No right hand rule?? You went left at the first crossroad. If you go right every time you will end up where you started. Instead of getting your ass lost. 😒

You should watch the footage on hangman 1128 channel and compare it to yours mind blowing find 👍

[@DeadReckon]

Just found your channel, I love seeing inside these old mines, especially the inner workings that just haven't been seen before. I'd love to know what these miners would've thought about those bright flashlights we all take for granted. Just the excess light around is brighter than anything they had, working by candles. I grew up in a rural part of the state of Virginia, and when the power went out, as it frequently did in the fall and winter, all we had for light were these 19th century and early 20th century oil lamps, and an emergency flashlight from the 70's no one dared use for the fear of the wrath of Dad. I've also been to a few of the tourist caves in my area, where they tell you to stand still and they turn the lights out, ain't no dark like hole in the ground dark! I have real respect for the amount of light these men worked with, and the conditions must've been abysmal, a lot of these early mines had poor ventilation at best.

I find old mine relics, especially in very old mines like this, fascinating. Thx for exploring for us. Cheers

[@theturdcurd2382]

In my younger days I explores mines outside of Las Vegas NV. USA, and it was cool and everything, but, watching your videos and the way Ioan explains everything makes me wish he was with us at the time. Learning about the geology and the mine workings puts it on a whole different level. If I ever make it out your way, and my body is up up it, I would love to go with y'all, it would be a very memorable experience.

I'd be having a major panic attack. I'm so happy there's people like you guys to show us things we would never see otherwise. I believe that the internet and social media was the worst thing to happen to human beings. I however know we would never be able to see things like this without it. Be safe 🙏

If U a want major panic attack watching this video sheer agony ever since my ex mother inlaw made herself homeless several years ago she has been inciting Big Foot sightings all over NY NJ and the Pocono mountains even the everglades.. I am disappointed these boobs here didn't see her. I expected her to be living there in a place like that after all the man hunts she has caused..

Thanks for another interesting video. Those tunnels twist and turn and change slope in all kinds of ways that would not be possible if a tramway was being used to bring out the ore and the spoil.

At 16.29 is that a mobile phone propped up against the wall

[@CountDiLuna]

Yes it is. We can see Ioan placing it there at 16.00 just before walking back to take the video camera from Al.

[@TOM2RN]

It would be interesting to video a small area, but use candles instead of modern lights. It would give one an appreciation of what conditions they worked in. I would also try a kerosene lamp as a comparison.

[@jimzeirke9320]

Impressive gobbling all over the place.

At about 16.25 there was a 1790s era Tellingbone (catweasel ) sitting on the deads😁🤣

[@TheGramophoneGirl]

Interesting video. I was wondering if that mine might be viable considering the price of copper and that it looked like there was still some left?

[@Shadolife]

Thanks guys, the boot prints were awesome. Certainly not a modern tread.

[@mfree80286]

This is going to sound a little bit of a silly idea, but have you ever considered finding some small, bright LED lights that are waterproof, and strapping them to your toes for these wet mines? You'd obviously never get a visible image of anything in murky water but you may be able to see the light diminish sharply before you ram your toes into something solid.

[@nolo1337]

It's not silly it works

[@nolo1337]

If it*

[@tvpromo1]

How did they get the ore out of the mine? I assume the rocks were roughly bowling ball size and smaller. Did they carry it out in baskets? Great find!

[@dustyc324]

he mentioned wheel barrows. a rut in the floor possibly from wheel barrows over time.

[@DaiElsan]

Hoping you post more videos of this Mine,it looks like you'll be underground here for a long time exploring.

[@LostMines]

Loads on the channel and loads more to come

[@MM0SDK]

Absolutely fascinating. Can't wait to see part 2.

[@georgejens9559]

Good job 👍🇺🇸🎥

[@kx1260]

I guess this means I totally should dig out some of the eroded adits I've found

[@shoveldoggermafia]

Amazing. Looking forward to you finding the area where they were working when the mine collapsed. Would love to see some more relics.

