“Gly”: One of the unintended consequences of abandoned mine exploring videos is some people will watch this content and explore abandoned mines themselves. DO NOT ENGAGE IN THIS ACTIVITY! Please read this videos description area for further information. Thank you.
You don't have to be a professional to explore a hole in the ground; we do it all the time. Go have fun but realize the risks! A little too much drama with this channel.
@@americanadventureoutdoors4213 Calm down mate, you're overreacting. How many people die every year in an old mine? Not even enough to count on one hand.
Gly , I'm so glad that you found a partner with Mr M . I hold a very high regard for the men that worked those mines. I can only imagine how difficult it was to mine through all that rock . My uncle Tom was a coal miner in Wales.I met him in 1974 before he passed away from "black lung" . I used to dive deep underwater wrecks when I was younger and watching you two explore the unknown sure brings back memories. God bless both of you and stay safe .
I'm HOOKED, Gly. My folks introduced me to Ghost Towns in the mid-50's and up thru 1980, have explored virtually every ghost town and mining camp in Nevada. I'm not into exploring mines... maybe it's a 'self-preservation thing,' but I derive incredible - if vicarious - pleasure exploring them through the lens of your camera. What's incredibly fun is when you're going into an area and I recognize it; having been there myself years earlier. While awaiting the next 'new episode,' I've gone back and started watched the previous episodes from the beginning. I want to THANK YOU for the education in Geology - not to mention the mining geology of why they dug in specific areas and what they were looking for. I think that makes your explorations exceptionally educational, as well as entertaining. I had an aunt and uncle (now deceased) who were avid rockhounds. They would explore spring thru fall, and during the winter Uncle Ted would high-grade and cut/polish his finds. One of my favorite stories... he was using a medal detector on some abandoned copper mine haul roads in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. He found a rock that sent the detector off the scale. He threw it in the rock bag and kept going. That winter he processed it. (Get a grip - here it comes)... a Three and One-Half POUND silver nugget! I can only hope that after he died, my nephew kept it. Without question, it was the 'find of a lifetime.' Explore Safe! Carl
“Gly”: This is just an a amazing state and I’ve only scratched the surface of all the incredible places to explore here. Last winter Canadian Frank found a silver nugget as you described deep down in the Castle Dome Mine in Arizona. I told him to sell it on eBay as I’m sure it would fetch a few hundred dollars but he decided to add it to his museum. I’m really happy your enjoying the channel and I’m 100% sure your going to recognize the place I take you next weekend. Stay tuned!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Geez - this is gonna be a LONG WEEK! Let's see how accurate my clairvoyant mind is... when I read your comment the first thing I saw has Hamilton/Treasure Peak. Then I 'saw' the Belmont Mine on the west side. In any event, somewhere in the White Pine Mtns? The last time I was in Hamilton, ten years ago, they had bulldozed the majority of the town and laid out rubber matting to reprocess the tailings. Parts of the Withington Hotel still stood and I could make out the Wellls Fargo Bank since I knew where it'd been, but very little else. OK, counting the days until the next video's out.
I'm a professional explorer.. Of my refrigerator... But honestly I love all your explorations of these great mines and the fact you always put it out there to be safe. Keep up the great work!! 🌹
Shows you, you don't know what is in a package till you open up... Interesting mine.. Glad you gave the fabulous "MR. M" some screen time. See you next week.
Watching you descend into the a very dark and scary drift.....a cold shiver runs up my back bone....Great job on the video, so glad nothing bad happened..............JB..........
Another great video for us Gly, there looks to be a great friendship going on there and nice to see some more involvement from Mr M, it makes for a great exploring team.
Wow that was nice pic of that Mr. M found of you Gly. funny t hat they took the time to draw in the mines back in the day maybe they had to have a little fun when you are stuck in the mine all day you have to be creative... thanks guys for the great video and take care . see you next week.....
Another great vid, Gly! You are always teaching us something extra, which I appreciate over the other "enthusiast" mine explorers. It's been fun watching you and Mr. M together.
