Ancient People Existed Inside This Sealed Cave

"silver" smell? Are you trying to say "sulfur?"

[@georgehubbard6876]

@@terminaltom1662 Thanks for the heads up.

[@Jaymic]

These guys have been pretty lucky for how lax they are with some basic safety measures and risk taking and going into most caves with little knowledge on what to expect. Also what are they thinking going into a sealed government site? Best case they're treading on an area that has a reason to be preserved for cultural significance or future research. Worst case the cave is sealed because it known to have a variety of different ways caves can be too dangerous, like instability or unbreathable air either from dust or the air itself. Also them recording themselves acknowledging there's a "No Trespassing" sign and going in anyways is also a great idea.

[@VikingExploration60]

The mineral staining you see are white is Hydrozincite, black is manganese, red is iron, yellow is sulphides.

[@aajohnsoutube]

Or sulfates.

[@UnKnown-zy1km]

Was going to say the same things the white could also be calcium or lime the red is definitely Iron abs they said the water smelled bad I would say it had a lot of Sulphur in it which would be the yellowish coloring the water will smell of rotten eggs or what we called as kids farm water lol.. im from Florida the well water in Florida has a lot of Sulphur smells terrible well need to go very deep into the ground to get away from the Sulphur. We had 2 well on out farm in Florida one was a artesian well and the other was a pump well the pump well was Sulphur which was ran into the house had to get so many water system ans it still was Sulphur smelling but out artesian well was so deep it did not smell of Sulphur which we end up using it to the house and drinking water for the cattle and horses. But the pump well water terrible smelling and it left lime calcium Sulphur and iron stains on everything.

[@frankmacleod2565]

@@65ramblerman how could you tell it wasn't heat treated? I've heat treated chert myself and diagnose heat treatment on artifacts at work, and couldn't tell this was heat treated. Also the term pre-form just means it was like a blank, prior to finer shaping into a finished tool. Preforms aren't limited to the mammoth hunting era, all finished flaked stone tools are preforms at some stage of their development

[@65ramblerman]

@@frankmacleod2565 My understanding from ---as he considered himself the one to know (he wrote several books) that a pre-form did not mean it was not finished, it related to an era as well (he was rather condescending to me until he realized i was not a student). As I was told at the University heat treatment will turn the chert hues of pink to brown. other stone that flaked well might not be heat treated in younger eras. Heat treating before knaping will make for sharper edges and thinner form. But it's always good to check with a local university to know who was in the area and when.

I spent years underground and scaling walls and backs (Roof) was done everyday. Mines are constantly caving in as the rocks expand and the crushing weight does it's thing. The slabs above you can be pried down with the slightest bit of leverage. You can even do it by hand and it's impossible to tell if one will bring the rest down. Sometimes, you can't see if one is about to fall until you walk under it to the other side of it. It's the walking under it that freaks me out and I would even be afraid to raise my voice in there.

I used to work in a coal mine. What you are seeing are ammonite fossils. Also when you are hack in those old mines you need to be careful of dead air which is low oxygenated air. It can kill very rapidly. Also the walls were not natural those were rockfalls. The sound was shifting rock… used to call it tommyknockers. You hear that get out. Risk of rockfalls follows that sound.

[@T-sv7nl]

Yeah, about 2 minutes before they say they don’t think it’s a coal mine, I was thinking exactly that. Because there are no coal seams, no equipment left behind. It’s just a very dangerous cave where the roof could collapse in on you.

TN has some hot caves, from leaking dump sites, remember places like Oakridge area 50-100miles radius and 'the Bomb' development, and some leaking dumps in Eastern TN too over karst! If thinking about a gas detector don't forget about a bump tester fir it to, so you know it is actually working, but the cost is a lot for just a cavers, and maybe a Giger counter for a few caves I've heard about that are actually radioactive 'hot'. Sorry I don't have specific cave names or locations to share. Just that there are a few 'hot' caves, more than just radon because of leaking dump sites. Glade you left the possible arrow head. I hope you let the archeologist know about it and sent them the pictures, and the location. The value of some things can not be only measured in money. Knowledge and history do have value on there own, even if not everyone thinks it's valuable unless money is involved. Simple taking it word mean it's non-monetary value would be lost. And some places the law is written that you need to not take it, helping to keep sites from being plundered hopefully. Thanks for sharing in your exploration. Looks like a cave to me.

