I’ve only recently discovered your content. You seem to be really knowledgable on the subject of mines and I was wondering how you became so? I’m from Porthmadog and spent a lot of time exploring old quarries and mines when I was younger. They’re as much a part of our mythology as they are our history and have a really haunted feeling to them. Must get out and back in the mines
Thanks, I've always been into caves but when I found the mines that was it, the human footprint and all the old workings... there is just nothing else like it 😊
Very interesting. Do you know the Mines near Bwlchgwyn in Wrexham? I have visited the waterfalls before but last week, a friend took me to a waterfall within a cave.. it was really stunning.
Hi Milda, My Dad who is now in his 80’s would like to know if you know anything about the Millwaters Lead Mine between Abergele and Old Colwyn that he visited as a teenager when at school in the area. He has a location marked on a map and a sketch of the workings layout that he made at the time. He would like to get in touch with you about this if at all possible? Many thanks, Lucy
Hey Lucy, very interesting- I haven't explored that particular area and not seen any records of a mine with that name - there are mines in the Welsh equivalent (Melin Dwr) in Mid Wales, but not in this area in the North. Perhaps related to the Mill Race stream there. If you'd like to drop me a line on milfield@gmail.com that would be great, thanks 😊
Hi Milda, that’s great thank you. I will pass your email on to my Dad and he can forward more information about what he knows and the little hand drawn maps. My Dad introduced me to your videos and I have enjoyed watching them, looks like great fun but knowing my luck I’d end up going through a false floor, yikes! Stay safe and thank you once again ❤️
Hi Milda, just to let you know my Dad dropped you an email on Sunday 7th August with some mine information, just checking it didn’t fall into your email junk folder and arrived safely? 😊
@@LunarJewell oh thanks- because I can't share my other private email on here, it's always a bit like that sorry, but I've just checked and there is it 😊
Thank you young lady !
Beautiful countryside you have there!
Thanks, wilderness is the best! 😊
Good effort Milda!
Look up Clayton Adit, part of the Ecton Hill mines in Staffordshire, that entrance is right next to the road.
Thanks, who doesn't like a drive by mine 😄👌
Heya Milda, excellent short one, and yeah I wouldn’t have waded through that horrible mud either 😊see you soon , all the best from Somerset 👌🏻x
I will come back some time and do it 🤭
@@MildaGoesWild Give me a shout and I’ll get my waders and join you 😖x
@@simonjohnson1585 waders will be the way to go with this one. Probably a dead end but who knows

I've not done Wrexham, no. Sounds cool
@@MildaGoesWild its quite a forceful waterfall and a real treat to see it. There are Roman lead mines there apparently.

@@LunarJewell that's lovely. I'm sure you'd be fine but better safe than sorry..!

Looks very like Cwm Prysor?
Not a bad guess!
@@MildaGoesWildif it is, I’ve driven past that first trial level hundreds of times and often wondered whether it was a proper mine!
@@dorsetdumpling5387 I think most are trials around there but I'll check it out better next time.
@@MildaGoesWild The Prince Edward gold mine is only about 3Km West of there, have you ever been down that one?
@@dorsetdumpling5387 very well aware of that one but haven't explored it yet as such
