[@exploringabandonedmines]

Yeah I know...thanks for dropping by and commenting. I was chatting with Gly a few days ago and your name came up. It would be so cool if the three of us could get together for a video at some point! So what do you say?

I'm glad you bring Sharon along on all the adventures now, that way we can see how a regular human being reacts to stuff underground. That must be why you needed the 1 ton, the old trucks payload just couldn't hold both your balls in the truck at the same time!

Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Nice find! You would never find an ore cart parked that close to the portal here in the states.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

There are quite a few in the area. Mind you the portal was collapsed and you can only drive a half mile from it.

[@downhomesunset]

These adits are on steep hills so if you and ten buddies want to pick them up and hump it down a hillside, they are going to stay there

[@blackmonday738]

Forgotten in the house..🤙

[@augdog1230]

Another great exploration Frank! Thanks for returning my phone call, you told me you had just came back from Sandon. Was great to speak with You. One day I hope to make the trip down from Northern Alberta and visit the museum. Stay safe Brother.

Great photo work and really fun video. I'd have to have electric pants warmers and chest high boots or I'd freeze to death in those drifts. Terrific adventure as always !! Thanks for the time away from reality. I wish I were there, perhaps a dry-suit would keep me warm.

[@TheSWolfe]

Agreed! I know, right? Here in CA, as soon as we hit November, it cooled & rained a bit, yesterday & today, for what seemed like 1st time in forever. So I'm chillin', jammied, robed AND blanket-wrapped like a three-layered Arctic burrito, shivering in otherwise comfy-temped room from watching these two slosh thru thigh-high ice-water high atop that massive mountain range like it ain't no thing. For Sharon & Frank it's all part of the day's adventure. Why they do, & I view. Brr...eautiful!

[@volktales7005]

Pretty neat mine; really cool bucket in there. Looking forward to next week already!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Right on!

[@fredfarquar7679]

Cool and difficult to get to explore! I think that's the first mine I've seen with a ladder made of unsawn poles and split-log rungs! Gotta be OLD! Thank you, Frank and Sharon! See you next week!

[@nickgeisel9600]

nice to see a mine cart in this video and i am glad you restore old mining equipment that can be reused agin in the future

Love the ore cart! A nice riveted one complete with blocks to keep it from rolling and wheels! It seems to me the blocks were put there so the cart wouldn't roll outside. That must have been a long time ago! Beautiful drone shots!

@@exploringabandonedmines If you have the chance try a headlamp Zebralight H604d (tint 5000 K) or H604c (tint 4000 K) headlamp - they have little throw but a very wide beam, in a confined environment like a mine they are the right light.

Awsome as always

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thank you so much 😀

[@dombutler7685]

I wouldn't be very happy about going in the first adit, but if Franks fits, he is in!! Imagine the amount of work you would have to do to get the ore cart out of there! Thanks for the video, always entertaining!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

So true!

[@charliespeegleokliving8595]

The object at 10:14 is a mystery. It is a vise that holds something between the 2 removable blocks(with bolts on one side and nuts on the other) and the other 2 pieces of wood. It doesn't appear to have any wear points of any sort. It was well crafted as the edges are smooth. I have no idea what it held. I read the other comments and I think I paused before it gets really interesting. Enjoy your vid's, thank you.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Maybe for repairing a broken telegraph wire?

[@ADSC2006]

Very cool!

[@kimbra1132]

Come on in the water is at mine temperature (room temp.), it's just fine. Man that mine is old. Loved the wooden buckets and the 120 yr. Old artifacts. Nice job guys and Sharon's photos are top notch.

Would love to see Sharon's channel where she comments on Frank's adventures, to see her perspective on the situation! 😉😱😳🤣

[@robertmcdonald1419]

Another cool show! Keep her Rockin! Also do you zero out your gas monitor prior to entering a mine? We must before entering a unit in the refinery. Also a weekly bump test. It's also a good idea to carry 2, one on you and one on Sharon. or...................make her go first? ahhh just Kidding.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

No we don't test it. As long as the thing reads 20 -21% on the surface that is close enough

[@valiantredneck]

Fantastic drone that you have. Would you mind sharing what the make and model is? What would be the cost of one these and what’s the serviceable range? Doe’s it have a return feature when the battery is low or when maxing out of range? Ease of use and all that jazz. Lot of questions I realize, and if too many I understand. Great video. Thank you.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

It is a DJI Phantom 4 it has all those features and more. They cost almost $ 2,000 Canadian this is my fourth one!

Hey you need to turn your monitors on outside, they calibrate to the environment your in ,

There is just no way I would do that. As soon as I seen the first little cave in the paranoia would set in. Sure fun to watch on youtube though!!

Around the 20 minute mark you can tell you are getting old joints need some oiling. Squeak squeak....

Got me dizzy on this one. Stabilization next time. And to many damn commercials! Still love ya Frank! :-)

[@davidcote1597]

Does freezing and expanding of the ice cause the collapse or ground movement from earth guakes

[@exploringabandonedmines]

It does especially near the surface. Inside the mines it often doesn't freeze.

[@martkbanjoboy8853]

How old would the windlass be? It looked a bit like the monolith from 2001. The blue water below gave it this abyss look.
