    I have a cave for you guys to explore! Never been deep in it but i met an old man one day when i was about to go in and he seen me and asked if i was gonna explore it and i told him yeah but not far in! He replied and said he has explored it and never found the end he said there is about a 200 ft drop with a water fall and said he has been close to 2 miles in it! Said there is alot of water deeper in the cave! If you guys would like to explore it just give me a shout! Its located in Lee county Virginia, Lee is the south western most county of Virginia! Also this cave is maybe around 10 miles from unthanks cave in Virginia with 2 species of hydrobiid snails! Super rare snails and you might have a chance of finding them in this cave also, not sure in that but a huge possibility!

      @@JS-kb4bk they don’t need the weight for that, just a stopwatch to time the fall.
      height (ft) = g X T(squared) X 0.5
      g = 32.2
      T = number of seconds it fell
      So at 17:56 for example it fell for about 2.3 seconds, so that pit was about 85 feet deep.

    Hello, mineralogist and experienced caver here! The headlamp going out at 4:05 wasn't something in the air, or an "EMP wave" as you jokingly suggested. The most likely cause was a phenomenon known as a "netherwisp" that was likely emitted from the Dark God that presides over this cave as a warning to not plunder its precious cave pearls. Thank you for the video, and for showing respect to the ancient void being(s) of the shadowy depths!

    The crystals were amazing and definitely worth the trip. I had not heard of MOON MILK so I had to look it up.
    Moonmilk is a textural term for a very fine, white cave material that absorbs a lot of water. Wet moonmilk looks and feels soft and pasty, somewhat like white cream cheese, when rubbed between the fingers. Dry moonmilk resembles talcum or chalk powder, in that it feels hard and crumbly.
    Yellow crystals are associated with personal empowerment and self-confidence. They are believed to boost self-esteem and help individuals overcome self-doubt. I think y’all’s self confidence is just fine. Great cave guys. Thanks for sharing.
