Gas detectors are a must in an environment like this - I recently did confined spaces training and it's scary how easily you can succumb to a lack of oxygen or noxious gases without even realising the danger.
TN has some hot caves, from leaking dump sites, remember places like Oakridge area 50-100miles radius and 'the Bomb' development, and some leaking dumps in Eastern TN too over karst! If thinking about a gas detector don't forget about a bump tester fir it to, so you know it is actually working, but the cost is a lot for just a cavers, and maybe a Giger counter for a few caves I've heard about that are actually radioactive 'hot'. Sorry I don't have specific cave names or locations to share. Just that there are a few 'hot' caves, more than just radon because of leaking dump sites. Glade you left the possible arrow head. I hope you let the archeologist know about it and sent them the pictures, and the location. The value of some things can not be only measured in money. Knowledge and history do have value on there own, even if not everyone thinks it's valuable unless money is involved. Simple taking it word mean it's non-monetary value would be lost. And some places the law is written that you need to not take it, helping to keep sites from being plundered hopefully. Thanks for sharing in your exploration. Looks like a cave to me. The brick wall and federal signs and smell do make me wonder...
That sulfer smell could be a sign of hydrogen sulfide. Hopefully y'all use detectors in the future when you encounter the smell. I hardly know you, but I'd like to see you fellers stay among the living.
Exactly what I was thinking. That's gotta be why that cave or mine was sealed off. It's cool to go cave diving, but you gotta have the right equipment to stay safe
The WPA on that sign means Works Progress Administration, created by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935. The aim was to provide jobs and infrastructure during the Great Depression. The WPA undertook a wide range of projects, from building roads and public buildings to mining. The WPA likely sealed this mine to protect public safety from the dangers of toxic gases and an unstable structure.
One of the primary purposes of the WPA& CCC was to destroy and obfuscate history. It’s THE primary purpose of the Smithsonian. Dept. of Interior and Army Corps of Engineers have played there part as well into the modern era.
@@heathercaltagirone4563 eh i thought the tracks were recent in the mud, not fossilized in stone... i doubt someone is out there in modern times throwing spears at animals...
@@frankmacleod2565 I think it might be "pre-form" not heat treated so it might be in the 8000-10,000 years old, would have been in that ice age sediment. look for mastodon or mammoth bones.
@@65ramblerman how could you tell it wasn't heat treated? I've heat treated chert myself and diagnose heat treatment on artifacts at work, and couldn't tell this was heat treated. Also the term pre-form just means it was like a blank, prior to finer shaping into a finished tool. Preforms aren't limited to the mammoth hunting era, all finished flaked stone tools are preforms at some stage of their development
Caves are really dangerous. That sulfur odor is likely H2S gas which can kill you. There is a reason they would take birds into the mine. If the bird died, then you knew to get out of there.
@@homie-gtv322 yeah they also tried it with 90 meters long sandworm that can Engulf you in seconds.. if it dies it means you found minecraft netherite cause it bonked the sandworm into his forehead or mouth or whatever
It’s absolutely crazy to go in with no gas detector and being that loud in a unknown cave with cracked slabs of rock on the roof they could come down very easy
I spent years underground and scaling walls and backs (Roof) was done everyday. Mines are constantly caving in as the rocks expand and the crushing weight does it's thing. The slabs above you can be pried down with the slightest bit of leverage. You can even do it by hand and it's impossible to tell if one will bring the rest down. Sometimes, you can't see if one is about to fall until you walk under it to the other side of it. It's the walking under it that freaks me out and I would even be afraid to raise my voice in there. Interesting video, thanks.
Theres a massive difference between taking artifacts for profit and finding something cool and appreciating it. I found a site with fossils, western and native artifacts. I reached out to a paleontologist and state parks and didnt even get a call back. I was told by native friends that i was specificly meant to find some of the things i have.
Yeah, about 2 minutes before they say they don’t think it’s a coal mine, I was thinking exactly that. Because there are no coal seams, no equipment left behind. It’s just a very dangerous cave where the roof could collapse in on you.
