Another "Hole," well-done!! Phil and Tommy exploring Northeast Pennsylvania's Anthracite Coal Mining history. You can read countless books on the subject, but until you visually see the real-deal, the rest is just theoretical. You two are entertaining and extremely REAL! Thanks again!
I got to say You definitely have large brass balls, crawling around in all those tight underground spots you explore. I really enjoy your channel, my Father was a Coal Miner in the Centraila, Raves Run, Shamokin Mines in the 40's and 50's.
That grave yard could use a little sprucing up ! I'm watching that spider crawl down the pipe as your going in 🕷Cool sight with the roots hanging down in ! What do you see , total chaos 😃 ! Great stuff, thanks Phil and Tommy stay safe !
You could never mistake the smell of mine air, My grandfather (coal miner) used to take me coal picking, went to caves and old shafts when I was a little girl. The scent sticks with you for life.
The roots hanging down soaking up moisture from the air is awesome to see! To think they're supposed to be enclosed in soil to soak up water but still work this way hanging, is awesome. Nature is awesome! :)
You guys are “amazing!” I come from a whole lineage of Coal Miners and they mostly all worked in the Marianna Mine area. My Mom was even a coal miner for 20 years. My Dad was as well but he had claustrophobia and made it about a year before he got the job as a Rural Mail Carrier. I now live close to what was Darr Mine along the Allegheny Passage Trail as well as the awesome ruins of Yukon area Mine. I love mine history and you guys seem to respect it a great deal. Thank you for showing us this important history of Pa.
Boys another banger!!! Who knew a tiny drainage hole would lead you guys into the belly of the beast! This engineers must have been thinking where do we send the water? I think there’s an old mine down the hill🤣🤣 the gob walls in that place were absolutely insane. That was a cool one.
@ 1:54 " it's got that mine smell to it " ha ha ha 🤣😂🤣 @ 2:51 that pipe looks like it serves as an air vent 🤔 @ 9:45 OMG look at the size of those stones, if they drop down: it's GOOD NIGHT! 😮 From: Scranton, Pennsylvania
They used to dig under the Towns to follow the Coal Veins, my Mom grew up near Centraila, Atlas Pa. and the grade School would shake a bit when they were blasting 300 feet below in the mines.
Watching these underground explorations makes me wake up and realize that there's so much to explore. I know that I might seem as a lazy bum, sitting in front of the computer, and watching someone crawling through tight spaces. I kind of start wanting to explore and travel the world but the heat outside is unbearable these days. Well, found another excuse basically. Anyways, as always, "Amazing PA" is indeed amazing. Thank you!
If your channel suddenly stops with new uploads, I will fear the worse. That one was pretty sketchy, but thanks for the great adventure, stay safe as always. Untill the next one.
i had not noticed the name change lol, matters not im already subscribed and pennsylvania is a bugger to spell but being from a UK mining heritage i love the videos, the % angle of some of the seams the old men chased is ridiculous some are near vertical. my grandad worked a seam in moston colliery manchester UK that was 1 in 2 yards but that is nothing to some of the seams ive seen on this channel. no matter what country all the old miners had a hard life and kept our industries and and our lights working.....brave men
The valley is blanketed by multiple veins varying in size and depth. The veins run down one side under the river then back up the other side with vertical working chambers on both ends.
I love watching how brave you are, even the smell of wet metal (if there is) would make me turn back 🤢Holes in the ground, wet metal, beasties and nowhere to run or move are nightmare stuff. Glad you didn't risk the collapse area.
