good job on getting the gear ....now the fun begins .... me and Slim love that you got what you need to go places most can't or won't ..... you got to try the new Petzl I'D Ss descender..... two way radios for shaft recon work is good too ...beautiful Gypsum crystals
Thank you. Yes, getting on the ropes can definitely get one into some rewarding areas! I'll look up that Petzl descender you described as I am not familiar with it. Thanks.
@@JJJOOSSHHH Most mines in Iowa are difficult to access and on private property. I would suggest Mines of Spain near Dubuque, you can see old shafts and other artifacts, although all shafts are closed and you can't access what's beneath. I don't know of any not on private prop and without roping down. Iowa dnr.gov has a map of the 600 or more coal mines in the state, a lot with old maps, but most are shaft access only. (programs.iowadnr.gov/maps/coalmines/)There used to be a lot of surface mines in Iowa as well, but most of those have been reclaimed due to the environmental impact it left. Dubuque is entirely built on hundreds of lead mines with over 2000 shafts, which causes sinkholes as the workings below can't support what's above anymore. You used to be able to get into those through the storm sewers, but I have no idea if any are accessible anymore. Info on Iowa mines other than coal mines are harder to find. P.S, for many years till 1900, we beat Colorado in production (of coal), and were in the top ten nationally of producers for a long time, yet that history has faded into obscurity. At least until another sinkhole opens up anyway.
Hi Justin, pretty cool that you managed to get back there to complete the explore, thank you for sharing and thanks to Jeremy for his footage too, much love. xx💖
Thank you, Sue. Yes, I am very glad that we managed to get back to this one and to cover those unexplored sections of the mine. Nothing worse than unfinished business for me!
I really like your videos a lot.And I like when you talk to it too.As you're going through the caves cause you tell a lot of stuff in there that nobody's ever seen
Another outstanding video sir! You and your buddies were well equipped for going into those places. These are places that I cold never get to go see. Thanks again sir!
Ssshh, Jeremy is filming. Great group u had with ya. Nice gold mine and like the furry rocks. Looked like gypsum, but hard to tell on tv. Thanks for the explore guys.
Kelvinator was a United States home appliance manufacturer and a line of domestic refrigerators that was the namesake of the company. Although as a company it is now defunct, the name still exists as a brand name owned by Electrolux AB.
Kelvinator is still a somewhat common brand in Australia. Aircons, fridges etc. It's cheap stuff though, so I assume it's a case of slap an old brand on generic cheapo products.
At about the 25:40 mark where there are numbers on the walls I’m sort of thinking the larger numbers beginning with 8 are distance markers as they increase by increments of 1 and the distance between them look to be about a meter or yard. Were you on the 8th level by chance? The smaller numbers vary and have an arrow pointing up and I’m betting they are probably grades or values of minerals in that specific location. If they are grades they look to be pretty good if it is gold. Gram’s per ton? That ore looks good and the tracks are still in and in good shape. I wonder when the mine stopped working and why. Could have been WW 2 why they stopped and maybe never returned home to continue mining. There were a lot of mines that stopped because of the war and became abandoned mines.
Holy crap! Colliers was printed in my hometown! I had family that used to work there. That was crazy to see. I knew it was a huge company but this was just awesome to see.
Thanks, and thanks to your friend Jeremy for providing the footage of the lower levels. Few place on earth that I have been to match the sheer silence of what he experienced in the those lower levels. Really something else. Reading your comments answered some questions about the what and when of that mine, it did seem like a lot of materiel was moved, but a lot of exploratory work going on as well. Kelvinator...many memories associated with that brand name, Dad had a Kelvinator converted to a kegerator in his home shop when I was a kid. If I ever find one for a reasonable price I am gonna grab it!
Well Done Manny Guys Down there in the mine but that is good Young guys must move on to do the exploring als dokumenting the old workings Thanks for sharing Take care and best wishes yours Frank Galetzka
Thank's for sharing. So cool, to learn about these mines. I just started watching askjeffwilliams, so as your walking around I'm looking at the walls looking at those quartz veins and the colors of the stone and trying to identify what types of minerals. :)
Those sheet metal plates were not only use as blast sheets, but also used as metal sheets to turn ore carts from one track to another. Not sure of the exact terminology, but they would apparently allow ore carts to turn by bearing on the wheel flanges. Turning sheets turning plates or something like that.
