The entrance to the tunnel was the classic Roman arch, but the inside was the far more difficult and spectacular barrel vaulted ceiling, first becoming popular when they were building the great castles in Europe. It is a great example of using local, FREE, building supplies.
That was amazing guys wicked rock masonry and you know what I don’t even know if that sort of craftsmanship can be even done anymore or at least there aren’t many people with the skill to do it? Thanks for sharing your time once again and taking us along for the ride guys👌🏻
A couple of cool pictures in the beginning of how it was 👍 ! Most beautiful garbage dump 😃 ! Dam all that work on the tunnel with the rocks ! Awesome tunnel, the smiles on your faces enjoying this one !! Thanks guys, stay safe !
Here's a suggestion. Drop a 'pin' for your location where it pinched closed. When you're above ground, follow to the pinned location, and see what presents itself. It was a beautiful tunnel, I'd love to know more about it!

Very interesting. The stone arching, most of the mines in our area have that, I love it :). Should get you over here to Northern England, you'd love it :)
Phantastic the old Photos you've found about ! The sidetunnels nothing for Bud Spencer 😂... , the stoneworks crazy again all the time i watsh IT i do wear my flintstoneswear 😂 greased and bended my Hair within .... , nice Video 📽️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Fab explore boys its incredible to think how the miners sunk those shafts hundreds of feet! They were amazing men. That tunnel was one of the most stunning tunnels ive seen & thats including in the UK where we have thousands of beautiful tunnels. Brilliant find boys Stay safe! ❤❤👍
Phil I’m sure this has been suggested many times but I haven’t read it so I’m going to throw it out there. You need a small drone to send in some of those side tunnels/shafts and get an idea if it’s worth the risk of crawling through or not. And I read a comment in this chat about dropping a pin from your phone and see if you can pick it up above ground and then you can kinda map these tunnels out. Just a thought. Stay safe and stay out !! 👁️
Thanks. I do like the suggestions of using an rc car in that side tunnel. I'd be nervous about using an expensive drone in these places though. Occasionally I try to get a pin while underground ground, but almost never have service
Just don't get any cooler with all that roof spaghetti hanging down in the water tunnel. Always remember to carry a sharp blade with you in case that stuff ever decides to come alive. lol 😂
Now if one of you would've fitted into that tiny death crawl it might've been some trip to sketch paradise if there would've been anything at all on the otherside Great find as always
So I want to ask how you find these, but I honestly don’t think you’ll tell just to keep people safe (not mad at all about that) But I have to ask what do you do to make sure you don’t get turned around or lost underground? Love videos they are epic! I just watched one from year ago with big shaft and the engines still underground amazing!
Getting lost is very rare but has happened. It helps recording because I can play back the footage to see where I came from. But I sometimes use glowsticks too
The drainage tunnel looks like it was 'dry stone.' I did not see any mortar in the arched ceiling. They must have worked hard to make it. In that section at least, the ceiling looked very strong and after how many decades?
Thats crazy, the little tunnel off the main one, screw that, send a remote car inside and see how far it goes. Otherwise very neat video adventure just all the others. thx for the trip
Wow I love the exploration Vids but man you guys are taking chances that you don't need. These shafts are 100s of feet deep, You should be tied off for safety.
Pushing it as far ‘as you can’, isn’t that far, because, you guys are robust. Unlike, the adventuretwinsactivate, who climb into holes as big as my fist. You two, look at something that ‘looks off’. Even though it looks like it has been that way for 1 or 2 hundred years. And, today is the day. And, you are all ‘you go check it out’. The wonder twins, ‘dude, this looks sketchy’. But, ‘I’m sending it’! They wear size four shoes, carry 500’ of rope, but, will jump onto someone else’s rope and say, ‘this looks sketch but I’m going to do it, anyways’. They will rappel 300’ through a waterfall and, yet, if they hear ‘a noise’, OR, see blood, they are outside the entrance of the cave, two hours earlier than what it took to see the blood! I’m writing their speaking points: Dude. Dude. This is so cool. Right, dude. Right. Cool. This is soooo cool. Right. Look up there, it’s a hole that is the same size as my head, it should be good. I’m sending it. Whoa, that’s sketch. It’s so cool. These crystal formations, did you see this. This is cool. And, that’s a wrap. I’m confined to a f**king wheelchair, if I heard ‘something’, 2 miles underground, knowing something shouldn’t be there, I feel duty bound to see if another caving enthusiast isn’t wedged into something I have to investigate. If it’s a bear or bobcat, I’m not going to be afraid. Isn’t like they’re getting a normal diet and plenty of exercise. They probably prefer you put them out of their misery. Or, carry a handgun. ‘Dude’.

Incredible the people who built those tunnels…
Damn, Phil.. This place is outa' hand! Great find guys!

It’s not a Saturday night without Phil and the gang. Bloopers were epic today! Awesome as always guys!
Gimli would be proud of you two. Great video and really shows the extent to how tunnel engineering was done back in the day...
A couple of cool pictures in the beginning of how it was 👍 ! Most beautiful garbage dump 😃 ! Dam all that work on the tunnel with the rocks ! Awesome tunnel, the smiles on your faces enjoying this one !! Thanks guys, stay safe !
Tommy's got the best one liners lol. They just come so naturally to him
Neat explore! That military tire at 3:02 looked pretty decent...

