    This guy looks like the type of guy you'd want to help you on a difficult and large project because he's used to hardwork.

    I was curious how lead was mined in the old days and this video helped me learn. Thanks so much!

    Thanks very much for this very informative video on the old lead/zinc mines! If I am in the Platteville, WI area, I would love to visit the mine in town. Thanks again.

    It’s a looong drive but the Soudan iron mine is a fascinating tour.

    Glad you saved the poor toad. Poor guy.. Neat video! Definitely can’t be claustrophobic

    Watching all your videos, I live in Rochester. Been trying to find somebody with some decent knowledge in video form from around here and this is the best so far. Thank you! I’m a metal detector so this is all crucial info😂

      Awesome, thank you! I only throw in the mine / history videos occasionally, but I do have a few more planned. Plus we're digging our own tunnels at Sandland :-)

      We should visit more in that area! I hear there are a couple small-town museum mines that are much less OSHA-approved that this one :-D

    Were you on the trip to the lead mine under the golf course with the antenna tower? Still the only trip I've ever done with ropes.

    Camel crickets are the worst!! I had never seen them before and found one in my house a few years ago. I screamed when it jumped 🤣

    In your previous story, you accidentally identified the Badger Hut as another mine entrance, I am a guide at the Mathias Ham Huse, where this is located.

    That was cool theres alot of coal mines around my neck of the woods

    • @saveitforparts
      @saveitforparts  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Coal mines are a bit outside my comfort zone... less stable rock and worse / more explosive air. I looked for some coal mines in Southern MN but I'd think twice about actually going in one, even with gas sensors.
