Frank, are you trying to take advantage of that mine inspector/ camera lady? Sharon let the pelican fly away! LOL, Love you two! You also have a Bat Cave in there! You have been working so hard in there, may God bless and protect you. See you next week!
Sharon the Qeen of mines AND camera Lady (💖💖👍👍) Spectacular pix @ 14:00 & 14:20. Frank CONGRATULATIONS on 1000!!!! 😎😎. Be safe & can't wanit (again) until next week!!!!!
I don't know if you have heard of Abandon Mines - Rust and Dust on TH-cam. The girl had an accident at work and may be in a wheelchair from now on. They were looking for a mine they may be able to explore [ partially ] when she is able to. I thought of your mine immediately. I don't know if you or any viewers can help, I'm not even sure if doing this will help at all but It's the only thing I could think of. So help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. P.S. It looks like you guys have 1000 more loads to remove and I'll be there watching every one.
I look forward to your show each and every week. Thank for documenting all that you’ve done over the years. I’ve watched every episode at least once. Happy 1,000th! 🎉
Can't wait to find out, hurry up next week!!! We play the play lists all the time, You guys, Jeff, Tom and Julie, Can't have you guys on while we're sleeping though as the 'intro' wakes me up lol..
Nothing but hard, hard work. Congratulations on one thousand loads out! Frank backing out leaving the chainsaw to itself is a reminder of how dangerous this operation can be! As usual, you scared the crap out of me again! This is so interesting! Thanks Frank and Sharon!
You have a super mine inspector and boy was that a huge rock. It's super exciting to find out what you might uncover next. Nice filming Sharon, good to see those shots from above the tracks. Oh No off went the head of the pelican - great mission report completed. Go, go team EAM 1,000 loads your enthusiasm really comes through. Sharon, love the quote "Frankie Boy in the Yankee Boy doing the Franklin Shuffle" 👍🤩. Woohoo! Love being in suspense, can't wait!! Love and greatest respect to you both ❤👷🏻♂⛏👷🏻♀⛏ ❤.
TH-cam for my dog…what a great idea. I just make sure he isn’t watching abc during the day, I don’t want the view giving him any ideas. I don’t think I want him to take up mining either though. I spend money keeping something that resembles a lawn.
Hi Frank, hi Sharon. My family and I have enjoyed watching the making of the museum and opening of the yankee boy mine and all of your adventurous videos. Thank you. Stay safe.
Well Frank, it looks like you’re getting your exercise this winter. I can’t sit around and get fat but it’s a great video. Keep them come on Sharon you’re doing a wonderful job keeping Frank working keep him safe and have some fun. Stay warm.
@@exploringabandonedmines a few nights at -40 over christmas here. nice when we get those chinooks over the mountains warming everything up. i watch about your mining programs the most, since your from canada as well. neat what goes on in your country. maybe make a trip someday.
A very exciting video with your 1000 ore car load milestone - congrats!! The highlight was Sharon's remark - "oh Franklin, I lost the pelican head!" What a hoot! Thanks to both of you for taking us along for the journey every week - Love it!
I will be doing the playlist thing while I'm working in my garage. And I try to let the adds play out when I watch the video. I've seen every video you have made. I love this channel ❤️. I wish the videos were longer. Lol. Thanks for sharing. Please stay safe. God bless you both.
Hi Frank and Sharon. I'm gonna bring my wife and daughter to visit your beautiful place this summer. Can't wait to see the museum. You did an incredible job on the Yankee boy. I was just wondering if we bring my side by side if it was possible you would let us take a ride around that mountain for a little while?
Keep up the good work I'm hoping one day that we can meet I've been watching your show for very long time I live in Georgia these mines around here pretty flooded
Hello Frank and your better half ! Lol . Been waiting to see where you two are up too. Got to admit I would rather be shoveling dirt and smelling a mine rather than the stink I have too put up with in the rental property I live in lmao
@@exploringabandonedmines still be better than here lol. I seen the show last week where you had to thaw it out. No need for a freezer in winter there hey
