We Expected BETTER, But Things Only Got WORSE.. The 400 LEVEL

[@Curiosity-NZ]

This has gotten better with Laura and now Sunday Night Dinner is always a Laura and Gly explore time. Another great explore from the two you. This show is only getting better with each new episode.

[@jacquelatourcaptainunderpa8475]

Gly you and Lora are great together . Please keep me in your prayers I have heart surgery this month with a 50°/. Chance of serving because of my lung disease. Be safe my friends.

[@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd]

Thanks for taking us along, Gly and Lady Laura Those miner's were brilliant carpenters and I love seeing their work. And the different methods used here in the UK with the beautiful stone arching frequently shown on our mutual friend's channel UK Abandoned Mine Explorers 👍

[@kl1200r]

you 2 seem to be getting more comfortable with each other, that in turn you guys makes a better experience for us. thank you

[@markmiller5952]

As a former boy scout leader, we practiced the leave no trace. You pack it in, you pack it out. Too bad some people dont do it. Kudos to you and Laura.

[@swishersw33tz]

I was in scouts too, and lmao I bet The leaders were probably packing Your Mine Instead😂 With All The AIS going on

[@bubbaredneck75]

i feel you on leaving garbage and vandalism....seen it for years hiking. gets the ol heart rate churning a bit

[@mikegoff9349]

Gly don't be afraid of that water. You know Frank would go in it.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Imagine being soaking wet head to toe and having to climb back up 400 feet of ladders with backpacks and camera equipment. No thanks.

Really enjoyed this weeks exploration.

[@freakyp711]

This is the best mine explore channel by far. This is one of only two channels on KZbin that I try so hard to catch every upload. Since Laura came aboard I feel the best is yet to come. Thank you both for sharing these adventures with us.

[@tinadelwiche416]

Still you and Laura did an awesome job documenting this structural mine. Looking forward to the rest😊

[@TBI-Firefighter-451]

I went to Lost and Buried @minediver and they say it's not their batteries as they only use recargables. I will say this as a Retired Lode Owner / Operator and Mine Safety Inspector that many Miners and even Survey Crews etc. use lights that take disposable batteries and in my time as a Mine Inspector I have seen everything for Modern Batteries to Antique ones discarded in old Mines but the Litter that really pisses me off is those damn Cigarette Butts, if you must toss your butts at least Field Strip them first.Unfortunately for some our National Forests are nothing but dumping grounds for them. My Motto is Pack Out more than I Pack In and I pray that you do the same.

[@Kevin-mw9yl]

all in all, a super great mine. Total respect for the two of you. No-one does it better, than your channel. Stay safe our there guys.🤠

[@davidwhiteman5451]

I agree Gly, If you are not one of the original miners only Take Video and Pictures and leave only footprints in the mines. If you pack it in, pack it out. Great explore and love that you took us in and you and Laura were the only ones that left footprints for all of us. Blessing to the both of you for your great values about keeping the mines as virgin to when the original miners left them.

[@darylephillips6778]

Thank you for sharing Gly and Laura this was very interesting mine Cheers from Australia

That was a great exploring at the 400 despite all the junk and the rubbish the ..BOGANS ... left behind. Pete Australia 🇦🇺

[@Fudgieguys1969]

You are correct. The box was to carry drill tips for drill steel. Could not find the exact picture, but it appears to be the case.

I have never commented on any of your videos yet to the best of my knowledge. I wanted to thank you for doing such great videos. It gives me something to look forward to at least twice a week. I also appreciate the respect you show so others may enjoy their exploration as well.

[@justinmoreland3570]

Awesome end to this mine ! A few unnerving places with the collapsed areas and looking down to the swimming hole! 😱 😂glad you made it down safely and back up to the outside . Be careful out there and as always see you Wednesday!👍🏻🙂

[@debrasonger8346]

Great job. I really enjoyed our adventure. GOD bless you both. Stay safe.

[@GabeLsonnie]

Hello from Wyoming! I remember Jeep had a "pack it out" campaign back in the 1970's, still true today. If you can pack it into the wilderness then you can have the strength to pack it out too! Also, thanks for the obsidian pieces I received this week! Very nice, plan on knapping something nice for the wife with them.

[@markhooper5824]

Great job again you two.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@roberthenderson6140]

I watch both of you guys channels, yours for years. But, assuming and accusing someone of everything you find in a mine is ridiculous. I read comments on their channel and they admitted that, years ago, they were leaving "graffiti". They also say, they do not use disposable batteries. Gly, i do love your channel, stay to facts and dont accuse someone without proof. The cancel culture is trash! Thank you, continue your good work!

[@CameronMcCreary]

I had just thought about Frank wearing waders for the flooded section when Gly mentioned it. Great were thinking alike. Thanks for this presentation of this old mine.

