Mad respect for the miners that worked down there. Insane
Dude, you need to make more videos of historical stuff. These are the best videos bros! Keep up the awesome content fellas! 💯👍
@p!nned by HeavyDSpark not gonna leave this good people alone. Still tryna comment on everyone's comment with your scam huh
@@Vincentart21 what scam
Looks like heavy d comment section got hacked or something. WTH IS GOING ON
That dude deleted his comment but you can still see his name it's pinned in my comment
indubitably
When you see a "broom handle" sticking out of a hole inside a mine, please don't touch it! It's probably a tamping stick. Tamping sticks were non-conductive material (usually wood) used to tamp sticks of dynamite in to a blasting hole. That being said, I really enjoy your content!! I probably never would have found your channel, except that I follow Ghost Town Living. You rock!
would dynamite be able to explode after 100 years of being in a hole with a lot of moisture? genuinely asking.
@@No444F Yeah, sometimes it can explode by complete chance.
@@No444F thats why theyre illegal until under special certification and even then the old ones arent used. Even dropping one has set em off completely unstable aged.
or it was the storige for the anti horny bonk stick for the miners this is a joke
@@No444F that's the beauty of NITRO! Bump or just the ground vibrations from stepping near it, can set it off.
@heavydsparks thanks for showing Brent you don't have to go at it alone, it's a good lesson for all of us. You changed the guys life for the better and it has been fantastic to watch, great-great content.
Absolutely, all have huge Heart’s! Stay safe guys!❤
Thank you so much for turning me onto Brent! I wouldn’t have ever known about him. The MrBeast competition would be bad ass!!!!!
The look on everyone’s faces when they stopped after the breaks went out tells a lot, but the look on HD’s faces showed his concern for his team as he felt the weight of responsibility as the driver. Great video.
bottle, and then your grandmother😾😿🙀
‘Who is there?’🍹🍸🍷🍾🍶🍵☕️
so she was always😐😚😊😂
BRAKES
Oh dear...I nearly had a fainting spell, when those men hung their legs over the hole. Wow...takes a special breed of people to explore mines...incredible footage. So happy your all safe. Good recovery when the brakes went out. Take care now! Granny!
_read legs as lungs. kill me._
Completely insane. You guys eat tough for breakfast. I must say”I am not worthy”. This would be a better world with more men like you and your crew in it. Thank you for the adventure.
Amen To That 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🙋♀️
The legendary crossover returns. Would love to see more together when the occasion presents itself
Seeing you move that huge ore bucket in the mine was impressive on Brent’s channel! I really like GhostTownLiving x HeavyD videos
Agree it was a good dynamic
@@CorruptInfinityOfficialthey have been a great duo sense the first time he came almost a year+ HeavyD is great at being helpful
Guys there’s no way I could go down that elevator just can’t it dosent help I have anal glaucoma which means I just can’t see my a** going down there. 🥺 Give you guys all the props for going down there.
Best combination and location for the best content
HeavyD liked my comment, made my night
Love your adventures, again thanks guys for sharing. All your adventures are so fun, I am 47 and live vicariously through your fun. I would have died from boredom without your fun and exploration! I am disabled and can no longer do these things So Thank you 😊🙏🏼🇺🇸
Thank you so much for your support and friendship to Brent and CG. Loving your adventures together.
It's really interesting seeing it from the operators' point of view as well as we normally just see it from Brent's point of view on his channel. I like seeing some things from different point of views.
Well you seem popular to the bots lol
@@ConnorEtch Unfortunately. No idea why. Thanks for not being one!
In Brent's video he complemented you two as level headed individuals BEFORE you went down. The adrenaline obviously kicked in and some how possessed you two to take up a whole ore cart! That was pretty ballsy dealing with a 100+ year hoist cable. (Tips hat)
@p!nned by HeavyDSpark interesting way to scam people
Looks like heavy D comment section got hacked
@@docholladay7638 no it's the same scammer tryna get people's attention by mentioning HeavyD in his name and same image as his profile picture.. and then he's goin over arguments with me on several comments through different accounts. He's not the brightest and then he's deleting his comments as I'm getting him
@@Vincentart21 explain
@@d.d.h6749 explain what? Click on my first comment I mentioned that person who creates fake accounts to scam people saying it's HeavyD and makes them whatsapp on a number..
