The Forgotten Mines That Helped Build America

[@mkervelegan]

Thanks to Chris and Jay for their insatiable curiosity, always worthwhile viewing

[@jamescarter8421]

I grew up in West Virginia. Been in many old mines like that. Cool but dangerous..

[@rossincognito273]

Same here I’m from West Virginia I’ve found many abandoned open underground coal mines

[@originalunoriginal4055]

Why is it dangerous?

[@jamescarter8421]

@@originalunoriginal4055 Low ceilings. Roof collapse. Flooded. Wild animals. Or just getting lost in there. ✌️

[@kennethmaynard5046]

@@jamescarter8421 all the above and floor holes covered with water you don't see them

[@kennethmaynard5046]

add to the dangers sharp rocks and sharp metals you get cut in the wrong area you will not survive. Any mine is dangerous working or closed

[@michaelmcenery7515]

Chris you had my heart racing, watching this I thought for sure you were going to get stuck down there! please be carefull Dont want to see any thing happen to you! excellent video as always

[@tonypike5785]

You guys have all the fun. I sure do enjoy the videos you and Jay put out. Thanks fellows

[@labrd41]

Those pull tab cans date back at least to the mid 60's. That's when I had my 1st beer. Genesee beers and ales are still around I think.

[@mattschmanke5427]

They are alive and kicking! I just drove past the brewery the other day

[@TheCoronerGirl]

Always enjoy when you both explore. Just be safe!!

[@stepps511]

You keep me on the edge of my seat with videos like this one! Happy that you are safe, and grateful for the tour. Good job!

[@lornalulich9562]

You guys are brave, no way, not me. Interesting to watch, glad you both got out safe!

[@petersipp5247]

Would you do a video about the iron mines in Orange County NY ?

[@ernestj3081]

Wow 😮Awesome adventure Chris and Jay!! Scary, but so intriguing 🌟Please stay safe 💙🙏🏻

[@raynaknierim9277]

[@JohnShinn6078]

That was fun! Do it again Mr. Chris! Do it again Mr. Jay! 🤓👍

[@jburnett8152]

So glad you're both okay 👍

[@adventurebythemile]

Scary! I would never ever go in there.

[@monsterglo]

Dead bat yuck! Very good video and subject matter. Thanks! Glad you had your friend with you ❤ yes those tracks are amazing.

[@audgester]

Awesome! Glad you all are safe!

[@Tuberuser187]

Those stopes are incredible, the whole mine was but the stopes really take the biscuit. Great explore, thanks for the upload!

[@577buttfan]

YEah the pitch was insane,and to stand on the side of the pillars like that is epic.

[@andrea6421]

Wow! So eerie down there…. Thanks for sharing, what a great video!

[@Rob78169]

Great video man!! This is why you are one of the best on KZbin!!🙏🏼

[@miz528aaaaaaa]

[@journeywithjay]

Sounds like a great time

[@elizabethrowe7262]

That was very interesting! I learnt something today that I did not know there was such a product like "natural cement". Thanks for taking me along on your venture was great!

[@Carolbearce]

Pretty cool adventure.

[@wendysmith8246]

Great video Chris 😊

[@ericfg806]

Another cool Americana vid. Thanks. Quality protective gear is sexy.

[@jetsons101]

Wish I was there for the adventure, what a great way to spend a day....

[@chrisblack8390]

Very cool! Thanks

[@brendakrieger7000]

Very nice😊

[@SeekerGoOn2013]

It’s official. You guys Rock!

[@wolffman2445]

Fascinating video!

[@melissawhitbeck3469]

Hi sir, just seen your video about Kensington, pa. I'm so heart broken, I grew up there, promise, never looked like that, that was my home

[@echofoxtrot2.051]

I've been to Rosendale. Really cool, and I mean literally cold, caves around that area. There's "AC" coming out of some of the tunnels...best place ever to hike in high summer. You can literally stand at the entrances and get cooled off immediately.

[@jontooke846]

That was a incredible video thanks so much for the facts

[@RealTonaMan01]

Flicks light hole side of mountain 💥

[@SinCityRaider81]

A hunting spotlight would have worked wonders in there for you.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Now that was cool, literally and figuratively!

[@Iconoclasher]

The soda or beer can (9:55) is mid 60s til the early 70s. Those were the first pop-top cans with the pull tabs. Later designs changed so the tab would stay with the can.

[@michaela9798]

Mr. Mobile Instinct, Of all the places you’ve visited and demonstrated on this channel, and even those that you may not have posted on here, what are a couple that stick out the most to you and are the most memorable for you? Awesome content.

[@stephenmcmillan6726]

Getting some Ghost town living vibes for this place. Awesome video

[@repairdrive]

I'll say it again, how the HELL does he find all these cool places!?!?

[@577buttfan]

He's in the circle 😊

[@extremecowgirl3629]

Been in many mines, this one, is the coolest limestone mine I've seen yet...never saw inclined plane for limestone, pretty wild! If your ever in pa, give us hollar, we got some cool mines and caves we could show ya.