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

Yeah, I stopped talking about my favorite places in anything but vague terms. Too much traffic, graffiti, trash and vandalism. Not enough respect. Mines ought to have a register, a certain distance from the portal, much like caves do. You sign in, maybe leave your card, and then, explore, and, take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but foot prints, and kill nothing but time. Too bad the 500 was flooded. Sure is a neat mine. Thanks for the tour, and the rant!

[@deanmc178]

fantastic as always , now ive got the right day , thinking yesterday was saturday

[@johncos1068]

If it's really that aggravating to you the last thing you should do is draw attention to them. How many more people will physically explore the depths of the mine before its inaccessible anyway - maybe a dozen. Just ignore it and don't even bother to show it. You are going to give yourself a coronary over pretty much nothing.

[@billloutzenheiser5397]

those kids run through so fast they see nothing, come out on the 400 you camera caught a nail on a post and it looked like a square set, old and cool keep it up you two, we enjoy your content

[@nighprw607]

Try to stay calm Gly. It's not good for your health to get upset over things can't control. Don't understand why they couldn't take their used batteries with them either. Makes zero sense.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: It was what we found topside that really triggered me that day. It was bad but I couldn’t show it on camera.

[@milliehousam4514]

It's sad people are so disrespectful, I'm very glad you have said something about the shameful behavior - will not watch any other hard rock mine exploring channel - only yours. Thank you for another wonderful video, and Laura did a super job.

Haha that is boxy Dan and his group for sure. We were there in 2014!

[@factorydavid]

Rewatching Dan's video from 10 years ago, he never made it to the 400 level, as he went down the triple compartment shaft and couldn't get further than the 300 level due to flooding.

[@leestewart7558]

Gly, you can't fix selfish stupidity ...

[@edward88881]

There must be risks you're taking when descending to that level. Do you always have backup plans? For example, if the ladder collapsed on your descent is there a way back to the surface?

[@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88]

Weren't you in a mine during an earthquake a few years ago?? I swear I remember that.

[@nielsen145]

i dont mind a glass jar, besides the ooening of the mine, where you can leave your calling card, but inside, take your trash out and leave it as it was

Frank would have stole that hoist sign and took it to Canada

[@shantyshitter3163]

Awesome explore. Never apologize For calling out someone's ignorance. Or should I say stupidity. They are not only Trashing up mines, They are also slapping every miner in the face. Some day soon they will be held accountable for their actions. Sooner then they think. Be safe my friends and keep the great content coming.

[@grimsmith1]

I agree regarding the trash left in mines etc, a nice copper mine near me on Dartmoor UK has a cavern at the start and some dickheads have taken bags of food etc in there and just left itall! Grips my shit.

[@jonathanhammond3975]

He is exactly right about calling cards. It does ruin the experience, and sometimes I feel people take artifacts, and we never get to see them. The one time they found the miners headlamp on a hard to reach drift was awesome.

[@harveypeters9015]

Classic Encore!

[@azjeep]

garbage batteries I watched their video and i don't think they left it. I see the tank and no batteries and they left the area to go back up. They found another room with where someone had lunch and beer that someone else trashed it.

Hey Gly!!! Just remember that you do it better!!! Chin up buttercup! You're doing a GREAT job!!!! Underground explorers are Underground trash throwers. Maybe that should be their new name for their channel.

[@p.k.5455]

I left a pretty "nice" comment on not treating historical places like a personal garbage can!

[@mickie7873]

When you showed the 90 degree angle of the last ladder to the 400 level, you say "you're pooped", I thought ahead of the climb back out for you two after filming this mine all in one day!! Boy! you two have stamina! At 26:15, those log pieces laying, to the sides of the adet, looked like they were newly sawed!! At 29:26, if your partner wouldn't have went on, now you wouldn't be crawling over "crumble". (poor, worn out Gly's body..ha,ha.). At 33:26, just after the "crumble crawl" of the ore chute failure, look! at the beams that had cracked; dangerous area. At 34:00, that just meant that some explorers (but with no camera), had got here before you.(ya, I can see where that diminishes the feeling of what you two have just accomplished). BUT, you two documented this mine, all in one day, just made 3 episodes of it. Thats a feat! and you haven't climbed back out yet! I'm pooped just thinking of the energies you've expended. Thank you for all your energies so that we could see this.

[@bubbaredneck75]

some of that stone has a beautiful blue tinge to it when u hit it with yer light

[@EldridgeHorror]

They were joking how their channel is going to blow up with gly mentioning them.

[@3030watergates]

Thanks for the really really good recommendation for the other KZbinrs I mean if you have evidence that they left the batteries and the trash then you should have shown it in the video all you are doing is pushing your subscribers to not want to watch your channel I’m sure you will block me for saying this but you have gotten way to big for your britches you have forgotten who you truly are and how far you have come and I believe what others are saying you are not doing this as a hobby any longer you are turning it into a money making venture just my two cents

[@incognitocontrol]

Not to mention, if you're using AAs, why would you not use 2500 mAh rechargables???

