Use this same footage, reupload it on a different channel, title the video "Found footage of man who disappeared in mine" It would soon have 5 million views. Just say in the description that "a search party found the camera, but he was gone" or something like that.

Frank that was a nail biting, breath holding, edge of the seat episode. Perilous, treacherous, exciting, funny all rolled in to this explore. The scenery at the beginning is beautiful, the mine is amazing although not for the faint-hearted; the colours and rock formations are pretty cool. Thank you! Stay safe! I can’t wait for part two. 👍 ❤️😀
Holy crap!!! I'm surprised you fit in these mine with balls that big! Love your channel. P.S. Love hearing the odd F boom. Let us know that your real and not scripted. And crap I get scared for you some times. That false floor you crossed freaked me out.
5:075:08 is why I'm happy to sit around home and just WATCH! At least you can swim in water, Can't be said for air though, Hey Frank. I sure hope the Iron Balls you have don't rust mate. Safety first as always.
This places is getting sketchier the further you go (11:49) Gonna have to start calling you Bat-Man, with all the scary bat cave mines you can be found hiding out in.
Better to fall in a flooded winze than one that's not. Back when I was exploring mines they would usually send me into sketchy areas first because I was the smallest (5'6") and lightest (135 lbs). And if I didn't die (which I never did) they would follow.
A great video.Frank you can get a self inflating waist belt to wear.So if you fall into water you would not sink when your boots fill up with water.It can save your life. I took to shots of whisky when you crossed the winds.
Frank, when they made you they broke the mold! When you were walking on "false floor" submerged wood that could be rotted, right next to a winze the palms of my hands were actually sweating!! Wow, now that's adventure... Thanks for bringing great video to us mere mortals who would never be where you are, but are very excited to see it. I know you're experienced, trained in search and rescue, but please be careful and much luck to you too! Cheers!
Love it, Cant go down there any further it too crazy. 2 mins later you are down the sketchy path lol. Stay safe brother you dont need to impress us with stupid stuffs :)
Love the new intro Frank, and the colors, so jealous for the colors tou get to see and share with us all. I dont know who is crazier; you going in there or us watching you goong in there lol. Anyways great vid looking forward to the next show, be safe bro
Hey Fran, it's great seeing your video's again. Been out of commission for about 4 months, and I'm trying to get caught up on your stuff that I have missed. Love watching your stuff, I've gotta lot of friends tuned into your channel, keep up the awesome stuff.
and the Brass Ball's award goes too......Frank ......yep think we would of either brought a raft or scuba tanks but Slim hates water.... thats gotta be one f the wettest mine we have seen you in ...got some deep winzes there sonny Jim.... a lot of leaching going on .... to bad that mine isn't dry ....powder boxes everywhere..... love that flow atone.... good job see ya next week.
Great video Frank, a very dangerous mine to explore, but loved loved all different colours from the mineralisation. Lots of flowstone and iron oxides, you get some beautiful formations in wet mines. It's a good job you don't mind getting wet and dirty. Lol
My god Frank, this is some of the most interesting stuff I've seen on the internet in over 15 years. Keep this up and stay safe while doing it and I'm sure you have an audience for this amazing content!
If any topside observers ever witness a horde of ghosties pouring out of an old half-collapsed mine adit into the forest deep, there's a pretty solid chance it's because Frank's in there & has scared them all away. U do possess a hefty portion of calculated crazy, Frank. I was actually holding my breath for a minute, there.
Love the new intro and the crazy places you go. A sony action cam or another water proof one might be good to swith to for those moments you think you might end up swimming.
@@exploringabandonedmines yeah they good I had a sony action and go pro very similar quality but sony has or had when I got mine less mounting options but made a great hand held too go pro is wrong shape for hand but can mouth them anywhere!
Frank, YOUR A NUT! Lol! But I love it!! Now where did I put my anxiety medication?? Wow...that mine is LOADED with artifacts! Most mines I’ve explored since the 80’s don’t have near as much leftover equipment and artifacts. I’d be like a kid in a candy store in a place like that! I gotta get up there and pay you a visit ....maybe show ya how well I can dog paddle a winze. Lol. Take care!
That's some interesting formations. I really like it when u picked up the piece of quartz and the amount of pyrite it had in it. Too bad I couldn't sway you into sending me a chunk of quartz & pyrite.
Frank, you should take an inflatable rubber raft with you. Bring a bike pump and an inflatable raft that way you can cross submerged areas more easily and safely. Just a thought.
I wish you have some gopro with waterproof cage or something like that. Would love to see how it looks under the water. Also no one doing this so this might be something new to see. Good luck and you are a steel man
Hey there, Nice video so far. When you are exploring around, do you leave any visible markers to help you know which way you went? That seems like a really good idea. We wouldn't want you to lose your way... we'd never see the next part of the video, LOL!
That water scares me. When it’s deep. Just a bit doesn’t bother me. This mine looks old and sketchy. Lol You just found , “Falling Rock”. They’ve been looking for him for years.
whats the sketchiest mine youve been in? "this is pritty fucking sketchy!" LOL.. youre right Frank! you are getting crazier every year!.. great vid..yet again!..thanks Frank
@@exploringabandonedmines 20 years ago in Wawa, I ran into a problem with the beer store....closed at 5pm... do they still have that rule going on up there in God's country?
Yes! I've been looking forward to these new videos diggin this mine so far. how old would you say this one is? the carts shown are welded & w/bearings. but part 2 you had said they were pretty old. also really curious what the oldest mine you've explored thus far? & again, thanks for the vids!
That is a Speed repel Belay, If you basket your tie-off you repel with both tag ends and can release your tie-off remotely. I've ran down vertical slopes with those it is fun. Ausi-Repel FTW.
Frank I love your vids hope to see many more but sometimes the risk for video adventure is just to risky I totally get rush wanting go were no 1 been for long time show history amazing feats of engineering of the old time miners. You keep pushing ur limits or danger you will push it to far. It's kind law of averages you think it to sketchy just leave to nxt person or maybe if you dont you didn't for reason. You talk yourself into doing wat dont really want. Just take care loved it as always. 👍🇮🇪☘
What an awesome, sketchy-ass mine! Here's why airlines freeze: When you compress air it gets hot. As it flows through a cold pipe the moisture in the air condenses on the walls of the pipe and you end up with a bunch of water. When you release compressed air it gets cold and the water freezes.
Yeah, air gets hot when compressed, notice the cooling fins on air compressors. The flip side is compressed air gets cold when it expands. That wouldn't be a problem if air didn't contain water. Release compressed air and the water can freeze. When the air supply gets cut off by ice your air powered tool quits working. Hence, the antifreeze.
I have to imagine that the batteries you have to power your light is equivalent to air tanks for divers. Surely you are as good a done if either run out. Can you imagine how black it must be down there? You’d be helpless.
We are in Mexico filming some awesome mines. Just got done going down a 550 foot shaft!

