I was trained in the army on explosives and what you're doing breaks every safety rule , stay safe please. A detonator will remove fingers off your hand or blind you.
Exploring Abandoned Mines it would be useful if you studied basic geology, so you would be able to point out, the composition of mine geological makeups.
Great show, Frank. Yeah, we'll say it was a Blast ! I think that Your show is genuinely important for preserving this important aspect of our history. Keep up the good work . . . and stay safe bud.
Thanks Daye. We went out on a historic mission today. Four of us located the Tramline that ran from Rock Candy to 30 km on the North Fork. The towers and the even the cables are still there. It really was an impressive tram the last span between towers down the mountain was .54 miles
Hello Frank found this link thru Adventure r Us .Frank you are the # number 1 explorer if there is something to find you are the 1 also seen MAX on this video it was nice to re hear Max great video you are the one take care ⛏️🏆🤔
This was a great video, Frank. I appreciated the demonstration with the blasting caps in the beginning and your willingness to push to get into the mines, whether it is via an inner tube or using technical gear such as ropes, makes for extremely interesting viewing. Oh, and the story of this particular mine with its little experiment of using massive amounts of explosives is a nice bit of history.
Thanks for your comments. While it is true that people enjoy a great story nobody wants to hear the same story over and over so I am doing my best to shake things up and keep it interesting. Planning on doing some work with some new people.........stay tuned!
I grew up in Monroe County, Indiana. I remember my parents warning me about blasting caps. We had quarries less than half a mile away, and even notices on television concerning warnings of playing with blasting caps. We had limestone quarries--not precious metals of course--this just brought back memories!
I will have to take a break this winter but we will be back at it early spring. If you subscribe and turn on your notifications on the gear beside the subscribe button you will be notified as new videos come out.
Frank, thanks for making these videos! I just stumbled upon your channel today and have been watching for about 5 hours straight. No mines for me in Indiana so I'll have to get my fix watching your videos. Would love to drink a beer with ya lol, can't beat drinking beers and blowing stuff up!
A great episode Frank and well done on the SRT, you are getting the hang of it now! Like you say, it gets you into places most people haven't been. Be interesting if you do find that shaft, but I expect there is plenty more easy walk-in ones to see around there? Safe exploring my friend!
God i enjoy your videos so much, ty for posting these i thoroughly enjoy them, i've seen them all and still love rewatching them, any idea when a new one might pop up ?
In the US Marines they show ya how to make a wire obstacle breacher made from c-4 and steel road sign posts... Well I was making one as a demo for the grunts.had 8 sticks of c4 laying in the channel but I was missing the boosters (basically two caps crimped on a short piece of det cord) used to connect all the c4 to each other... I hollered at one of my guys to run get em... Well he was eager to please and was actually running when he tripped and smacked them off a rock, blew his whole hand off at the wrist .. No shit ..cool vids man
Have you ever brought down some insulated chest waders to move around where the water is above the knee or really cold. maybe you would find some cool stuff because most people wont go past the water. I always wonder what's beyond. It might lead to a new area that is like a time capsule!
We used to wrap the det cord around the blasting cap and tie or wire it there. The det cord was then set up to time your loaded holes by placing it in sequence that you wanted. Det cord through or around dynamite sticks will set it off just like a cap. So we only used one cap to set the whole charge off. Det cord burns/explodes at about 25,000 feet per second so the dynamite always gets set off.
You say the blasting cap was not very dangerous, but I watched this a few times and at 3:50 it looks like the cap damages/chips the concrete when it explodes... Is this correct? How powerful are those blasting caps in reality? It looked a bit more than a firecracker to me. Thanks for the video(s) as well, keep up the good work...
I've walked on that massive slag pile in Greenwood, the stuff is hard and as sharp as glass. When walking down the smoke flume that feeds the chimney up on the hill the odor of combustion is still present after 100 years.
