Abandoned Iron Mine with Military Dump

[@MrTans79]

I love seeing what’s below all those shafts and adits I’ve peered into… thanks guys! Stay safe 👌🏼

@ 9:19 there is a green 5 gallon can the contained OMD 110, that is Oil Mineral Detergent 110 which in my days in the army,, (72-84) was used as a heavy detergent oil for petrol and diesel engines. It is equivalent to an SAE 30. Subsequently superseded by OMD 75 , equivalent to a10w/30.

[@BenoCam]

I think that is the same oil that is designed to go in my abbot self propelled gun !

[@MerlinKernow75]

When I saw the start of this video I was hoping the adits were going to be open. But still cool to see inside this mine.

[@BenoCam]

It would be interesting to see how far they go. I have never been up them, although I noticed they have different padlocks on now from a couple of years ago so either they have been upgraded or someone had a look inside!

"Enny ole Eye-Urnn?". "Bit late fer a weigh-in now, maw". Proper job Ben. My old man's still runnin' air through his gills. He remembers DCLI Cadet traning out Penhale Camp in '43.

[@DS-Outdoors]

Remember going there 6-10 years ago, found some some “interesting” sand sculptures then definitely made by blokes 😂

[@Clarence-Hoppington_III]

The mystery ammo tin at the end looks similar dimensions and design to ones I have kicking about for 81mm mortar rounds.

[@BenoCam]

Interesting cheers.

[@darrenhawken9766]

Great vid, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

[@BenoCam]

No probs glad you enjoyed

[@darren-dxn-106]

Nice trip, Done that one a couple of times. Never been in the lower adits as been locked everytime i've been there too.

[@ronmarking3776]

As you say, interesting geology and, just for a change it's DRY!

[@SteveWebb]

Nice vid. Not a caver but went in the lower entrances years ago when I was on holiday, no gates then. I remember getting a fair way in and then there was a hole that the weak light I had couldn't light up. I dropped a stone and it sounded like a reasonable way to the bottom.

[@oberheimfourvoice9647]

Another brilliant vid Ben and your team . Not an area i know very well. Another region to visit. Thanks again.

[@kernow..exp.]

Ben that place is amazing mate great video

[@jakesgreatadventures]

Great video pal ❤

[@buffplums]

15:12 that’s another ammo box Ben … not 100% certain what type but saw so many of these knocking around during my RAF days

[@BenoCam]

I think it may be a old 25 pounder box. They didn’t change much since ww2 and this one could easily be that old. I bet there’s a massive pile of stuff under that sand !

[@buffplums]

@@BenoCam yeah we have an old disused mine (Muxton Colliery) near us that was connected to MOD Donnington in Telford by a train line until early 80s, although both pit heads and all the shafts have been capped, rumours had it that the MOD guys tipped all sorts of redundant and scrap radio equipment down the shafts… would be amazing to drop a GoPro on a line if there was a breather hole or something in one of the caps

[@sailingona]

Nice one mate :)

[@avpinstarter]

CY on the ammo tins is Chorley royal ordnance factory GD would be Glascoed

[@davidtozer802]

you found my shopping Trolly from Tescos Cambourne x

[@wideyxyz2271]

I'm pretty sure that last ammo box was for the old 303 rounds.

[@P-J-W-777]

Did they push all that sand in there trying to cover up all the trash that was thrown in there?

[@BenoCam]

I think it’s far too much for it to be wind blown. Yes I think they filled it to the top with sand and over time it’s all settled.

[@Qwertypigeon853]

Brilliant video! How come you don't wear any protective gear? Caves especially mines can often have tonic gasses!

[@littlewink7941]

Watch out for those 'Tonic' gases!

[@ryanlotgd]

ah the goldfish mine

[@chiggsmcfallen2711]

So why do they put sand down the shafts? Seems weird

[@BenoCam]

Probably to try and stop children and dogs falling down the shafts. Sands a lot cheaper than concrete !

[@chiggsmcfallen2711]

Depends on who you're paying to haul it up from the beach, and how deep your hole goes I guess

[@chiggsmcfallen2711]

Is shuttered plug capping a relatively new thing?

[@thebrowns5337]

PFA (waste from power stations) would be lighter to transport. Seen this and pea gravel used.