You have impressed me with your willingness to reachout and help Brent, many thanks to you and your crew...God bless.
i just rewatched this video again and loved it even more! More Cerro Gordo if possible, i just love watching these mine explorations! Keep it up with the awesome content!
Well boys. I went to work at 18 years old in the coal mines in WV. My first day going to work after getting all of the required certifications, I had to witness a fellow miner Be carried out after being pretty much decapitated. The dangers are much higher than anyone ever wouid imagine. Dangers that you have to worry about outside are completely different underground. Stay safe boys. Always be aware of your surroundings. It’s not something to take lightly. Good content.
My great grandfather was a coal miner and was killed in the mine. He was crushed by a coal car...guys you should have helmets on!
my grandpa was a coal miner and let me just say.. major respect. he has so many health issues that almost all directly relate back to his mining career. my heart goes out to all the people who never made it out of the mines, and it’s a shame that even the miners who didn’t have to pay with their life, many had to pay with their health for the rest of their lives.
thankfully he is still with us, and this reminds me i need to ask him some more stories about his mining days. we’re in western PA btw!
My grandpap worked the mines in Pittsburgh and W.Virginia. (born in 1912) after he and grandma got married. He passed away in 1974 from black lung. He would tell me stories about how bad things were.
I love the way all the guys are with each other. You can see and sometimes feel that they really care about each other. What a wonderful blessing to have.
Stay safe please. PEACE
Respect man. Mining ain't an easy job. It takes a special breed to be a miner. That's one heck of a first day on the job. How long did you mine for? Are you still a miner?
what were you mining?
You’re such an amazing help to Brent and Cerro Gordo! Bringing more awareness to what he’s doing is really going to help a lot!
Thanks~~~~
@@pnnedbyheavydspark3346 keep watch for the poison rocks overhead,,,, just one drop can kill you !
I want to visit.... Spring or Fall, not Summer.
I just started watching you guys and couldn't stop watching your video's. Just the excitement, the thrill of what you guys go through is amazing. God bless you all.
The type of men it took to do all that work! Much respect much respect!!!
when everyone was laughing the brake failure off Heavy D wasn't which shows how serious it was and how much of a fright he got.
Yeah he really is a big wimp at the end of the day
I’ll be honest, I’ve never seen brake fluid boil in a Polaris before. I’ve made some boil in a late model stock car, but never in a 4 wheeler. Good lord.
Yep 900 ft isn’t crazy far but concerned how old that mine is pretty serious stuff and not the safest… and to the comment of a wimp dude idk if you have ever came close to death it really changes things and it a weird feeling and very life changing. I came within inch’s of dying in 2019 iv got 3 places on my brain. Can’t spell for shit had back surgery 3 shoulder surgeries and my right shoulder won’t heal or get better and will be a 3rd surgery one day with a complete replacement just wanna wait as long as I can.. so I wouldn’t call him a wimp for worrying about himself and the crew/team in the cage.
this hurt my brain to read
How serious it was? GMAB! You really think he'd be stuck down for long just because the elevator failed? How many very capable guys does he have working for him? It was either get the elevator going, which was obviously the most likely scenario or they would figure something else out pretty quick.
He said it was built in the 1800’s, in my mind “that means it’s going to work flawlessly”
You'd be surprised with that old construction!
@@Necrodoxious ??
@@maryhumphrey5987 sometimes the old stuff is built better. More material.
@@Necrodoxious are you married
@@maryhumphrey5987 I guess it doesn't work for marriage lol.
Have been hooked on this blog since bounced into it ! Bret hats off to you ! You show us in simple terms what an undertaking is ahead of you . My confidence says this will be done too !
Cerro Gordo series was absolutely awesome! Really cool to see you guys walk into a time capsule and bring all of us along for the journey.
