To Laura , thanks for teaming up with Gly. He could not have found a better partner to help him and the two of you have been knocking it out of the park. Thanks again
Brattice cloth corp was founded in 1926, they produced flameproof cloth for coal mines. in 1935 they patented the double seamed ducting suspension system and lay-flat vent ducting for mining. they're still the primary supplier of mine venting to this day. those were likely containers for vent pipe rolls. varcon is a brand from the Gamble-Skogmo Inc. it was a conglomerate of retail stores based out of Minnesota started in 1920(defunct in 1984).
I Googled Hercules, and they are still in business manufacturing different powders. It was Wikipedia so I was trying to figure out if they are still under 'Hercules' or different brands because, well, some articles of Wikipedia are not that clear, but their primary business(es) now is (are) reloading gunpowder for firearms under different brands.
English coal mine owner's were using brattice cloth (particularly in Wales) long before coal seams in America started to be exploited Some brattice work predates the discovery of mining history of America
When I was growing up in the 50s my dad smoked a pipe and his favorite tobacco was Sir Walter Raleigh. He told us that at the plant where they packaged Sir Walter Raleigh they would sweep the floors at the end of the day and sell the tobacco from the floor to the Prince Albert Co. Seeing that can brought back memories.
Those Railway Express Agency labels are an amazing find! It just goes to show the deep connection between railroading and mining history back in the day (and even today). Before the wagons brought the goods up to the mine, it was a good chance those goods came off a train beforehand. What an amazing find!
No he left off that last mine he was crying in got shut down by the owner because of Gly. Now know other explorers can go see it. He was in a patent mine trespassing.
7:42 I think our first look at a decent cross section of a false floor. I get it. On top you have the perception of a solid floor, as solid as the walls. Nope. You're walking on thin planks covered in tons of debris. As a child, I froze 20' into the darkness of a spooky mine. That's why I watch from here.
Nice finds and a riveted ore cart! You two are working so well together. It's 10:30 at night here, rough day but damned if I'm going to bed without watching this.
When repelling down inside the shafts and you encounter loose boards and pipe that was thrown down inside wouldn’t it be best to move it out of the way for safety reasons? Love the videos Gly and Laura! 👍
Thanks for the great explore video with all the artifacts especially the intact ore cart. The picture of you two at the end in the cart was portrait perfect.
Hi Gly!!! First of all, thank you for not ranting. LOL!!! Secondly, how on earth did the miners get ore carts down in a mine like that? I'm just curious. Really interesting stuff guys!!! Thank you for yet another great episode. Be careful out there. 🎉! Love you guys!!!
Hey Gly is it possible if you haven’t already get some shots of you showing how to use your climbing gear. I haven’t seen anyone demonstrate how to use that equipment and how they work.
Awesome awesome mine , the tobacco cans , the brattice cloth cans , the labels , mine cart all of it is awesome too see. Glad you both made it safely in and out of the mine ! Looked online and checked out the tobacco can , the varcon can totally awesome . Be safe out there see you Wednesday!👍🏼🙂🫂
You blew me away! How about making and selling a picture of you n Laura in the ore car? Easy way to make money for the channel! What a great episode! Thanks guys.
"Brattice cloth is a fabric used to make partitions, or brattices, in underground mines to control airflow and provide ventilation. Brattices are built between columns in the mine, dividing a single shaft into two parts. Air can then be delivered down one side of the shaft and exhausted out the other, helping to control the flow of toxic and flammable gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen."
I have seen mining cars before outside of mines. There is a flower shop in my town that is named 'The Flower Mine' and has one parked outside on a piece of track for decoration. But, until watching this episode, it made me realize I had not seen one in its 'natural habitat'. We have seen Gly and other channels' explorers find miles of track, but the simple pairing of track AND an relic mining car that rolled answered a question about these mines I had never even asked, lol.
That's because they all get stolen and used as flower pots in your local flower shop, or in somebody's front yard. They only reason this one is still there is because it's at the bottom of a 250 foot shaft at the ass end of Nowhere, Nevada. And even so, somebody STILL stole the manufacturer's plate from the cart to take as a trophy.
GREAT video. Having watched your Channel for years now I can honestly say that you are really taking it to a much higher level AND you look like you are having a fun time doing it. Be sure to pace yourself!
Another great adventure Gly, some really cool stuff down there, especially seeing that date on the wall, Feb-26-58! Exactly 2 days before I was born! Really puts things in perspective for me. Nice to see Laura having as much fun exploring as you do, you're turning into a great pair of time travelers. Thanks so much for bringing us along with you!
Gly. You need to have a talk with Laura. Her unbridled enthusiasm is starting to put you to shame. Shes like a excited puppy when shes in a Mine shaft!😅
Someone has posted below about American Brattice Cloth Corp. The date on the box appeared to be 1957. What I was looking for and didn't see was any sign of the vent material. Perhaps the mice love it as it was jute based. The second level appeared to have a turning plate for the mine car. It is interesting to see if these are riveted or welded. I also was noticing that a number of the shaft timbers used a dovetail cut in them. Rather unusual. I believe that the piece of muck sheet so neatly placed covered the honey hole. While the builder plate was missing on the car, the shape and size would have helped identify the maker. A peak at the axle housings would be appreciated. The heavy cast bracket probably came from a line shaft or other piece of heavy machinery. Likely it wasn't actually used in the mine.
The upper levels of this mine were a bit of a Swiss Cheese affair, the stopes and passages where they followed the Ore were snaking all willy-nilly. That one stope that seemed to be separate from the rest of the mine, where airline went up into...too bad you didn't go up in there, I bet with an airline custom sent right up into there, would have had some extensive workings plus there had to be at least 3 ore passages fed from those workings up in there. Thanks for sharing this incline shaft, mine with us, really cool to see an actual functioning ore cart with wheels and functioning mechanism, minus the manufacturer's plaque. and Mr. Mouse was kind of put out that you bothered him and his very sturdy and solid metal home! I bet he was like "I had No Idea that that thing could move!!! How could something so big and solid move so easily!?!?!?"
There is a restaurant in Tulsa that has 2 10’ tall walls that are 5’-10’ across that has a massive beer can collection. The have another wall that has a door going in that has beer cans above the door. They have a bunch of old cans. They have some QT beer for Quick Trip filling stations (HQ of QT is in Tulsa). They haven’t made QT beer since the 70’s. I remember the commercials with a guy and his dog Lamar. I don’t know if the QT beer was with the dog but I remember the beer and the guy excited to get a slushy in a QT mug.
@@robertlyman9789 they have great drink fountains and the kitchens are pretty good for gas station food. Breakfast burrito is great. The rooster energy drinks are tasty. They also have good gasoline. The additives I mean. I work for a competitor O&G company and the additives are nearly identical. I just prefer to get food and drinks at QT. Has this been the 1980’s my company would fire you off they saw you at a competitor gas station. You used to have to have parking permits on your vehicle so that’s how the upper management knew you went somewhere else. The company I work for used to be HQ’d 45 North of Tulsa and by upper management I mean executives. The company I’m with broke off the downstream business (gas stations & refining) with the upstream (exploration & production). I work in the upstream portion so I don’t feel the need to be loyal to a petroleum refining or general gasoline sales any more. Plus the downstream only licenses off the gas stations now anyway whereas QT is still QT owned and managed. Phillips 66, Conoco, circle K, 76, etc are all licensed brand managed. I highly recommend QT.
Liked it. Well done. Ya, guess some new camera equip. is on the menu. None the less, you"re still "goin" and you got lights. How much do the built in knee padding help when having to crawl? I'd be saying "ouch" too. Does Laura have those type of trousers? The "thumbnail" would have even been more attracting if the last "bit" with your hands in the air was used; like "stop, stop". Glad that you two have fun within your element.
Followed you 4 a while Gly again hello from down under (Australia ) opal miner here . Have done 4WD abandoned mines here and in Tasmania but we don't have the history you are privileged to be able 2 walk up , read the comments as I do and 2 find some 1 that shares ones interests hello Laura, enough said.
Methane is one of the gases a multimeter looks for. And considering it's probably set to alarm at the lowest possible level it would make sense that farting in a mine set it off. The other one that gets them is breathing. But Gly usually hooks his to his belt for that very reason.
🇨🇦 Omg sorry Gly but that battery drain is one Major sign of spirits getting energy from batteries. Then at the 4 min mark there was an orb very small by your head. Had to watch 3x.
...👍🏾🙏👍🏾✨✨✨HEY GIY Y'ALL... GREAT VIDEO... Y'ALL CONTINUALLY STAY UP AND STAND GRATEFUL AND LOVES AND SAFETY AS I WILL SEE Y'ALL IN YOUR NEXT VIDEO SO OKAY LATER SIR...👍🏾✨✨✨👍🏾🙏👍🏾...
another great mine, thanks Gly and Laura
To Laura , thanks for teaming up with Gly.
He could not have found a better partner to help him and the two of you have been knocking it out of the park. Thanks again
Agreed
I definitely second that 😊
My pleasure 😊
Wow how much fun. I wish I was with you too. GOD bless you both.

