Exploring the Abandoned Liberty Mine and Review of the Thrunite TC20.

In this video I explore a very large lead, silver, zinc mine that is now in very poor condition. Though this mine had miles of tunnel, today only a few thousand feet of workings remain. The remaining workings are flooded or behind major collapses.
Also shown in this video is a review of the Thrunite TC20. The light is used for some parts of the mine exploration and is discussed in depth at the end of the video.

We went into this one a few years ago. I remember being completely amazed when we walked into the big green room! There are a lot of really neat old mines in this area. Nabob and the Liberal King are both great ones to check out too

[@southdownsway]

Such a shame that the mine has collapsed. The winze station would have been very impressive. Real archeology though. You have documented something that has almost disappeared. Part of important social history. All that ore made the modern world. Many thanks!

“Gly”: Hey, your back! I was starting to wonder about you since you haven’t posted a video in a while. Glad your alright. Big mine! You can certainly see by the geology it contained allot of Zinc. Nice review. In my opinion if it had a better switch and a telescopic flood light feature it would be a good compact flashlight. When I’m doing my filming it’s nice to quickly switch between flood and spot. Stay safe out there!

[@MinesoftheWest]

Abandoned and Forgotten Places Haha I always worry that others will be concerned for me when I don’t post for a long time. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching as always!

Hey, a few shots and pans as you walk up to the mine entrance, sets the mood for mine exploration. The devil's in those details, so please film everything over 50 years old. Very much enjoy watching, thanks for all of your efforts. Much obliged and clearly that was the green room for the movie star miners to get dressed in. Ha ha!

FANTASTIC ❤️

Great video and sound quality awesome!

[@cuniryu]

omg...It's a vivid picture. I feel like I'm here.

[@DFDuck55]

I wonder if that green paint was copper based, like is sometimes used on boats to prevent fouling, to prevent molds and stuff from growing on the walls. There was very little mold or mildew growing in there considering how wet it is.

[@KubotaManDan]

You could easily make a cap for the switch using a small piece of pvc pipe with a section cut out and a hole drilled where the switch is, then you could sell them to thrunite.

Lot of lights on the market these days, this one seems pretty good, long life is a plus, heat not. Great video.

[@alvinosullivan2804]

Great video! That looked like a pretty big operation that was going on there! I love the still photos as well. Good review as well,nice and thorough! Thanks for the share.

[@brianstevens9469]

Brilliant video and great stills! Really cool.

[@stevenhigby3512]

Great video that mine had seen its better days.

[@GoldenNorway1]

I think you're right that he green color in the room is not natural. It's used in larger mines (and underground workings in general) as a marker, or "code" for that specific area. That way, the workers wouldn't need to explain anything but color to tell others where to go. Light is also reflected better on brighter colors, hence they sprayed the whole room and not just a single point.

[@DFDuck55]

I think it might be copper based paint to help prevent growth of mold and mildew in that damp environment.

[@GoldenNorway1]

@@DFDuck55 | Yeah, that's a good point.

[@KengoftheWorld]

Hi! I'd like to know what camera you were using for this vid. I'm planning to film caves, considering the tc20 for it since it looked good in this vid. But you might have a far superior camera than I have.

[@MinesoftheWest]

Keng of the World I use a Sony Alpha a7III with Tokina 14mm F/1.8. It is a very good camera setup but the TC20 is decent too.

[@KengoftheWorld]

Mines of the West Thanks, man! Appreciate it. 👍

[@SveinPeder]

Amazing videos!

What year did this mine close down?

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

I've never seen green colours in a mine before, what mineral causes that? Wow, that's the weirdest room I've ever seen in a mine. Why would they bother to go to all that effort? Never seen a pneumatic gate on an ore shoot before either.

[@austinputnam24]

UK Abandoned Mine Explores viper sulfides will cause colorations like however that room is definitely not naturally like that.

[@kamandalu]

another nice vid thx for that,but why did they paint the room green?never seen that before in any kind of abandoned mine vid!belgian greetings.

[@MinesoftheWest]

kamandalu I wish I knew the answer! I have no idea what was going on with the green paint. Thanks for watching though!

[@ronniecardy]

Good video it sure looked unsafe to me. Be careful

How many KZbinrs were on this explore?

5:50 I’ve seen things like this before, it’s probably a man way

Utah is full of underground chambers... What really happened to the Bureau of Mines building ? U of U hospital Radiology area now... was left abandoned, coffee in cups , family pix on desks around 1999. His.story is off.
