When you see a "broom handle" sticking out of a hole inside a mine, please don't touch it! It's probably a tamping stick. Tamping sticks were non-conductive material (usually wood) used to tamp sticks of dynamite in to a blasting hole. That being said, I really enjoy your content!! I probably never would have found your channel, except that I follow Ghost Town Living. You rock!

Well boys. I went to work at 18 years old in the coal mines in WV. My first day going to work after getting all of the required certifications, I had to witness a fellow miner Be carried out after being pretty much decapitated. The dangers are much higher than anyone ever wouid imagine. Dangers that you have to worry about outside are completely different underground. Stay safe boys. Always be aware of your surroundings. It’s not something to take lightly. Good content.

my grandpa was a coal miner and let me just say.. major respect. he has so many health issues that almost all directly relate back to his mining career. my heart goes out to all the people who never made it out of the mines, and it’s a shame that even the miners who didn’t have to pay with their life, many had to pay with their health for the rest of their lives. thankfully he is still with us, and this reminds me i need to ask him some more stories about his mining days. we’re in western PA btw!

I came within inch’s of dying in 2019 iv got 3 places on my brain. Can’t spell for shit had back surgery 3 shoulder surgeries and my right shoulder won’t heal or get better and will be a 3rd surgery one day with a complete replacement just wanna wait as long as I can.. so I wouldn’t call him a wimp for worrying about himself and the crew/team in the cage.

I never saw the elevator going down from that angle .. it is open from the sides and there is space enough for someone to fall down .. that is scary! I was so excited for you all to go down there because Brent never did much down .. just explored it quickly .. so this was so exciting for him as well :)

Anytime you handle sticks of dynamite. You have to wear really good leather gloves. Because if ya don’t. It will cause your blood vessels to dilate. Giving you a spinal headache. Which trust me....you definitely don’t want. Also some blasting caps can be set off by static electricity alone. So I would definitely do some research on how old it is and what kind it’s is. Before messing with any of the explosives down there. If I had to guess. I would guess that it’s probably harmless as old as it is. But I would definitely check first lol 🤙🏽

For those who don't understand. Dynamite is nitroglycerin "stabilized" by mixing it with diatomaceous earth. That works quite well until it starts oozing out of the dynamite. Then it's just as touchy as nitro is reputed to be. In the early days of rail, a crate was "lost" at a station's cargo area-no bill of lading, no mfgr marks, leaking an oily substance. The station manager decided to find out what was in the crate by opening it with a crowbar. The explosion destroyed the station and did significant damage to surrounding structures.

This was awesome! I love this kind of stuff. HeavyD Im happy you guys got the opportunity to do this. Glad you guys made it safe. Someday I think it would be amazing for this mine to be 3D scanned in each level, and turn it into a VR experience that people can download, and use with a VR headset to be able to do their own exploring virtually. And make some things interactive with the experience so in VR we could pick things up and take them back to the elevator, and maybe even do our own mining! That would be sooo cool!

I agree on 3d scanning/mapping but so that there can be a full 3D map of the mine. With a 3D map of the whole accessible system you could find where different areas connect. Running a scan between the various known mine openings, and then scanning within them. (By keeping the scan going between openings you would have each map connected so possible connections could be found, or even made. The only issue is time, and equipment needed to do such a task would be rather expensive, and the process time consuming.

I'd have been far more concerned about loose debris falling down the shaft. If something falls 700 ft it's going to be moving at almost 150 mph. Event a small rock at that speed could kill you,.

I think it is a great idea to get @MrBeast there for a challenge video, purely from a numbers point of view. Mr Beast has one of the biggest audiences on KZbin. I’m guessing that the vast majority of people who might watch that video on Mr Beast’s channel, won’t know about Cerro Gordo and what Brent is trying to do there. So, by introducing #MrBeast audience to it, it may bring in some new donations to Brent’s GoFundMe for Cerro Gordo, or at the very least Brent may get a lot of new subscribers for his channel, which in itself would help Brent make more money from views of his videos. All in all, I think it was very clever to try and get Mr Beast to come do a challenge there.

I'm in awe every time I see some of these old workings when I think of the shear ingenuity that the old timers put into accomplishing these gargantuan labor intensive projects. To think just the act of cutting the support timbers used was done mainly with hand saws. Never mind having to pack everything to the mine site then down into the mine and then having to haul the ore out and all of this was done for silver. When weighed against the amount of time and energy it took to pull it from the ground you got to wonder some times are we crazy. There had to be some pretty horrific injuries and I'm sure people died down there too. So my hats off to those rough and tumble men from our past because they where some bad ass mofos.