I was there last summer so cool to see it under ground I met that guy who lives out there it's him and his dad he took me for a drive around in his truck showed me that cemented portal then took me up top of the mine
Now that's a cave that could use a scuba-diver! Good tour! Was that some air-hose where you found the bottle? That blast must have been quite a sight even from a distance away!
I was thinking of trying out my wetsuit in the 200 level but then I thought with the small air pockets and the high Sulfur in the ore it wouldn't be a good idea.
We used to stick the electric ones into a sack of limestone dust to put a coating over everything in a roadway to act as a fire retardant in coal mines in England ! They saved a lot of work, otherwise we would have to cut a sack in two then throw it over everything like chicken feed ;)
A little tricky that......if the cap wasn't well covered and there was a lot of coal dust the cap could set off an explosion. I bet the mine manager didn't know about it!
yes you are rite ! they used to stick the cap into one sack and put another sack on top of it then hide in a manhole and press the plunger ! a hell of a lot of illegalities went on down all mines, it was all A ok till someone got hurt, then people got fined, sacked or/and put in prison ?? the buck was passed down the ranks ! Money, money, money m8, corners were cut at every opportunity ?
LOL you made me laugh when you picked up the dynamite box and it fell apart... "Might kinda wreck it by picking it up... Oh... Oops... (completely falls apart)" I bet you have tried to bring things out that looked great when found but by the time you get it out its destroyed. Dang dry rot.
I'm pretty sure that I've heard that some mines get their warmth from radioisotopes in the rocks. They're very weak but because of the mass of the rocks there's enough radioactivity (not enough to be harmful) to produce a bit of heat.
Hey Buddy, If heard you talk about the right hand wall method. Could you please explain?...well i googled it and understand now. Has this method always worked for you?
Sure fairly simple it is a method that I developed to navigate mine tunnels. If you are travelling along and you reach an intersection you always take the right branch. If you do that you will explore all the branches and will end up back to the portal with out having to remember where you went. It works well in simple formations. It gets tougher in multi levels and complicated stopes.
Out of curiosity, when you're alone, do you carry anything to protect yourself? And have you ever fallen down anything, and had trouble? Like, a false floor, etc?
Holding a blasting cap like Frank did to demonstrate how it works goes a long way to explaining why boys, including men, get into accidents and hurt themselves. I'd say Frank, you should admit it was the wrong way to demonstrate and do not ever do the same. This coming from a boy who learned a few lessons the hard way.
Yes, we had old fuse with caps like this but still the old tar black fuse. It had been frozen, outside and though not visibly wet, it made the fuse burn at a much different rate, that was quite unpredictable. Sometimes burning in quick bursts for several inches at once, and then slow burn, so the 3 minute time was nowhere near accurate. The metal flying off the exploding blasting cap is very sharp ! I also have many stories about setting these off, and of course it is exciting!
they still use nonelectric lines. not so much light by fire ie lighter, but initiated using a 22 shell and a stomper or clicker which sends fire down a signal tube to a blasting cap. Provided you tie the blast in correctly you get some pretty decent results. (my last job was tieing in shots :)
I guess the advantage especially on larger blasts with electric charges is the ability to stagger the detonations to take advantage of the shock waves to multiply the force of a blast.
Exploring Abandoned Mines non electric allows the blaster to completely control the timing of each cap. Lead in lines have built in delays so after the trunk line goes off, each cap can be set to go off at any desired time. Nonelectric blasting is amazingly simple, and much safer than electric.
Oh yeh, just watched your vid on that! You did well! I have designed my own plane. As soon as the concept model is built ill post a vid on TH-cam. It will be a hybrid fixed wing - lighter than air machine.
It'd be cool if you could get out there with a geologist or a mining engineer so we could get an extra bit of info reading the walls so to speak. No more than 20% of the commentary track or the video, the rest would be all you. Plus it would add another character to your series. People get attached to characters :)
Max just waits by the truck or the quad or by the hole depending on the situation. He never goes very far. Same at home we don't have a fenced yard and never tie him up he just stays around.