Another great quote by Frank: "this is pretty fucking sketchy..." One of the many reasons I watch every video!
I had an exwife I said same thing about lol pretty f-ing sketchy
you know when frank says it looks sketch... its F'N Sketch... so when he says it F'N sketch.. .RUN.
This is amazing Frank. Submerged false floors Bloody Hell! Stay alive at least until I get to see your cool museum. Thanks Frank.
David Nicholson I will do my best!
You are the Best Mine Exploration Channel on You Tube! Your videos are EPIC!
Frank that was a nail biting, breath holding, edge of the seat episode. Perilous, treacherous, exciting, funny all rolled in to this explore. The scenery at the beginning is beautiful, the mine is amazing although not for the faint-hearted; the colours and rock formations are pretty cool. Thank you! Stay safe! I can’t wait for part two. 👍 ❤️😀
Barbara Robinson Thanks Barb .... yes it was an awesome mine. Fun to explore film and edit.
$2,000 for a camera, that's not pocket change. You're awesome Frank. Keep up the good work sir. Thank you for another awesome video
As soon as I heard the accent. I KNEW it was Canadian. Love the video.
This channel is totally underrated! Your explorations are truely brave and really entertaining!
Really enjoying these 3 parts in sequence Frank, take care always in these Black holes in our Earth 👍😊
"That's not crasy steep" Films down a 90° Drop.😨
If our hero Frank says it's "sketchy", that would mean about 99.5% of us would and should just get the hell out of there and abandon this mission .
Pissed in pants and all!! I'm a ballsy fella....but no where remotely close to Frank,no shame lol
Holy crap!!! I'm surprised you fit in these mine with balls that big! Love your channel.
P.S. Love hearing the odd F boom. Let us know that your real and not scripted. And crap I get scared for you some times. That false floor you crossed freaked me out.
had the hair on the back of my neck all up...…….
Totally addicted, love it from scenery at start to mine itself. Awsome thanks for sharing your adventures
I just wanna say thank you I probably would never see any of this if it wasn't for you and people like you so thank you
So cool
Daniel McArthur You are welcome thanks for watching!
I knew you had big balls Frank, but walking across a submerged false floor, hell yeah.
5:07 5:08 is why I'm happy to sit around home and just WATCH!
At least you can swim in water, Can't be said for air though, Hey Frank.
I sure hope the Iron Balls you have don't rust mate. Safety first as always.
This places is getting sketchier the further you go (11:49)
Gonna have to start calling you Bat-Man, with all the scary bat cave mines you can be found hiding out in.
Okay I'm familiar with the edge of my seat now Frank.
And this is only PART ONE!
My pants are going to be needing a change soon with PART TWO, I think
Open Minded Air Head not to worry, Frank has big brass balls.
@@MrMitchB - Nar Brass is far softer than what Franks got.
I know; They must be galvanized...Good thing it's not salt water
Don't mind me Frank,just binge watching your Vids.
awesome... best mine exploring channel by far, best wishes from south tyrol, Italy
That mine is definitely outta my league very fine exploration and video frank thanks for showing us

