The Hole to Hell
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2024
- With the overgrowth of vegetation and privet, Mr Tropics 64 and I decide to take a break from the prior months of coal searching to get back to some iron ore mine searching. Traversing the shallow workings above ground where the mining took place, we stumble across a subsidence or hole that has opened up inside one of the headers of this slope mine. Not knowing if it would lead to the inner workings of this pretty large mine, we decide to go inside to investigate and explore to see. Once inside, we navigate through some pretty sketchy areas, eventually making our way to main portions of the mine. This is a classic room and pillar mine meaning they used a system of taking out the iron ore across a horizontal plane, which would create an arrangement of rooms where the remaining pillars would support the roof. The mine open in the 1890s and was exhausted and shuttered in the 1920s, so there is no roof bolting to help prevent roof falls. You will notice through this video that there is very rock fall, and that was mainly due to sandstone and shale overlaying the ore seams, where the sandstone would provide the strength, and the shale would help the water from penetrating and weakening the roof, or top as we refer to it on occasions. This was a fun film for me, and it ranks near the top as far as being satisfied with the finished product. As always, I have my right hand man Mr Tropics with me, so go show his channel some love and subscribe to him. Thank you all for the support, and check us out on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. We look forward to bringing you another video in the next few days.

I Try to explain to my son that youth and health are a limited quantity for each of us. And it should be enjoyed and used as much as possible. Sitting on social media is for when you've run out of all other abilities.
Not all abilities.???
Cool. Thanks for explaining about the moonshiners.
you're welcome :)
The sheer number of collapses in this mine absolutely deters any interest that I would have in exploring that place. I'm glad that I have you canaries to provide me with this experience, 'cause I would've turned around at the sight of the buried tracks "Nope, I don't want to end up like them..."
🤣👍
Very cool, as a native Birmingham resident I'm loving this channel.
Josh and Mr Tropics tyvm for another amazing breathtaking adventure ... Take care guys
Thank you as always Jose 😀
You couldn't get me in there for a million dollars just watching you come through that little hole at the beginning it looks like it's ready to cave in I don't know guys I think you're nuts.
Great video! Interesting the wide gauge trackage in the mine. Would love to see more artifacts.
glad you enjoyed it Kyle. I'll show more of that in future videos for sure.
This is awesome guys !! I love exploring mines also but unfortunately haven’t been able to find anyone else that wants to go so I’ve been living threw your awesome videos !! Keep up the great videos
Thank you so much, I did them solo for years until I came across Jeff and mr tropics.
Excellent place to investigate!
Love your videos!
You have to map out the whole mine and then sell it to companies that make computer games.
It saves them a lot of time and investment.
good luck!.
imagine how cool it would be to play a game based off something you explored. I'd have home field advantage lol
@@UndergroundBirmingham lol !
I never cease to be amazed when left to contemplate the standing monuments left in time by men from long ago now gone…
Wild 🔥 thanks for sharing ✨
Thank you so much for watching
A mine that scale with no electricity. Brutal. Helluva find. Man y'all need to invest in some knee pads. Anyways I live vicariously through you so I appreciate the videos.
Knee pads would be a good idea for sure. Glad you enjoy them🙂
Burlap on the shins and the smell of carbide cooking off......yay!
@@jgordon5408 Man these miners didn't even have carbide lamps back then ... they were using kerosene lamp oil. But I get the gist of your comment. A hard life back then.
Top 👍⚒️ realy good video
I wonder what all the ore from this mine was used for?. Assuming it went to be used in Ford cars etc then I wonder from the years of recycling then how much of all that original metal is still around like how many generations of Ford cars that same metal was used for?.
Thanks for the video.
I would hate to try and keep up with Mr Tropics.
looks like a colapsed structure lots of uniformity
Coolest caving channel
Horrible hobby we have lol beautiful finds buddy!!
The bucket you found is a miner lunch bucket , you can tell by the top
when you go into the mines the first thing they teach you is NEVER smoke in a mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We don’t like rules
@@UndergroundBirmingham if you were smoking and walked into to a pocket of methane, it would BLOW your fucking head off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank Yous! 🌹😍😍😍😁
🥰🙏
Another winner!!!
So what’s the point of all that work? You pull out red ore and use it for what? It must be super useful to go through all that work to get it?
The red ore gets refined into iron and steel which is used in everything from paper clips to skyscrapers
Got it, thanks
37:37 a pile of bones
So do red rock comes from ore mines
Im new at this and I was curious about respirators. Does anyone have a recommendation? TYIA
New Sponsor Is Marlboro😀
😂😂😂😂😂😂
So the ore mine was on red an ruffner mountain
I figure you have been ask this before, so forgive me I just came across your videos this morning..do you ever find any small traces of gold or silver
🤛😀🤜🏴☠
🥰
Clean up the entry way a little bit...lol
Right lol
Wow mine as red or brown ore
First time seeing something like that.
Is that color of iron
This was a red ore mine, but definitely some brown mixed in
👍👍👍👍👍👍
🙏
Bud Light 😂
What's this place called?
just an old iron ore mine that was deep in the ground. we call it the hell hole, but it had a name of R4
не фига себе вы что курите ?что так ходите?
Awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
30:00 bugs
gypsy watch the channel called UAP, paul cook and jon levi.... you will never look back mate!!!
Anyone else hear what sounded like a female voice and voices speaking over and with them?? I swear...
Pretty sure it was the astral voice projection of someone's wife gripping about the damn laundry you messed up.
33:00 and you bring up ghost hunting... I definitely heard class A EVPs far before this, (I'll try to time stamp it) because y'all must of not heard it audibly as y'all didn't acknowledge it
After going back, re listening with earphones. I think what I heard was possibly in my currently "empty" house... Nice.
Real nice storm here in Texas on my off day. Anyway, as a former audio engineer whose done ITC and Paranormal investigation over 27 years ... I have a pretty good ear for stuff. You def have whispers that aren't water or y'all.
Men definitely died in those mines so EVPs / residuals / active hauntings are totally possible.
They look the same as coal mines
Similar in a way, but much more headroom lol
That the way underground mines are! They are about the same!!!
Really he is smoking
he is, jeff
@@UndergroundBirmingham well all I’m saying is that no matter what mine you go in and the ventilation is still good you could still run into methane gas
@@jn2864 not in an iron ore mine
@@UndergroundBirminghamprobably not but it’s still not something that I would want to risk maybe it’s just me being used to a coal mine
@@jn2864 the men who mined this smoked, blasted, used oil lanterns... Think about it.
