      Yes, I think this one was a little too heavily trafficked to have good artifacts, but the layout was interesting. If there were a way to come up from the bottom of that sporty, second winze, there may have been some good stuff there, but it was way too unstable to try coming in from the top.

    It has been very impressiv when it was in full working.
    The miners in older times did a amazing job .
    There must be a great amount of copper in the mountain.
    All that blue Vitriole is a good sign.
    This modern prospektors damaged the this old history with her Spraypaint and there ribbons .
    Not very good.
    Best wishes and Glück Auf

    One of the best mine explorer channels. I wish you would explain where the ore would be found as you travel through the adits and winze. I know that gold can be found in or near quartz veins and stringers, pyrite and stream bedrock. Gray rock can indicate lead and silver. Green and blue, copper and orange and yellow can be iron or sulfur. You always have great camera work and narration.

      Oh, don't worry, we get to have plenty of fun playing in the freezing, dark water as well in our mines up in the mountains... We've got a couple lined up for this summer that are so deep (I draw the line at swimming in the abandoned mines), that we're bringing in kayaks. I actually lived in the UK for several years, but it was before I was into the mines. I missed out on a lot!

      Bin mir relativ sicher, dass das von anderen Explorern kommt, die sich mit den Markern orientieren. Es gibt ja nicht nur Leute wie ihn, die nur filmen - sondern auch welche die wirklcih dokumentieren, Karten zeichnen und systematisch solche Anlagen aufmessen. Wahrscheinlich arbeiten die auch mit Behörden zusammen, oder sind sogar von den Behörden selbst. Ich mein Tunnel und Stollen werden ja auch regelmäßg überprüft, dass die nicht einstürzen. Je nachdem wie diese Minen und Bergwerke überbaut sind (Häuser, ganze Städte) ist das ja nicht uninteressant da ab und zu Leute reinzuschicken um zu gucken, ob da bald was einstürzt. Wobei ich merk bei den Videos auf diesem Kanal eher, dass die meisten am Arsch der Welt inne Wüste liegen. :)

    • @straybullitt
      @straybullitt Рік тому +3

      The brightly colored paint and ribbons are survey markers from people prospecting these abandoned mines to see if any of them were worth reopening and could possibly be made profitable again using more modern mining technology that may not have been available when the mine was originally worked.

  • @TalRohan
    @TalRohan Рік тому +1

    Do you know how long this mine was worked, it looks labyrinthine. Are there any of these old mines that might come up as workable again. I feel like if you could get permission to work them as a small group you could make a pretty decent living if you know what you are doing.

    The carbide lamp marks are not surviving markers they are sample locations, same holds true for the newer painted marks the length of the paint lines the brackets denotes sample width
    Survey marks are almost always placed in the back and will have some sort of spad or nail to hang a plumb bob or lamp for a back site.