Most mines are like the branches of a tree you start off on the main trunk and move up.. Each time you come to a fork you always go to the right and you won't get lost.
Many people mistake dynamite and tnt they are 2 different products......and a myriad of other explosives for commercial use going back to the early 1900 s
They are fairly similar in style and function. Modern blasting technology has evolved substantially. For one thing old unstable explosives are no longer a problem in most mines.
Exploring a mine is like climbing a tree. If you start at the trunk the branches get smaller as you go up. On the way back down you just follow the main road back.
Just don't let a blasting cap go off in your hand. Shit doesn't tickle. One did in mine in November of 2019. I have a short shitty video on the aftermath. It's pretty nasty so don't watch if you don't like blood
And things go BOOOOM. They wanted to get at the ore in a better way, they thought. Blowing it to smithereens, wasting time. Being down there and seeing a running Packrat, their fairly fast aren't they. Aluminum will corrode in salty moist areas, it being dry there, it was safe.
A blast like that destabilized the entire mountain, fractured the rock clear to oaklahoma :) You know they hired some young guy, who on his first day said: Yeah man, we can get more for less - there is a better way. We just load that hole with secondary and wire it up....hit that clacker and the money will roll in!!! The next day, the old hand came in and said nooooooo you cant do that boss man - it doesnt work like that - we use explosives for brute force, but we have to use our brains to place them....but boss man heard "Something For Nothing", the charges were already in place...and he said naaaa, ill listen to the young guy. Kilt that cash cow out of greed impatience and lack of respect for the charges, the earth, and the mine they had built!
I really enjoy your videos and the material. That you cover but might be a good idea to slow down with the camera. you move to fast and it doesn't let your video focus half the time. kind makes me dizzy watching.
Those hand (not all cases) , pneumatic rock drills . . can be almost as much fun . . that you can have with your clothes on , above ground , underground , well , you can join the dots , with ventilation , dust , life expectancy etc , but yeah above ground , it ticks all the box,s , like for popping , as in going about with a hand drill , to drill boulders for secondary blasting , that are too large , in this case , to create the side wall of a new salt water( dimension stone ) . . wharf .
careful of blasting caps/detonators they will blow your fingers off no problem if miss handled , very touchy , believe me and they do not age well - they leach
you're just scary bad dude scary bad be careful I just have nightmares if you getting trapped and your wife go on I know he's in there I know he's in there and he's alive and The Rescuers going we're too scared to mine is too dangerous we can't go in
I am More Mesmerized By This than Most of the Documentaries I see on the Fricking TV...
Fucking Á man ,,,I agree ,, best mine show yet...have a good one
I was trained in the army on explosives and what you're doing breaks every safety rule , stay safe please. A detonator will remove fingers off your hand or blind you.
Wow, what a huge mine....great tour, thanks Frank..!
Very welcome
love the little laugh when the blasting cap went off goes to prove no madder how old boys are boys
When are you too old to be amused by an explosion?
Exploring Abandoned Mines In BC if i ever get that old ill let ya know
Exploring Abandoned Mines it would be useful if you studied basic geology, so you would be able to point out, the composition of mine geological makeups.
Thanks frank for all the work you do on these , you rock man so enjoyable to watch
This channel has taught me so much, love it, keep up the (safe) exploring!
I have learned a lot as well!
That laugh after the blasting cap goes off!!
Great show, Frank. Yeah, we'll say it was a Blast ! I think that Your show is genuinely important for preserving this important aspect of our history. Keep up the good work . . . and stay safe bud.
Thanks Daye. We went out on a historic mission today. Four of us located the Tramline that ran from Rock Candy to 30 km on the North Fork. The towers and the even the cables are still there. It really was an impressive tram the last span between towers down the mountain was .54 miles
Hello Frank found this link thru Adventure r Us .Frank you are the # number 1 explorer if there is something to find you are the 1 also seen MAX on this video it was nice to re hear Max great video you are the one take care ⛏️🏆🤔
Cool, thanks
Wow. Appreciate getting to see this. Thanks for doing stuff like this so us people who'd fall to our doom or get stuck don't have to!