this is exactly the kind of thing a dead guy would post
@@Spikeelsucko You're right. He's not fooling me at all.

Extreme Adventure!
WOW!
I almost fell off my chair you had me sitting so close to the edge.
I really enjoy seeing these. Thanks Frank.
Looks so awesome down there Frank . Cant wait for part two . Take care and have a great weekend !!

Frank let me tell you, you've got some pretty big ones buddy! So many ways to get in really deep shit fast. Hats off to you.

You deserve far more subscribers.
Subbed, can't wait to keep up and catch up w/ your posted videos!
We got a thousand yesterday!
@@exploringabandonedmines Congrats! :) You totally deserve it and more! Here's to 100,000 on the horizon!
Fun adventure as usual Frank thanks✌
Great show again go Frank from good old NZ love the history you guys have 😎
My god Frank, this is some of the most interesting stuff I've seen on the internet in over 15 years. Keep this up and stay safe while doing it and I'm sure you have an audience for this amazing content!
Frank what sort work did you do before this you so fit and you show no fear when in so deep and less water i would though flooded that far in.
Ranching, trucking and ran heavy equipment.
@@exploringabandonedmines Frank you are one cool guy with a big heart to show the real under world of abandoned mines ..
Wow another great 5 star video .... Thanks and stay safe !