Anytime you handle sticks of dynamite. You have to wear really good leather gloves. Because if ya don’t. It will cause your blood vessels to dilate. Giving you a spinal headache. Which trust me....you definitely don’t want. Also some blasting caps can be set off by static electricity alone. So I would definitely do some research on how old it is and what kind it’s is. Before messing with any of the explosives down there. If I had to guess. I would guess that it’s probably harmless as old as it is. But I would definitely check first lol 🤙🏽
Ice cream will take care of the headache, believe it or not!
For those who don't understand.
Dynamite is nitroglycerin "stabilized" by mixing it with diatomaceous earth. That works quite well until it starts oozing out of the dynamite. Then it's just as touchy as nitro is reputed to be.
In the early days of rail, a crate was "lost" at a station's cargo area-no bill of lading, no mfgr marks, leaking an oily substance. The station manager decided to find out what was in the crate by opening it with a crowbar.
The explosion destroyed the station and did significant damage to surrounding structures.
Excellent comment. We are bioelectrical beings. We can store a great deal of energy in our cells. That can be discharged with a simple touch.
@Zutronic com Project Veritas has a record of twisting the facts and partial reporting to suit their needs. That is, if they aren't outright lying.
@@EdwinWiles the same shit that is uused in pool filters??? i never knew that! i did pools for 20 years and hated cleaning DE filters! and i imagine there was quite a mess where the man once stood??
Dave Sparks you are an awesome beast! 👍 Love that you all are helping out at Cerro Gordo. Watching you on top of that hoist was wild!!! Great collaboration. Hoping to continue to watch your collaboration and bond with Brent grow ! Great people making great videos!! Volunteering at Cerro Gordo is on my bucket list and these videos create even more excitement! Thanks guys!!!
I was so surprised and happy to find this episode! I watched Brent go down to the 900 on his channel the first time, and then seeing this was an awesome treat! Thumb up and shared.
You guys rock. Refreshing to watch real adventures. Thank you.
I've moved alot of dirt in my life and I've always been fascinated with how the old timers did it back in the day. Especially in mine shafts.
And ready to mingle. Do you need me to send money or go get a bunch of gift cards??
@@coltonburge1450 gift card. you have to get gift card and send me the numbers.
@Mary Humphrey because i guarantee you are a little weirdo dude from India or Nigeria on RUclips "of all places" trying to catfish a sucker. You looking for someone to scam. Lol get a life.
@@coltonburge1450 😂😂
That is just sick! Absolutely love this series! Keep them coming! Brent and you guys make an incredible team
Such an awesome series, the mining adventures are epic
I think it's amazing how all of you are staying so humble and grounded and giving back to people y'all are awesome
Watching this made me feel a bit claustrophobic and i dont consider myself to be one. You have to have lots of respect for all those miners that use to work underground and still do. This was a very cool video to watch. Great job to you and your team ,
BEST TIMING EVER
I literally just finished your other series in cerro Gordo and was thinking it would be amazing to see you go back there!!!
@P!nned by heavydspark why don't you get a life and not scam people
@@Vincentart21 report the imposter - i'm so sick of this crap, they do it on all the channels i like. china scammers is what they are
Watching you guys go down the Cerro Gordo mine shafts stress me the hell out!! I’m so claustrophobic I could never do it-you and Diesel Dave are fearless. 💪🏻
Following both channels. Great to see the team work and common passion for the mines .
You guys have been awesome helping Brent out and restoring Cerro Gordo! Also, fantastic cinematography that really gave a sense of the history of that place!
Brett has the life. Especially the crazier stuff gets in this country. Middle of no where alone or only with the people he chooses to be around.
thats a pretty loaded statement "especially the crazier stuff gets in this country" act like it hasnt been this batshit crazy all along ya dang nostalgia parasite
@Rita 25 y.o - check my vidéó what the hell you talking about? I like your avatar! 😁
@@danzdoinz8000 I bet you do
Except lead is a toxic substance that if inhaled WILL cause cancer. Brett will probably have Cancer by 60 if he doesn't have damaged cells already.
He does just throwin out he is in the most Communistic state in the USA California.