Having Lora film as you lead and narrate is the best system you two do. Like it the most.
Loving the vids with Laura! Hi Gly!! Hope you are having a good Spring.. y’all stay safe! ❤
That shell oil can is super neat! Good find!
Amazing Video! I feel like I'm there with you. Thx! 🏜💛🎥
Fantastic video guys!!!!!!! Loved it!!!!!! Your channel is rocking!!!!!
Very well presented Laura. &. Cly Very good to see old mines , Cheers. .
I LOVE the thumbnail of you two in the cart! Another great one. Thanks
Would love to have an old minecart like that
I looked up American Brattice Cloth, Corp. They invented the flexible air ducting used in mines.
I Googled Hercules, and they are still in business manufacturing different powders. It was Wikipedia so I was trying to figure out if they are still under 'Hercules' or different brands because, well, some articles of Wikipedia are not that clear, but their primary business(es) now is (are) reloading gunpowder for firearms under different brands.
Brattice cloth is fireproof and waterproof so it makes sense to use use it as vent pipe and other things in the mine
English coal mine owner's were using brattice cloth (particularly in Wales) long before coal seams in America started to be exploited
Some brattice work predates the discovery of mining history of America
I looked it up too!! This company is still in business!!!
Imagine if that ore cart could speak and tell of its use and users. Great find.
That was a really cool mine. Finding an ore cart intact, on the tracks that rolls is awesome. I hope it stays there another 100 years untouched.
Well both of them touched it so...
Brattice. Those curtains used to control airflow in the mine.
Australia always watch , it keeps getting better , have copied and shared , Love this Episode. Well done guys
Thank you both of you your doing a fantastic job 👍👍