@@acm_1028lol if it's illegal it's just bc money can be made off it. Rather these guys take it as a keep sake than it be lost in the Earth forever or sold between rich people...
@@acm_1028 It would be one thing to be actively looting ancient grave sites, but I doubt anyone will get into any real trouble for picking up a random stone tool.
I finally went into this giant collapse nobody knows about in the Treadwell Mine in Juneau, it indeed goes down about 500ft to an underground lake that was I think an underground train passage and the ceilings are 100ft+ in some areas easily, there are passages into the mine off the sides of this collapse. The main mine has stopes that are more like 500-1000 feet deep underground haha and an 8 mile train tunnel you can get from one mountain valley to another
The WPA was disbanded years ago, but their records are somewhere. If you care to research this place, call your Representative in the House and ask them to help you locate the records about this mine. Or ask a local librarian. They love to do research.
While crawling through ancient huge ass rocks that could collapse at any second. Not to mention the toxic gases and water they are breathing in and wading through. There's a reason why coal miners back in the day and still get black lung. These caves can be hella dangerous. On the other hand spiders can be poisonous and can kill you very painfully. None are ' fun "ways to die.
@@Faithinhim7 No spider in the US is dangerous enough to be scary, also they are probably surrounded by them in every cave they go to... If they were doing this in australia, brazil or some asian countries then yeah some of the spiders there can actually be scary...
I had a good friend who was a fearless caver. He died during a caving expedition. All the times we were in caves and I was nervous about going further, he never hesitated. He was so afraid of spiders that if he saw one in his car driving down the road, he would pull over and get out until someone dealt with the spider.
16:10 That could be a rusty auld rocker cover from an engine, you can see the (remains of) bolt holes on the sides & the big hole where the oil fill cap would go. Enjoyed the vid, keep enjoying yourselves!
Guys, I don't know where you live but y'all need to check out beacon cave in Bluefield West Virginia. There's entrances that haven't been sealed and it has not been explored and is said to be miles long
@@TTOS69 there are people that said they've explored it and never found the end. The local rescue squad has a map of the first half mile, but after that they don't even know how far it goes and back in the '70s in the newspaper someone went in and found a 30-ft waterfall, took pictures and said the cave still continued and they've never explored the rest of it
If you live in USA, Brazil, Venezuela, Cuba, Canadá, French, UK, (hmmm you got it) you have NO government, that's probably your (and millions of souls) problems

it makes a lot of sense that a coal mine would be in a natural cave. coal forms from deposition of organic matter,, this happens a lot in wetlands. Peat can become coal. If there was a stream that had beaver dams, the dams would create little wetlands and if some of these wetlands became semi-permanent then a lot of organic matter might pile up in it. The streambed might be softer than the surrounding material, which is why the cave already forms a river (because it used to be one) , and in the same place is where wetlands would have had sediment rich in organic matter build up as it flowed down the stream and into a spot that did not flow quickly.
Been watching for about a year now, just wanna thank you guys for always keeping it entertaining. By far one of my favorite channels to mindlessly watch! keep up the great work guys!
That's definitely an arrowhead the napping on both sides tells you it isn't a flake of chert.and the swirly fossils are gastropods pretty much just old snails and mollusk like you said.
If you guys are in western pa right now you should check out panthers cave by oil city pa, theres is a folks tale that the cave goes all the way across the Allegheny River and the native Americans would use it to cross when the waters were too high
! Awesome I live in Schuylkill Co. Near pottsville. Grew up below harrisburg. But I've heard that the original line of big cat can be traced to North America and specifically pennsylvania. Hence Nittany lion. It wasn't just a little mountain cat. The susquehanna river is 3rd oldest in world and may be oldest River to sustain human life anywhere. The true history of the world is hidden from us and our state is even more murky than most when digging in. Our state has played a big part in the shaping of our entire world. And it's not by accident or coincidence. Also susquehanock Indians were the most powerful tried in the entire north eastern u.s. and their history is basically wiped out and they are unknown to most when compared to other tribes. Why? Because this state has a much richer history than we even know.