I'm in awe every time I see some of these old workings when I think of the shear ingenuity that the old timers put into accomplishing these gargantuan labor intensive projects. To think just the act of cutting the support timbers used was done mainly with hand saws. Never mind having to pack everything to the mine site then down into the mine and then having to haul the ore out and all of this was done for silver. When weighed against the amount of time and energy it took to pull it from the ground you got to wonder some times are we crazy. There had to be some pretty horrific injuries and I'm sure people died down there too. So my hats off to those rough and tumble men from our past because they where some bad ass mofos.
cave ins aint no joke....i lost a good friend due to a cave in 2020 while i watched helplessly.......please guys please safe......shalom
@@chiphill9906 Man that would suck big time. I feel for you.
@@iamjackalope Just to let you know, before some jackass comes along in three years or so, “oar” is what you use on a boat, “ore” is a category of material typically found underground.
@@ironbackplays7861 Oh yea. I guess your right about that. Oar or Ore. I suppose I could correct it.
Done.
I'm so glad you guys made it back up top. Now, I'm excited to see what you plan on doing with that mining cart, you wanted so bad.
Dudes, you guys rock. Love how you never take yourselves too serious yet never go too overboard with the fun. Keep it up
Yeah let’s go Mr Beast it’s time to take on your own challenge against the Diesel Bros!! I think you guys should do teams with a few fan teams all against each other!!
Lots of imposter channels getting around giving out fake watsapp numbers. Just saying.
Imposter confirmed.
@p!nned by HeavyDspark someone report this guy I can't copy the url on my phone to report who he is impersonating.
i would love you guys to come here in the uk and explore the mines here, that will be a challenge for you lol, great work guys im new to your channel but been hooked ive spent the last 7 hours binge watching your content fascinating stuff
I absolutely love these videos!!! So glad I found them!!
Love these videos. Its amazing what you guys have done to help Brent! The world needs that right now.
The production quality and content is next level, amazing work.
Legitimately the best content I have seen on RUclips since its inception. Keep doing you!
So glad to hear the pieces will go to a museum! What an amazing ride thru history!!! What a challenge to Mr. Beast! I'm ready to see that one!
The diesel bros and Brent have one of the best relationships
Amazing adventure! Yall have me hooked on this mine now. Just binge watched all of the Cerro Gordo videos. I love what he is trying to do and how yall help him with accomplishing his goals.
#fanforlife
It’s just incredible, you guys do some of the coolest stuff. I love your guys RUclips just like Matt’s off-road recovery. I hope one day I can work very hard and do stuff like that even maybe with you guys sometime. Keep up the great work, hope you guys had a great thanksgiving. Thanks guys
Dude I throughly enjoy this series!! Everything about this video is so cool, the cinematic shots and soundtrack was epic!! Man I’d love to do what you do!! Please keep up the good work and producing sick content!!
I can't wait to watch this I totally found you because of your support of Brett thanks a lot for everything and I look forward to your future videos
Love that you brought Brent a good truck to use, he'd needed one for awhile :D Glad you guys made it all in one piece afterwards, can't imagine how scary that would be. Running out of breaks, I guess it was scary af seeing you were shooked to the bone. Stay safe guys!

Hello from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 much love guys keep it up great job great team always watch your show I love all of them 💪🏼 such an amazing help to Brent and Cerro Gordo!
I love these vids with Brent, I'm a big cerra gordo fan and watching you help him out is fantastic. Well done lads!
Kudos to your videographer for stunning footage and excellent editing. 🎥 Great scary as hell 😱 video with Brent deep inside the Cerro Gordo Mine 🧨 - 900 feet deep 👇🏽to be exact. You guys rock 🎆 for surprising Brent with the 🚛5 ton. Outstanding! 🤩👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I saw that video when you guys helped Brent and what respect I have for you all...now I found your channel...my dream all my life is to go live in the mountains and a ghost town .thank you for taking me to see my dream..God Bless all you kids...❤️🙏🕯️❤️🙏🕯️❤️🙏🕯️..keeping you all in my prayers...and to see good people in this world.....there is hope for mankind......

I like these historical videos! It really nice to see you guys help Brent out at Ghost Town Living with an awesome truck!
The cinematography and editing of these videos are just outstanding.
That was pretty cool.I would love to see more of these. Great video guys.