How nice,the thumbnail suggests you found a room after all,happy red faces------steamy mine shaft !!!!!
Really cool Mine!😍👍I love how you interact with the cute little critters when you run into them.. always good to watch out for the little guys!🥰
Thanks for another adventure, Gly and Laura.

You beat me to it! I was just about to post the very same thing 😄
No he left off that last mine he was crying in got shut down by the owner because of Gly. Now know other explorers can go see it. He was in a patent mine trespassing.
A great mine, love all the artefacts!

Thanks Glyn and Laura brilliant mine and artifacts. Poor mouse will be cussing you both,.... I just finished making that nest " 😆
We are so lucky to get such masterpiece videos every week! Thanks guys!
What a gem of a find! You can tell no one else has been down there and ruined the artifacts. I love that.
When repelling down inside the shafts and you encounter loose boards and pipe that was thrown down inside wouldn’t it be best to move it out of the way for safety reasons? Love the videos Gly and Laura! 👍
I was glad to see you able to stand upright most of the time! Some of your ben over videos make my back ache!

Awesome explore you two! Pretty awesome to see some of these lesser explored mines now that you’re doing more rope work. Take care.
That was a good one thanks
Great explore. Thanks for sharing.
If you have.
A troubles with your head lamps. Why don't you use a car bite light? To let people know what they were using back in the day
GREAT video. Having watched your Channel for years now I can honestly say that you are really taking it to a much higher level AND you look like you are having a fun time doing it. Be sure to pace yourself!
Good morning from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and being safe
Mornin’ Syracuse 🙋♂️ ☕️ ☀️
Hi my friend
Another great adventure!
Another great adventure Gly, some really cool stuff down there, especially seeing that date on the wall, Feb-26-58! Exactly 2 days before I was born! Really puts things in perspective for me. Nice to see Laura having as much fun exploring as you do, you're turning into a great pair of time travelers. Thanks so much for bringing us along with you!
16:08 Gly misses what appears to be a 4 way track junction plate standing against the wall.
@@shanesooth6267 I've been watching Gly a long time, couldn't ask for a better teacher.
Gly. You need to have a talk with Laura. Her unbridled enthusiasm is starting to put you to shame. Shes like a excited puppy when shes in a Mine shaft!😅
Was the date on the first box 1957?
I use headlamps in my business and have had great service out of the
brand Streamlite. Thanks for the great content.
I'm just an hour North of Warsaw.

Another great explore, exciting times indeed. As always stay safe . Love to you both xx
13:35 Lots of sparkles on the wall next to the chute.
20:10 that says Fruit Cake. I'm guessing that was a nickname for someone.
The ending made me laugh so hard!!!!
The Railway label looked to be 1957 if I read the handwritten chicken scratch correctly. Nice find

🌵🌵💀💀👍👍🌵🌵 You've come a long way since the beginning of time... I used to hit on you for more info... we're finely there.