WPA or Workers Progress Administration, had or has nothing to do with any war! It was a democrat "make work" program started by the president to bring us outta the depression! Built Hover Dam among many other things! All the plaque meant, was they erected the wall to seal it off!
Is it possible a cave was already there that had a coal seam in it that they then mined out? A reverse of you guys finding a cave in a mine, found a mine in a cave, haha? Those spiral fossils are really cool!
Thanks for the awesome video. As far as I know if you find ancient artifact, you get to keep it I don’t know if you took it or not but it’s definitely a keeper.
For the arrowhead I expect if you locate the nearest anthropology department and fire off an email to em basically showing what you found and where you found it, they'd be able to tell you a lot about it since they'd know what groups operated in the area and around what times etc. and also inform you on how to best handle that kind of thing in the future, plus whatever other questions you guys have - they're usually happy to share knowledge.
No, they wouldn't be able to tell them much. It's a flaked flint cutting tool, they were made all over the world just like this, from millions of years ago until the modern era. They used to be much more common, but everyone takes them when they're found, so now they're not as common
i love how excited they get when they think they found the fuzzy crystals then they realize they are unsure wth that even is yet they seems so amused by it they just happy to be there LOL
Dude! Your subscriptions are astronomical now! I startedwhen you had maybe 770 subscribers! Congrats! You are now an American success and can start selling Action Adventure shirts! I can tell you why you've succeeded: 1. This is the most important - you can hold a camera without jerking the camera around and snapping your head back anf forth and up and down so much the viewrer gets car sick and pukes. MOST cavers do that, older guys just can't handle watching them. This is the most important thing. 2. Your fun to listen to and love what your doing. It's infectious. And I don't like spiders either so I know right where you're coming from (never trust anything with 8 eyes). 3. You find great caves and push new passages where you can, it gives viewers a sense of adventure. 4. You get in tight spots that give us claustrophobia that are still mostly safe (if they scared me too much I'd have to stop watching, I don't want to support something that could end you) (please never slither down super tight passages that start sloping down hill, those things have become death traps many times over the years. Hanging upside down is fatal in the youngest strongest people in at most 3 days, usually 2, the lungs fill with fluid after screaming headaches begin, humans just aren't made for that). 5. You make enough so people can make a habit of watching once or twice a week or so, and they start looking forward to it. So there you go - so start buying some silver while you can, the American dollar will be inflated to worthlessness in the next 3-4 years, it can't be stopped at this point, so take advantage of silver & gold while you can and make hay while the sun shines, the precious metals will gain a lot in value and you will be left with something when our economic system caves in and depression hits in 3 or 4 years (when this happens who knows if youtube will stick around) - Yes I'm one of those edgy-kated types that had my own business for 30 years and learned a lot of economics and finances, now I'm old but you're young enough to take advantage of what I learned - the dollar has lost near 90% of its value since I was a kid, it will be a lot worse for your generation (I remember 10 cent coca colas in glass bottles and 4 for a penny hard candy). Best of luck.
I asked yall a couple of years ago if you had ever found any points while caving and yall said no. Cool to see it finally happen, I've found hundreds of them things and that is a knife/blade for sure
That arrowhead isn't an arrowhead, more likely just a cutting tool, what we'd call a biface (2-faced flaked chert or flint blade). I always recommend leaving artifacts where they're found, you can come back and find it again years from now, with your children. Museums and archaeologists and tribes definitely do not need it, they'd tell you to go put it back. Great find though! Proves people were down in these caves, eons ago. Removing the artifact, you remove that context and the magic disappears, and it becomes just a broken rock.
Archaeologist here. The footage isn't super clear but it certainly looks knapped. Notify the state heritage management department so they can asses the context and investigate the cave further if necessary. Artifact "collectors" are just looters. And others here saying its only illegal because the gov wants to make mobey on it is nonsense. Its because once you mess with a site, tgar information is then gone forever. The information is the important part.
