@@TVRExploring thats kinda strange in away.

[@stanleystrycharz2572]

This is a really cool mine. The old ones have a vibe all their own and this one sure has it. Winding passages, Strange formations and side tunnels and the appearance that the miners did not remove any rock they did not have to. That is why some prospects along the main tunnel are so narrow. The must have done a lot of the work by hand. Very cool mine. If a mine is to be haunted this one take the cake!

[@TVRExploring]

I agree! I definitely prefer the older mines. They seem to have a lot more character...

[@RobinPillage.]

I don't know much about mining or abandoned mines beyond what I've learned from your channel so i was wondering, "what are Lloyds?" ....now i know.

[@DevotedDisciple-x]

13:33 I thought that was a shirtless dirty man in jeans standing there for a second.

[@DFDuck55]

I'm guessing the skinny and wide tracks outside is because the connecting rail has been moved. Some cool colors in there, especially the blue stuff. That is odd to see so many carbide signatures without dates.

[@TVRExploring]

Yes, you're right about the rail. It just looked funny... There was an odd mix of minerals in this one. The reports describing the mine commented on it as well. I love the carbide writing, but it kills me when they don't put dates. Like you said, it is odd to have that much writing with no dates.

One would think it's a family mine given that some seem to be 1950's and the most recent is 1981. Probably interest lost a generation or two in (elsewhere in the world undercutting whatever resource it is), and the last tag was some grandkid visiting to see what the old man was talking about.

[@xdrplaguex]

With such a big air flow does that mean there's a end hole passing it through?

[@jasonswaglord1498]

Airflow is the best when you explore mines. No airflow and still water are the worst signs you can encounter in the mine. Airflow means clean air and good ventilation. No airflow means bad air, bad ventilation and that means dangerous gases can get stuck in the mine.

Hi, I have come to the conclusion that miners were a lot shorter back in the day lol.

Thanks for sharing and Happy Halloween. x

[@TVRExploring]

Well, if I were drilling that out by hand, the tunnel I cleared out would be really small as well! I have read that people in general were shorter in the past though...

[@TVRExploring]

Thank you. I'm glad you love the videos... Yes, there was a mine that I refused to go into a couple of years ago. It was flooded almost to the top and the water was full of rotten timbers and such that I would have tripped over. Also, the gas meter was alerting before I even got into the mine. I draw the line at swimming in an abandoned mine. I have turned back at least 7 or 8 times. A couple of times for bad air and a couple of times because it was dangerous to the point of suicide.

[@JimNichols]

Could those canisters be condensate collectors for the compressed air?

[@ADITADDICTS]

They pumped a lot of air through those lines so it could be, yes.

[@TVRExploring]

One of the guys with me that day is a mining engineer and he explained what it was, but I can't remember now. I know it involved water though, so, yes, that could definitely be what it was.

[@misterpolytech]

What is the blue colored mineralization in this mine? It's obviously water soluble, as it runs in the water & coats wood supports, etc., in the damp areas....

[@Chuxgold]

Some rock climbing grear would be useful. Might be about anything left up or down of the main shaft. Or you might try smoke to find hidden entrances from the out side. As it looks like a complicated and well explored load. That must have other horizontal shafts. Finding them might result in finding some antiques.

[@TVRExploring]

Thank you. Many of the abandoned mines are worked off and on after they were initially abandoned. It all depends on commodity prices. That's why you often see survey markers in these mines as the mining companies are poking around to assess the viability of resurrecting an old mine. Given how well everything is preserved underground in the dry mines, some of the stuff that looks brand new is decades old...

why is timber in some spots and not in others?

[@TVRExploring]

It depends on how sketchy the miners thought the ground was. Timbering mines is a lot of work and it is expensive. So, if the miners think the ground is stable enough, they will not bother. They don't want to die though, so if they are unsure about some ground inside of the mine, they will place the timber sets.
