The voice filter right off the rip. I love it.
I do the voice filters for you man. They're constantly uploading new audio filters too. They're getting more ridiculous and outrageous, I love it.
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories"Its like Tetris"
@@MikeOrkid straight from HELL ITSELF!
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories So good!
@@MikeOrkid this mine is like hell's playground.
I've always sort of enjoyed old mine videos, but it's your sense of humor that keeps bringing me back to watch your channel.
Keep up the good work, Coal King!
Hahahaha thank you so much. I appreciate it a lot, especially since my core base here is so friendly. You're all good people in my opinion and I churn out the content for you all! Again, thank you!
Anthracite was once Bituminous...
Interesting seeing the coal veins. Pretty thick! Doesn’t seem to be a lot of timbering in this mine. Is that common in mines back there? Cool video! 👍
This is actually a really thin vein of coal, but then again it is Bituminous which is a whole different beast. I think they didn't timber too much because it was classic room & pillar mining. Where they robbed out, they gobbed it up. The gobbing then became load bearing. I'm telling you man, this was LOW! I couldn't stand in 99% of it, bending over almost touching my toes just to walk the main Gangway too!
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories Yeah, that sounds pretty low. We never usually have that problem in the mines out here. Usually you can stand upright in them pretty much the whole time. There may be some stretches of the drifts where you have to stoop over a little bit to avoid hitting your head, but nothing major. Having to constantly crouch, stoop, and crawl is really tiring! And if you forget your kneepads, it’s hell!
@@AbandonedMines11 oh that does suck. That's good to hear about your mines. Most of the Anthracite ones are pretty big tbh. There's low vein mines in the Anthracite, but those gangways are usually large still.
Thank you for a great scouting exploration of that old bituminous coal mine!! I enjoyed seeing how the old timers mined that place out and how good of condition it was in!! All Hail to the Coal King!!
Thanks Clark! Yes, this one was old and nearly mint at the same time. 🤯 Yes, all hail me...your benevolent and sometimes rude Coal King!
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories Since this was a different type of coal being mined, did you ever explore a lignite mine??
@@ClarkWilliams-ws6nf I haven't, I didn't even know that was the thing LOL.
NICE! The Bituminous region starts about 10 miles from me. I sure rode around in a bunch of it over the years. I mentioned to you before that I have relatives that came from Bitumen, Pa. We would watch the guy run the drag line all day and when he was done we'd ride our motorcycles to the pit and just stare at that monsterous machine!
That's cool. Ya, a dragline is an intriguing thing to watch work. Are they still mining coal up that way??
@AnthraciteHorrorStories no. All of this area and points West of us has been reclaimed. Basically unrecognizable as to what it used to look like.
you were in the track entry, were they took coal and some roof, then they drove rooms off that entry to the right and left where they only took the coal seam, they had to take coal and roof to get the mules and coal cars in and out!!!!!
Hell ya. I don't see how a mule could have ever fit in this one though! 🫏
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories mules only used in the track entry!!!!!
@@leeturner1838 ya, but it was less than 4 feet high! Lol
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories in the track entry, they took coal and like 2 feet of the ceiling, they would not have taken that top rock for nothing!!!!!!!
Nice.................how far from the Wyoming Valley is your nearest Bituminous coal mine??
Thanks man. Several hours away. Over 100 miles. There are Semi-Anthracite mines too believe it or not! Those are about 45 mins to an hour outside of the Anthracite Region (Wyoming Valley).
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories Thanks Jude!
@@robertstevens9656 Thanks for the question and watching Robert. Have a good day buddy.
Sweet mine. Seems like a lot more to explore with this one. You plan on a revisit?
Thanks. It's a cool little mine for sure. You can never rule anything out in life! 🤫
The coal thats all discolored, is that still useable? You’d suspect someone born n raised in Ohio would know that, but…
If there's stuff on it ya, pretty superficial. I'm sure even the A.M.D. looking stuff, etc. would burn off in a fire. The outside portion of the coal vein will sometimes oxidize too, but again, that's just superficial.
Pretty schmexy for a Bi-tuminous
Believe it or not, aside from the ridiculously low height, it was solid. One of the safest entrances too. Lol.
