    That was very interesting... You were the first ones to put eyes on that landscape hidden under the water in a very long time! I was amazed at how clear the water was. There are many flooded mines in the mountains of California, but the water is almost always muddy or, at best, murky.

      Have you seen the videos of the BlueJay mine in Washington state? A group of elite cave divers called the "Frog Kick Diving Team" explored the flooded winze. Highly suggest searching for them if you haven't seen them. Love your vids BTW, might have never seen the inside of a Placer mine if not for you!

      Yes, I have seen that. Diving in the flooded abandoned mines is next level! Thank you for the kind words... Yes, when I first started out mine exploring, I had no idea how unique our ancient river channels and the underground mines to tap them were. @@analogdriven

    What a great view.
    It looks like the timber is once thrown in the shaft by visitors a long time ago when the wood is still there and not now rotten away .
    Sorroly it is there for blocked.
    Thank you for your effords to bring this Video to us
    Take care have a good weekend

    @johnsmart964 2 года назад +7

    Thank you very much for this excellent video presentation, the ROV is a great machine, even though the level was closed off due to the timbers precluding the exploration of the level, even seeing the items as the machine descended was of interest in itself. It is always a delight to see the items left within the mine from the machinery and other items, to the personal items, such as the pipe.

    Have a look in the instructions there should be a section on how to recalibrate the gyros this is normally done by pulling both sticks on the remote down then out while the rov is powered on
    If not place on a flat perfectly level surface and switch on allow the esc to boot up (play its little tune) then switch off repeat a few times this should allow the gyros to reorganise themselves to what is horizontal and what is vertical
    The rov operates the same as a flying drone and it has all the same components just sealed in a water tight container 😁👍

    Probably out of your normal range of exploration, but there is a wonderful series of mines open and flooded depending on level in Minnesota/usa underneath an old Ford motor plant. It only dates to the middle 1900's but an extensive series of mines along the Mississippi river in St.Paul Minnesota used by the plant to both mine sand to make the windscreens, and also to store parts, cars, do other manufactory, and offload parts and cars into barges on the river directly from the mines. There are elevator shafts big enough for cars to be moved going between different levels, some open and some flooded now because they are below river level and the pumps haven't been running in decades.

    First time viewer, the algorithm brought me. The idea of going in a dark, wet cave gives me shivers so not the normal content I'd go for :) . Got to say a fantastic video and having the dialogue between the guy in orange and the camera operator is brilliant, asking questions we the audience want to ask and the responses shown a brilliant familiarity of the guy in orange with the stuff in the cave. Subscribed & liked, hoping for more of the same! :)

  • @aaronk534

    Ok. That was a huge plank. 1st, how did they get it to the shaft, then how did they feed it into the hole? Its a 40ft plank. Howd they stand it up in the mine? Great find guys. Thank you

    • @carlwest859

      > The long planks were part of the guide system to keep the lift from swinging. Short planks were spliced together with tapered joints.

    Sorry but the blockage in the winze is my fault as I used it for tipping from my abortive dig when i ran out of space.
    For everyones benefit, the mine was reaccessed back in 2005 by me and others of the Welsh Mines Society. There is a note about this on the way in, at the bottom of the ladders, for some reason not shown in the video, I wonder why.
    At the crossroads, left coming in was blocked and we decided to try and dig it. Our spoil accounts for the packwall you now see there. I was working with "DS" and "PS" who you will know Ioan. Anyway, they both lost heart and I carried on. Running out of room to tip I carried on by tipping into the winze. This accounts for the blockage, sorry.
    The bowsaw is of course mine, thought you would realise this? I also lost a good chisel down there!
    It is however, truly fascinating to see down there. Full marks on your ROV, please keep it up.
    A note about the burried kibble. It is square and of timber construction and when originally seen was clear of debris. Since then stuff has moved and completely burried it. It would be worth digging out.
    I wonder about these, the 2 in the difficult tight side passage may well date back to Bushell's days. I moved it to its present position as it was becoming buried under rock. I dont like touching artifacts never mind moving them so a difficult decision.
    Just one more thing. Water resurges up through the floor at the cross roads. This could be down to a backfilled stope, or false floor.
    I think maybe that if I had not called time on my digging back in 2008 I would not be here typing this!