I have noticed that a lot of the mines you explore have fairly modern plastic survey tape adourning the various passages. I assume this is from mine explorers similar to yourself. Do you have access to survey data and/or maps to (m)any of the mines you explore?
Nice to see closure on this one, it was worth the wait to see whats down there! How did you find the rope experience, I know you done a little bit in the past, see you using the new petzl stop, I use the old one and ID, good gear and feel safe using it.
Thank you. Yes, that unfinished business hanging over us is unpleasant! I always like getting on the ropes to get down to good stuff that most people are not willing or able to see. That's certainly something that you know a lot about! I have definitely learned the importance of using climbing gear that you're comfortable with. So, no reason to get the new stop if the old one is working fine for you.
Where are all the ore cars? Pretty tough to steal one, I would think. Are they in the front yards of the locals homes? Another quality vid I must say. Thanks.
Thank you. People go to pretty extraordinary lengths to steal them, unfortunately... And, yes, I would not be at all surprised if the ore cars from this mine were in someone's front yard. All too often they then end up in the scrap heap after the person that stole them eventually dies because their heirs don't care about them and don't know where they came from.
That is Bemis Bros. bag Co. which was started in 1858 by Judson Bemis in St. Louis Missouri. Judson's nephew who was also named Judson also worked with the firm. He died in 1938 at the age of 71.
They're just survey markers or spots where samples were taken. Things are preserved perfectly in dry abandoned mines and so they could be decades old or as little as a few years. They're not uncommon in abandoned mines that modern mining companies might have some interest in because they're in a good location.
@TVR -- Justin , @5:18 - that is a Sample Number , not a Date . Note the Bar above the Number and the Arrow pointing to where the Sample was taken . Anytime you see a Number with a Bar & Arrow either above or below the Number it's a Sample Location . A good Sampling regimen is essential during mining to let you know of any Rich zones or possibly other Ore Bodies . Since those Numbers are done in Carbide Soot , they are probably from the time of the Mine ; not like the Red Flagging & Metal Tags from a much much later time . --- < Doc , Miner for over 50 years > .
So, when that guy was down at the bottom of that shaft and walking around on that lowest level (looks like it goes down even further) How far underground was he?
September 1, 1939 Hitler's Blitzkrieg marches into Poland starting the beginning of the Phony War that turned real within months. Thanks for going down there. I just hadn't felt complete.
Yes, it is amazing to consider how much the world has changed since that printed material ended up down a dark, dry mine shaft and has been quietly riding out the decades ever since... Haha, very happy to help you feel complete now!
It's nice to see that you use multiple rope anchor points (at least on the top one you did.) I see a lot of guys using a single anchor point and that always makes me kind of cringe. I see Al and Ioan in Wales drill holes in the rock and set 4 or 5 anchor points. Sometimes excess is a good thing :> --- When you said those carbon lamp numbers could indicate meters, I would guess they are yards. Might be interesting to carry a tape measure with you; if it's 36 inch between them it's yards, if it's 39.37 inch it's meters. --- I spent about an hour trying to find a photo that matched that burlap bad. Trying to figure if it said Beans, or Bears, or Beaver since the character does kinda look like it might be a beaver. But I failed and found nothing.
Yes, multiple anchor points are definitely something we look for in an abandoned mine... Ha, yeah, I'm sure it would be much more likely that they would be in yards. I've been living in Europe for too long and think in meters rather than yards now! I believe it was "Bemis" or something similar to that - a couple of other viewers weighed in with some information on it.
Ahh yes, I see it now; Bemis Bros. Their logo is a cat crawling out a bag. www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/bemis-brothers-bag-company-st-louis-110351459 I'm going to have to do some research now. One of my great grandmother's maiden name was Bemis.
The ribbons are just survey markers or where samples were taken. They're not uncommon in abandoned mines that modern mining companies might be interested in because they're in a good location. These old mines that are visited by the geologists are rarely brought back into production though.
I noticed that as well and I assume they must be some weird mineralization because that was a couple of hundred feet down and there wasn't much vegetation on the surface to speak of...
22:42 - was that something _growing_ on the walls? Not floestone or crystals? 24:50 - please, PLEASE tell me Jeremy got a closer shot of whatever that was!
I'm really not sure about that thing that looked like something growing on the side... I suppose it could have been some sort of mold. I'm afraid that what you saw is all we have of Jeremy's footage.
For the phone recorded video near the end, it would have been better to record in landscape rather than in portrait. Landscape shows more detail and is more natural looking.