I liked your sandcastle analogy. It's similar to my own teaching for the limestone solutional caves of the Cumberland Plateau: think of a tiny hole drilled in a block of wood. Of course some of those holes wind up being enlarged to mighty proportions: there are sections of Mammoth that are 40 feet square and larger in cross section, which flood to the ceiling every spring. Recalling your comments about arch structures, the broadest ceilings in Mammoth do cave in, in a process called breakdown: the ceiling will stop breaking down when it reaches an arch shaped configuration. Mammoth is the type example "long cave" on this planet, and in its long and broad trunk passages, we find that we are walking along on the ancient rubble from the collapsed ceiling, with the true "protopassage", the volume dissolved out by water, buried under thousands of tons of rubble. Most of the collapse is ancient, but freeze-thaw "frost wedging" near entrance zones can promote new ceiling collapse, such as in the winter of 1992-3 when a slab 40 by 20 by 1 foot thick calved off the ceiling of the Rotunda. The park was closed to visitors due to the severity of the weather, but I have seen more than 50 people stand at any one time exactly beneath where the slab fell. No one was there to see it fall. I believe the Park Service left it there, and built a handrail around the area where it fell. The fragments are all perfectly in place, like dropping a completed jigsaw puzzle on the floor. Speaking of mining, the slab also destroyed some of the Saltpeter mining remains from the War of 1812 (these have been restored), namely the base of the pump tower, whose former top at the top of the Rotunda is actually higher than the entrance, enabling saltpetre rich water ("mother liquor") to be run through tulip poplar pipe logs to the entrance. When Corona is over, you should come and take the Historic Tour of Mammoth, you would dig seeing 208 year old mining works.
Hi Gly & Mr M, that first mine was actually pretty cool, I liked the way the sunlight illuminated that open stope. Those ladders really were death defying, how you managed to get down into that sump was nothing short of awesomeness. The geology in that second mine was very cool to see, I'm guessing the red parts were iron ?. Thank you both for the great camera work, I think that Mr M will make a pretty good presenter and you both make an a fantastic team full of knowledge and high jinx, very cool. Thank you for sharing these amazing places with us, much love to you both. xx💖💖
“Gly”: Thanks Sue! Well, if you liked this weeks video your going to love next weeks. If I were selling tickets for next weeks video I’d only sell them for half price because your only going to need half your chair.... the edge! Lol Take care and have a wonderful week!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces 😂 what a great comment about the tickets. See now you've got me counting the days lol. Take care and also have a great week. xx🤘💖
Another great find Gly, the comedy between you 2 is good and the effort you go to to film these's mines is awesome. Thank you , nice way to wake up on a Sunday. Pete Australia
Gly, I love how you say at the beginning "professional explorers" and 5 minutes after your intro your asking mr. M if he passed gas in front of you. Always good videos, as always stay safe, and congrats on 60k! It wasn't but a month ago I was saying congrats on 20k.
Another awesome video. This is the best channel on TH-cam. The mix of emotions is unparalleled! You and Mr M make a great team and the gun you two have is great. Thanks Gly and Mr M for another awesome exploration. Saturday’s can’t come fast enough! You da man.
Gly and Mr. M, absolutely love your videos. Watch 2 or 3 or 4 every night. Besides being outside in a beautiful area, we get to see the inner workings of old school miners and some not as old. But always entertaining. I think I've almost watched every single video you have on your channel. Stay safe and keep um coming. Big fan. 👍👍
“Gly”: Thank you very much! And thank you for watching my older content! Now you can see how the channel has truly evolved in such a short amount of time.
Another GREAT episode gentlemen. Mr.M must be officially on the payroll now with all the screen time he's getting, makes a BIG improvement having the two of you doing the explorations
Amazing video like always guys watching these videos I can learn new things I never knew before plus I feel like i'm exploring the abandoned mines with you guy. I didn't know Mr. M was 83 I thought he would be in his late 50's early 60's he moves very well for being 83 years old I know you guys are professionals but I can't help but worry about you guys in some of the mines that you go in keep up the great work guys stay safe
You 2 are so comical. Be nice to do a small mine with you guys. Great video as always. Really enjoy the commentary as well. Informative and funny. Stay safe.