Thanks for sharing part one of this adventure. Take care and be safe.
The things you do for us Frank! Its a shame this mine was so full of water
think you deserve a medal as big as a dustbin lid for all your efforts
HOPE The weather is nice.Cold on the east coast.Can not wait to see videos.
Great video.
That's some interesting formations. I really like it when u picked up the piece of quartz and the amount of pyrite it had in it. Too bad I couldn't sway you into sending me a chunk of quartz & pyrite.
that into is awesome and that goes for all the previous ones too.
Frank, you should take an inflatable rubber raft with you. Bring a bike pump and an inflatable raft that way you can cross submerged areas more easily and safely. Just a thought.
Great vid Frank can't wait till next week
Great Video! Looking forward to part two! your F bomb made me laugh, caught me off guard lol
Great video Frank! Have you ever considered doing some highlight episodes? For example “Top 5 Deepest Shafts” or “Deepest Winzes” etc.
I wish you have some gopro with waterproof cage or something like that. Would love to see how it looks under the water. Also no one doing this so this might be something new to see. Good luck and you are a steel man
That new intro has me rock hard yet again! Good stuff Frank
Great video. Hard to tell up from down in big flooded part
21:51 Strange sound in the background moment after you talked about the danger of objects falling on you. heh ^^
Very cool looking forward to part 2.
"That'd be crazy wouldn't it? I'm getting crazier every year!"
Yes. Yes you are Frank but that's why you're the best.
OMG you are totally crazy crossing that false floor
This is the 1st video of yours Frank that made me nervous for you. Man, walking across that flooded windze made my butt pucker.
Another good one man. Be safe out there as always.
GREAT JOB (FRANKLY MINE EXPLORATIONS) 👍...GOTTA LUV OUR BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLUMBIA!!!
Hey there, Nice video so far. When you are exploring around, do you leave any visible markers to help you know which way you went? That seems like a really good idea. We wouldn't want you to lose your way... we'd never see the next part of the video, LOL!
We left a few markers along the way.
Great video, I do worry about you sometimes!
Maybe be crazy but so cool you try love it
Wow, great video, thanks Frank :o) I bet those flooded false floors mean you are the first in there since it closed :o)
Awesome video!
Kaslo: trying to remember back was it ‘joe’ or ‘Big Joe’ who looked after some old mine entrances. Visited up there in the early 90s in the area
Another amazing video
That water scares me. When it’s deep. Just a bit doesn’t bother me. This mine looks old and sketchy. Lol You just found , “Falling Rock”. They’ve been looking for him for years.
whats the sketchiest mine youve been in? "this is pritty fucking sketchy!" LOL.. youre right Frank! you are getting crazier every year!.. great vid..yet again!..thanks Frank
WacKEDmaN This one is probably it!
Great video
I like the new intro!
It really is nice!
love it, but really miss the bombastic soundtrack though :D
you are crazy. Love your videos.
Frank, I am putting it on my bucket list to go to Canada and meet you in a mine...how many beers should I bring? 50?
Thomas Humphries depends how long you are staying.
@@exploringabandonedmines 20 years ago in Wawa, I ran into a problem with the beer store....closed at 5pm... do they still have that rule going on up there in God's country?
i always wonder about the men who dug these mines, like what happened to them and do they still have family in the area etc
Rubus Roo I was thinking the same thing. Also I can't imagine dragging all those timbers down there, that's just crazy physical work.
Back in those days....men were men...and children only spoke when spoken to.😁😁
Hello from Terrace! just subbed awesome channel
Hi lucky you close to Anyox!
Yes! I've been looking forward to these new videos diggin this mine so far.
how old would you say this one is? the carts shown are welded & w/bearings. but part 2 you had said they were pretty old. also really curious what the oldest mine you've explored thus far?
& again, thanks for the vids!
Would be cool if you could dive in some places but that’s a new level of crazy
That is a Speed repel Belay, If you basket your tie-off you repel with both tag ends and can release your tie-off remotely. I've ran down vertical slopes with those it is fun. Ausi-Repel FTW.
Damn frank. That is crazy crazy shit.
You showed us a lot of tunnels. And everywhere we can see ore chutes, closed tunnels etc - so I have a feeling you was able to film 10% or less...
I couldn’t explore all the stopes but I think we have seen at least 50%
Frank I love your vids hope to see many more but sometimes the risk for video adventure is just to risky I totally get rush wanting go were no 1 been for long time show history amazing feats of engineering of the old time miners. You keep pushing ur limits or danger you will push it to far. It's kind law of averages you think it to sketchy just leave to nxt person or maybe if you dont you didn't for reason. You talk yourself into doing wat dont really want. Just take care loved it as always. 👍🇮🇪☘
Yes said similar myself. You worded it better though!
You need a camera housing, the ones used by scuba divers. And to keep kegs at the house, fill with salt water or 2% Borax mix.
Crazy how flooded this mine is creepy deep. Be safe
Ditto, Ditto and Ditto to all posters below, DAMN Frank, ur killin it man...
Awesome as usual
This is honestly so pretty
ya got me fiening for some cave adventures! need a newbie cave lmao
I know for myself how hard it is to make such expeditions. Is there ventilation? some gas?
Belov Blog no gas it is the unstable rock that is the real hazard in this mine. IT gets worse in part 3!
You werent kidding! Beauty
Love the new intro and epic beard is epic :)
17:25 turn it up i hear a weird scary sound man shit like a ogre yawning

I understand about exploring and the excitement of it all, but I'm starting to see some risk taking that has me concerned. Anyway, be safe.

Balls of steel!!!! The false floor made my ass pucker up frank you are nuckin futs!!!!!
Since it is flooded .......not so bad if you fall you probably just end up going for a swim!
