- Our very first video...they get much better!
Providence mines are a group of smaller mines and one large mine to the East of Greenwood just a short walk from town. Lighting is a little poor underground but we have new lights ordered and will be shooting some new mines soon.
My first video......they get better! The first thing I found was an old skip used on an inclined rail. The second thing was a steam boiler.
Is this from Providence, RI?
So glad your camera skills have improved.
I'm gonna start from #1 and watch them all, even though I've seen most all of your vids lookin forward to the new vids as they come, thanks............................................
Great I hope you enjoy them…...the newer ones are better I think!
........@@exploringabandonedmines........Like night and day................... cameras and lighting are superb... outside the mine, and inside the mine! As a (mostly) hard rock Well driller in the Sierra foot hills near the Feather River Canyon for 48 years, I love to see what I've drilled thru and what I haven't had the opportunity to drill thru, thanks!
Having all of these on a playlist is very apreictaed. Even your first ones are very relaxing and educational.
Glad you think so!
great start to an awesome deep cave explorer video series. wish i was family so i could visit
Maybe one day!
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
Just watched your first video. Looking forward to watching the rest. Thanks for sharing!
Welcome aboard!
Your intro in the newer videos lured me to your older videos.
Awesome if you start at the oldest video in that playlist #1 TH-cam will play them in order one after the other all the way to the newest one.
@@exploringabandonedmines Some of the videos are not in the season one playlist like I believe part 2 and 3 of Anyox. Just thought I would let you know.
Hey there, I was watching your videos from newest to oldest, got half-way through and decided to jump to video 1 and start moving forward from there! This way I can see how you progress with your adventures better.
The filming and editing has come a long ways in 5 years!
I found your channel from a comment you made on a cerro gordo video.
Looking forward to going through 5 years of your content :)
Hey, thanks!
It's great to have these all in order. I have just been watchin yer 30th Nov on-line chat thing. I am not surprised your channel has done so well. I have now been watching your channel for AGES, but I have obviously missed one or two...So, Great. The 'Do Not Disturb' sign is now outside my door ! Stay Safe, but you are a very cut-out for this -and your narration is excellent; I.M.O. Cheers mate
you will be busy for a while!
thanks Frank and Max!
just found your chennel...i have been watching 'exploring abandoned mines' from another frank out of the southern u.s.
i find these vids very interesting, grat history !!!!
Yes Frank does a great job in the Nevada area. We have chatted a few times.
Hi Frank, just been watching through two seasons of videos backwards over a couple of weeks lol and now here.
Subscribed and thumbed up all the videos as I really enjoy your mining adventures and seeing this video with a tiny torch really shows how your channel begun and how you can have a great mine to explore but without good lighting its really difficult to get across how interesting these old mines are, but glad you quickly got better lighting in the following video's. Keep up the great work!!:-)
Thanks for watching them all and yes the lighting editing and production have improved!
Hi, I was shocked to see when you flipped over your plane! The way you was talking about it and then panned the camera round and there it was upside down was priceless, I didn't know if to laugh at that silly little wire fence you hit or cry, but glad you were not hurt! The drone footage is great, really gives us an idea of scale and how much area some of these mines sprawled over. But any plans on another plane in the future for more surveying?
Just found your channel. Enjoying your recent uploads. Also checking out some of your early work. Haven’t seen max in the recent videos. Hope you both are doing great.
He died 3 years ago...fell down a mine shaft.
Exploring Abandoned Mines I’m sorry. I didn’t know. I’ll treasure his appearances in the early shows more. Bless you in all you do.
Got a chance to look at your list of explorations, quite extensive. A lot i've missed, oh well. Maybe on a day i can get deeper into your list. I've got things to do myself, Be good.
You have been watching and commenting on a lot of them! Thanks for your support.
@@exploringabandonedmines I'm retarded, oops, retired, just killing time, just for education purposes, love it.
God bless you
Haven't seen max in while. Miss him
He died 4 years ago.
@exploringabandonedmines yes sir I was aware of this. I am an avid watcher of your show for many years now, I just wanted to express my feelings when I seen him. Again sorry for your loss and for bringing up old memories. He was such a wonderful companion to bring on your adventures I'm sure.
Good hunting grounds out there!
Cool video Frank! I liked it and made it 666 likes!!
Cause this is where the playlist ya just posted starts!
Ha thanks for checking it out......the vids get better!
@@exploringabandonedmines
They are all good Frank.
A little late but since I'm here, I won't be going away.
You just showed what the miners were looking at when they first dug the mine
Wow how could you see down in the mine?
that cart looks like a skip car, it would have been pulled up and down a vertical shaft by headframe to remove ore and waste rock from the lower levels
I think you are right! I never thought of it but it does look like a skip car thanks!
Are they any mines in the southeast just like that with orecarts
All over!
Frank, the tunnel you speak of at the 3 min. mark, is that the portal you see from the highway just to the east of Greenwood? We drove by a few weeks ago on our way to look at the old Greenwood smelter and thought it was part of an old railroad. Didn't realise it was a path to the old mines.
Yes it is a railroad tunnel not a portal. The mines are above that to the south. The Elkhorn fraction and the Providence behind that.
Thanks, Frank. We are planning to check it out soon.
👍👍👍👌

I know this is an old video but where are you located
Grand Forks BC
I like to do carving in soapstone.Do you know where I can get some soapstone around Greenwood,Grand Fork area?
None around that I know of. There is some argilette that natives carved with. It is jet black.
i live right by here.there is another hiden mine by the field under the power line's just off to the right going up the hill to the east . at 49.1126931,-118.6673739,397 . never been in it but there is a decent waste rock pile and a small cabin outside of it
I remember a small pile of waste rock there but I didn't see a cabin or an adit. Lots of other small mines closer to the highway. Thanks for the info!
its more up the hill by there just barely hidden by some smaller sized cotten woods.
Thanks I will have a look. It would have been great to get into the Providence but it seems to be all sealed off.
Where is it in rhode island
❤️👍🏼🏴☠️
count his there's lol
You can really tell he’s Canadian there eh! 😂❤