[@timfubar5439]

If there's a shot hole with stemming and a fuse hole, does that mean there's a charge still in place behind it?

[@nathandouvier1976]

Ideally, they’re walking where it went off. But I hope not😬

[@thedumblefish]

Hey, big fan here, I watched a video of yours where you found these engraved cartwheels? Maybe they were daisies or flowers of some kind. I'm very curious what they were, I can't find the video where you found them unfortunately.

[@aaronk534]

If thsts a vent hole, thst would tell me thatt the explosive is still in there. Thsts awesome. Mid process. Love the channel

[@Tinatortoise]

That was my thoughts x

[@zw5509]

Great mine! Could you take a moment and explain a fault plane and how miners used them to follow/predict ore veins? I saw a beauty on the wall as you were going down this mine.

That's absolutely awesome, a fantastic explore. Iv today found out about a new mine near me, totally by accident a friend went in a cafe and found out they've a cold store in the hillside and inside,, a bricked up drift entrance and the owners given us the nod to open it 😁😁😁

[@weedfreer]

5:24 am I imagining something thin top middle of frame (towards the top left of the dads pile? 🤔

[@greenspiraldragon]

You should drain some of that water out before exploring. The wooden bracket may have been a candle holder.

[@PenDragonsPig]

You gotta be raving mad, pal!

[@thegreatlatinobambino5419]

5:44 the rock pile to the left is that a human rib cage under the rocks? You can see it just after he put the piece of wood upon that rock pile, you can also catch a glimpse of it a few seconds before that too???? Thoughts????

[@mrlister2000]

Great find! Why didn't you clear the bottom of the entrance to let the water out?

[@britannia-foundry]

Two reasons, it takes more effert than required to gain access, but it also means only serious enthusiasts would explore and so preserve the artefacts.

[@mrlister2000]

@@britannia-foundry Do you not think it took alot of effort to remove all the rubble in the first place to re-open the shaft?

[@britannia-foundry]

@@mrlister2000 Having done a similar dig myself I know it takes a lot of effert to dig down as far as they did by hand, there is nothing to be gained by digging further and draining and as mentioned before it allows far more casual explorers to go in which puts the artefacts at risk, subtle or delicate things like 100+ year old boot prints are easily damaged and other items have been removed by souvenir collectors.

[@dvxdxv]

Where this mine is located& We are also exploring abandoned mines more than 50 years

[@mpf_agundipsht3619]

first thing i would have done after clearing it, would have put a generator with a water pump to remove the majority of that water

[@vadenk4433]

That’s crazy to see footprints that are 1560 years old. That aren’t petrified I mean

[@maxjohnson1533]

I would be worried about the air quality in there if it had been sealed so long. Did you test it or just go straight in?

[@LostMines]

Its all good there are air shafts

[@NormanGnome11]

How difficult would it be to set up some sort of simple siphon to drain some of the water out - or is that not an issue for you ??

[@rizon72]

Watching this kept going something is missing. Oh, right, the wooden beam supports you see in almost all mines.

[@LostMines]

Its solid rock in these mines you do see wooden beams around some parts of the mines

Where do you get your information about mines yous know. I've we've been exploring has apparently been closed 100 years. Can't find anything about it at all

@@LostMines there's also a fire clay mine that we explore. It has a huge engine apparently taken from a ship. Wish you were closer to come and tell me everything about the place.

[@mineadventures7938]

Now we know why no one ever opened it back up. Looks like it was abandoned after not worth mining. The only thing interesting about it was the narration and the thought of those men who worked so hard so long ago. Good job

[@shineyrocks390]

Cool another man made hole in the ground

[@Kyosti5000]

Do you guys have any devices with you for detecting bad air?

[@Randrew]

I think they let it vent to fresh air for a day or so after opening. At least I believe that's what they said about the one they re-opened with a digger last year.

[@Kyosti5000]

@Ioan Rhys Lord I was just a bit worried so I was checking. Thank you for replying guys, now I can stop thinking about it.

[@wallymchugh]

Why didn’t you dig the front down and drain the water? Cool video, thanks
