      Yes, when this is done, I would definitely watch it all at once as it should make more sense that way. Essentially, we are seeking to get as deep as possible in this mine and every video in this series is us figuring out ways to get ever deeper...

    Hello Justin! Good to have you back and in action. I actually do recognise that tobacco brand you found in this mine and it is definitely one of the older brands, like later 19th century older. Very cool find! The bottle you all found was cool too, even though it was broken. That was an ale bottle. Ale came in that very distinctive shaped bottle and it dates to about the 1870's through to about 1885, so it fits in nicely with the time period of that mine. Great to see you back in the mines and discovering more artefacts as well as beautiful geology. As always, thank you for sharing with us all!

    What a surprising mine. It amazes me that even that early in rhe eighteen hundreds they did not find it worth their effort to recover the rails they had laid after a mine or a section thereof were exhausted or decommissioned. Also I often wonder how they knew in what direction it was worth their time and effort to create such long, perfectly straignt stretches throughout the rock, and how that actually worked, navigating underground / through the rock!

      I didn't see any evidence of that. The water would have just drained down deeper into the mine anyway given all of the connections to lower levels. I believe that it was just the natural water table and water percolating down into the mine. Sometimes we just hit wetter areas of mines - even out in the desert - where it is more dry above and below.

      Thank you. The levels above (shown in the last video in this series) had some phenomenal artifacts that were well-preserved and the levels below this (that will be shown in upcoming videos) have some amazing stuff as well. This level seems like it was last worked in the 1800s and was just used as an access to other parts of the mine. That age, combined with the high levels of humidity, didn't do any favors for artifacts. It gets drier again as we get deeper... The logistics of accessing deeper levels are getting tricky (we can only carry so much rope and it now takes many hours to simply reach the sections where we stopped last time).

    Hey guys: I notice that you never look inside those tobacco tins. You might want to start doing that, as many an underground miner would carry one of those tins with him, but instead of tobacco, they often carried their ID, claim papers, the occasional photo, and even cash in them. In a sense, they were carrying metal wallets long before they started becoming popular in the 2010's. Anyhow, it's just a recommendation from an old historian who loves old mines, old mine lore and your amazing channel.

    Have you guys ever considered what you would do in the event of a cave-in. I haven't seen anyone carrying a pick or shovel of any other kind of tool that you could use to dig yourselves out. I realize you have been exploring mines a long time, but it would seem there is always the possibility of the roof of the mine coming down.

      Yes, in a place like this, we would die if something caved behind us because no one would be coming to rescue us. It is one of the risks one must accept if one is going to do this.

    "NG" = no good? Miners marking the directions that didn't require further effort.

      It's in an area with a lot of mining activity still. So, I wouldn't be surprised to see it get open pitted someday. That would be a shame, but certainly not the first time that that has happened.
      Did you see the latest video I posted on the gold mine project? I did that just for you because you were asking about it! Seriously.

      @@TVRExploringThe last video I could find was part 20 when I posted this.
      That was the time you put in the first half-shot into the new drift you were staging.
      It seems some times that I am moving faster here with my hand drill and track loader [I have no blasting gear].
      I am not morally opposed to pen pit mining, although with the rules and regulations added to a mine, it would have to be massively more profitable before I would go open pit out where you people are.
      Where I am, there are very few regulations, and I literally have iron ore laying around on the ground [quite weathered and depleted, but there, nonetheless] and the topmost vein [or 'slab' as I like to call it] is literally from poking out of the surface to about 24" below ground on most of my property, so once I am ready to really rip, it is going to be, in effect an open pit mine, only, since this is my personal farm, I will be 100% back-filling behind my excavation so that I can raise crops on the same land.
      Interesting benefit to my iron deposit so close to the top is that the massive amount of free iron in the soil makes things grow like crazy.
      While my land is not a miner's paradise by any means [its not really 'economically feasible' by the standards of most mining companies, although I have secret ways of making it pay], its a gardener's paradise in that its super nutrient rich in zinc, phosphorous, sulfur, potassium, iron, manganese and magnesium.
      In essence, I can sell my soil as fertilizer.
      That may end up one of the products I sell, but by no means am I going into the fertilizer business, I plan on making money from the iron as a metal product.
      I am recording a lot of video, but 1, lack of editing software, 2, being way back in podunkville with dial up connection speeds, and 3, having to actually work every day, I have not released much in the way of videos.
      I released one yesterday that shows where I have dug a notch out of the cliff side to install a gate, and briefly mentions ore a little bit [I think?] but really, at this point, I'm not actually mining, nor even qualifying as a content creator.
      So I mainly live vicariously through other mining youtubers.

      It depends on the mine... In this mine, half of us would start digging at the collapse and the other half would start looking for another way out.

      @T Mousse No worries at all. The TH-cam algorithm is very fickle in what it might deign to show viewers such as yourself. I was merely saying that I'm on a mine exploring trip now and, as a result, no video this week.

      Yes, that's what we concluded as well since all of the NGs seemed to dead end or hit backfill.