We do our best to document the mines, show some history and have some fun!
Thanks for sharing this video with us :)
I like that ghoulish laugh after the blasting cap blows off.
This was a great video, Frank.

Frank, thanks for making these videos! I just stumbled upon your channel today and have been watching for about 5 hours straight. No mines for me in Indiana so I'll have to get my fix watching your videos. Would love to drink a beer with ya lol, can't beat drinking beers and blowing stuff up!
You guys don't have much alcohol in your beer.........Canada has some pretty strong beer!
Exploring Abandoned Mines fair point, I usually shake my old pal Jack Daniels hand for that reason. Any recommendations on a good Canadian whiskey?
A great episode Frank and well done on the SRT, you are getting the hang of it now! Like you say, it gets you into places most people haven't been. Be interesting if you do find that shaft, but I expect there is plenty more easy walk-in ones to see around there? Safe exploring my friend!
The shaft is filled with rubble and the only other adit is also caved...........well on to the next one! Thanks for the comments.
Awsome you took Max along!
HELL YEAH MORE GOOD STUFF FROM THIS GUY GREAT VID
Oh wow Frank you really worried me there a couple of times with those rocks falling lol. x
another good one.. lots to see in there
Glad I stumbled across your channel from another exploring channel. Mine exploring videos are so interesting
Even if you are watching at home you never know what is around the next corner!
Be Save and Thanks for sharing your Video's ..
Love it. Thank you
you guys got brass balls to be doing this stuff, and i want to come with ya.....crazy adventurous buggers
You get to play with some cool stuff and you do it the right way. You under stand what blasting caps can do.
God i enjoy your videos so much, ty for posting these i thoroughly enjoy them, i've seen them all and still love rewatching them, any idea when a new one might pop up ?
Every Thursday around noon........I am grateful for your support and I am glad you enjoy them!
It looks like that blasting cap holds as much punch as a .22, maybe a bit larger.
Was that the base of a glass topped patio table down there by the light????
In the US Marines they show ya how to make a wire obstacle breacher made from c-4 and steel road sign posts... Well I was making one as a demo for the grunts.had 8 sticks of c4 laying in the channel but I was missing the boosters (basically two caps crimped on a short piece of det cord) used to connect all the c4 to each other...

dang
Where and when did this happen? expedient bangalore or Bang for short is what you are referring to.
Have you ever brought down some insulated chest waders to move around where the water is above the knee or really cold. maybe you would find some cool stuff because most people wont go past the water. I always wonder what's beyond. It might lead to a new area that is like a time capsule!
I've seen metal blasting caps that you stick the det-cord in and then place it in Dynamite that are not electric blasting caps
Yes there are two basic types electric and the powder fuse type
We used to wrap the det cord around the blasting cap and tie or wire it there. The det cord was then set up to time your loaded holes by placing it in sequence that you wanted. Det cord through or around dynamite sticks will set it off just like a cap. So we only used one cap to set the whole charge off. Det cord burns/explodes at about 25,000 feet per second so the dynamite always gets set off.
I totally agree on the load-out chutes.👍😎🍻
You say the blasting cap was not very dangerous, but I watched this a few times and at 3:50 it looks like the cap damages/chips the concrete when it explodes... Is this correct? How powerful are those blasting caps in reality? It looked a bit more than a firecracker to me. Thanks for the video(s) as well, keep up the good work...
Absolutely amazing.
I've walked on that massive slag pile in Greenwood, the stuff is hard and as sharp as glass. When walking down the smoke flume that feeds the chimney up on the hill the odor of combustion is still present after 100 years.
The slag pile in Grand Forks is much larger. We hiked around it and flew the drone there a few days ago.
Lit fuses are usually are at rate of 43 seconds per ft.
I was there last summer so cool to see it under ground I met that guy who lives out there it's him and his dad he took me for a drive around in his truck showed me that cemented portal then took me up top of the mine
Frederick N Arne is good people as well as his Dad. Best to bring out a box of beer and you will be welcomed!
