I would like to understand what the role the waterwheel had underground. I have never heard of this.

[@brianstacy1527]

Absolutely amazing the amount of research, digging, climbing, and exploring that went into finding this, and now we all get to appreciate it. Totally awesome.

[@dougsherk1298]

Hello from Buffalo NY what an amazingly cool find, it looks to be in pretty good condition considering it's age. And I would be just as excited as you are to stumble across this while exploring an old abandoned mine.

[@cliveruffle6016]

Can you imagine hauling in and building all that in the light of tallow candles and the lamps of the time? It beggars belief they managed it. Astounding. Brilliant find!

[@thumperjr100]

Absolutely fantastic my friend. Congratulations on this historic find. So happy it was you and your dedicated team who found this first.

[@cruising1792]

Wow! Congratulations on such a significant find, I am so pleased that Lost Mines were the ones to discover it!

[@SiaVids]

A fascinating video on a fascinating channel. I'm so pleased for you on your discovery. 😃

[@zworm2]

Fantastic joinery in that wheel. Imagine building that above ground and transporting it to assemble down in the mine, pitch black. Routing the water and all the other rods and parts. Just amazing!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Wow! That is absolutely incredible. What a magnificent find guys, talk about knocking it out of the park. Good job!

[@gingerbread6614]

Oh my gosh WHAT an amazing fantastic find. And you found it. Oh how you must feel. We think That is the best find ever.

[@marknewsome9563]

Amazing!! Well done guys

[@NewArcadian]

Bloody well done! Fantastic piece of industrial archae.

[@mikaelabowen5781]

This is absolutely breathtaking!! I am astounded that so little attention has been paid to such a wealth of important industrial archaeology - thank goodness you're on the case. I am genuinely in awe.

[@gcr1]

You really are some mad lads! Thank you for putting your lives at risk for our entertainment and education!

[@philipmurphy2]

A incredible find from Lost Mines, That is quite cool.

[@MagnifiedGiant]

Awesome! Could you imagine seeing this thing actually working? Just incredible!!

[@ibanezleftyclub]

That is absolutely amazing.

[@waynebfr8953]

Amazing the amount of work it would have taken to set this system up back in the 1840’s & to have so much of the system still intact sitting there quietly for 140 years for you guys to find all this Perfect well done 👌🏻

[@graysynther2169]

Wow .. some of that timber looks to be In remarkably good condition for its age 😮

[@rg3412]

Historical find of a lifetime. No luck, just years of hard work paying off. Congrats Ioan!

[@kevinbrennan2004]

Congratulations. Truly, a find of a lifetime. May it last for many years to come.

[@mirkatu3249]

Very exciting find, and it's in such great shape! Hope Al gets to see it one day. :-)

[@daleferrier3050]

I’m amazed what good condition it is in. What a find!

[@RedTSquared]

Great Googly Moogly! That is some serious Jules Verne type stuff! I can't even imagine thinking about how much engineering and effort to run the Box Launders for Water to power not one but two friggin HUGE waterwheels underground. I mean, they had to excavate the voids the waterwheels would be built in, dig out all the channels for lifts, rods, chains and what ever else they'd need to make all this happen. Truly this is a hugely significant find for Mining Archaeology, not just in the UK but in the whole world! Grats to you all, well deserved and earned!

[@redsteadyon]

Fantastic, The effort those people put in is Amazing... Well done never to be seen if not for people like YOU...

[@andyc750]

amazing find, huge amount of work to show us all, thanks

[@LostMines]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Ray69Smith]

Wow how awesome is that to have discovered in an old mine !! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ktmcintyre]

Absolutely stunning! How awesome it must have been standing there and actually laying eyes on it.

[@iainpaton1865]

Amazing find well done friend please keep the great videos coming friend from Scotland 😊

[@alanpurdy703]

Wow, you all are legends. Thank you for sharing your awesome finds, and I hope there's a way to preserve both wheels .

[@Paul-pb3vq]

Unbelievable guys. Thanks for sharing. You must be absolutely buzzing.

[@trudydavidson528]

Amazing!!! The work & time it must have taken to get all the materials & then put it together in the mine just blows my mind!! What a great find guys!!!

[@johnsmart964]

What else can be said but that this is magnificent, it is an honour for us to be able to see this waterwheel. The people will be absolutely delighted to see this preserved in visual form for the people to see. Thank you for all the work you do in this regard.

[@eopoep]

Congratulations guys. Amazing discovery. I remember when you were starting out, how excited you would get over a candle stub. This must be mind blowing.

[@bebeandjohnnotsonomadiclif5287]

[@lolcatz88]

Your channel truly is deserving of more views and subscribers! Such amazing finds and explores. Thank you so much for taking the time to document it all for us

[@nigelridgeway2579]

Well done guys, I think you've just made history and wont be forgotten. Brilliant work

[@youruptownlowdown7745]

Congratulations on your find! Absolutely stunning!