Excellent content, still waiting on the video explaining your experience and devotion to the depths of population 1. I’d love to hear about what sparked your interest etc.
I’ve explored a dozen caves in upstate NY, and I don’t mind tight crawls much, but what I do hate is loose ceiling stone! It’s enough to make me abandon a route!
Just found u and subbed. I live in Texas but my mom's family is in Floyd county KY. Her family were coal miners for generations. No thank you, no belly crawling in caves or mines for me
Phil would be a great pa. Just imagine father and son crawling under precarious rock collapses, battling oxygen-depleted air, wading through ice cold water while they sink through the quicksand, and musing over old mine carts together. Man I wish I had a dad like that.
Wait, what? The cave is located under the graveyard? That would be the sketchiest part of the cave! When you guys went into the cave, there was a really big spider crawling down the drainage pipe and it looked like it was moving towards the second guy! If that spider had crawled on me, I would have reached certain octave levels that humans were not meant to reach! Again, there is no signs of graffiti anywhere? You guys continue to find places that people do not frequent! I find that absolutely incredible! I find your videos, very very interesting and I am now subscribed! I'm binge watching these videos, while at work, making this comment! It appears that there are a lot of hidden mine entrances in Pennsylvania, sometimes you guys crawl straight into the ground! How on earth do you find these entrances? I really love these videos, I find them both informative and entertaining, as well as, friggin fascinating! Awesome Video! Thank You!
@yankee2yankee I also just think Amazing "PA" sounds more ambiguous than Pennsylvania. Fortunately my subscriber count has increased quite a bit since the name change
My Father was a Gold Miner when we lived in a small apartment above a bar in Deadwood, S.Dakota. I wish I could ask him more about it now. I will when I get to heaven to be with him, rest his beautiful soul. For now, I wonder, which mine it was. I want to know more!! Do you guys ever think you'd go there to film someday, even though your name is Amazing PA?
I just recommended the channel, and you changed the name lol. it's all good I'm sure they'll find it. well, I live in Pa, that's at least 1 local viewer. that spider looked like a brown widow; I wonder if it had a red hourglass on the underside.
@@Luis-bo2uj the spider? yes. far as I know there's at least 3 widow spiders. the black, the red, and the brown widow. they all have the red hourglass on their undersides. probably won't die, but it'll be very unpleasant.
Found this cemetery at random. Was driving and noticed the church. When I explored it I found animal bones. Had no clue about the tunnel, though I have a good idea where it is now.
You know, if the timber is oak, it is a lot better preserved, the wetter and out of oxygen it gets. Google Translate says it's called black teak, but in Swedish it's called "Svartek", where "ek" is oak. It turns to black teak after some time (most likely from a couple of hundred years to a thousand or so) without oxygen. It is often used on the bottom of wells because it can get a couple of thousands years old and be preserved if it is completely void of oxygen.
You guys are fricking crazy. I am from the WIlkes-Barre area where they used to heat the whole town with steam heat powered by coal. Have you been exploring around here? Be careful
@@AmazingPennsylvania sir, that blue bottle you found , the bromo, so cool, but you left it right there. Probably for the best it may have contained a cave demon. Love your videos, stay safe !!!
I thought you're not supposed to disrupt water underground could you please tell me what the safety rules on that are so I can get it straight in my head....ty