[@ceejay6553]

I drove past these mines every day when I went to UCCC down the road from here! Thank you for doing this 🙂

[@Liz-cmc313]

More please❣️

[@charliechristie2949]

By the way,Gentlemen,Genessee Beer and Genessee Ale are brewed in upstate New York !...Thank you for yet another great video !

[@cemeteryvisits]

Greetings Mobile 👍👍👍

[@woodlandwonders6887]

It's interesting exploring the past. Probably no one has been there in a long time.

[@cemeteryvisits]

Looks like a good place for a horror film 👍👍

[@MiniBikeReece377]

You should visit black diamond mines in Antioch California. Really nice park you could visit the mines. There is two types of mines you can walk through coal and sand. It has so much history there.

[@oges74]

That would be awesome to explore

[@dezertraider]

VERY COOL..THANK YOU

[@ericlakota1847]

On my way from mass to ny i drive by lee lime and its a huge lime plant back when i was a kid you would orded it from agra store as lee lime

[@MissPiggy.]

Y’all are crazyyyyyyyy!😂😂😂😂😂

[@HobbyWithRea]

That was a heart-stopping adventure. It seemed like ugly cave creatures could appear at any moment, chasing you guys.😂😂 thank you and jay, but be safe.

[@rossincognito273]

Another amazing video try the widow Jane whiskey not to many people know about it

[@UZEETM]

You make amazing videos no cap

[@russwentz3957]

Chris, it looks like a place the Eloys would have worked and lived, from the Time Machine.

[@Ganiscol]

Sketchy one but highly entertaining! At times I wished for brighter lights in the big cavities, but on the other hand, a dim light makes for creepier vibes. 😅 In places such as this, I constantly expect a collapse to happen for no reason, so that is thrill I get out of watching an imagining it - because it obviously didnt happen when the footage gets posted. 😉

[@yoopergamer2121]

Wow! I was nervous the entire video. 😂😂

[@jillwiegand4257]

Awesome but kinda damp and cold 🥶

[@MobileInstinct]

Definitely was damp and cold ha

[@jillwiegand4257]

@@MobileInstinct definitely looked that way without actually going! 😂

[@susanblauss1530]

OMG! Chris & Jay,I was having heart palpitations the whole time you were in there! Happy you made it out safe! You guys are brave!

[@kathykerr1202]

That took an adventurous spirit. Where are your headlamps?

[@577buttfan]

And hard hats with a gas meter :)

[@anthonycalbillo9376]

Please be careful, there might be black mold in there.

[@williamlynnroden]

That last plug-in is 3 prong, which was not introduced until 1969 and after.

[@HAMRADIOJOE4178]

NOW THAT YOUR UP IN ROSENDALE, WHY DONT YOU GO TO WHERE WOODSTOCK WAS (1969) ITS IN BATHEL NEW YORK. THAT WOULD BE COOL

[@debbietaylor8091]

About an hour away from me. I would NEVER go in there… thanks. Very interesting

[@johngray9669]

I would have left at the first sight of a bat. I've had those shots once. That was enough. However, great video.

[@hansblitz7770]

Generally I'd go with a respirator for a location like this, but you do you. Not saying it is dumb not to use one, but they're $40-$80 and it's worth it to not be hacking up for a week.

[@keithreiffenstein9909]

Did y'all see Jimmy Hoffa?

[@journeywithjay]

Hahaha he's probably down there some where

[@adventurebythemile]

I think you need a Olight

[@martinUTFR]

Easy to get lost in there or worse😳

[@577buttfan]

So much daylight..unlike the pa anthracite mines where there is none and they go deeper!

[@mtnman7776]

A MagLite??? Was this filmed in the 80s?

[@LadyAdakStillStands]

I only have one thing to say about mines of all kinds: Earthquakes.

[@jacobgourley5232]

Imagine getting lost or stuck no one is coming for you

[@monsterglo]

I believe the old pop a top can may have been Guinness beer , very popular in the northern states ❤ bottle was cute

[@summerdragonfly]

👍✌

[@ModeSOLOgaming]

So far it's hard to watch this. Dark tunnels and water are too much for me. Just really makes me uncomfortable and I'm beginning to think there's an extra phobia involved there other than just bodies of water.

[@emersonrala792]

😱

[@karenbuell7481]

Ok he's in his 20s but what are you in? 30s

[@adventurebythemile]

Good place to dump a body, lol😅😅

Mountain lions don't hibernate

[@MobileInstinct]

I was just kidding around

[@577buttfan]

hope you enjoyed the video atleast

[@flashinthepan3273]

Nope!!

[@mayb3xx]

Third!

[@Hitch11]

You guys need olight in your lives.

[@577buttfan]

That place is massive man you need 10k lumen just too see where your going.

[@Hitch11]

​@577 Jersey Customs Adventures nah, just a mid-range light that isn't Maglite lol marauder mini comes to mind. 🤷‍♂️

[@MobileInstinct]

It is very large in there haha

[@richardashcraft7200]

Genesee ....a cheap and popular beer in NY

[@somelikeithot444]

Very interesting Chris.I own my grandfather s mine.😊
