Gly those are core battery cells used in high voltage batteries. If you opened a battery used in a lantern, a battery for a 1950’s portable tube-type radio, or a battery used to set off blasting cap’s you will find these cells, each one is 1.5 VDC these cells are stacked up to reach the desired voltage.
I can concur about the power cell. These were Bell System telephone and portable radio battery packs. Each “pancake” cell was 1.5 volts and they were stacked and wound with cord between hardboard end pieces, then dipped in wax to keep them sealed. Each cell after being stacked would form a battery which were in all the useful voltage values (3v, 6v, 9v, 12v on up to 22.5 volt batteries. These were in use up into the late 70s.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces I collect and restore portable Tube type radios that were made from 1938 to 1962. The Zenith Trans-Oceanic being the best know. Their 90VDC batteries used just this sort of internal cell to get to the needed 90 volts. These batteries were made up until about 1973. We recreate these battery packs today but we use AA batteries instead of these “pancake” cells, or just 10 9 volt batteries.
@@transmaster I wonder what is in them that the pack rats find so attractive? Are they zinc carbon cells, in which case, perhaps the zinc or ammonium chloride, or some other component tastes salty.
Though I'm going on 70 years old, waiting for next weekend's video, is like the anticipation and excitement I felt, as a youngster, impatiently waiting for next weekend's episode of, Sky King, My Friend Flicka and the Mickey Mouse Club. And, every show in beautiful, "Black and White "! Zowie!!!
Hi Gly. I just wanted to let you know what that device that you were curious about in the early part of the video that went acrossed the drift and allowed for material to be hauled underneath. You also notice the vent bag in close proximity. That is what is known as an overcast/ undercast. It is used in mines for a duel purpose. It not seen much in hard rock mines. But is more commonly used in coal mines. The purpose is to separate two different air streams and haulage ways. You can uses them in opposite ways also. You can run you utilities like air water sump and ventilation like a culvert under a road and haul material over the top like a bridge or you can do it over the top just the opposite. Haulage underneath and vent Utitiles etc over the top that way you can mine multiple ares at the same time. I suspect the side drift were for ventilation of those upper work areas and designed so that the dust in the bottom wasn’t recirculated to the stopes above. I noticed that small drift that you went back into was a ventilation control in your360 camera there was a ventilation borehole directly overhead that would have either worked as a down cast or up cast depending on which way the air was to be directed. Hope that helps Pat Gazewood Professional gold miner of 30 years underground
Part 1 was insanity gly 👀👀 the one nail stair climb took nuts if I may say so..good day to all my fellow watchers of gly's solid cam angles, for it truly gives us a better mine experience. Thx again gly for being one of a kind with how you handle your mine business!! ✌😊
Now this is the caliber of stuff I am use seeing from you glad you are getting back to this great quality of exploration that only you can provide be safe
I can't get enough of these adventures that you let me tag along every Saturday. Please be safe as I know you will. Can't wait to have the band back together in the future. Hopefully and maybe.
Gly, kept diet takes weight off quickly. I know cos I did it. Hauling around extra weight is so hard on you. Love your efforts. I am from Colorado and I knew nothing about mining until I got addicted to you. I love you!
Gly, I love your adventures. I often tune out of other mine explorations because they make me dizzy with their camera motion. You have it right. Smooth pans, and image stabilization. Thank you! Life is good if you let it be. That was an interesting mine. Looks like there's more to explore. Have fun, and be safe!
Ive always wished I had the tools and resources to do this kind of thing. You've got balls going into all these places on your own man. love the content, keep it up!
If one limes mine exploring, this is the channel to watch. I can feel your adrenaline just watching. As always I appreciate your knowledge about mining and geology. It's fascinating to see these working from many years ago. Timeless!
