Abandoned "Bootleg" Mines

[@davecaliff4612]

Some of these haven't been abandoned that long ago. I've worked in 4 different bootlegged holes that are now closed in Schuylkill County

what is the spirit called that possesses man and makes him serve entropy? very interesting hike, I like the countryside and the freedom loving people.

[@jimmyjams5]

That is awesome! Awesome some find! Wow!

[@cruikshank]

Is this the same as 8 mines released yesterday? Footage seems very familiar.

[@CheapestGamer]

The difference being that the first 20 minutes or so of the original video was cut out. The tunnels shown in that version looked like they were part of a still running operation. So that may have been the reason for the edit. Not to mention that the resolution was like watching through a mud filter. Though that could have been my connection at the time.

What state are you in? This is the first video of yours I've seen so I am not sure where you are, but I am in West Virginia.

[@coalcrackerchris]

Welcome to Northeast Pa.!

[@cindystrachan8566]

I hate to sound stupid, but what is the significance of there not being an echo?

[@coalcrackerchris]

The rock is loose and could collapse at any time

[@coalcrackerchris]

Solid rock carries an echo

[@cindystrachan8566]

Ooo. Good to know. Explains a lot of comments from other underground explorers. Stay safe.

[@guyonabuffalo100]

Do you ever go around Lansford area? Or just Skook?

[@coalcrackerchris]

I've been at the bagging plant, hauto power plant, and #9 mine

[@bigdogpyrotechnics987]

Any adits in the area? Was looking for six but they filled it in

[@coalcrackerchris]

@bigdogpyrotechnics987 only ones we found

[@cruikshank]

I don’t like Spiders 🕷️ & Snakes 🐍 in or out of Coal Mines.

[@cruikshank]
