Your find that a lot of the iron mines absorb a lot of your lighting. We have a couple small ones and even the best of torches provides much light. Hope all is well across the pond 👍🏼
@cornishxplora yeah I agree. One particular mine in Wisconsin was dug by native Americans several hundred years ago. Loving your videos. Definitely subbed.
That’s incredible. It looks like a set from a Disney film. How beautiful nature is. You are braver than me going in there! I hate small spaces and that was pretty tight in places,
Wow, great video, what a spot! Is this fairly accessible or are ropes required? I’m just starting climbing in hopes of visiting places like this in Cornwall, this is definitely top of the list. If you ever need an apprentice for the day, especially here, let me know! :) I’m a professional photographer/videographer so could always help with the filming in exchange
This mine is very well protected and on private land, there’s no access with out the correct permission. There’s plenty to see around cornwall, if you want more info message me via Insta Same name
Isn't it amazing how you can walk 150 ft (the width of an American football field) outside and it's literally nothing, but go crawling down a really old mine on rickety ladders and it seems like miles!
Great video. To clarify, were most of the spaces you were moving through manmade/excavated or were some of these areas natural spaces/voids underground?
Hi, no I don’t have one. But I know others that I know use them. Most of the mines have been monitored by other explorers. Here in Cornwall we are exposed to high radiation in some mines due to high granite content. Thanks for your comment 👍🏼😊
Sure, but it might pay to get one. And it could be interesting also. There are metalliferous mines in SW , south terras st Austell,. Which have had reading of 7m bq/m-3. A uranium adit tho. This is a CT scan dose for a hour. I've probably had more ionising rad than you tho because of CT scans. I have a reader at home and it's accurate because it knows when it is windy,as the numbers go down. Any way good luck. You have a great hobby. And It would be interesting to do what you do. But the majority don't.
@@adamkevern8764 I will look at investing in one. South Terras is one of the worst. I know people that have been down there and their clothes have been reading high even driving home and had to be thrown away. If keen for explores with people so if your ever about
Are you inviting me down S Terres in search for the uranium adit. So I can get the equivalent rad as a CT scan for 1 hour exposure, I might pass on that one mate. But if you mentioned the elephant foot at chenoble I could be interested
Well you need to read up on south Terres st Austell, uranium adits . there's plenty on the net. You might have to decontaminate your phone after the reading tho.
Wow.... Where you were stood asking if the shaft filled with water..... If you was stood there the other day the water would have been over your head 😂😂😂
@@cornishxplora any old story's or links to history of use. I know copper is believed to have healing qualitys. I wonder if the oxidation is a good thing for humans to be around 🤓🤔
@Wolfman thx 4 your answer! sometimes i am in mines her in europe, i saw parts of azurite malachite comming from copper but this is live growing in this mine, unbelivable and beauty!
I've been in old iron and lead mines here in Iowa/Minnesota but never seen an old copper mine. Stunning.

@@MrMegamike2k amazing what they did achieve back in the day.
Thank you 👍🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻
It's the most stunning mine I've ever seen--the colors are just superb! Makes you think Merlin walked these tunnels...
Taken 100s of years to form, so it’s a relatively new thing to see. Thanks for your comment 😃

Thanks mate. 😃
I'm expecting you to run into the Soup Dragon or the Iron Chicken at any minute
Mint place mate very blue 👌🏻
Amazing place.!
That really is something.. beautiful..
Great vid 👍
Must be thousands of tons of copper still under Cornwall waiting to be found
Tens of Thousands of tons.
There’s copper mines out there we still can’t access the full depths off due to flooding

Hi,
Couldn’t hear on the video, how far down did you go from the surface? Thanks for sharing, the mine is amazing ❤️
Roughly 150ft from surface

nice
Awesome mine,beautiful colours,what mineral is it copper?
Oxidised copper sulphate
Do you know what the Copper mineralisation is? Looks like a copper calcite of somekind.
Tresaven, copper mine! 😀
Nope close though
@@cornishxplora oh ok, I know! 😀
Great video. To clarify, were most of the spaces you were moving through manmade/excavated or were some of these areas natural spaces/voids underground?
All done by hand, man and boy.
Have you ever worn a giger counter when you go down the mines out of interest. Okay thanks

imagine this on 'shrooms and acid
Wow.... Where you were stood asking if the shaft filled with water..... If you was stood there the other day the water would have been over your head 😂😂😂
Yeh she gets really wet in the winter 🤣
Made of blue crystal?
It’s oxidised copper deposits which create blue mineral formations on the walls and roof.

Thought this was the new Avatar movie.
Haha I wish it was as popular 😁
Wait, this isn’t a free showing of Avatar on TH-cam? Shit. Fml.…
what ist this, a kind of azurit or blue cacite?
Chrysocolla
Oxidised copper deposits.

@@katken100 never thought about it in that way. A healing tunnel perhaps
