interesting stuff but way too much music, more like a pop video, its very distracting

Get in there y done you take a fold up shovel so you could dig it get me in there i do it

Dude where's my Mine Shaft?

Shame about the music! Why aren't these old mines full of water?

Very enjoyable video. The Dude thing may hinder your rise. No sub just on that, tough love👍

Excellent intro to solving the emmet problem. Is your pal called Dude? Anyways: a nice fresh take on exploring cornwall. Flambards thrills look a bit tame now…

Great to see George Russel taking time off off from F1 to look around Cornwall…Dude 👍

That small walled area might have been a working platform for something. There's similar on Dartmoor where sett-makers stood all day making setts, and always lots of waste chips nearby, but I don't know how many Setts would have been made where you were.

We're looking for SHAFTS

Great video but I can do without all the thrashing guitars. It detracts from the eerie silence of the underground workings, other than dripping water...

Your haircut makes me dislike you. I hope we never meet in any mine.

Treggoning hill has one! Im going tomorrow and hope it will be good! Any suggestions?

Dude! No way! Im going there tomorrow and i never thought someone would have recorded it!

very intresting but not being american all the dudes got on my nerves alot

Great video. Good explanations. But please dispense with the music. It spoils a great atmosphere...

Absolutely epic trip, Watched it from start to finish.

excellent video guys. Looks a very interesting place.

Amazing find guys , good luck finding the new found shaft

Great video. Love a good mine explore. That one looks lovely. I'd love a private mine of my own

I was born in St. Ives and as a young kid was always fascinated by 'holes in the ground'. I came across what looked like an old adit many years ago at Man's Head - west of Porthmeor Beach. There is a rocky cove just west of the the peninsula and it is accessible at low tide. There is a sea-cave there a you can quite clearly see high up, a passage cut in the rock supported by timbers. As a kid I was too scared to venture further but it looks ver much like an old adit. I was wondering whether it was associated with Wheal Ayr (also known as Wheal George) which caused all that trouble with subsidence to a terrace of houses a while back. I was born about fifty yards up from the site of that old mine and can relate a story concerning the latter that happened in my childhood. Anyway, I've not found a mention of that sea cave anywhere so if you are ever in the area please take a look. Thanks, Malcolm

That ruined building was far to small to be an old engine house, and why is he wearing his hard helmet when he's not even going underground 🤔

Boring that we cant see the outside of the mine -we just end up seeing dark tunnels with no context. All this secrecy is just rubbish -its not like everyone who sees it will be filled with a raging urge to put their life in grave danger in order to see something theyve already seen in your video.

I live in Cornwall some of these shallow shafts are sometimes flint mines pre copper and bronze age and can be very very old

You do tours??

Had a look at this shaft years ago, unfortunately almost the entirety of the workings are below the river tamar. Wheal Edward not much further up the road is huge and has lots of unexplored parts.

Really enjoyed this video, off to check out more of yours.

I would not go in there if you gave me a pasty! Lots and lots on Cornish miners emigrated to the U.S.to Northern Minnesota and Upper Peninsula Michigan 175 years ago more or less. Still can get pasties in those areas.

Great stuff Ben! Keep it up! Daz.

Thanks for your videos guys. Most enjoyable. Thank you for sharing ❤

Most people wont know what the names you use mean, adit, whinze, stop, level, etc can you have diagrams showing them for non miners?

Thanks for the video, what app you use on 14:00

This was partly dewatered in 1964 for sampling hence the sack and carbide marks, She was first recorded working in 1560 and one of the oldest in Kernow

Well done chaps... Good explore!

At 7:49 that is not a former engine house. Far too small boys

What’s an ochre dam? No way to find another entrance in?

Would love to go down some of these mines but not the abseiling don't like heights brilliant video

Hey dudes. Den here. I don't have to do that either. I'm gonna send my boy Steve. He's a dude. Expect him sometime.

I think it's cool that those earlier workings would have been dug out by people speaking Kernowek. I wonder who it would have sounded in that space.

Very good guys, that was pretty exciting watching along with you exploring it for the first time. Nice work, think there is anything more down there to see one day?

What incredible men they were to dig and work there.

You guys should film the location of that other ‘unknown’ shaft (the new discovered one)… In relation to the one you entered, on the surface. Such as hiking from one to the other. I suspect they are not too far from one-another?!

Please, please drop the ridiculous music.

Must be dozens of places like this in Cornwall still to explore

Strange how most Cornish shafts tend to be rectangular where as in the Northern Pennines, they are mostly circular. Nice stope you found, just imagine working in there with just candlelight, and all the dust and noise. Dropping through those deads looked sketchy. I was going to say, lucky you don't have to climb back up that whinze but then... lol

I’m a complete addict of all mining exploring channels - only advice (said with respect), but a LOT less “dude” in your dialogue would make your videos much more professional; and MUCH more pleasing to listen to and watch for all ages. Keep up the good exploring work.

Absolutely nothing like it, 😮.

Awesome work lads. That stope at the bottom of the climb down was sensational.

Someone needs to see what's behind that ochre dam. 😊

Pre dynamite bell pits back filled from one to another.

At minute 14:15 when showing the slab with writing on it, that slab is probably rich in gold but was not mined because it would have been before the 1880s-90s when acid leaching came into use to extract gold . If you go back get samples for testing or take a jewelers loop to inspect . Bring some tourists ,charge them a tour fee, then fill up their backpacks and make them haul it out ..