Gly , superbe exploration encore, j'adore tes vidéos, tu es un des seuls parmi tous ceux que je suis a avoir une qualité de vidéo aussi net et bien expliqué, toujours un grand plaisir a te suivre de France , autour de toi on voit l'aura de Mr M , continue a nous faire rêvé et surtout sécurité avant tout, au plaisir de te voir le week end prochain
Gly, I just watched part 1 and 2 and have to say your adventures just keep getting better Your video production is awesome and your commentary is always interesting.. Breakfast Sunday morning here in Australia is a good time. Always keen for more. Pete Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks Gly! For another great video! More more more! Also not at all burned out on that area. For me this video is one of the most interesting mines. To not go explore that other mine could be missing something special since other people may have avoided it due to the climb to get to it. I for one would love to see it!🙂
Oh that’s good to hear! Looking forward to it.🙂 Also if you ever wanted to do some Texas exploring of Atlas F ICBM middle silo’s I know the President of the Atlas F ICBM Historical Society. That is if he hasn’t passed on. Imho exploring anything underground and seeing things most people never see is something you do very well and maybe you would like to explore some old missile silos. Years ago probably 1978 my brother worked in the oil fields drilling for oil and their crew saw a concrete structure with a door. This was the entrance to an old atlas F icbm missile silo and they went in it like you go in mines. It was owned by no one at them at time but it and many others have been bought and turned in to homes. I found another silo entrance that’s on land where you can drive to the door and enter. But those two are in New Mexico and since then I found what’s called the ring of 12. The ring of 12 is situated around Abilene Texas Dyess AirForce Base. My brother found the New Mexico silo and in 2000 while in a photography class at Texas Tech University I somehow can’t remember how found the ring of 12. I then went and photographed 3 of those silos but no video. Anyway I just think your style of exploring mines would translate well into exploring some abandoned missile silos. More on this later if you have any interest, if not no worries🙂
Thank you for the double feature. The more, the merrier keep up the awesome adventures. It’s very interesting when you advance your exploring for us inquiring minds. It’s a learning experience for all when u go above and beyond the expectations. As for the one nail in the first video, it probably was a warning not to advance because of the dangers ahead. Of course it was a free double feature except for the store brought popcorn. Looking forward to the big mines you discribe at the end yet to explore. As always we know you won t let us down. Great job on editing out the boring parts and leaving us with fascination. For example when you were organizing yourself in the second video halfway through, coming out of your cubby hole like a pack rat. Oh the laughs , tickles, and giggles you leave us. Thanks so much
Hello Gly Thank you for taking me with you at this mine It is amazing what amound of work had been put in that place and how much ore was left behind. In this dry conditions the working in that stopes must be hell. The noise the dust very unhealty conditions. Thats all long gone but for me when you walk in this places it is right there in my Imagination Take care have nice weekend and a good New week Yours Frank Galetzka
Good morning Gly, as always another great episode x 2 I do so enjoy having you take me along as I always loved to exsplore unknown areas, this is by far the best mine exsploration channel and I love how you talk with us like we were there with you.
As I watch these I feel I am with you, which is your objective. Then I realize you are in a mine talking to yourself! This is why you don't have any paranormal experiences, They're afraid of you! LOL Thanks again for the adventure, I couldn't do it and glad you do.
Another amazing adventure. Scary stuff on those ladders though. My wife's father worked for many years in the Cornish Tin Mines. The Crofty mine mainly. One of the older mines (Dolcoath mine) has shafts 3500 feet deep. Sadly all mines are closed off now, but if you know where to look some of the oldest copper mines from the 1720's can still be accessed.
I really appreciate your high quality/high resolution videos considering that my first video was the 1964 NY world's fair on my Keystone 8mm camera. What sets them apart from others is your explanation of the actual purpose of the artifacts you find while exploring. I really want to fully understand the entire mining process and how they operated back in the day and you have helped my understanding greatly. I am also fascinated by the carpentry and wonder if you could shed some light on their contribution to mining....thanks so much and stay safe.....wayne
Gly this was great. The echo off that limestone sounded cool. Beautiful explore and stopetastic views. Blast off until next week, take care and practice deep breathing exercises through your nose and out your mouth while hiking these higher altitudes. Take it slow until you get acclimated to the higher elevations.
Gly -- Nice explore of the Lower Haulage and Stopes , Thank You ! @2:35 - that's very reminiscent of some of the Slusher Ramps I've seen . They may have dropped an Ore Pass down in the back of that drift and mucked it out with a Slusher , pulling it up the ramp to dump it's load into an Ore Car parked under the edge of the ramp . < Doc > .
That was somewhat the same as I was thinking. A way of getting the ore/rock out of there without filling the main drift. I was wondering if that might have been a later attempt by someone to work this mine.
