If you like this wait until you see part two. Also would like to thank everyone for watching our videos and we are almost at 10k subs. Thanks Al & Ioan
Greetings from the American West. It's a riveting deal watching you all delve into such familiar looking Victorian underground, yet it's peppered with top-shelf, uniquely British objects... like some kind of alternate dimension to my eyes. That last ore car was special, (as you know) intact wooden cars in their original workings are incredibly rare now. Looks far older than anything we'd ever encounter here since our hardrock escapades began in this part of the country around the 1870s or so. Your passion for history and adventure is palpable, keep up the good work!
I am nearly 5,000 miles from you here in Texas and am fully speechless. Such an amazing explore. Congratulations gentlemen. Thank you for braving the elements and landscape to bring this to us. Wish I was along with you physically but virtually will certainly do! LETS GET TO THAT 10K SUBSCRIBERS! Well deserved. Y’all are amazing! 👊🏼
Please please preserve and take those amazing artifacts out and get them looked after. They stick around too long and in too good nick to be left. What history right there
This video is the prime definition of the thrill of the unknown! Just knowing that you were the first people to step foot where no man has been for 120 years has to be exhilarating! Finding all the artifacts frozen in time helps to bring the mine back to life, in telling its story. Anxiously awaiting the next video from this mine explore! Keep up the great work and stay safe! Have a Happy New Year!
@@LostMines I thank you for all of your postings in 2020. It gives me shivers when your showing mining going back to Roman times. I'm so glad I found your site and look forward to many more excellent posting in 2021. Nothing but Peace and good health to you and yours!
I loved caving when I was young and this brings back such fond memories of doing very similar stuff and being told never to divulge the locations of a lot of the sites.
@@davidrockefeller2007 Unfortunately, even back then people were going in to caves and old mines and removing or destroying stalagmites and other natural formations and also artifacts from old mines. All these things should be left for future explorers to enjoy. Hence not telling people where some of the more hidden and therefore untouched places were.
What a find! Lads keep up the good work, and we hope you do a detailed recon in this mine. There are so meny cool finds, Yes you found "gold" in this mine. Thank you. Have a grand new year.
Really cool mine. Hard to imagine the amount of drilling, blasting, mucking, and hauling those miners had to do to open up such huge areas. Those metal dynamite boxes at 8:54 looked like the warming boxes used over a fire to thaw frozen sticks. Dynamite loses potency when it gets too cold. It doesn't explode when it overheats but more than one mine had a very vigorous fire when someone forgot they were thawing the stuff out.
The first wooden smoking pipes were made in Germany in the very early 1600s. But they were only used to breath in the smoke of tobacco that was burned in something else. It wasn't till the mid-1800s that the wide spread use of wooden pipes replaced pipes made of other materials like clay and porcelain. Many people have claimed to have been the first to make wooden pipes of briar, but the most reliable thesis suggests they were first made in Saint-Claude, France. Tobacco smoking pipes are still commonly made from briar wood. I have a few myself that I smoke occasionally.
Ok guys great explore, got a get that explosive box its complete and amazing. knowing it wont last much longer needs to be saved.keep up the great work
Pipes typically use Rose, Pear, Briar Wood. Sturdy as that one shows. Wow, looks like it was just used. Wow, wow, wow Explosive box and canisters. we don't find that over here, as you say. Blimy is right.
Just discovered and enjoying your channel. I've done a lot of exploring of the north Wales underground slate mines but it looks like you have more than enough to keep you occupied in mid Wales!
Wow...I felt like I was there with you guys. What an amazing explore! I've recently started watching ur channel and you have some of the best content I've seen...and so informative. You have gained a subscriber. I'm nearly 37 and I'm just getting back into caving and mine exploration, and your videos are really inspiring to me. Thankyou! I will be looking at booking a trip to your neck of the woods very soon!
@@88Scooby88 box would be OK leave explosive cans , but hopefully not many know location , as some crazy will try to recover and use them for god knows what
Interesting and great artifacts, Nitro glycerin is quite chemically stable and doesn't degrade easily, at first it was absorbed onto saw dust and later diatomaceous earth like fullers earth.
I love all youre videos! Heyyy how come you make such sort videos?? Would you consider making a 30 or 45 minute long video these mines you find? These look very interesting but the videos are soo short haha
If you like this wait until you see part two.