Wow Mr. M is 80 years old? My grandparents are under 80 years old and they barely can move around without complaining about pain. Great to see these videos with you and Mr M!
I watch allways your video,s amazing find,s beatyful locations and your patner MR. M great guy . I wish you Gods blessing stay save brother. Regard and greting,s from the Netherlands Chris Reinink
As always a really good video from the two of you. No worries about me getting into a bad situation in an abandoned mine, cause I am not giving up my place on the Armchair Team that enjoys our exploring from this side of the camera. Take care and looking forward to next week. Is Randy still exploring with the two of you, kinda miss the three stoo.... Musketeers. Thanks again for what you do.
I look forward to seeing your videos every week you guys are so funny and you teach us about mines and history .I see Jeff Williams videos to .can't wait to see the next video be safe you guys .👍🇺🇸🗽
I’m really glad I checked out your channel (heard about you from Wonderhussy). I find this very interesting. I have long wanted to explore a mine (physically impossible now), but only ever been through caverns here in Texas. I appreciate you sharing this with us! You are either very brave or crazy... 😂 Definitely brave. ❤️
I am new to viewing and already addicted. Love the commentary. I am particularly interested in the geology and as i know virtually nothing about minng am keenly interested in why miners chose a specific place to mine and you explain this so well. Keep up the wonderful exploring. I'm keenly waiting on your next adventure.
Yayyy new video to watch with breakfast! Absolutely enjoy your work. If I might ask, when you look at google earth, what signs do you look for in order to see if there's a mine someplace?
Watching from Sydney Australia , my dad worked in mines most of his life ( modern ones ) said is was a great job with good pay and the sort of mate ship that only exists in mines , however because of the dangers he made sure we didn’t choose that line of work . Keep up the great work you do with Mr M and please don’t ever change your intro , keep safe .
Hi guys, cool video you guys make a good team and I'm glad you are giving Mr. M more camera time maybe he can be point man from time to time a share type deal, Please stay safe out their too. Sharing on FB.
Great vlog. Mr. M kills me! I think the SBD was from Tacos! Lol. Where was your rope going down that decline? You must have “ big brass ones” now! Love ya.
Wow - Stay Out And Stay Alive !! I agree - too many tenderfeet have fallen down a shaft and learned it isn't the drop that kills, it's that sudden stop hundreds of feet below. I imagine that knowing your innards are just jelly wrapped by a thin layer of skin isn't any fun as everything fades to black. Exploring is for the experienced and even then, there are treacherous places that will kill you from one heartbeat to the next !!! Well, it started kind of slow, but the quality is improving as you get further in. Very nice closeup on the vein there !! Thanks for the great view of the vein and the open stope as well. Watch out for the skinny ladders, people with wide feet won't fit too well.
“Gly”: Next week Loyal. Just wait until you see next weeks video. I survived but I’m going to show the world what will kill you in these places. Scary stuff... stay tuned!
How dangerous is it? If we look at the annual deaths in the active mine and quarry industry, the rate is 6 per 100,000 miners per year. Assuming miners work every business day (2916 hrs) the death rate per hour per 100,000 is 6/(2016 x 100,000) or 6/ 208,000,000 or a pretty small number per person per hour. Mining and quarrying seem to have a low hourly risk. But does this carry over when mostly fit, mostly younger males poke around in an old mine? I don't know. But I do know that industry has good safety rules and rescue capability. There is always someone to call for help. That is not the case when a couple of people walk into an old and unknown mine. There a non fatal accident can become fatal because you may not be able to self rescue and cannot count on outside rescue arriving timely or at all. I for one am glad to see the emphasis on safety. Younger guys and these days girls are likely to have no sense of danger or make good preparation for entering a mine, no plan for dealing with a problem. No safety man outside the mine.