“Gly”: Hi Doc! I’ll be going back to this mine again before the end of the summer because I completely missed something and didn’t notice it until I began editing the footage. Fast forward to 24:34 (in part 1) See that?! That’s rail with a boardwalk in between. Also, where I thought the ladder ended above my head also has rail and a boardwalk. Had I climbed just a little bit higher I would’ve seen a rail system with boardwalks running latterly traversing the stopes.
“Gly”: Yes, it was an ore pass from the upper stopes leading down to the ore chute I crawled underneath. When I was up in the stope you could see the top of it, it was the one with the ladder sticking out from it.
No need to set up the 2nd Unit Camera Crew, just mark the rock (chalk?) then toss it down. Write some interesting code on there and baffle the next set of explorers, heh heh.
at the 9:00 if you looked up you would see a hole, hence the reason for those weird contraptions at those adit entrances. never saw that before, ore passes!
you better take some vitamins you're out of breath there buddy.you're doing a great job this is a really nice.you're a pretty big guy to go in those little itty-bitty caves.good job
Thank you for the double feature Gly. You keep us entertained and it’s always very educational. So keep doing what you do best. P. S. Thank you for not editing the part of you crawling out of your cubby hole. It was entertaining to see of course just for shits and giggles . Or wiggles
At 10:45, ore shute over your head as you crawl back over? At 16:11, you have alot of gear wrapped around you for "narrow crawl throughs". As you got up into that stope, I was hopeing that you wouldn't step out on the loose material of that ore shute, just for a "better" shot. (we get nervous about the tight squeezes and niches you crawl into), and you were making me tired just watching you crawl up and down. (but I did spend 3 hrs. planting and toting and hauling yeaterday, so I feel the "lag" today.) Great number 2 part to this Tungston mine!!!!
When you were backing out of that boarded passageway at ~11:00min, there was a small hole in the ceiling. Any idea what that was and how it was created?
I guess it could be the camera angle, but some of those small areas where you squeezed into had me on the edge of my seat! Your episodes are the BEST! 👍👍
Gly, Interesting that blue square looks like a poker chip, my dad was a player & collector of different playing chips,(50's & 60's ) I think he called those crystal squares and were of higher denominations than rounds...
Great video Gly. When you came upon a wooden post with some kind of thin pipe/wire on it while exploring those ore passes I was like.."Oh no, another yellow rope" lol Look forward to next weeks video. Stay safe.
You allways show great videos and i allways admirer the work you put into your adventures . I wish i was closers so i could share in your enjoyment and experience , keep safe out there and keep enjoying the life
@Gly .... Very interesting video Mr G. That stope with all the ore passes in it was rather unusual I thought, I guess the miners had to climb up once in a while to keep things moving!??
I always used to explore old mines and caves in California as a kid. Good times 😂 these ones you explore always seem to have a lot of fascinating things. I always just used to admire the veins and the support work in awe.
2 in one weekend NICE 👍 your the best at what you do and your videos just keep getting better ty for the hard work gly oh and are those balls of steel heavy 😂 that latter in the first video noway lol
So they were mining barite veins in limestone. The barite had to contain other minerals that held the tungsten, namely one two categories. The first is wolframite [(Fe, Mn)WO4], which contains iron and manganese tungstates in all proportions between 20 and 80 percent of each. The second is scheelite (CaWO4), which fluoresces a bright bluish colour under ultraviolet light. Scheelite is fluorescent so you could find some cool mineral specimens.
Do you remember the Nome King in the movie Return to Oz? He’s the last villain in the movie. Hidden deep in underground caverns. These episodes remind me of the realm of the Nome king.
That spot where you crawled into/over an ore shoot to reach the area where the dynamite was spotted, did you notice the hole in the ceiling during editting? You did not seem to notice it while filming.
Hello it's me again. No, I'm not leaving a comment to talk about the blue or any of that. What I would like to know do you have a video that explains all of the gear that you taking the mine because your best is pretty loaded and if you have I'm sorry I haven't found it but if you haven't would that be something you would consider doing?
@2:56 I would guess either a cistern on the left ... or on the right was a slusher winch pulling rock up the ramp in the left crosscut. (EDIT: Oh, I see Doc thought the same.)
Talk about getting into the core of your work. Might need a skinny lil sidekick to get into them tight spots. Anyway, great adventure this week. Question i have is what do you carry in the ol dirty bucket.