Yes, and the government has seized ALL rights to ALL the information that they don't know about yet until suck time as they know they know if they want it or not. Just like the Indians land, they want it ALL! Anything Native American belongs to the US Government. Not the Indians. YES SIR!
That ship sailed on this cave a long time ago. If it was a mine that evidence was found, overlooked, and destroyed by the mining company long ago. Then a wall was put up, and you aren't allowed to go there. I'm sure these two guys will cause so much more damage 🤣 and many cultures would call YOU a looter if not outright a grave robber. You only aren't when the government gives you permission to dig. "Author-ity"
@@rooster3640that is incorrect. Artifacts and archaeological sites belong to the landowner, not the government. Also, the landowner has access to information about archaeological sites on their land, it's not kept by the government from everyone. Generally kept secret from the general public, to discourage looters.
@@frankmacleod2565 I agree with you man don't listen to the first comment. "Quick report it to the government so they can keep it secret!".....Pffffffff kick sand kid I've had enough of these fake columbia university turds hiding history from us.
Seems like a natural cave adjacent to an old coal mine. The wall helps reduce acid mine drainage by keeping air / oxygen out. The company I used to work for got several. contracts in WV sealing up old mine openings.
At 7:42 those fossils are Basket stars and they still can be found in the deep oceans. Some coal was of low grade and not worth mining out. Like where I live coal was found but of a low BTU so they never mined it. Which is good, I don't have worry about mine subsidence taking out my home.

@@BrandonLake-qv9dw oh hell yea😂😂nightmare fuel at its finest, well I’m claustrophobic so it be getting me hella anxious
You guys talk like your living in the 90s and I love it 😂❤ and the cave videos rock, dude 😎
I can't believe you found that arrow head in there! I would have never seen it. Fun trip
That’s pretty solid that you left it behind.
another good video, always excited to see that you've uploaded! Would love to see a caving gear collection video!
Lol at some people here... They only uploaded this video 6 minutes ago and it is 18 minutes long, there is no way you watched it all, lol.
I watched it twice. 3.5x baby.

Let’s Go!🎉 Awesome to see you guys in a mine for once! Western Pennsylvania? I can take you places in NEPA you’d love.
Have you never heard that old saying curiosity killed the cat 🤣
Yes, but satisfaction brought it back!
I'm glad you guys are out there checking these places out! Ain't no way! No way! No, how! I'm going in there! 👍🥰 all the best to ya!
BILL AND TEDS MOST EXCELLENT ADVENTURE DUDE!
That's definitely an arrowhead the napping on both sides tells you it isn't a flake of chert.and the swirly fossils are gastropods pretty much just old snails and mollusk like you said.
Take a shot for every time he says “Dude” - and a double for “Holy Crap”…
blacked out drunk..send help. 😅
That’s amazing! Thanks for the thrill!
Good to see you guys back. Stay safe
Very cool and very cool find with the arrowhead
Very cool duuuuuude!
This is no coal mine. It’d be black everywhere if it were.
You guys are making me wanna go explore.
Good job, as usual bro-skis🖖
It never ceases to amaze n horrify me how many spiders are in these places...
I find myself wondering what they are eating in there??!!
@@amberandrews6842 Each other maybe
@47rapflex or other bugs, lol
But they are thriving in caves and finding other insects to eat.
Doesn't look like a place I'd want to spend my months or years of life as a spider.
If you guys are in western pa right now you should check out panthers cave by oil city pa, theres is a folks tale that the cave goes all the way across the Allegheny River and the native Americans would use it to cross when the waters were too high
! Awesome I live in Schuylkill Co. Near pottsville. Grew up below harrisburg. But I've heard that the original line of big cat can be traced to North America and specifically pennsylvania. Hence Nittany lion. It wasn't just a little mountain cat. The susquehanna river is 3rd oldest in world and may be oldest River to sustain human life anywhere. The true history of the world is hidden from us and our state is even more murky than most when digging in. Our state has played a big part in the shaping of our entire world. And it's not by accident or coincidence. Also susquehanock Indians were the most powerful tried in the entire north eastern u.s. and their history is basically wiped out and they are unknown to most when compared to other tribes. Why? Because this state has a much richer history than we even know.
that water coming from the place you found the arrow head looks absolutely delicious and refreshing
WPA is a Labor camp during time of war. It's federal protected as the wall does not mean go around to a non trespassing entry
WPA or Workers Progress Administration, had or has nothing to do with any war!
