The underground building was probably a root cellar. And they may have had ice delivered. It's amazing the network they had to deliver ice. A history that is all but completely forgotten.
Hi, a very nice explore of this old mine, I agree that the cabin was used as a blacksmith forge. I bet that was a very busy little town in it's day. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
That's what I was thinking also, especially given the size of that boiler(?) at the end of the clip. Speaks of far more serious works than appears now.
When I was a kid we'd go for drives in the country. A common sight was a type of home which was merely a poured concrete basement with water and electrical, maybe sewer service although plumbing could be tricky you'd imagine, and roof. Back in that era it was possible to get an occupancy permit for this type of house. This was back in the 1970's. Too bad governments no longer have this accomodation for average people. Its a nastier world in this regard. Cheers.
I used my Sony a7III and a Sigma 14mm F/1.8 for this video. I now mostly use a Zeiss Batis 18mm lens because it is smaller and allows me to use a stabilizer. Thanks for watching!
I think most of them were loose material coming down from stopes and ore passes. So maybe not collapses in a traditional sense, but not quite backfill either.
Do you ever take a detector in and sweep around? I would think eventually a guy goin into as many gold mines as you aught to find a few decent nuggets? Maybe get lucky and find a gigantic one just waiting to be dug out!
Weak ending of the video. I was left wondering if something happened, or what. We caught a glimpse this giant interesting riveted boiler for only one second, and then nothing. 🤔
yeeh... ANd please. Go all the way even if you say it is a dead end or collapse. We like to see "all" of it. I think this mine is bigger. The upper/lower levels can be big. And the place where the hoist would have been. It looked like it was something behind that "room".
Very entertaining stuff here in the wonderful world of abandoned mines.
The fact that you show us a map of the mine brought your to the top of my favorite mine exploring channels

One of the nicer mine sites. Thanks for taking us along👍
Boilers don't make slag, furnaces do. Apparently some smelting occurred there.

Love your videos. You take me to places that I wouldn’t dare go. Thanks
Looks a bit like the new underground train station at stuttgart. Just a bit dryer and more solid.
The structure at the beginning was a blacksmiths shop. The metal chute going through the roof was to direct the forge smoke out of the building.
A lot of unanswered questions there. Good to see that what is left, has not been shot to shit.
I'd guess that mine was all hand dug with picks. I didn't see any shot holes anywhere.
Blacksmith shop...\ Very cool, thank you!
Where is this mine?
Been good to see ore they where mining.
Is that a tank railcar at the end of the clip?
@ 7:18 theres a light coming from the middle shaft did anyone see that
👍👍😎
Where do you get your info on the mines. I have an old coal mine on my property and haven’t been able to find much information about it.
Is it deep?

What kinda camera do you use it’s really good in low light. Enjoyed the video!

Yep, that's a hood for a blacksmith's forge.
Never see a lot of things around most of these old mines 😴 as far as buildings go.
7 people weren't mining their own business. I think you should do a collaboration with other mine explorers.
some of your collapses look like they are actually backfills imo? :)

That cabin could have possibly been used for assays.
I'm uncomfortable just watching the video being in the mine.
it might be original hires rootbeer can

Don't bypass so much.

If you don’t know what the building is used for then maybe you should read up on mining
