the M cave never know ⛏️🤔

[@Miner49er1]

Could be!

[@VikingExploration60]

I cannot believe there is not a massive mine system there to be found, those tailing piles are huge.

[@Miner49er1]

Exactly what I was thinking! I just wonder if there are more drifts and systems at the bottom of that hole from last week's video. I checked all around and found more shafts above and around the main adit, but no other horizontal shafts, nor major entrances.

The narration was fun , great Sunday entertainment thanks

[@Miner49er1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Valkyrie801]

Nice. Please, do that narration for other explores, again! 🙂

[@Goldenhordemilo]

That was neat.

[@Miner49er1]

Thanks!

I don't know if you have access to this feature, here in the UK if we want to find adits or shafts in particularly overgrown areas we have access to Lidar data, on this data you can strip back the trees and shrubs exposing the ground beneath, making it easier to pin point possible entrances, we get the Lidar data from online mapping services. We also have access to 1800's map data which highlights almost all old mines that were recorded by the Victorians, because of a act of Parliament called the Mines Act of 1842, which required all operational and abandoned mines to submit minig plans to a governmental body, now know as the National Coal Board, who hold and store a massive data archive of mine plans.

[@Miner49er1]

Dang, that would be handy! I'm not aware of any such data available here, though there are websites with mining data, just not lidar, as far as I know that is. I'll have to do some poking around the ol' internet to see what I can find!

[@rickdozier3609]

Those dark rocks are high grade ore

[@Miner49er1]

That would definitely explain why I keep seeing it around waste rock piles. Thank you for this information! With it being high grade, what does say about the mine and the pile of discarded rocks?

[@rickdozier3609]

@@Miner49er1 They stacked them outside the adit until they could move them out. I'd certainly get a number of 5 gallon buckets or bags of it and send it out for assay.

[@Miner49er1]

@@rickdozier3609 I'll have to see if I can check on the claim to see if that is even legal. Cool idea! Thanks!

[@whirlofbliss5925]

Pardon my ignorance , but who is building "power lines " in the boonies and for what reason ?

[@Miner49er1]

I suspect they were put there to support the surrounding mining activities back in the day.

[@lh6551]

Did it go to the right on the side where the bat was or was it eroded shut also?

[@Miner49er1]

It was a dead end. The tunnel did not turn or anything, it just ended.