@@exploringabandonedmines I'm only talking where that 200 ft chasm is , no wood will stop a fall from that height, like you said you could be trapped ,just a friendly suggestion I'm no miner. 😆 Well I was....
Always left wanting more and utterly looking forward to the next instalment your passion and hard work comes through every time hands down my favourite channel keep up the hard work frank and Sharon
Wow, congratulations on the big 1000!! Y'all have been working very hard, looking nice is coming along real good.. proud of y'all!! As always thank you for sharing and be safe..
The collapse could be some freeze-thaw cycle breaking rocks which are supporting the pile, OR just PUSHING them out. Then once the ice thaws, the water makes the microfine rocks into sludge, which, as you know, works as a lubricant, to accelerate the slip.
This time sharon gave really good outlooks in the shaft ! Great What do you think when you are ready to open? The rumbling sound of the far away selfrunning or car is amazing- and just sitting in front of my PC .... my Grandgrandpa was an overseer we call it Steiger here in mines near the border to France and Luxembourg. The holy Barbara was their patron saint-was it the same there by you?
In Canada you don't see saints or religious symbols in and around mines. In Mexico it is everywhere, They had alters and shrines near many mine entrances.
I just love this series the exploration and digging out the debris seeing things for first time. Only thing that would be better opening a new mine as would love seeing what it would be like to start a new adit into a new pre vein.
that's crazy, didn't think it would take over a 1000 loads to clear that blockage but it really shows just how much work went into those massive mines that you and others have documented.
It'll be interesting to see what you noticed in the first shaft. Good thing you've identified that danger. You might have done it already but having someone at the top of the shaft as the ore cart goes by to see what effect its having on the loose material might be an idea. I literally laughed out loud when the head fell off Sharon's pelican. 😂
Absolute best example of livin' the dream - ever! Just tuned in for the first time, and I am floored by what you have accomplished, this is great. Being a rockhound from CT, with similar interest in everything shown here, I thought I'd done and seen some cool things... Not even a fraction of this.
Very cool! I would be terrified of poking at those rocks, just waiting for everything to let go at once. Amazing how much work you guys have accomplished!
Who needs gym membership when you have a mine! Hopefully there's no huge amount of waste rock waiting to come down that shaft! I'm hoping to see it in person this year, with permission of course!
There are 4 grease nipples on the axles. We have only been able to grease 2 of them because the others and sheared off but all the wheels turn about the same.
I'm very impressed at Sharon's rope skills now , she goes up and down like a pro ! Ohh , that's right she is ! 😂 Also want to comment on that very nice , sweet grade that the track has , going out of the mine , seems perfect !!! 😎☠️
It's cool seeing people work in a mine compared to just exploring them 👍💚💛❤️ I'm glued to the channel again! I used to be subscribed on my other channel and it's taking a while to get to all the channels I've forgotten about. cheers 👌
What about installing a sound system and applying some heavy metal / thumping base (music) noise. That vibration may unsettle all the material that is almost ready to fall and encourage it to get a move on. Then you can clean up and move on in safety…….
I just found you. Great show! It's hard to get perspective on video. Having each other in the shots shows the angle and distance. What was being mined? Is there any still there?
Most of them are way up in the stopes a long ways away but the one we see all the time at the 250 moved somewhere else and then came back after it was out.
Danke fur das Hochladen sehr intresant
Thanks
Thank you so much for the donation. I hope you can come and visit the mine when it opens in person!
Exploring a working Mine!
Heck Yeah, 1000 loads! Good Job, Frank & Sharon
Well my night just got better always look forward to your video's
WOW! 1000 LOADS PLUS! CONGRATS!
Frank, are you trying to take advantage of that mine inspector/ camera lady?
Sharon let the pelican fly away! LOL, Love you two!
You also have a Bat Cave in there! You have been working so hard in there, may God bless and protect you. See you next week!
Yes lots of bats roosting in there!
The Pelican took flight! LMAO