[@johnfisher7757]

What an incredible find! Enjoyed that a lot. I hope that Al is well 👍

[@jenniferwatson26]

I have just read your report in Descent, This explains very well how the 2 wheels worked together. Such simple but efficient engineering. Thank you for your exploration work, and keeping interested people informed with both the films and the report. J

[@davegillman6296]

Absolutely brilliant video great find

[@RedcoatsReturn]

Well done in this historic discovery! 😲👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😊👍👍

[@mikedoblo4782]

amazing how they did all this in candlelight and by hand. hope Al and Lois are ok

[@WideOpenThrottleGarage]

Amazing finds 👏

[@volktales7005]

Wow! That is very cool! Amazing how the condition of the wood is so well preserved. Well done at finding this gem!

[@britannia-foundry]

Congratulations, as far as industrial archeology is concerned this as you say is a once in a lifetime find, I can imagine that the WOWEEEEEEEEE when you first found it was so load it could be heard on the surface, Cwm Ciprwth waterwheel is in the next valley to me, it is about the same size and age but it is cast iron, still impressive but on the surface, so your find to be made of nearly all wood and built so far underground is a huge testament to the craftsmen of the day and such an important artifact, because it is organic I am pleased your team have discovered it in time to record it forever and for everyone to apreciate, thank you for sharing.

[@feelinghealingfrequences7179]

lovely

[@nickjohnson217]

What a monumental discovery, well done 👏 nice to see we still have people dedicated enough to keep our history alive, these sort of discoveries are so important for our children’s children to be able to understand the true meaning of heritage and history. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy all your efforts keep up the good work you do you are appreciated very much. 👍😉🍻🎡⛰🎡⛏🧨

[@stephengardner9128]

All your hard work pays of well done. It's always a pleasure to watch your channel. your making history come alive.

[@johnbyrne4466]

Very well done for finding this absolute Historic find underground..

[@kevinbalfour]

The joy of exploration...nice 1

[@dfp76]

What a absolutely epic find

[@drekor72]

What a magnificent discovery! Congratulations! I bet it was hard to leave, walk away from it.

[@LostMines]

Yes it was!

[@ttxela]

That's a magnificent find, well done chaps 👍

[@dirtwizard5647]

I usually give points when do, but you Sir get a level up. Im speechless ! Great work ! ❤✌️👍🖖

[@pa5287]

Blimey what a fantastic find.

[@mikaelabowen5781]

As a (very!) non-expert, but fascinated audience member, on the subject, I'd dearly love to see a working model of this - with labelled parts and descriptions of function, etc. This thing is magnificent.

[@phoule76]

exciting find, fellows!

[@colinburleigh]

I can see why you are so excited; you have found half of the underground waterwheels in the U. K. What a fantastic find and congratulations to you all . Years of exploring, writing and excavating has now paid off and we need to get the museum up and running so that all the wonderful finds and exhibits can be seen . I urge people to have a go at your underground tours which are great. I hope Al is alright as he seemed under the weather last video. I can't wait until next week.

[@TheSnazah]

Massive congratulations you clearly deserve it. Immense knowledge and courage pays off I salute you

[@008Birdman]

Congratulations on such an amazing discovery. This is absolutely stunning! Not only is it there first it’s been seen in 130-140 years, it has never had this much light shined on it since the wood went into the mine. Sure wish Al could have been there too. So cool! This is the best ever!

[@David-jn4fx]

Geeze and grr Loan 😮

[@twin40dave]

Great find, guys 👏

[@jw2218]

What would be the possibility of finding out who made the water wheel and if there’s an archive and prints on the building of it?

[@MegaCharger9]

I’d like to echo what Brian Stacy said, this is an absolutely excellent video…. Kudos to you all for the amount of research that you all did. God Bless, Stay Safe and looking forward to more video’s.

[@wideyxyz2271]

Now thats very cool!

[@Chrisb2986]

Certainly worth it. Well done . Lost no longer

[@kurtloptien185]

Utterly spectacular and in such beautiful condition. It's nearly unfathomable to imagine the whole of engineering of this wheel. Really really cool. You mention that it turns/operates counterclockwise. If you move to the other side is it not then operating clockwise? I've always been impressed with the Laxey Wheel, Isle of Man, built almost entirely of wood in 1854. It's 72.5 feet in diameter, but totally above ground, so lacking in the underground aspect.

[@philipsimisker9742]

Thank you lads

[@GLF-Video]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@RickNelsonMn]

Fantastic!

[@davidsnider1703]

Stunning discovery

[@josephkerley363]

That is absolutely awesome! Get some good measurements. Maybe even build a scale working model. So cool. It'd make a good graphic for merch.

[@iainweller452]

Wonderful episode guys

[@Sestra_Prior]

Wow! What an amazing find! Chuffed to bits for you.

[@LostMines]

Yes it was!

[@MikeOrkid]

Absolutely incredible. Just goes to show the ingenuity and talent those men had back in the day. Thanks for sharing this amazing find with us.

[@oxskirra]

Cheers mate what a discovery!

[@mrlister2000]

An incredible find! Were you tempted to see if it spun ever so slightly?

[@solidlift]

What a find!!