It was a democrat "make work" program started by the president to bring us outta the depression!
Built Hover Dam among many other things!
All the plaque meant, was they erected the wall to seal it off!
Beavis and Butthead at work...
I'd say Bill and Ted 😂
Is it possible a cave was already there that had a coal seam in it that they then mined out? A reverse of you guys finding a cave in a mine, found a mine in a cave, haha?
Those spiral fossils are really cool!
Duuuude!😂 That high pitched "duuuude" at the 5:13 mark tipped me over the edge! I laughed so hard I had a coughing fit!!❤. Thanks dudes 😘
"I gotta activate the long sleeves." i would have activated getting the hell out of there long ago 😂😂
Yes brother, Real deal for sure. Cool find keep it! You was ment to find it. cool video brother Thanks for sharing.
Swirly things may be ammonites.
Nematodes I think
Or small crinoids
I think that the fossils are gastropods. They're a kind of sea snail. could be 400 million years old!
I don't know what any of those things are, but I do know what I'm about to Google™...
My alarms bells are like NOPE NOPE - so I am glad you are filming it because only way Id see that
I love how they went through all that work to seal off the cave, but forgot the massive hole next to it.
It was done in 1940 ,the side eroded
Maybe more of a spear tip than a arrowhead but nonetheless a sick find.
Keep the awesome videos coming!! Stay safe
Thanks for the awesome video. As far as I know if you find ancient artifact, you get to keep it I don’t know if you took it or not but it’s definitely a keeper.
Depends on where. You can’t on federal land.
Ugh I wish I could explore with u guys. Look so cool all the places and things u do.😊
There are hundreds and hundreds of miles of tunnels beneath Butte Montana.
There’s a city underneath my Shasta
Yay! Be careful... You may be entering an alien base😊
DoI keeps a close eye on this channel if not producing it outright..they won’t be exploring anything too cool.
For the arrowhead I expect if you locate the nearest anthropology department and fire off an email to em basically showing what you found and where you found it, they'd be able to tell you a lot about it since they'd know what groups operated in the area and around what times etc. and also inform you on how to best handle that kind of thing in the future, plus whatever other questions you guys have - they're usually happy to share knowledge.
No, they wouldn't be able to tell them much. It's a flaked flint cutting tool, they were made all over the world just like this, from millions of years ago until the modern era. They used to be much more common, but everyone takes them when they're found, so now they're not as common
likely would also get some form of trespassing fine or summoned to court for admitting to being in a federally blocked location.
@@geronimo5537 well the university anthropology department doesn't issue citations but yeah, that too
When you come across things like arrow heads, pottery, other artifacts--archeological etiquette = leave it where you found it.
fart juice lol
Danger 🚫🙅♂️ don't try this at home
i love how excited they get when they think they found the fuzzy crystals then they realize they are unsure wth that even is yet they seems so amused by it
they just happy to be there LOL
If you discover a cave that's deep with a sour or sulfur smell - you should mask up before proceeding on supplied air.
Anyone got a match
Dude! Your subscriptions are astronomical now! I startedwhen you had maybe 770 subscribers! Congrats! You are now an American success and can start selling Action Adventure shirts! I can tell you why you've succeeded:
1. This is the most important - you can hold a camera without jerking the camera around and snapping your head back anf forth and up and down so much the viewrer gets car sick and pukes. MOST cavers do that, older guys just can't handle watching them. This is the most important thing.
2. Your fun to listen to and love what your doing. It's infectious. And I don't like spiders either so I know right where you're coming from (never trust anything with 8 eyes).