Dude! Your subscriptions are astronomical now! I startedwhen you had maybe 770 subscribers! Congrats! You are now an American success and can start selling Action Adventure shirts! I can tell you why you've succeeded: 1. This is the most important - you can hold a camera without jerking the camera around and snapping your head back anf forth and up and down so much the viewrer gets car sick and pukes. MOST cavers do that, older guys just can't handle watching them. This is the most important thing. 2. Your fun to listen to and love what your doing. It's infectious. And I don't like spiders either so I know right where you're coming from (never trust anything with 8 eyes). 3. You find great caves and push new passages where you can, it gives viewers a sense of adventure. 4. You get in tight spots that give us claustrophobia that are still mostly safe (if they scared me too much I'd have to stop watching, I don't want to support something that could end you) (please never slither down super tight passages that start sloping down hill, those things have become death traps many times over the years. Hanging upside down is fatal in the youngest strongest people in at most 3 days, usually 2, the lungs fill with fluid after screaming headaches begin, humans just aren't made for that). 5. You make enough so people can make a habit of watching once or twice a week or so, and they start looking forward to it. So there you go - so start buying some silver while you can, the American dollar will be inflated to worthlessness in the next 3-4 years, it can't be stopped at this point, so take advantage of silver & gold while you can and make hay while the sun shines, the precious metals will gain a lot in value and you will be left with something when our economic system caves in and depression hits in 3 or 4 years (when this happens who knows if youtube will stick around) - Yes I'm one of those edgy-kated types that had my own business for 30 years and learned a lot of economics and finances, now I'm old but you're young enough to take advantage of what I learned - the dollar has lost near 90% of its value since I was a kid, it will be a lot worse for your generation (I remember 10 cent coca colas in glass bottles and 4 for a penny hard candy).

The metal rectangle you found was a part of an old internal combustion engine (It goes on the top part above the pistons and the hole was for adding oil). Likely a 4 cylinder from the size of it, possibly diesel, like a generator or something running outside the mine, to provide power and lighting in the tight spaces and keep the air clean. If anyone knows the model it's from or the correct name of the part add it in the comments. I think it's called the Rocker Cover.

[@tsmspace]

it makes a lot of sense that a coal mine would be in a natural cave. coal forms from deposition of organic matter,, this happens a lot in wetlands. Peat can become coal. If there was a stream that had beaver dams, the dams would create little wetlands and if some of these wetlands became semi-permanent then a lot of organic matter might pile up in it. The streambed might be softer than the surrounding material, which is why the cave already forms a river (because it used to be one) , and in the same place is where wetlands would have had sediment rich in organic matter build up as it flowed down the stream and into a spot that did not flow quickly.

Then a wall was put up, and you aren't allowed to go there. I'm sure these two guys will cause so much more damage 🤣 and many cultures would call YOU a looter if not outright a grave robber. You only aren't when the government gives you permission to dig. "Author-ity"

[@frankmacleod2565]

​@@rooster3640that is incorrect. Artifacts and archaeological sites belong to the landowner, not the government. Also, the landowner has access to information about archaeological sites on their land, it's not kept by the government from everyone. Generally kept secret from the general public, to discourage looters.

[@ToiletTxtr]

@@frankmacleod2565 I agree with you man don't listen to the first comment. "Quick report it to the government so they can keep it secret!".....Pffffffff kick sand kid I've had enough of these fake columbia university turds hiding history from us.

[@paleogeology9554]

Im a field Geologist from PA with over 25yrs experience in this part of the country. This cave may have coal veins in it but this isnt a mine! That opening is natural however it appears someone worked the stone VERY long ago. Far longer then the 19th or 20th century when all these mines were started.

My alarms bells are like NOPE NOPE - so I am glad you are filming it because only way Id see that

Great exploring & thanks ActionAdventureTwins 🤗👍

Those 'swirly' things in rock at 7:49, i believe is Ammonite.

[@maraz666]

DO NOT ENTER THIS CAVE! The rock is not structurally sound. The inner ceiling has fallen down multiple times, the floor is entirely covered in broken slabs. It can collapse further at any moment!

[@TruthSeekerAi]

Spiders like we can't get away from these humans no matter where we go lol

[@GRBHERBTPUSY]

I know where 2 caves are about 20 minutes from Nashville. Only a few of my family members know about.. one is impossible to find. The other is right off the road. Like 20 feet the most. The one cave we went into as teens we got back to a string that someone must have squeezed and went on back. We never messed around and traced the string to where ever it went. They're both from fresh water springs. If yall ever want to check th out , i say go for it. I can give you the streets that they're on. But dont want to on here. If you want my email ? I can give you the names of the 2 streets they're off of. They're pretty close to one another. They might even connect to each other.

This is no coal mine. It’d be black everywhere if it were.

I was really expecting Spicoli to jump out from behind a rock and say, "duuuudes".

[@peterodushkin8434]

Thanks for the awesome video. As far as I know if you find ancient artifact, you get to keep it I don’t know if you took it or not but it’s definitely a keeper.

