Digging Out and Exploring a Deep Abandoned Mine

foreign [Music] welcome back to minor 49er got Mrs 49er with us today we're out here looking for an abandoned mine that I found a few years ago but couldn't get into it we're gonna see if we can dig it out so if you're watching this take that as a good sign that we found what we were looking for we were able to get in Plus found that over there which I didn't see last time I was up here anyway thanks for joining us today on Miner 49er we'll see in a few so I don't know if you can see it through the trees kicking all these trees we're like oversized bushes but first mine it's a sizable waist rock pile [Applause] just don't remember if this is the one or this is one I didn't see because I don't [Applause] I don't remember going into one around here [Applause] oh getting up this pile it's always well there's an opening is this the one I don't think so oh that's a tight hole this is definitely not the one but uh yeah I think [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] thank you foreign [Music] thank you thank you all right you guys as you can see by that time lapse which I hope you enjoyed we got the mine open at least enough to crawl in there still not a lot of room but I think we'll make it so got my flag up Adventure await are in progress excuse me so people will know we're in here if they happen to see us told people where we were parked the Jeep at the bottom of the hill they put two and two together minor 49ers off in one of his crazy Adventures again ragging his life wife along with him she comes on purpose oh all right it's gonna be a bit wonky going in so uh bear with us ladies and gentlemen oh foreign the fuzzy came off again try to zip oh sorry tried zip tying it that didn't work just know where to zip tie it half tempted to just move the whole dumb thing off all right in case you're weren't wondering before you get to uh concerned over there we do have an O2 sensor uh so we'll find out if there's bad air or not I'm suspecting it'll be okay depends on how deep she goes but hey we uncovered a mine let's go in before we go in I just wanted to let you guys know about some exciting news a few months back I told you about a book that I was writing the keepers of the stone book one it's a first book in a trilogy well we finally got the cover when the book becomes available so I'll definitely let you guys know I'm very excited about this is something I've been working for working towards for a very long time and I'm very very happy that it's finally happening but I won't hold you up any longer let's go ahead and get inside this mine yeah we're not gonna take the backpacks in but we will take the shovel with us and a few other goodies all right so we're all set I got the shovel got the O2 sensor I got extra battery you know can't survive without an extra battery I think we'll be fine in here uh there's just a lot of loose dirt on our way in and I've Got Gear that'll just get pummeled if we if we leave it in so we're gonna leave it out I don't think I'm gonna need a rope on this one so let's just get in there thank you Mrs 49er all right sorry we're in yep it's a good one there's a drop but it's not bad it's just a slope it's nice to get into one of these you all right cluster yeah it's just that opening it really is you just close your eyes and slide down and you're good oh yeah you got it you're basically there just slide your bum a little bit more yeah good thing I worked in the garden got all dirty today yeah the floor is really clean that's always good got some ties still here see the temperature guys grief all right so 19 degrees Celsius and 66 degrees Fahrenheit it was about 75 out on the surface so not so bad no mine's almost wide enough we can walk side by side too yeah that doesn't happen very often got some degree debris up ahead looks like some real railroad ties mine cart ties here yeah that one's still got a nail in it yep a couple of the ties were pulled up that wow that's quite the nail yeah nice [Music] that's a knife when if they pulled that out or just didn't bother finishing putting it back in oh look that guy she's I'm assuming he's asleep yeah you can get closer too yeah that's fun not paranoid about bats but when they come flying at you it's just startling yeah by the way in case you're wondering we do have backup she's got a bigger flashlight but she's just using her headlamp I'm using my flashlight but I've got a headlamp piece of wood it looks like just sticking around what it was for sorry I had my phone in a gimbal okay change his color again up here yeah certainly does where is that excuse me fun formations there pretty lame I saw sparkly over here it's hard to see the sparkly on the camera though well it looks like he's involving backfield but it still goes now that might have fallen this is definitely backfill it could be we're the first ones in a considerable amount of time I think it was closed shut and erosion just gradually opened it I'm trying to film and not slide at the same time very cool very cool there's the opening way down there camera doesn't want to focus right now oh huh it should be concern is not attached to anything be awesome and find a minecart we got right now some fun red coloration here it's interesting how there's a red followed by a stripe in the wall sides you follow in this vein yeah real line there for a cart anyway not a actual Railroad foreign temperature is 58 degrees that dropped fast some more lines maybe a turn okay oh yeah oh yeah doesn't look like it goes back very far but I can't tell if it turns or not so we'll save this for later [Music] we're gonna stay to the right like she says this is for sure for cool hello moisture dripping from the ceiling looks like someone cemented the wall here and there's writing on it I mean this doesn't look natural plaster or something LF Larry Fisher what's in here I don't know LF was in here whoever that is Lord Farquaad oh it's the end of the line looks like with the nail stuck back there you guys can't see it but right in the center of that light there is a nail this just stick it out all right let's head back to the junction and let's pour that other area I always like to stay to the right that way it's easier for me to know where I've been but that little pinprick of light up there that's the opening this hallway is definitely Messier yes I know I just called it a hallway you know what I'm okay with that and tell if it ends or if it turns it almost looks like it turns which would be very cool thank you maybe it does both turns and ends Yep this is the end this is the face okay that was awesome well wait for Mrs 49er to get back and then we'll bring you guys on out of the mine safely oh you're good all right we made it back to the portal at it something like that and now we get to go out which is easier said than done I might add I know I dug a hole but it's not the biggest of openings but Mrs 49ers handling it like a champ are you sliding down I don't suppose you're close enough to grab the fence I am now that'll help maybe yeah maybe not a champ there's a lot better not a lot better than I could do you'll see that in a few minutes I'm gonna toss you the shovel because you know that makes sense O2 disc sensored in um go off that's always a plus and now we get to get out of here let me turn this light off we'll get out one final check on the temperature 20 degrees that that can't be right 20 degrees Celsius 68 degrees seven whatever so in the time it took us to get from here at 68 at the back at 56 and then back here it turned back to 68. that's a significant temperature change all right we're coming out yeah shimmy up enough to there you go grab that pole got it ow yeah I did that several times too it's around the branch uh-huh oh yeah I made it I'll cover it in mud and dirt but yeah we made it well that's a wrap ladies and gentlemen we got this one in the bag that was an awesome exploration it's not too often you get a chance to uncover an abandoned mine and dig it out but uh this didn't work well this is really fun thank you guys so much for joining us today we'll see you next week foreign