I’ve been rewatching all Brent’s videos and sitting through the ads to jack up revenue. I’m still only about halfway through but I’m getting there. Thank you for finally convincing him to do it. Y’all are a bunch of modern day heroes.
4” grinder and a flap disk would be my tool of choice in the slow spots.
Fook yeah it would be.
My ol man started watching this and I'm hooked yall ROCK!!!!!
I was anxious, nervous, and scared all in one video. Loved it
New drinking game: Every time HD says "guys" take a sip.
Epic work lads and it's so cool you are helping bring Cerro Gordo back to life. That old trick is a much needed addition to Brent's life up in the mountains.
I first started watching Bret's Ghost Town Living RUclips channel and saw you guys show up with the concrete trucks. That was pretty awesome of you to help out.
Then I watched this video of yours...crazy dudes! Nice job on your video too. Thanks
One of the absolute coolest videos I have ever seen on RUclips. Living in Alabama we don’t have mines like this around here. I would give my left testicle to have been down there with you guys!!! That was amazing, keep posting!!
Your adventures have become addictive! Love that you have helped Brent at Cerro Gordo. Maybe we'll see the American Hotel rise from the ashes yet.
I love your Cerro Gordo videos as well as Brent's. Would love to see more as you make a great team together.
Jim sitting on the edge makes me nervous and gives me the chills.
I just enjoy each of your moments doing what you love do with great courage, that's awesomeness keep pushing you deserve every moment of what you're doing.
I follow Brant since he started his journey last year .. it was amazing to see this guy buy a piece of land in the middle of nowhere and be passionate about it. I never saw the elevator going down from that angle .. it is open from the sides and there is space enough for someone to fall down .. that is scary! I was so excited for you all to go down there because Brent never did much down .. just explored it quickly .. so this was so exciting for him as well :)
U definitely haven't seen every video Brent did then he looked at the 900 two but ok
hey man, great team, you are doing a great job, and thank you for presenting it to us in a pleasant way 😎😍👍👍
I ❤️be
Absolutely loving these historical videos quality content heavy d and the crew 👏 👌🏻 🙌
Only 10 minutes in when I realized how deep they’re going. To put how far down they are going into perspective for those that are curious, they are going down 3 football fields…. This is awesome. Great content guys!
I love how the fun meter is in the background while Dave's talking about how the brakes failed 😂
At what point? I never saw it.

These guys really make a massive mark on cerro gordo, I hope mr beast shows up. Thank you for your tremendous generosity.
Y'all are crazy! I would love to do stuff like this, but I don't think it's handicap accessible. It's great to watch though! The thought of being 900 feet underground make's my stomach flip and my heart slam around in my chest. Keep up the fantastic work! I'll be praying for your safety 🌟🌟🌟🌟
love this collab :) u guys need a series in Cerro Gordo we can see u enjoyed this very much, so did we :)
Glad there’s still great people out there that just helps history!
This is odd for me! Normally I don't watch any construction, mining, or 'manly men doing manly things' kind of stuff, but I really enjoy this channel. You're kind, generous, a great speaker, and a very interesting person (and the music used for these videos are NOT what I was expecting- it's much better). You like helping people and I don't get bored watching you- keep up the good work!
The first time I saw Heavy D was while I was watching Ceredo Gordo mine video. I then clicked on the link to your videos and I was hooked. Subscribed immediately and now I watch daily by going from your most recent to the next one I haven't seen.

Standing on the roof will make it more likely to jam. It moves the centre of gravity up, relative to the cable attachment point, thereby making the cage more likely to twist and tilt over..
Pretty sure the extra weight in the elevator counteracted that.
@@johnn3542 Yes that's a good point, and if I'd been on top of that cage, causing a slight shift in the COG would've been the least of my worries. I'd have been far more concerned about loose debris falling down the shaft. If something falls 700 ft it's going to be moving at almost 150 mph. Event a small rock at that speed could kill you,. Considering that it was a bit silly that none of them were wearing safety helmets.
@@keithrushforth4019 thanks OSHA
@@keithrushforth4019 they had just went down it. I would assume they would know more about the mine shaft condition than the internet. Seemed like the biggest concern was the lift getting stuck like it always does.