Another great explore Gly, love that Mr.M humour. I'm always amazed to see these nice dry mines, all the mines I've been in were wet and would flood without pumps. I can see the attraction to exploring these dry mines, but who besides Canadian Frank likes to crawl inside a wet, slimy, long-abandoned mine full of rotting timbers?
Great video like all I have watched so far, with plenty of info/details👍. Your right about underground mines being cooler, well, generally anyway🙂. I used to be a Underground Electrical Technician, however I originally started working in the mines on the surface, Ball & Sag Mills, gold & nickel. One day my Electrical Forman said to me that "next week you start at Edward's Find Underground Mine" which was nearby in Marvel Loch Western Australia. That was the best decision He/I made. Underground work was exciting, you can never get bored and it was cooler generally especially when the Trucks and Loaders weren't working. Plus no damn flies which are a nuisance in the Australian bush/outback. Love your channel and the duration/length of your video's👍.
i got 22:30 minutes into your video and i saw the best ever two commercials i've ever seen in my life. Xero Shoes and CleanT where they actually talk to you to advertise their product and they make sense.
Thanks for sharing your passion with us. Particularly cos not only have I learnt a lot but I would definitely not have b*lls to do what you do. Although I am still undecided if you're an absolute legend or bat crap crazy. Stay safe and thanks again
You 2 characters make a good team everything you showed was of interest at least me today and I look forward to the next episode God bless you and safe travels
One of my biggest passions is photography. I own several professional cameras and lenses and other equipment. The brief glimpses of your custom-made video rig and a few comments about it have only wet my appetite to know more about it and the video/photog equipment that you carry. Could you please perhaps devote a single short episode, maybe 15-20 minutes, going over your camera frame and video recording devices that you use. I would love to know much more about your rig(s)! I am not a mine explorer and do not intend to compete in any way. Thanks. Love your channel. Be safe always!
“Gly”: Thank you! Well, for right now the equipment I use is proprietary as I’m doing my very best to make my videos stand out compared to the other mine exploring channels. The rig you briefly saw in the video is a 100% custom design that I’ve slowly developed over the last year and a half and I’m really happy with its performance. I named this one Rig 2.0. The previous model was PVC-2000. Yes, it was literally made from PVC pipe that I purchased at Home Depot.
I would also like to add that the next time anyone comments on your physique just point out that you are drought and famine resistant. Then shove em down the nearest ore chute lol
Gly at the 32•45 mark as you came up the last ladder i noticed what looked to be a decent crack in that main support beam you were putting a bit of weight on as you climbed out of the shaft. Be careful Gly cause that was one scary vertical drop underneath you. Did anyone else notice that exactly at the 32•47 mark an old miner had printed in black on the shaft wall behind Gly, right shoulder, J 55.??? Another top shelf journey through an old mine with the inimitable Mr M providing humour as dry as those accidental dust clouds 💨 ☺️.
Enjoyed the walk thru both mines. Mine #1, what is the composition of the walls? They look white and chalky on camera. You say Ryolite.....is that made up of ash fall? I enjoy the geology of your explores. You give us some clear photography of interiors. Find some way to strap your camera so that you can use two hands on those ladders; its tense watching you go down and more down! A smooth switch with the camera as you start into mine #2. You got me on Calachi. Whats that made up of? Thanks for lightening up the tenseness of your explores with the light hearted patter of you and Mr. M. I'm glad that you have the extra man with you.
Nice clean mine, I hate those false floors, I had a right leg go threw one once, thank god left leg held, I try to tinker bell tippy toe fly over those now.. lol..
With the stuff that y'all had to talk about in this exploration it reminded me of a movie that I saw not too long ago I can't remember what the movie was called it had something to do with almost 100 miners being trapped in a mine that collapsed I think it was in Haiti. Anyway I enjoyed your video looking forward to the next one.
In among the rhyolite being excavated on my property some yrs back I found a piece of rock abut 12x8 in which turned out to be black and white opal flowing over a piece of petrified wood. This video reminded me of it. Looking forward to the next adventure is sorta like looking forward to the next week sat matinee serial. Maybe slip in one of the shafts with the camera on a bungee then next week show yourself grabbing a safety line. Job well done.