What a feeling ' unimaginable for me ...
I love your channel. I'm here in NEPA and knowing all the crazy stuff you find is in my backyard is mind blowing!! Keep up the great work, dude!!!
No matter the industry, the old time miners were super brave for the work they did and the small amount of pay they received.
And the black lung they had to suffer with afterwards with no medical benefits.
Brave no
they knew the risks anyway!
My grandfathers were coal miners, I never imagine this was the kind of horror in the earth they had to endure before black lung took them.
you now realize you live on a prison planet and the struggle for your very existence is the food that nourishes your captors.
The roots hanging down soaking up moisture from the air is awesome to see! To think they're supposed to be enclosed in soil to soak up water but still work this way hanging, is awesome. Nature is awesome! :)
That shot with the spider was very cinematic... well done!

Always top quality content thanks fellas, from UK England
Phils videos are great! Entertaining,adventurous,and educational all in one :)
Boys another banger!!! Who knew a tiny drainage hole would lead you guys into the belly of the beast! This engineers must have been thinking where do we send the water? I think there’s an old mine down the hill🤣🤣 the gob walls in that place were absolutely insane. That was a cool one.
Awesome explore as always.
Excellent video!
Thanks for sharing guys that one was pretty awesome! See you in the next hole🍻
First! Let’s Go! 🎉#APA💪
Just found your channel in my recommendations. Love your videos . Subbed
Love your channel and you amaze me how you can squeeze thru some of those places
Man, that went for a good ways! Another good discovery.👍 And I was waiting for that big ol juicy spider to crawl onto Tommy at the beginning 😅
Excellent find and video 👍👍👍 hard workers back in the day 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 💪💪💪
My mom always said that the miners were her heros .
PA native here 😎 Such a beautiful and historically rich state.
amazing channel love the frequency of uploads and the amazing content, great work!!
Im from PA good old Philadelphia , an Lancaster roots as well.

HOT DANG GUYS! THANK YOU! STAY SAFE n Have Fun!
those old miners really did just get on doing their digging. Mad seeing what they were working in.
Congrats to Amazing PA for hitting 30k subscribers. So many great mine videos. Definitely a new favorite channel of mine.

Nice I saw a nice juice spider in the beginning of the video.Yikes!
Wow. That was amazing. Thanks so much.
" Anything for some good footage " love it !
Great Video People loved every moment of it !!!
Yoyr sense of smell found another beautiful mine😮😊
Smells like,shit! Perfect!
No coal mine air smells good. It's got a carbon peanut butter scent.@@robertlyman9789
Looks like very harsh working conditions for our forefathers that's for sure!
That just looks sketchy AF 😮...
Stay safe lads, 🙏, very interesting content 👍 👏 👌
Nice find, just goes to show, need to check out every last hole :)
If your channel suddenly stops with new uploads, I will fear the worse. That one was pretty sketchy, but thanks for the great adventure, stay safe as always. Untill the next one.
It’s not a question of if, it’s when. These guys will die in one of these dangerous unstable mines.
Stop with your negative rhetoric keep it to yourself.@@apollyondemonlord9823

Dude at first I thought is this MJF? Your videos are legendary and unique dark creepy mines
You guys have balls to be down there..and always remain calm and focused..maybe old miners I a past life
Love seeing all the good things you find in pa
I love watching how brave you are, even the smell of wet metal (if there is) would make me turn back 🤢Holes in the ground, wet metal, beasties and nowhere to run or move are nightmare stuff. Glad you didn't risk the collapse area.
Great job as always
Excellent content, still waiting on the video explaining your experience and devotion to the depths of population 1. I’d love to hear about what sparked your interest etc.
I second that.
Great video. Great 🕳
I’ve explored a dozen caves in upstate NY, and I don’t mind tight crawls much, but what I do hate is loose ceiling stone! It’s enough to make me abandon a route!
WOW you find them all. Thank you brave guys.
Just found u and subbed. I live in Texas but my mom's family is in Floyd county KY. Her family were coal miners for generations. No thank you, no belly crawling in caves or mines for me
Loved that water. A beautiful find.
I was born in PA!! In Pittsburgh actually. All the way thru college! I miss home!
I'm related to many Crawford's south of Pittsburgh. Any chance you're related to grant or Brian Crawford?
People are going to assume the channel is about how you're an amazing father😂
That's me, good old "Pa" lol
I'm hoping for more dad jokes now 😂
Phil would be a great pa. Just imagine father and son crawling under precarious rock collapses, battling oxygen-depleted air, wading through ice cold water while they sink through the quicksand, and musing over old mine carts together. Man I wish I had a dad like that.
"It's got that mine smell to it" ...."Great!".....It was at this moment, we knew they was going in.
the use of kids of the low mines like that was common. Little guys, like 12 & under
Safe Journey!
Have a GREAT DAY!!!