Love your videos! You are the Billy goat of mine exploration. Do any of the mines you go to have gems or cast off ores or minerals to sift through? I would like to know more of the geology of the mines.
“Gly”: Oh yes, I find nice rock specimens all the time but you’ll have to go back and watch some of my earlier videos to see them. Some I’ve sold on eBay to collectors and fans of the show to help the channel financially.

It always amazes me the amount of material removed in these mines.Just when i think it cannot go on it does.Thanks for the fantastic videos.Gly
Last one for the day. Goes where one packrat can go. Gly you have so much fun.
Hello Gly
Thank you for taking me with you at this mine
It is amazing what amound of work had been put in that place and how much ore was left behind.
In this dry conditions the working in that stopes must be hell.
The noise the dust very unhealty conditions.
Thats all long gone but for me when you walk in this places it is right there in my Imagination
Take care have nice weekend and a good New week

“Gly”: Thanks Frank, have a good week!
Kenneth crips is right on the money high vortage batteries,if I remember they were "B" or high voltage for tube radios,ken must be my age,born in 45
Hang in there Gly.... It'll get to you, Your wind will come back. Good show. 😉😎
Thank’s Gly, another great explore. Keep safe.

Thanks Gly for another great exploration! Have a great week!
another great one .....
As I watch these I feel I am with you, which is your objective. Then I realize you are in a mine talking to yourself! This is why you don't have any paranormal experiences, They're afraid of you! LOL Thanks again for the adventure, I couldn't do it and glad you do.
“Gly”: If I did see a ghost I’d still have a conversation with it. Kind of like that scene in Ghostbusters with the librarian. Lol
Sometimes (most of the time) you scare the daylights out of me, the places you crawl into. Especially now that you're doing this by yourself.
A great adventure. I'm glad you saw that stick if dynamite. I hope someone else is as observant if they venture that way? Thanks for this!
Gly, great set of three videos! Love the new camera equipment and the awesome views.
Thanks for sharing Gly! love the channel. Stay safe and happy mine exploring. Cheers ☕☕🧔

Thank you Gly Coolness! Great videos!
Ooh two videos in one Saturday. That’s epic!
Awesome double feature! Keep climbing ladders and crawling through tight squeezes, you will be as skinning as Gilligan!
9:00 ... you missed a stope while crawling in and out of the left drift ... wonder where that went?
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Great video! We always look forward to watching your videos! Keep up the great work on your videos and your channel! 😊💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks . Love the 2 videos in one week. I know its a lot of work and I'm pretty sure we all appreciate what you do.
At 11:09 did you look up to see the hole above your head and where it went? Great video as always. Love your vids!
Came here to ask the same thing. Rare occasion he misses something like that.
“Gly”: Yes, it was an ore pass from the upper stopes leading down to the ore chute I crawled underneath. When I was up in the stope you could see the top of it, it was the one with the ladder sticking out from it.
I'm watching you sitting on my couch and I'm getting stuck!

at the 9:00 if you looked up you would see a hole, hence the reason for those weird contraptions at those adit entrances. never saw that before, ore passes!
10:50 mark on video you would also see it on way in 8:57 there's a cavity above your head as you go in (entrance to where dynamite was)
“Gly”: I should’ve pointed that out. That was one of the ore passes leading up to the stope I was in.
Thanks soo much for the double feature! I really enjoyed this👍
“Gly”: Thank you!
you better take some vitamins you're out of breath there buddy.you're doing a great job this is a really nice.you're a pretty big guy to go in those little itty-bitty caves.good job
“Gly”: I take my vitamins every day. The problem is this 50 year old wants to keep doing 20 year old activities. Lol
Thanks again Gly another nice one!!!!!!

When you were backing out of that boarded passageway at ~11:00min, there was a small hole in the ceiling. Any idea what that was and how it was created?
I guess it could be the camera angle, but some of those small areas where you squeezed into had me on the edge of my seat!
Your episodes are the BEST! 👍👍
“Gly”: Thanks!
Oh yeah Gly great job awesome video and explaining how they did what they did it.
Morning Gly! Very good video today! Love watching you explore mines! Have a blessed and safe day .
Double the Gly,happy guy!
I can hear your footsteps,2 forward back,hard climbing!
You're a trooper my friend.
I would never brave some of those spots where loose rock was collecting from old ore chutes, you've got bits of brass!
