Lost Worlds Project: Into the Deep Unknown

[@daveg2104]

As for that "M.A.! He's Kissing me!" graffiti, well, what happens in the mine, stays in the mine, right? It would seem it is a variation of "Ma, he's kissing me" from the 1921 song Ma, he's making eyes at me. The H. Mau and Co (operational between 1882 and 1886) soda bottle is worth a bit of money if you can find the right buyer. I saw an estimate of between $800 USD - $1,200 USD. Dr. Boschee's German Syrup was basically laudanum, a tincture of opium (opium and alcohol). Apparently good for any disease of the lungs, throat or chest. Or maybe if you drank enough of it, you just didn't care.

George Gill Green became very wealthy from his patent medicines. L. M. Green was his father, who had a patent medicine business that George purchased and added to his own business. Search for Castle Green in Pasadena for one of his properties (a hotel, now an event/function centre). His patent medicine business declined after the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906, and by 1916 his company's products were discontinued.

@@olivei2484 Yeah. I think the date above the name is 1947. It's difficult to read the 3rd number, but the spacing is wrong for 1917.

​@@daveg2104 my guess is it's 1937(you can sorta see the top of the 3 and then the side part of the 3 and originally looks like he wrote M.A then the date and some one made it M.ASS so he tried to scrape it off and put his full name below it.

Glad to see y’all back here, my friends and I have been following the series on this mine since it first started! We are on Thanksgiving break at college, and the few of us that are staying in the dorm (instead of going home for the break) all got together in the common room to eat our Thanksgiving meal and watch this video like it was the Macy’s Parade 😂 Awesome work as always, and thank you for the holiday upload!

[@TVRExploring]

Well, I thank you for the kind words, Grace, and I'm honored by you spending your holiday time with us exploring this complex... Since you've been following this one from the beginning (and I thank you for that), I'm excited for you to see what is below that chamber with the undercut ledge where we turned around on this trip. When I was in college, I didn't always go home for the holidays either and that led to some fun experiences!

[@qldabandonedmines]

This is the top tier of mine exploration right here! Way to go Justin and the crew. I would love to know what is down from the ledge of doom in that ballroom. Sensational work.

That shell looked like a .58 rimfire.. old! I think they were used as early as the civil war even. It matches the era of the dates on the walls.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Justin, very cool they used the cave features as part of the mine, great lateral thinking whoever that was saying that the coffeepot flies came out of eggs in the wood. At 16:27, wow that was one huge wrench. Dr A Borshee's German Syrup was used for coughs and colds and any disease of the throat, lungs or chest and it was mostly composed of Morphine and Hydrocyanic acid. I love that old bucket and the Briggs tobacco tin, very cool to see. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

The flies in the coffee pot might be some sort of fungus gnat or fruit fly. Fruit fly larvae like almost anything damp and decaying. You can guess what fungus gnat larvae eat. As a side note; an old trick to dealing with fruit flies in a building is to leave out a half fill jug with sugar water and a drop of dish soap to disrupt the surface tension. It's amazing that somehow, way the fuck down there, it still works! haha

[@haroldishoy2113]

An excellent video, I don’t want to be presumptuous but that whole complex appears to be limestone with a fair share of drifts cut out where they thought they could find the good stuff. I have climbed the limestone outcroppings along the American River near Auburn and limestone does form caves in the interior of the rock if there is enough water percolating long enough to erode the stone from inside. Limestone exposed to the sunlight and weather can have crude sharp serrated edges that will cut your clothes, boots, your ropes and skin.

[@randomakerfilm]

[@rickhill88]

you do a great job,,,thank you...

[@frankgaletzka8477]

This mine is very very amazing. For me it looks like they went from one natureal cave to another and they filled them with backfill. The Toilettedrift is a sign for me that this mine is very old or you are now in a very old sektion. In Germany this drifts got to an end at 1903 . In 1903 all mines must use Normed buckets to Do the business and they had to install warm and cold running water in the bunkhouse so the miner could clean theiself After the shift . Background to this big change is a Germany wide Infektion with worms in the Guts of the miners . That caused great damage. Thank you for the Video yours Frank Galetzka

[@jw2218]

I was going to make the same comment. When they reached the end of the last drift there was a tiny hole under one black area, probably for a candle holder.

[@jw2218]

Apparently in the bathroom drift they had a hard time reaching the end. You always seem to find the interesting mines. When you were walking in that area that you said was a fresh collapse would that be the area below the 500 level where the water was and what possibly caused the collapse?

Another great video.Shortly before you saw that Prohibition Era liquor bottle was the name FRANCES L. COLLIER with an "E". Don't know if you realized it at the time but FRANCES is how women spell the name and FRANCIS with an "I" is how men spell the name. This gives your comment about someone having a good-ole-time more meaning if you consider this.