[@SchoolforHackers]

Depends on where. You can’t on federal land.

[@EL-bw3xe]

you ever see any strange creatures? we just got back from Daniel Boone national forest and saw some strange things near the caves out there.

[@madjiofcimmeria]

What did ya see?

[@EL-bw3xe]

@@madjiofcimmeria there are caves off of the trails. we saw a large black figure on the trail a few times ahead of us, we heard it walking then when we tried to catch up to it, ran off really fast and disappeared. pretty sure whatever it went into the cave so we did not enter to investigate. later that night we set up camp and heard a horrifying scream that made us all hop in the same tent. not sure what it was, but it was fast big and black. those caves are great places for something to live year round

[@madjiofcimmeria]

@EL-bw3xe that's pretty creepy!

[@EL-bw3xe]

@@madjiofcimmeria ya i cant imagine going out there alone, even daniel boone has some stories, i still love the caves no matter how creepy they get

[@trixonic6934]

This is actually the coal mine that Santa contracted to exact coal for kids who made the naughty list

[@Therealchristopherjessup]

That’s pretty solid that you left it behind.

[@ninjashinobi2413]

I never imagined that people in America really do sound like Beavis & Butthead.. but DUDEEEEE...!

[@AudaciousAmber]

I thought I had seen tracks and I wanted to inquire about that because there's a theory that cryptids are using abandoned minds and also that people that are missing that you may find clothes or bones deep in places due to such things. Anytime you see tracks please pay attention and can you do a close up in the future

[@SteveD300]

Please invest in some sort of various gas detection device.

What type of mineralization in a coal mine is a sign of the presence of GOLD ?? Pyrite: Pyrite, also known as fool’s gold, is a common mineral found in coal deposits. Its presence can indicate the potential for gold mineralization. Pyrite and gold often occur together in the same geological environments, such as sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Quartz: Quartz is a common gangue mineral in coal deposits and can be associated with gold mineralization. The presence of quartz veins or quartz-rich zones in a coal mine can indicate the potential for gold deposits. Sulfides: Sulfide minerals, such as pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, and sphalerite, are often associated with gold mineralization in coal deposits. These minerals can form in response to the same geological processes that create gold deposits. Carbonates: Carbonate minerals, such as calcite and dolomite, can be associated with gold mineralization in coal deposits. These minerals can form in response to the interaction between groundwater and the coal seam. Gossan: A gossan is a type of iron oxide-rich zone that forms when iron-rich minerals, such as pyrite, are oxidized. Gossans can be a sign of gold mineralization, as gold can be concentrated in these zones.

[@michaelpage4242]

Anyone else think it’s fishy that the federal government would close off a random cave rather than a local municipality? Likely something in there they don’t want the public to access. Not sure how this would compare to an unsafe or collapsed mine markage from the time period

[@FrankKnapp-u6o]

I'd say there's prob something in there that they want for themselves that's why it's sealed.

[@McemiMC]

Like poisonous gas that can kill a person? Yeah.

[@TwonTheRipper]

It was the WPA, so most likely done as a project to keep people employed after the Great Depression. The WPA also worked closely with local governments to complete projects, so this was most likely a joint effort at the time.

"Hmm maybe I can squeeze myself through here..." *sees spider* "Nope. Too Tight."

[@oldrust601]

Inside a abandoned mine old artifacts that are left behind will get swept away and lost forever or someone will take it and drill a hole to make a necklace...but the right person should take it and give it to a local Museum ...

[@TheJTTaylor000]

You found it. You should keep it man. That’s how it works

I hope you kept the arrowhead. It had a little bit chipped off the point, but it’s a good find.

Usually if they have no trespassing it's for you to be safe.

[@Kathy_Bennett]

First thing I always ask is, what is the government hiding?

[@ThomasGilmore-fi6gb]

It must be difficult to spend your life cowering in fear of something that you can't understand.

[@erfelgamazig]

My cousin worked hundreds of hours to learn how to chip arrowheads. He was successful, but the flint rock chips would sometimes break into the pads of his fingers. Do you have any kind of safety equipment? I've heard series of 3 beeps in some of your videos, so maybe it's some kind of oxygen sensor. But that wouldn't be waterproof, would it? Please say safe.

[@g.h.7661]

Thanks for respecting this (possibly) indigenous site & not removing any (potential) artifacts you discovered, the notion of giving it to a government sponsored museum (they’ll identify what it is) or else just returning it to the community whose ancestors lived in that area are both respectful things to do if you removed something by accident or discovered later that you shouldn’t have (or could not according to law) remove the object ❤

[@savage1469]

Good to see you guys back. Stay safe
