- This was a great mine, but such a sketchy one! I found a petrified forest down here. Such a rare treat! Come along with me while we explore deep into the Earth's underbelly!
DISCLAIMER: Stay Out & Stay Alive!! As you can see from this video, abandoned mines are treacherous. I've worked with the Pa. DEP/Pa. Game Commission (civilian non-employee reporting dangerous mines) over the last 10 plus years to bat gate mines, backfill open vertical shafts that were threats to people & animals, etc.
STAY OUT & STAY ALIVE! I NO LONGER ACTIVELY EXPLORE ABANDONED ANTHRACITE COAL MINES. I HAVE NEARLY 2 DECADES OF EXPERIENCE AND AM TRAINED, HAVE OXYGEN, FLAME SAFETY LAMPS, MAPS, MEDICAL TRAINING FROM THE MILITARY, ETC. YOU CAN EASILY GET HURT OR KILLED IN OLD MINES! Black damp can kill you in mere moments & it is something you cannot smell or see, without training & proper equipment, you will succumb to this. No locations will be given or discussed anywhere on my channel; I will delete them if comments as such arise. I always carried a closed-circuit oxygen self-rescuing apparatus that miners carry. I always a had a ridiculous number of batteries & multiples of flashlights themselves, glow sticks, hard hat, tourniquet, maps of the specific mine, a safety party on standby should I not come out at a predetermined time, etc. I kept my explorations as professional as one possibly could. I also had an extensive knowledge as to how & why miners did what they did underground. I knew what could possibly happen to the roof/walls before it happened in a sense. My geology knowledge was something I worked hard at & most people could miss what I often saw thus resulting in collapses, etc. SO PLEASE STAY OUT & STAY ALIVE!

This mine was a cool one for sure. With this said however, please read my full disclaimer in the description section. Please remember to STAY OUT & STAY ALIVE. Do not enter abandoned mines.
Now that's a beautiful old mine bro but as you said very sketchy n man that's a scary place in some ways
@@ritchieblackmore2711 yeah this mine is kind of a hell hole as my one friend called it. Lol. Thanks for watching buddy.
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories was a brilliant video loved that very much and your very welcome bro take care...
@@ritchieblackmore2711 👍thank you and you too sir.
Pillar section of the mine is very interesting!!!!!!!!!! i worked in pillar section for 10 years we had machines that could move fast!!! i would be very interesting pulling pillars by hand!!!!!!!!
Oh hell ya it would be interesting. Those machines you operated are cool too. Hardcore stuff man. My next video is a feature length old school Bituminous Colliery one my friend (edited it especially for you)...maybe in a couple of days I'll upload it.
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@AnthraciteHorrorStories
Hi bro you know what I do love about this is that you take your time to show things and explain stuff while other channels let's say just blast through it and it's nowhere near as good as you on this...well done
Thanks man! Yeah, I tried to not rush. For me it's not fun, it becomes stressful and it also becomes very dangerous when you're running around underground. A normal trip was anywhere from 8 to 12 hours underground! My crazy friends do mines in an hour or two. Lunatics!
This looks like an awesome mine to fossil hunt. Nice artifacts you found, especially that tag and the air hoses for drills.
👍 endless fossils down in this one. Like a forest.
Ooooh,glad it's you,not me,in this gem😊
You are one crazy SOB! after seeing the condition of the rock right above the shaft you used for entry into the mine, there's no way in hell I would go in there! Although the petrified tree stumps would certainly tempt me to go in, and try to pull one out but I would need a bunch of guys and a cart with all terrain air filled rubber wheels to get one out. it would be a lot of work, I know. if it was possible at all. But having a massive trunk of a fossilized tree in my front yard would be so flippin' cool!
Hell ya man! I know what you mean. It just looks worse than it really is. Hahaha. Thanks for watching though. There will be more videos on here for sure.
That ore car tag! Such a good find! Makes me think about what man was number 30? What was his story? What country was he from? Family, etc etc So rad.
Ikr. Cool stuff. That tag was MINT too! No rust or anything.
very cool buddy, i can tell you are super stoked about this kind of info, which gets me into it too
Thank you. Ya, after 19 years of this I still get excited. Hahaha. Appreciate it. 👍
Is that a lead id tag? #30
Galvanized metal or just straight up steel. Looked like it was pressed/manufactured yesterday. Was a gem.
That ceiling rock is incredibly heavy. When it collapses it seems to do it in giant SLABS. Lights out immediately.
Instant DEATH.
Let's hope that doesn't happen...
Well done
Thank you.
That egg hatched a demon flying cave bat😮🎉🎉
Tommy knocker fetus from hell. It must have escaped up the air shaft and out of the mine lol
This is so fascinating to me, what measures are taken to be sure you don’t get disoriented or lost in the mine, how many extra lights do you carry? I have so many questions…..what are the survey point? Is it something to let them know where they were underground in reference to the location outside of the mine? Please excuse my ignorance, it’s just very interesting to me, are the mines just sort of stumbled upon or are there maps or some sort of information as to where they were? Trust me, I have no interest whatsoever to enter one, just curious, thanks fo another great video and hope to hear back!!
No problem. I get it, it's overwhelming to those that haven't done this. Survey points are just like the surface survey points when you get your property surveyed, etc. Yes, it let them know where they were in relation to the surface for a variety of reasons (mineral rights, etc.). I just don't get lost underground because I was good at navigating. We'd chalk arrows too in complex mines. This one was a straightforward one. For lights I'd have a ThruNite series main light with 9 extra lithium batteries, an extra ThruNite light with 2 more lithium batteries, a big LED back up light, a light with more batteries for filming, 2 chem sticks rated for over 24 hrs of green light (for emergency), a cell phone fully charged for emergency flashlight mode also, etc. My flame lamp would give off light too. Never enough lights.
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories thank you, I appreciate the response…..until I have another fifty questions 😆
@@JOECorsoNova ask anytime.
Will the wood that's been left there be like the petrified wood in the rock eventually in a few million years? Probably
It'll probably rot tbh. To petrify things, they have to be under immense pressure and there has to be a complete voidage of oxygen. There is a lot of oddball wood though in these mines. I've come across wood from the 1800s that's completely pristine and these anthracite mines have high humidity conditions. They should be mush. You never know though. Some of the wood will last many, many, many hundreds of years...or more.
That's a good question though.
LSMFT tasty
Say again? Lol. What's that abbreviation?
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories lol lucky strikes mean fine tobacco. They were strong!! 👻 Every brand had a catchy jingle. Ex all the way up to Kool or Winston's taste good like a cigarette should. TV commercials.
@@davestrang8585 You're right, I should know the LSMFT lol! I bought six packs last year, they just came back out recently. They are extremely strong, even with the filters!
@@davestrang8585 I'm not going to lie.. It feels like it's burning your chest inside.
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories i liked menthol but I used the nicotine gum to quit. I still get urges uhhhh