I should note there was earlier development in the West of course, but where I, myself reside didn't see much boom until the 1870s or thereabouts.

Awesome fun. Just subscribed. Greetings from Oregon U.S.A. ☮️
Zi don’t know how you have the bottle too go down so deep,I feel sick just watching.these films are highly addictive watching 😃👍👍
The bottle? 🧐 that’s a new one

Excellent exploration.
Wow, your hole goes straight into a huge stope :) I'd suggest your the first since that was closed, wow. Wow, amazed that cart still holding water!
How amazing was that pipe!!!
We saw all this because of you, I liked it very much.
What a find! Lads keep up the good work, and we hope you do a detailed recon in this mine. There are so meny cool finds, Yes you found "gold" in this mine. Thank you. Have a grand new year.
Thanks! Will do!
Wow we! That was cool
Nice one Ladd's.👍

Easily the most amazing mine artifacts I've ever seen. Wow!
Man I love that deep mine exploration in other countries!
Wow guys that was amazing lucky man
Great video. What a find!👍🏻🇬🇧
Another awesome video!!! Much better than anything one can find on the History or Discovery Channels. Keep them coming! 👍🏽
Thank you!Thank you!
Welcome!
Reminds me of going under houses in hand dug tunnels "with plenty of space to work " except my jobs never have plenty of room .
What amazing finds

@@LostMines When will you be posting it? Would be some amazing Sunday night viewing! :P
Next weekend
@@LostMines Guess I'll have to catch up on some of the classics I haven't seen yet!
Love the content, keep up the good work!!
Climbing those ladders after more than a centruy like a kids playground then finding 🧨. Amazing!
nice to hear you know some minerals
Wow We!
Really gave me a 1985 vibe of Edge Of Darkness, found everything but the Plutonium.
Speechless!!!
Pipes typically use Rose, Pear, Briar Wood. Sturdy as that one shows. Wow, looks like it was just used.
Wow, wow, wow Explosive box and canisters. we don't find that over here, as you say. Blimy is right.
Not a clickbait, so cool!
Merry Christmas to you guys and have a prosperous New year, keep up the University study work.
Hi there Merry Christmas to you , keep up the good work u do cause love the abandoned mine adventures :) always ever so intresting.
Good bug out location. You guys might need this place in the future. Seriously! Stockpile food down there for a bad day. I would keep it quiet. 🤫
Haha yes absolutely
Just discovered and enjoying your channel. I've done a lot of exploring of the north Wales underground slate mines but it looks like you have more than enough to keep you occupied in mid Wales!
This is really cool
So amazing!
Thank you!!
Pretty sure you guys were the first back in those tunnels in decades.
Oooh, Look!! Explosives!!..... Nonchalantly lifts cover off...
Well done! SUBSCRIBED
Thanks 👍
Thank you too
If that ore cart could talk, what would it say? Awesome find, that cart made many workers jobs a little easier.

Great explore. Can't wait to see Golem in one of y'all's videos lol
I subbed just for this video alone awesome explore guys keep it up
Guys, you just gotta take those explosive boxes to your museum! If only to preserve them, otherwise, they will just rot away! (And the mine carts!).
Wouldn't be touching them myself, they will be sweating at that age and volatile
@@88Scooby88 the mine carts are sweating and volatile?
@@Oscartherescuedog The dynamite, old dynamite sweats nitro
@@88Scooby88 box would be OK leave explosive cans , but hopefully not many know location , as some crazy will try to recover and use them for god knows what
@@scooterdogg7580 "and use them for god knows what"
There's a good chance they might use it on themselves during the recovery. 😆
It amazes me how they forget about carts, they must have been a major expense.
Fantastic
7:12 Y'all trust that 140 year old ladder more than I trust my wife.
Hi guys, I would write a long comment but better don't... Speechless. 😉
I will only say - for me this is instant subscribe still while I'm watching! ❤