We could strap her wheelchair to a flatcar and push her into the mine!
I look forward to your show each and every week. Thank for documenting all that you’ve done over the years. I’ve watched every episode at least once. Happy 1,000th! 🎉
Wow, thank you!

Nice to see so much progress!
Yes! Thank you!

Labor of love! Thanks for the content.

You should mount a motion trail cam at the top, that way it could catch anything moving but not always be on. Might even get to see a big slide LOL
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota

I wish I had a mine to play in.

I like going to sleep with background noise, I used your playlist suggestion...
Perfect!
need a better insulated opening for those cold spells.
slow the cold from seeping in.
i'm just over in alberta here, nw of edmonton.
Its a lot colder there. I used to live in Ft St John. -30 is about as cold as it ever gets here.
@@exploringabandonedmines
a few nights at -40 over christmas here.
nice when we get those chinooks over the mountains warming everything up.
i watch about your mining programs the most, since your from canada as well.
neat what goes on in your country.
maybe make a trip someday.
Ha! I do the play list thing every day for all my favorite channels. different one each day of course.
Congrats on yer 1000th 👍🏻
Sharon, you are so brave going up there on your own. I am amazed at at the progress. Do you guys ever sleep lol.
Sure when I am dreaming about the Yankee Boy!

That would be cool!
Hello Frank and your better half ! Lol . Been waiting to see where you two are up too. Got to admit I would rather be shoveling dirt and smelling a mine rather than the stink I have too put up with in the rental property I live in lmao
It smells a bit like a campfire now, not a bad smell.
@@exploringabandonedmines still be better than here lol. I seen the show last week where you had to thaw it out. No need for a freezer in winter there hey
I hate it when the head comes off my pelican 😂🙃. Great video ✌️
14:20 is one the coolest shots I think I've seen filmed in a mine.. well done.
Best episode yet! congratulations on 1000 loads. B)
Glad you think so!
👍 ⛏
Get some 1 inch steel plate and make a roof in that open stope area
We will stick with the wood.
@@exploringabandonedmines I'm only talking where that 200 ft chasm is , no wood will stop a fall from that height, like you said you could be trapped ,just a friendly suggestion I'm no miner. 😆
Well I was....
@@ExploringCabinsandMines Actually it can. It depends on the angle and spreading the force out over a wider area with wood or even waste rock.
@@exploringabandonedmines 👍🏻
👍
Amazing job so far!
Great shot from above of Frank pushing the cart 🙌, I like Sharon’s it’s not mostly mental it’s all mental, great episode guys
Congratulations on your 1000 cart milestone, it gets more suspenseful every week. Take care Frank and Sharon
Good on ya for giving it a crack Frank😂
Frank & Sharon, congratulations on reaching 1000 plus loads and i hope you see and get new items to add to the museum .
We found a lot of bottles in the Yankee Boy.
Great video. I'm sad it's over already.
Always left wanting more and utterly looking forward to the next instalment your passion and hard work comes through every time hands down my favourite channel keep up the hard work frank and Sharon
Working on it!
Hello Sharon. I loved your distant view from high above showing Frank pass by with the ore cart. Very cool shot. Hope you both are doing well.
My God, what a woman! Applause
Wow, congratulations on the big 1000!! Y'all have been working very hard, looking nice is coming along real good.. proud of y'all!! As always thank you for sharing and be safe..

Keen to see next week's adventure..update
Pete Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks 👍
You left us hanging at the end ahhhhhhh I can’t wait till next week! To find out.
ANOTHER 5 STAR VIDEO!
I just love this series the exploration and digging out the debris seeing things for first time. Only thing that would be better opening a new mine as would love seeing what it would be like to start a new adit into a new pre vein.
Bring me some dynamite!
Great work guys! Congrats on breaking 1k car loads! \(^_^)/
that's crazy, didn't think it would take over a 1000 loads to clear that blockage but it really shows just how much work went into those massive mines that you and others have documented.

There isn't too much loose material left in the shaft. We knocked most of it down.
Keep up with the great work I know that is got to be very hard doing but you guys are doing great be safe like like always Frank and Sharon ☺️
Congrats on 1000 loads!!! Can't wait to see what the back end has to show. Take care, both of you!
Thanks 👍
That is going to pay off nicely. You guys did a really good job of that
Absolute best example of livin' the dream - ever! Just tuned in for the first time, and I am floored by what you have accomplished, this is great. Being a rockhound from CT, with similar interest in everything shown here, I thought I'd done and seen some cool things... Not even a fraction of this.
I thought Frank would end on a cliffhanger. but then he dropped to the tracks and took off the rope
Wanna see you fly the Avata thru your mine! I dont think its ever been done before
Very cool! I would be terrified of poking at those rocks, just waiting for everything to let go at once. Amazing how much work you guys have accomplished!
Aaaaaaaaaaa DON'T do this to us Frank LOL
Watch your toes with that ore car.
Progress!
What a great Idea to hit the playlist button for my dogs to watch... they love your videos😸
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow! So how many shovels does 1000 loads wear out?
If the ore chute is well set up there isn't too much shoveling!
Who needs gym membership when you have a mine! Hopefully there's no huge amount of waste rock waiting to come down that shaft! I'm hoping to see it in person this year, with permission of course!
Hope fully we will get to the end of the muck in the #2 shaft soon!
1000 loads wow, and a few more too come, isn't a heavy duty ceiling doe b4 something big comes down and closes the tunnel?
The muck is coming out of shinkage stopes and ore passes. The rock looks really solid in most places.
How often do you service your or cart I saw you working on the track so I was curious
There are 4 grease nipples on the axles. We have only been able to grease 2 of them because the others and sheared off but all the wheels turn about the same.
I love your updates. Will you need to put some stuls in those opened up stopes ?
Maybe to get higher up. They aren't used for support much mostly as platforms to work from.
I'm very impressed at Sharon's rope skills now , she goes up and down like a pro ! Ohh , that's right she is ! 😂 Also want to comment on that very nice , sweet grade that the track has , going out of the mine , seems perfect !!! 😎☠️
Yes it is the perfect grade!

looks like hazardous work
You have to be on your toes!
Playing minecraft irl.
What about installing a sound system and applying some heavy metal / thumping base (music) noise. That vibration may unsettle all the material that is almost ready to fall and encourage it to get a move on. Then you can clean up and move on in safety…….
I can't remember if you said if you're goings to mine for Gold or is the Yankee Boy all a museum? would you have any core drilling done ?
All for historic purposes. We aren't going to mine it.
they own the mine but not the mineral rights if i remember correctly.
I just found you. Great show! It's hard to get perspective on video. Having each other in the shots shows the angle and distance. What was being mined? Is there any still there?
Thanks for the sub! Historically they mined for Gold and Silver.
I’m surprised there were any Bats in there after the fire.
Most of them are way up in the stopes a long ways away but the one we see all the time at the 250 moved somewhere else and then came back after it was out.