Don't worry, Gly. I'm too old, fat, and broken. I'll live vicariously through Mr. "M."
I'm going alone, without a light and no form of communication, and you can't stop me! :D
You don't have to be a professional to explore a hole in the ground; we do it all the time. Go have fun but realize the risks! A little too much drama with this channel.

This entry monologue sounds like in some 90's tv series. I love it.
Hes useless hes to scared to go the sketchy stuff gly
@@alexwood8712 Just like your comments.
Love all the technical info about the geology and what the miners and prospectors were looking for. MORE of that will be highly appreciated.

Gotta say.. the quality of your videos has greatly improved. think you're getting the hang of this.
Gly. Please consider investing in some climbing gear. For what you are doing, you wouldn’t need heavy rope to hold a long fall.
From an old climber.
My new favorite way to spend time on Saturday...armchair exploring with Gly and Mr. M! Thanks for another fun explore guys!

Gly and Mr. M. What a better way to spend a weekend! Thanks for all you guys do!
“Gly”: Thank you! Your really going to enjoy this weekends video. By far it’s my best work yet and one hell of a cool mine.
I’m really glad I checked out your channel (heard about you from Wonderhussy). I find this very interesting. I have long wanted to explore a mine (physically impossible now), but only ever been through caverns here in Texas. I appreciate you sharing this with us! You are either very brave or crazy... 😂 Definitely brave. ❤️
“Gly”: Thank you!
I hate it when it finishes! Great stuff!
Never knew id find abandoned mines so fascinating, yet here I am.
I sure hope I get around as well as Mr.M in 40 more years, hell I'm tired just watching 👀 😆
Yes, he's doing well for 83.
@thomas talley Stay active, I body in motion stays in motion
@@danieldosso2455 My grandpa golfed through his retirement until he turned 90 and his body just couldn't anymore. Keep 'er movin'.
@thomas talley - His secret is a lot of iron (ore) in the diet 😁
I have been waiting for the episode
How you guys doing ? Hope you doing well thanks for the fun you bring us 👍
For once I"m glad I was wrong . You have a great channel so stay safe. Clay
Anyone else get a Wild American vibe from Gly's opening monologue. " Look at the mine explorer in it's natural habitat"
Yeah, Gly sounds a lot like Marty Staufer when he narrated his "Wild America” show.
So glad that you safely climbed out of that deep hole - I didn't want to see you join those bunny rabbits!
I am new to viewing and already addicted. Love the commentary. I am particularly interested in the geology and as i know virtually nothing about minng am keenly interested in why miners chose a specific place to mine and you explain this so well. Keep up the wonderful exploring. I'm keenly waiting on your next adventure.
“Gly”: Thank you very much! I’m really happy your enjoying the channel!
Really enjoy watching you and Mr M
Great episode :)
Gly, the prelude was super 😎 Tourist mine or not, you never know, so, best to take a few minutes and take a look.
Thanks Gly, have a great week!👍
Yayyy new video to watch with breakfast! Absolutely enjoy your work. If I might ask, when you look at google earth, what signs do you look for in order to see if there's a mine someplace?
“Gly”: I’m pretty much just looking for disturbances that exist within the surrounding terrain.
Watching from Sydney Australia , my dad worked in mines most of his life ( modern ones ) said is was a great job with good pay and the sort of mate ship that only exists in mines , however because of the dangers he made sure we didn’t choose that line of work . Keep up the great work you do with Mr M and please don’t ever change your intro , keep safe .
"It Kinda looks like" the back of Mr M's Head LMAO. Thanks Gly and Mr M for another great exploration!
Hi guys, cool video you guys make a good team and I'm glad you are giving Mr. M more camera time maybe he can be point man from time to time a share type deal, Please stay safe out their too. Sharing on FB.
Great mine cheers 12.58 am saying up not to miss this awesome mine from Melbourne Australia
I really liked Mr M's sendoff at the end it changed things up.