Gly, Interesting that blue square looks like a poker chip, my dad was a player & collector of different playing chips,(50's & 60's ) I think he called those crystal squares and were of higher denominations than rounds...
Great video Gly. When you came upon a wooden post with some kind of thin pipe/wire on it while exploring those ore passes I was like.."Oh no, another yellow rope" lol Look forward to next weeks video. Stay safe.
You allways show great videos and i allways admirer the work you put into your adventures . I wish i was closers so i could share in your enjoyment and experience , keep safe out there and keep enjoying the life
“Gly”: Thank you!
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Enjoy both them. Thank you
Good one Gly. Must say sitting here with my glass of Irish on ice I didn't get winded once don't know why your doing so much huffing and puffing :-)
Nice job
Black pucks certainly came from the insides of a battery.
“Gly”: That would be my best guess. They were probably stacked on top of each other forming a cell.
@Gly .... Very interesting video Mr G. That stope with all the ore passes in it was rather unusual I thought, I guess the miners had to climb up once in a while to keep things moving!??
I always used to explore old mines and caves in California as a kid. Good times 😂 these ones you explore always seem to have a lot of fascinating things. I always just used to admire the veins and the support work in awe.
2 in one weekend NICE 👍 your the best at what you do and your videos just keep getting better ty for the hard work gly oh and are those balls of steel heavy 😂 that latter in the first video noway lol
So they were mining barite veins in limestone. The barite had to contain other minerals that held the tungsten, namely one two categories. The first is wolframite [(Fe, Mn)WO4], which contains iron and manganese tungstates in all proportions between 20 and 80 percent of each. The second is scheelite (CaWO4), which fluoresces a bright bluish colour under ultraviolet light. Scheelite is fluorescent so you could find some cool mineral specimens.
“Gly”: It mustn’t be Scheelite because I used my UV light many times off camera and I wasn’t able to find anything glowing blue.
Do you favor Tennessee Ernie Ford and “16 tons” or Jimmy Dean and “Big John?”
“Gly”: I favor both but my favorite is probably 16 tons.
Glye plays full contact chutes and ladders.
What was that on the back of the mine at 24:57? Anything interesting?
Do you remember the Nome King in the movie Return to Oz? He’s the last villain in the movie. Hidden deep in underground caverns. These episodes remind me of the realm of the Nome king.
That spot where you crawled into/over an ore shoot to reach the area where the dynamite was spotted, did you notice the hole in the ceiling during editting? You did not seem to notice it while filming.
Have you ever had a code brown while caving? Happens to the best of us
“Gly”: Honestly. 🤔 Nope, never.
Vent bag hasn't changed much.
Hello it's me again. No, I'm not leaving a comment to talk about the blue or any of that. What I would like to know do you have a video that explains all of the gear that you taking the mine because your best is pretty loaded and if you have I'm sorry I haven't found it but if you haven't would that be something you would consider doing?
Nice gly
*Starbase - Where no Turtle has gone before*
Sorry, your title made me think of that :P
@2:56 I would guess either a cistern on the left ... or on the right was a slusher winch pulling rock up the ramp in the left crosscut. (EDIT: Oh, I see Doc thought the same.)
Hiya, noticed you were not wearing your .45 . Why not? Different state?
Talk about getting into the core of your work. Might need a skinny lil sidekick to get into them tight spots. Anyway, great adventure this week. Question i have is what do you carry in the ol dirty bucket.
“Gly”: My camera rig.
Where's that bridge rock at the end? Super cool!
“Gly”: I keep finding them in this part of Nevada. There pretty cool!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces More reasons why Nevada is _amazing_ .
Greets from Montana :)
What was that bridge thing with the metal plates?
“Gly”: I cut that section for time but my best guess was they were using it for storing water and what we were looking at was a makeshift bulkhead.
great work but more importantly what is the song you are using in the latest videos. :)
“Gly”: The music selections for this weeks videos are located in the description area of part 1.
Love your videos! You are the Billy goat of mine exploration. Do any of the mines you go to have gems or cast off ores or minerals to sift through? I would like to know more of the geology of the mines.
“Gly”: Oh yes, I find nice rock specimens all the time but you’ll have to go back and watch some of my earlier videos to see them. Some I’ve sold on eBay to collectors and fans of the show to help the channel financially.
