Great video, quite extensive workings toward the end. The black graffiti was made with carbide miner's lamps. In the 80s, we city boys used to explore storm drain tunnels, so Granddad gave me his old miner's lamp which I cleaned up and restored to function. For carbide I bought several tubes of bangsite at a fireworks stand one july. This was very finely granulated, I think the stuff made for miner's lamps was coarser granules. Looked like red rock in a couple of places, probably high grade cinnabar or mercury ore.
Love your adventures in these mines, but with all the tunnels in a mine like this, how do you keep track of which way is out? You must have a great sense of direction!!
A rare glimpse of the man himself. What a treat. Often wondered and never completely knew. The voice suits the man though. Always remember, "be safe".
Amazed at the amount of work just digging those tunnels, not counting getting the ore out and processing.
Grane exploration many kind words for sharing.
Thanks.
That was a working mine...
Thx...be safe.

More more we want more!
I’ve explored a few mines in Nevada but nothing as big as this one.
For handsfree you could use a GoPro style mount on your helmet, but that only works with GoPros, Insta 360s, sadly not camera phones.
A lot of hard rock mining in the desert and throughout the mountains of the United States
I wonder what type of respatory problems you mite face later on breathing the air down in these mines. 🤔 Rats, Bats, mold, and more. Be careful.
Agree strongly, hanta virus is nasty.