Great vlog. Mr. M kills me! I think the SBD was from Tacos! Lol. Where was your rope going down that decline? You must have “ big brass ones” now! Love ya.
Best show in the weekend :)
Wow - Stay Out And Stay Alive !! I agree - too many tenderfeet have fallen down a shaft and learned it isn't the drop that kills, it's that sudden stop hundreds of feet below. I imagine that knowing your innards are just jelly wrapped by a thin layer of skin isn't any fun as everything fades to black. Exploring is for the experienced and even then, there are treacherous places that will kill you from one heartbeat to the next !!! Well, it started kind of slow, but the quality is improving as you get further in. Very nice closeup on the vein there !! Thanks for the great view of the vein and the open stope as well. Watch out for the skinny ladders, people with wide feet won't fit too well.
“Gly”: Next week Loyal. Just wait until you see next weeks video. I survived but I’m going to show the world what will kill you in these places. Scary stuff... stay tuned!
Thanks Gly and Mr. M for another way cool adventure. Team #1.
How dangerous is it? If we look at the annual deaths in the active mine and quarry industry, the rate is 6 per 100,000 miners per year. Assuming miners work every business day (2916 hrs) the death rate per hour per 100,000 is 6/(2016 x 100,000) or 6/ 208,000,000 or a pretty small number per person per hour. Mining and quarrying seem to have a low hourly risk. But does this carry over when mostly fit, mostly younger males poke around in an old mine? I don't know. But I do know that industry has good safety rules and rescue capability. There is always someone to call for help. That is not the case when a couple of people walk into an old and unknown mine. There a non fatal accident can become fatal because you may not be able to self rescue and cannot count on outside rescue arriving timely or at all.
I for one am glad to see the emphasis on safety. Younger guys and these days girls are likely to have no sense of danger or make good preparation for entering a mine, no plan for dealing with a problem. No safety man outside the mine.
You guys are both adorable and informative, its a good combination! Thank you for making these videos, I love watching them :D
They are a good team. Enjoy their camaraderie.
“Gly”: Awww... thank you! 🤗
I explore the mines too. Right from the comfort of my living room sofa! 😂 Excellent video!!
Another great explore Gly, love that Mr.M humour. I'm always amazed to see these nice dry mines, all the mines I've been in were wet and would flood without pumps. I can see the attraction to exploring these dry mines, but who besides Canadian Frank likes to crawl inside a wet, slimy, long-abandoned mine full of rotting timbers?
“Gly”: Oh yes, those are Franks specialty. I prefer my mines dry and full of bats and snakes. Lol
Keep up the good work MR. M, keep him in line . Mr M was Sly Gly on the fly at the end of your clip?
Great find. Shows how perilous this stuff is..
Thank you for taking us along.
Awesome adventure!! Always a👍🏻 You earned that good dinner. Be safe🌵
Excellent explore! And you lit the fire under me again, that means I'll be underground on Dartmoor again in an abandoned copper mine tomorrow!
“Gly”: The best thing in life is most of us on this planet have free will. Be careful out there and have fun.
Great video like all I have watched so far, with plenty of info/details👍. Your right about underground mines being cooler, well, generally anyway🙂. I used to be a Underground Electrical Technician, however I originally started working in the mines on the surface, Ball & Sag Mills, gold & nickel. One day my Electrical Forman said to me that "next week you start at Edward's Find Underground Mine" which was nearby in Marvel Loch Western Australia. That was the best decision He/I made. Underground work was exciting, you can never get bored and it was cooler generally especially when the Trucks and Loaders weren't working. Plus no damn flies which are a nuisance in the Australian bush/outback. Love your channel and the duration/length of your video's👍.
My new favourite channel 🙌🏼
Fantastic video as normal. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures
i got 22:30 minutes into your video and i saw the best ever two commercials i've ever seen in my life. Xero Shoes and CleanT where they actually talk to you to advertise their product and they make sense.
Thanks for sharing your passion with us.