[@SarahAParis]

Stop leaving garbage and messing up the mines!🤬😤 Totally agree with you, but can you please ease up a bit on the scolding? I've never left a bit of garbage or graffiti in any of the mines I've explored and I feel like I'm being yelled at.🥺

[@Name-ot3xw]

Gly didn't lie, in this episode he takes his final form. That form is Grandpa Simpson yelling at clouds.

[@Cr4t3rus]

Gly, agree that leaving trash or writing things on the bell stall is s#*t but leaving a small calling card or similar might be something to consider 😉 I imagine that people in the 1950’s would have complained when someone contemporary left a marking in a mine from the 10’s or 20’s but now when we see it, it’s part of the mine’s history.. explorers in 2050 will find something from you and see it as a museum piece 😄

[@L4M858]

Agree

[@CNFCrew]

That’s exactly how I would put it. We often see markings from the 1950s and 1940s in mines that shut much earlier than that. I personally don’t mind seeing calling cards. Also they aren’t permanent they can be removed

[@robertchase8504]

Wabi sabi Stay positive Gly

[@realufosbykeithchapman3638]

Thank you 🖖🏻

[@randilaatsch9758]

Did you check the date code on the batteries? The AA battery was invented in 1907 and standardized in 1947.....

[@nmandmc1]

So sad to see others vandalizing mines, especially museum mines like this one 🤦‍♂️ The old adage of pack it in pack it out should go without saying! Sorry the 400 level didn’t end up exceeding your expectations, but it was a great explore in my book as always! So excited to see what you and Laura have planned for us 😀

[@johnl8996]

I can't believe the stupidity of those people actually defacing the mine. Thanks for calling them out because they need to hear from netizens regarding their abusive behavior towards what is essentially a museum of history.

[@f.k.burnham8491]

19:99- Did you see that ore shoot had 3 thickness if boards on it? All the others had 1 thickness.

[@JDJ1898JADE]

Thanks for the good video. It may have been a bit messy and not as good as you had hoped but still a good explore . I hope the tacos cured what ailed you after you got back up that 400 feet of ladders.

[@PaulTanner-pc1nj]

I'm only 14 mis in and felt i had to pause, iv seen you in terrifying dangerous situation before but glad you guys didn't go in that water, there's so much to see elsewhere anyways...bad vibe from that tunnel. Love your work, stay safe. ❤ from the UK

[@lotharschiese8559]

2:16 You no throws a rock, why? Every kid wants to make it go splash.

[@Tusker2zero2]

Just a quick question. Would it be possible or practical to carry with you guys a 6 inch mini drone to briefly peek down some of those non-flooded 400 level to 550 level ladders? (assuming they weren't all flooded out)

[@rickmiller1429]

I agree with what was said about leaving trash behind, pick it up and take it back out with you. If this had been an actual museum and you wrote on the walls, you would be arrested and fined. Museums have logs where if you want to sign your name and leave a comment.

[@BillyMontgomery-z9q]

I Don't know if you did it Because I Suggested it Last week, but Awesome, you went Back to the More Epic, Action based Opening! Regardless, thanks for Another phenomenal Video!!!!

[@johnwood551]

People leaving their trash is the same below ground as above . I’ve hauled trash out of wilderness areas where people hiked in and just left what they didn’t want to carry back out ,even at the fraction of what it weighed carrying it in. I’m 72 and have been doing that for 60 some years and it still amazes me. I was surprised though in seeing it in caves when I started spelunking.

[@transmaster]

At least a card is not a defacement of the mine itself 😐.

[@harrywalker968]

its still rubbish, & how many of those cans, batts, are theres too.. we get the same sht 4x4ing.. then places get shut down & they scream.. here in aus. at morgan quarry, a trail rider broke his neck, died, place was shut for 2 yrs. now everyone has to be a member of a reg club, or no entry.. if you die, its one less dhead to fk things up.. 2c..

[@nickmad887]

Thanks.

[@karlmcgowan9375]

Gly, Laura, do you know if mine like that nowadays would even be feasible, Due to the price of timber.Guys do you knw if there's an average cost of all of what gets left behind in a mine, as in the costs you'll never get back.

[@ludwigr.reindl4146]

Do a show about cadmium mining, an important ingredient in many batteries.

[@winterprism9227]

I know it is frustrating when other explorers do stupid stuff like that. However, although it isn't your job to do so, do you ever lug any of that trash out? I would think even a small amount would be better than nothing. You'd be leaving the place better than you found it and leading by example. It's one of those things that is like, you can't keep people from doing those things, but you can do something about the things themselves... again, even if it was just a little bit. Anyways, maybe not.. Idk, I'm not down there so maybe there's something I don't know of that prevents one from doing so.. That all said, thank you for exploring these mines because I'm sure I'll never be able to do it myself.

[@DavidBridges-i1q]

Hi Gly, I'm curious does the water table in the mines you explore remain stable or does it depend on the season's or perhaps drop during dry spells 🤔???