3. You find great caves and push new passages where you can, it gives viewers a sense of adventure.
4. You get in tight spots that give us claustrophobia that are still mostly safe (if they scared me too much I'd have to stop watching, I don't want to support something that could end you) (please never slither down super tight passages that start sloping down hill, those things have become death traps many times over the years. Hanging upside down is fatal in the youngest strongest people in at most 3 days, usually 2, the lungs fill with fluid after screaming headaches begin, humans just aren't made for that).
5. You make enough so people can make a habit of watching once or twice a week or so, and they start looking forward to it.
So there you go - so start buying some silver while you can, the American dollar will be inflated to worthlessness in the next 3-4 years, it can't be stopped at this point, so take advantage of silver & gold while you can and make hay while the sun shines, the precious metals will gain a lot in value and you will be left with something when our economic system caves in and depression hits in 3 or 4 years (when this happens who knows if youtube will stick around) - Yes I'm one of those edgy-kated types that had my own business for 30 years and learned a lot of economics and finances, now I'm old but you're young enough to take advantage of what I learned - the dollar has lost near 90% of its value since I was a kid, it will be a lot worse for your generation (I remember 10 cent coca colas in glass bottles and 4 for a penny hard candy). Best of luck.
"Hmm maybe I can squeeze myself through here..."
*sees spider*
"Nope. Too Tight."
I asked yall a couple of years ago if you had ever found any points while caving and yall said no. Cool to see it finally happen, I've found hundreds of them things and that is a knife/blade for sure
Doo00Ooo00oooOoo00D!!!
Ya like doood
That arrowhead isn't an arrowhead, more likely just a cutting tool, what we'd call a biface (2-faced flaked chert or flint blade). I always recommend leaving artifacts where they're found, you can come back and find it again years from now, with your children. Museums and archaeologists and tribes definitely do not need it, they'd tell you to go put it back. Great find though! Proves people were down in these caves, eons ago. Removing the artifact, you remove that context and the magic disappears, and it becomes just a broken rock.
You walked right by some ginseng.
Looks more like hidden history to me..
Archaeologist here. The footage isn't super clear but it certainly looks knapped. Notify the state heritage management department so they can asses the context and investigate the cave further if necessary.
Artifact "collectors" are just looters. And others here saying its only illegal because the gov wants to make mobey on it is nonsense. Its because once you mess with a site, tgar information is then gone forever. The information is the important part.
Yes, and the government has seized ALL rights to ALL the information that they don't know about yet until suck time as they know they know if they want it or not. Just like the Indians land, they want it ALL! Anything Native American belongs to the US Government. Not the Indians. YES SIR!
That ship sailed on this cave a long time ago. If it was a mine that evidence was found, overlooked, and destroyed by the mining company long ago. Then a wall was put up, and you aren't allowed to go there. I'm sure these two guys will cause so much more damage 🤣 and many cultures would call YOU a looter if not outright a grave robber. You only aren't when the government gives you permission to dig. "Author-ity"
@@rooster3640that is incorrect. Artifacts and archaeological sites belong to the landowner, not the government. Also, the landowner has access to information about archaeological sites on their land, it's not kept by the government from everyone. Generally kept secret from the general public, to discourage looters.
@@frankmacleod2565 I agree with you man don't listen to the first comment. "Quick report it to the government so they can keep it secret!".....Pffffffff kick sand kid I've had enough of these fake columbia university turds hiding history from us.
Seems like a natural cave adjacent to an old coal mine. The wall helps reduce acid mine drainage by keeping air / oxygen out. The company I used to work for got several. contracts in WV sealing up old mine openings.
At 7:42 those fossils are Basket stars and they still can be found in the deep oceans. Some coal was of low grade and not worth mining out. Like where I live coal was found but of a low BTU so they never mined it. Which is good, I don't have worry about mine subsidence taking out my home.
You were inside a melted building.
Welcome to Meltology!!
I think these guys may be DoI..like the desert explorer dudes are BLM or CIA. In order to present a modern reinforcement of mainstream science/history
