      Actually, I do have mid-roll ads. Last year, RUclips essentially forced us to accept them. They said it was "optional", but if we didn't accept them, the algorithm would ignore our channel. So, it was accept them or see your viewers fall to practically nothing.

    The changes in rock, and humidity always amaze me. Also that mold mess on the one ore chute, strange how it was just on that one chute, and not seen on any of the other lumber so far. as others have mentioned, the Bermuda shorts on the one intrepid explorer makes for interesting contrast down in the mine...

    That rock at the end has been heated to extreme temp suddenly, you can see the water spots on the rock that left mineral deposited in shape of water! Its prob humid because whatever super heated the rock is still hot far below. It might be part of a ancient (or new?) hot spring.

    Hi Justin, I really thought oh nooo that's it just a tiny little one level mine but then you showed the decline and it turned from boring to very interesting in an instant lol. That rock had a really red looking colour to it, it almost looked like blood but I'm hoping it wasn't, although I didn't see any other rock that had that vivid red on it. The next level down which I assume will be the 500 ?? looks like it's going to be a very interesting level to explore, I can't wait for the next video.
    Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🙏💖

    • @TVRExploring

      Oh, yes, the next level is a big one! I think the level in the next video is the 200 if I recall correctly... I don't remember seeing any blood and so I would assume it is the rock, but that would make a good start to a horror film.

    8:37 Looks more like paint for most of that, maybe they painted one to try and managed to trap enough moisture in the wood to allow fungus. Or... that could just be what that paint looks like when it decays, some will leave a chalky residue. Or, could be both. I wasn't there to see it up close :)

      Bishop Peak is a local hiking, climbing destination right in town. There is a small mine, that I can't find anything about? Its near Cal Poly State University, it's been a party/initiation destination for decades for the students. Maybe I'll go to the local history center and ask around. Its not much of a mine, but I'm curious. I do have a couple of videos, if you basically want to see a grown man wet himself. There is a whole history here with the Chinese and Irish etc.

      Sorry, SLO County is in California. The only mine that pops up when i look up the "Santa Margarita" mine, is the Rinconada Mine that was an old mercury mine that started in i think 1816 on the outskirts of the little town called Santa Margarita. Sad thing is people have destroy the processing plant thats there.
      Is that the same mine as the one in the video? If so, theres 2 more in the area a little further north just outside Paso Robles called the Klau mine and right next ti it the Buena Vista mine. Both were mercury mines as well. Haven't been in them since i was a kid but definitely worth checking them out.