Wow you had quite a crew there thank You for the Video . Did Jeremy run into a giant Spyder at about 25 mins ? Those lower layers were nice to see . there was a Bunch of adds About 4 mins in was a Biker Leg Purse add then at 8:15 it was Drug Free 13;15 was Monocular Telescope 18;12 had Thunder Woman 20 mins had a Cdc Flu add . Stay Safe .
I don’t need to rope down to tell you what is at the bottom. Air, darkness, earth, rocks, and wood is down there. But what fun is that? Abseil into the unknown!!
Everybody going rope crazy at the moment. Jeremy's footage reminded me of something, can't quite put my finger on why.. ruclips.net/video/f2picMQC-9E/видео.html Also that crystal growth is cool, wonder what it is that's growing..
You never comment on the pink/red flags. I don’t know if data was recorded. Surely the flags are newer than 1871 and other dates you found. Bemis Bag was an Indianapolis company. I feel certain Bemis operated until recently. There is mention of Bemis here: historicindianapolis.com/sunday-ads-weve-got-you-covered/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bemis_Company
The red ribbons are simply old survey markers or where samples were taken... Just because a mine is abandoned doesn't mean that it doesn't get visits from geologists if it looks as if it could be in a promising location.
How come you don’t use masks in dusty? At least I haven’t seen you’ll use them very often? Be safe and not sorry. Like your video’s. I here another voice I recognize. Split bolt down by the broom. Don’t see any where else, very odd. How levels was in the mine from your point of view? Gold? Thanks!!!
Justin - that newspaper is profound! September, 1939. The month WW II began. I think about everything that has happened in the world outside since then. Down there, nothing but endless darkness and silence, and the occasional mine explorer ...
That time capsule feeling is one of the elements of mine exploring that fascinates me.
@@TVRExploring : I heard something to the effect that all gold mines in the US were shut down in 1941 after pearl harbor.
Bloody hell mate, excellent explore.
Man, that ladder at 27:00 looks damn near brand new. It's amazing how well some of the stuff is preserved in some of these dry mines.
That's a huge advantage of the dry mines!

The extra footage for the rope setup is really helpful, thanks! Good to see gear components in use! :-)
Thanks. Yes, I think it is interesting to see how everything is set up...

What’s the most valuable item you’ve found while exploring these old mines?
That was oddly satisfying!
I'm glad you found it to be satisfying. It was particularly so for us as we hate unfinished business in exploring!

Hey Justin, have any idea how old the red survey marker tapes are ? Would it be actively considered to re-work right now ?
4:32 Not the left first! Right hand rule!!
I'd be curious like others have asked, could you hazard a guess on that red tape? Purpose and when it was put there?

Sears catalog?
Next time Jeremy will hold the phone in landscape mode as he should.
LOL, still some great stuff!
Still very well filmed though but yh landscape mode would of been better
Jeremy looks right at home with the rope gear, is he a climber out in the world?
If you could show why there is safety tape on your journey, Was there other geoloies in that mine?
The ribbons are just survey markers or where samples were taken. They're not uncommon in abandoned mines that modern mining companies might be interested in because they're in a good location. These old mines that are visited by the geologists are rarely brought back into production though.
The "Cats out of the bag" the trademark on the burlap sack was a cat getting out of the bag.
Whats ironix is that I just used that expression today.
Our elder's used burlap sacks and rocks for kitten population control. Toss them in the creek. I guess that is a felony today.
What type of car was in the shaft?
A skip car for hauling ore and waste rock out.
It’s amazing how much history is left underground and - in the case of these drier mines - stays in such good condition.
Awesome explore man!
Also, what was that funk hanging off the ribs in the section Jeremy checked out?
Good times!
Yes, that was a fun trip!
that was good
BTW, there are many people in the caving community well trained and equipped for ropework. They just aren't interested in mines.
22:20 “G.I.Joe!” #UMMazing memory!
How do they make the floors in mines so flat in mines
Need to make a camera rig you can tie a rope to for sending down those shafts before scaling them
What are the fuzzy red sparklers at 28:15 ? Regards from Ody Slim
The very bottom level he was exploring looked like turned into a placer mine, anyone else notice that it looked like ancient riverbed?
Pretty sure that was just a basalt layer they punched through.
In Jeremy's video, at 24:50, are those the roots of a plant, or are they some sort of wierd mineralization?
I noticed that as well and I assume they must be some weird mineralization because that was a couple of hundred feet down and there wasn't much vegetation on the surface to speak of...