@RobertWoods-g8e Thank you very much for watching and subscribing! A lot of hard work goes into finding these places but we love doing it
It’s a reflection of society that many people can’t spell Pennsylvania…
@yankee2yankee I also just think Amazing "PA" sounds more ambiguous than Pennsylvania. Fortunately my subscriber count has increased quite a bit since the name change
The earth reclaims the depths of what was claimed and ravaged by man. Eventually, this find will be no more. Good find and stay safe!
Man I had no idea Pa had that many coal mines. It's unbelievable
Largest Anthracite deposit in the world
@mikemazz3377 I believe it
Yo we were searching at this cemetery for hours where's it at
That second drop looked extremely sketchy but your "definitely" sounded very confident and it paid off
Lol, all you'd have to do to keep me out of those holes is dump a bunch of fake, plastic bugs around them and, I'm out! 😂
My Father was a Gold Miner when we lived in a small apartment above a bar in Deadwood, S.Dakota. I wish I could ask him more about it now.

All those colors……. Angels! The free energy is coming from Up in High Heaven.
Ih Yeah! And Angels built & Helped Build these Sacred Palaces … from His Millennial Reign!
My knee's are sore from just watching this.
Stay safe.
Yeah, I love your content and I'm nowhere near you (:
Southeast Pennsylvania here and that looks like the mine in Monessen, Pennsylvania? That graveyard looks familiar
awesome
I hear there’s a huge, long cave under north York yous might want to check out!
Nice sized Red Widow Spider at the beginning.
"Some of these miners had to have been contortionists."
Or children lol.
That took guts. An awful lot of collapsed roof in there...👍
Nothing like huge spider 😮
My heart is in my throat every time I watch your videos
Wow you guys have some B*** amazing thanks for showing us what's in there !!!!!
Team up with the action adventure twins, dudes always getting deep in Holes
I just recommended the channel, and you changed the name lol. it's all good I'm sure they'll find it. well, I live in Pa, that's at least 1 local viewer. that spider looked like a brown widow; I wonder if it had a red hourglass on the underside.
re they dangerous? this guy goes sleeveless everywhere
@@Luis-bo2uj the spider? yes. far as I know there's at least 3 widow spiders. the black, the red, and the brown widow. they all have the red hourglass on their undersides. probably won't die, but it'll be very unpleasant.
Thanks either way! PA or Pennsylvania will bring up my channel
you ever find the place where the mine come to the surface to take all the coal out or the holes you clime in the entrance good job be safe
You can sidelight the gravestones like you would when inspecting drywall to get a better view of aged text
7:04 keeps going but they hit water. 14:03 is also blocked where a tunnel used to be.
I'm laughing So hard at the spider moment!
👉🏻 INCREDIBLY ☠️ DANGEROUS 👈🏻
Found this cemetery at random. Was driving and noticed the church. When I explored it I found animal bones. Had no clue about the tunnel, though I have a good idea where it is now.

That. Spider saw Tommy's face and freaked out like what the hell is that thing LMAO 😂😂😂😂
How do you guys get past cave crickets and bugs
👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
Gotta say, that's definitely one of my favorite places at the intro. 🪨⛏️🤘
@@MikeOrkid I knew you'd recognize it
You guys are fricking crazy. I am from the WIlkes-Barre area where they used to heat the whole town with steam heat powered by coal. Have you been exploring around here? Be careful
@tracymcdermott3461 I'm in wilkes barre several times a week!
Hi from scotland 😊. I came across your channel randomly one day and I'm so glad I did. Love your videos.
Do you ever run into animals and/or creepy crawly things in your adventures
Please be more careful. You are way too beautiful to be lost to a tragic accident.
How do they find their way out?
I would get lost the first turn off the straight path going in! 😂😅
Crypt Keeper City....LOL
Do you guys always leave all relics in the mines or ever remove any small items ???
@@kcbrutality5271 Very rarely do we ever take a thing. Some explorers will clean the place out
@@AmazingPennsylvania sir, that blue bottle you found , the bromo, so cool, but you left it right there. Probably for the best it may have contained a cave demon. Love your videos, stay safe !!!
And bring red / flourescent orange spray paint to mark your way out! Or string,ir flagging tape!
I thought you're not supposed to disrupt water underground could you please tell me what the safety rules on that are so I can get it straight in my head....ty