What does your faithful companion do while you are rappeling down?
He just lays down and waits. Or he used to.
@@exploringabandonedmines Mans best friend i tell ya
Sure a big difference from the vids you are making now ... much enjoyed ... still waiting for vid where u go for a unexpected bath. Hehe
Lots of time to practice the art of film making!
Now that's a cave that could use a scuba-diver! Good tour!
Was that some air-hose where you found the bottle?
That blast must have been quite a sight even from a distance away!
I was thinking of trying out my wetsuit in the 200 level but then I thought with the small air pockets and the high Sulfur in the ore it wouldn't be a good idea.
u are my favorite keep up the good work
It hardly seems like work..........but ok!
Truly enjoyed the mining adventure...

Wooden barrels are the worst. They look good in a mine but fall apart in no time when the wood dries out.
I'm pretty sure that I've heard that some mines get their warmth from radioisotopes in the rocks. They're very weak but because of the mass of the rocks there's enough radioactivity (not enough to be harmful) to produce a bit of heat.
The main reason is that there is a huge heat sink there. All summer there is warm air going into the mine and it warms the rock that holds the heat.
@@exploringabandonedmines that makes sense.

Thanks. Love your vids man keep at it.
cool indeed … TY frank :)
Love going down a small shaft and finding massive workings still standing below. Most of the time otherwise completely inaccessible.
It certainly gets the blood pumping!
Hey Frank...does Max just sit and chill, whilst you climb up some where?
No he used to follow......or lead.
I'm sorry to hear he's passed away mate 😔
keep it up great video
Out of curiosity, when you're alone, do you carry anything to protect yourself? And have you ever fallen down anything, and had trouble? Like, a false floor, etc?
The worse problem I ever had was with loose material falling down a shaft because of my rope.
That blasting cap can take a couple of fingers off if you aren't careful...
cool video who is your theme music it's cool too
I only watched the blasting cap blow and it was still fun
Blowing stuff up is always fun. 911 really screwed things up. Until then farmers could buy dynamite.
I’ve dealt with a lot of primer cord and shot caps...

Had.....I crashed it in April. Now I have a drone!
Oh yeh, just watched your vid on that! You did well! I have designed my own plane. As soon as the concept model is built ill post a vid on TH-cam. It will be a hybrid fixed wing - lighter than air machine.
Nice Video
Please be careful ... that does not look very safe out with all the rubble.
Cool stuff. I do find actually looking at the video to be somewhat disorienting. The blur from the lack of deinterlacing...
It'd be cool if you could get out there with a geologist or a mining engineer so we could get an extra bit of info reading the walls so to speak. No more than 20% of the commentary track or the video, the rest would be all you. Plus it would add another character to your series. People get attached to characters :)
Aluminum does corrode. It leaves a white oxide powder behind
What happens to your dog when you go down places he can't like when you use the ropes?
Max just waits by the truck or the quad or by the hole depending on the situation. He never goes very far. Same at home we don't have a fenced yard and never tie him up he just stays around.
what is the really bright rock at 17min 30sec?
It is calcium that was in the water that dripped on to the rock. Just like a build up in your shower head.
did you get your plane fixed?
No the insurance company salvaged it.
ahh bummer. eitherway love your videos, the artifacts you find are amazing keep up the awesome work!!
Do you ever find any minerals worth anything?
No I am not looking for minerals only documenting history and artifacts.
WONDERING IF EVER SET STICK OF DYNAMITE OFF
how do you find your way out and have you ever been scared to yourself lost
Most mines are like the branches of a tree you start off on the main trunk and move up.. Each time you come to a fork you always go to the right and you won't get lost.
Lol boom muahaha thumbs up man stay safe out there
I still have all my limbs!
Many people mistake dynamite and tnt they are 2 different products......and a myriad of other explosives for commercial use going back to the early 1900 s
They are fairly similar in style and function. Modern blasting technology has evolved substantially. For one thing old unstable explosives are no longer a problem in most mines.