I'd love to but service cut out pretty quickly inside the tunnel
Yeah satellites don't usually git signal underground
Incredible how strong and durable the arch is.
Nice find.
Very interesting. The stone arching, most of the mines in our area have that, I love it :). Should get you over here to Northern England, you'd love it :)
I'd love to swing by sometime!
@@AmazingPennsylvania Yeah their mines are pretty cool Phil check em out.
Very cool! Keep it up guys.

The pictures are from a colliery close by used as an example. But I really wish I could find some actual ones of this shaft!
Phil excelente 👌 vídeo!!!! Que lugares tan hermosamente aterradores!!
Love the temple of doom!! Awesome video Phil.
Love seeing the historical photos of how it used to look! Would love to see more of that ! Great finds, safe travels!
Great one as always!!! Love these videos. Pieces of American/PA history
awesome dude. almost like the catacombs, minus the bones. real craftsmanship there.
Best tunnel of all time🎉🎉

9:33 I’m ready Phil 🙋♂️
I like the rc car option better lol
Thank you for sharing this adventure. That tunnel was epic ❤❤❤
Best discovery yet. Amazing stonework, amazing.
The bloopers are gold
Cool place love the stone work
Your knowledge of these mines is amazing.
I can hang off the highest heights and it doesn't bother me. But crawling through tight spaces like this is a big no for me man.
Excellent video as always keep up the great work 👍👍👍 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 💪💪💪
Just don't get any cooler with all that roof spaghetti hanging down in the water tunnel. Always remember to carry a sharp blade with you in case that stuff ever decides to come alive. lol 😂
I got a razorblade in my pocket brother at all times ;)
@milemarker_oscar_mike Haha 😂😂 roof spaghetti !
You guys need a little RC rock crawler to drive down that tunnel!
I was screaming that at the TV watching Blind Frog Ranch the other day.
I am glad I found your channel. Awesome. So they built these tunnels for the bears to go back into their own bear world :D
amazing infrastructure of the past
Just 2 dudes finding scary holes 😂
Nature made 70's bead curtains! 😅 but naw man, that tunnel was epic to say the least! Imagine the time it took to build that.🤯
Now if one of you would've fitted into that tiny death crawl it might've been some trip to sketch paradise if there would've been anything at all on the otherside
Great find as always
I thought Kentucky was bad for mines. But it's nothing compared to Pennsylvania
Let’s Go!
That long tunnel at the end of the video seems to end near a shaft going by the amount of rubbish dumped there (car tyres etc).
Good point man!
You need a radio control car with a mini camera.
Agreed. The mystery of where it leads is bugging all of us!
Water and deep holes would be hazardous.
Beware of Tommyknockers
I'm harmless :)
HOLY CRAP !!! Stay safe, my 2 friends !!
You need to get a skinny spelunker to go down that side hole. I'd thums up for that!
In a bikini and knee pads😂
@@577buttfan HAHAHAHAHA
Very cool !
Lol, around 4:30 the both of you pondering about crawling - You already knew you were going in lol
Thank you.
So I want to ask how you find these, but I honestly don’t think you’ll tell just to keep people safe (not mad at all about that)
But I have to ask what do you do to make sure you don’t get turned around or lost underground?
Love videos they are epic! I just watched one from year ago with big shaft and the engines still underground amazing!
Getting lost is very rare but has happened. It helps recording because I can play back the footage to see where I came from. But I sometimes use glowsticks too
Thank you for some reference pictures of what was made what.
I'm sort of claustrophobic so this actually scares me just watching it.
A bear in the tunnel would be kinda emBEARacing
The drainage tunnel looks like it was 'dry stone.' I did not see any mortar in the arched ceiling. They must have worked hard to make it. In that section at least, the ceiling looked very strong and after how many decades?
I wonder how they built that stone walled tunnel, amazing craftsmanship
“Speechless”
Stuff of nightmares.
Those roots need a drink!!
Tommyknockers!!!
Looks so old wowww
The force and quantity of the water that carried those tires that deep was not insignificant!
Theres one like first one that you can hear water rushing i think part of jeddo tunnel in Lattiner
With all the talk of storm water and still no Daniel Plainview out take. I am sad about it.
Hey Phil, I’d love to get in contact with you about some opportunities for you to film some content in a mine close by me in Pa
Thats crazy, the little tunnel off the main one, screw that, send a remote car inside and see how far it goes. Otherwise very neat
video adventure just all the others. thx for the trip
That side tunnel has been bugging me for a while. I gotta know where it goes!
Do these tunnels ever have an end?
Yes and it's driving me nuts that I can't find where this one turns out
First❤🎉
Damn dude first on a apa vid is saying something lolol :)
Wow I love the exploration Vids but man you guys are taking chances that you don't need. These shafts are 100s of feet deep, You should be tied off for safety.
They filled it full of culm and waste rock to the bottom I hope lol felt pretty solid and hasn't changed in years
🙏😎
Why is their tires? lol
Water
I guess it flooded once and all that junk washed in
load coal!!!!!!!!
Made from the bottom up
U guys😂😂😂😂

Your right Phil , that stone work is a work of art