Particularly cos not only have I learnt a lot but I would definitely not have b*lls to do what you do.
Although I am still undecided if you're an absolute legend or bat crap crazy.
Stay safe and thanks again
I love these videos and your jolly voice. Yall have so balls going into these mines like that as far as you do.
Very cool - I also like that its the two of you having some fun. Kind regards
Another great and informative , ride along in your front pocket. Analogy of how caves are formed was simple too. "Gly" your the go to guy.
You guys make a great team. Enjoyed
You 2 characters make a good team everything you showed was of interest at least me today and I look forward to the next episode God bless you and safe travels
Wow thinking about dinner straight after eating a 'silent but deadly'. That's nasty! Great mine explore once again guys.
One of my biggest passions is photography. I own several professional cameras and lenses and other equipment. The brief glimpses of your custom-made video rig and a few comments about it have only wet my appetite to know more about it and the video/photog equipment that you carry. Could you please perhaps devote a single short episode, maybe 15-20 minutes, going over your camera frame and video recording devices that you use. I would love to know much more about your rig(s)! I am not a mine explorer and do not intend to compete in any way. Thanks. Love your channel. Be safe always!
“Gly”: Thank you! Well, for right now the equipment I use is proprietary as I’m doing my very best to make my videos stand out compared to the other mine exploring channels. The rig you briefly saw in the video is a 100% custom design that I’ve slowly developed over the last year and a half and I’m really happy with its performance. I named this one Rig 2.0. The previous model was PVC-2000. Yes, it was literally made from PVC pipe that I purchased at Home Depot.
I would also like to add that the next time anyone comments on your physique just point out that you are drought and famine resistant.
Then shove em down the nearest ore chute lol
“Gly”: Lol
Gly is as strong as a bull and climbs like a mountain goat. Any couch patater who comments about Gly is probably as mushy as a slugs belly.
Gly at the 32•45 mark as you came up the last ladder i noticed what looked to be a decent crack in that main support beam you were putting a bit of weight on as you climbed out of the shaft. Be careful Gly cause that was one scary vertical drop underneath you.
Did anyone else notice that exactly at the 32•47 mark an old miner had printed in black on the shaft wall behind Gly, right shoulder, J 55.??? Another top shelf journey through an old mine with the inimitable Mr M providing humour as dry as those accidental dust clouds 💨 ☺️.
“Gly”: Yes, we looked at that crack before going down. I was keeping an eye on it as I loaded my weight on the ladder.
Hit the like button before I even watched cuz I knew it was good lol ll Thanx Gly
“Gly”: Thank you!
Enjoyed the walk thru both mines. Mine #1, what is the composition of the walls? They look white and chalky on camera. You say Ryolite.....is that made up of ash fall? I enjoy the geology of your explores. You give us some clear photography of interiors. Find some way to strap your camera so that you can use two hands on those ladders; its tense watching you go down and more down! A smooth switch with the camera as you start into mine #2. You got me on Calachi. Whats that made up of? Thanks for lightening up the tenseness of your explores with the light hearted patter of you and Mr. M. I'm glad that you have the extra man with you.
Nice clean mine, I hate those false floors, I had a right leg go threw one once, thank god left leg held, I try to tinker bell tippy toe fly over those now.. lol..
With the stuff that y'all had to talk about in this exploration it reminded me of a movie that I saw not too long ago I can't remember what the movie was called it had something to do with almost 100 miners being trapped in a mine that collapsed I think it was in Haiti.
Anyway I enjoyed your video looking forward to the next one.
In among the rhyolite being excavated on my property some yrs back I found a piece of rock abut 12x8 in which turned out to be black and white opal flowing over a piece of petrified wood. This video reminded me of it. Looking forward to the next adventure is sorta like looking forward to the next week sat matinee serial. Maybe slip in one of the shafts with the camera on a bungee then next week show yourself grabbing a safety line. Job well done.
Might have to add some cheekey shots of mrs Ms amazing cooking nother awesome explore thank you guys stay safe