14:36 (pause it) Is it just me or does this look like a man watching down at him on?? 14:36 (pause it)
its the rock colouring
The largest blast in Canadian mining history...as far as I know.. was at the Sullivan mine in Cranbrook B.C.
Sorry...Kimberly B.C.
how do ,u ,find your way back ,out ??
Exploring a mine is like climbing a tree. If you start at the trunk the branches get smaller as you go up. On the way back down you just follow the main road back.
Just don't let a blasting cap go off in your hand. Shit doesn't tickle. One did in mine in November of 2019. I have a short shitty video on the aftermath. It's pretty nasty so don't watch if you don't like blood
That deposit looks active to me.
Shame to leave lead and silver behind...
Magnifique
And things go BOOOOM. They wanted to get at the ore in a better way, they thought. Blowing it to smithereens, wasting time. Being down there and seeing a running Packrat, their fairly fast aren't they. Aluminum will corrode in salty moist areas, it being dry there, it was safe.
That's what happens when you make serious decisions over bottles of whiskey. KABOOM
I struggle to watch these early videos knowing what happened to your adventure buddy. 😞
Have two sleeping next to me that look just like him.
A blast like that destabilized the entire mountain, fractured the rock clear to oaklahoma :) You know they hired some young guy, who on his first day said: Yeah man, we can get more for less - there is a better way. We just load that hole with secondary and wire it up....hit that clacker and the money will roll in!!! The next day, the old hand came in and said nooooooo you cant do that boss man - it doesnt work like that - we use explosives for brute force, but we have to use our brains to place them....but boss man heard "Something For Nothing", the charges were already in place...and he said naaaa, ill listen to the young guy.

Dee Dubbs what the fuck are you sir belching about? Do you know about what your putting on utube? If you do then go show them! If not go away!
It does look like a man looking down at 14:36
were you by yourself
Ive been to greenwood my dads from there
👍🏼❤️
HAHA that laugh XD 3:57
Those brass balls gotta get in the way in those caves
Titanium not brass!
I really enjoy your videos and the material. That you cover but might be a good idea to slow down with the camera.
you move to fast and it doesn't let your video focus half the time. kind makes me dizzy watching.
This video was shot last year in season one. The newer ones are quite a bit bit better and we now have better cameras.
Is mining in your family's history ?
No it isn't I am learning about it as I go. I am a retired rancher.
I love this guys videos but if I hear stope one more time im going to lose it.listen guy enough with the stopes !!!!!!!
Stope.
Those hand (not all cases) , pneumatic rock drills . . can be almost as much fun . . that you can have with your clothes on , above ground , underground , well , you can join the dots , with ventilation , dust , life expectancy etc , but yeah above ground , it ticks all the box,s , like for popping , as in going about with a hand drill , to drill boulders for secondary blasting , that are too large , in this case , to create the side wall of a new salt water( dimension stone ) . . wharf .
I would love to find out more about hand drilling. Explosives are a lot of fun......too bad about 911.
careful of blasting caps/detonators they will blow your fingers off no problem if miss handled , very touchy , believe me and they do not age well - they leach
Well so far so good!
They decided to do one big blast? Come on....really? Ha ha ha ha!
They did!
You dont need a helicopter for those overhead shots, use a commercial drone instead! Save ya a couple pennies!!
That wasn't a chopper it was my ultralight. Burns less fuel than a pick up!
Honest honey I was just minding my own business and it just wound up in that hole. Honest honey...one in a million freak accident. 🤣🙄
8;07 all this has happened before .And all this will happen again.
Oh you pyromaniac lol
you skip by so much REALLY REAL GOLD your funny lets work together. Volcanic activity is why it was so warm....
you're just scary bad dude scary bad be careful I just have nightmares if you getting trapped and your wife go on I know he's in there I know he's in there and he's alive and The Rescuers going we're too scared to mine is too dangerous we can't go in
