please tell me you bought this property or something, sorry if it came up in an earlier video, I am new to your channel. But I am pretty sure that there is illegal if it isn't your property or you don't have a permit.
Visited No13 on the 4th of July this year.. literally the coolest place in three counties.. Quite the treat for a July in Alabama. Thanks for your videos.
Was totally impressed and amazed with how that wall barricade was heavily reinforced and built ! Goes to show the kind of quality workmanship that went into projects way back in the day. The person in charge of sealing that mine slept well at night knowing no one was going to get into it.... until now..... Lol. 👍👍
Judging how hard that concrete was.. I don't think it's been sealed up like that that long. Old concrete in the south tends to be soft, sorta mushy almost.
Imagine the sound of the breaker pounding on the concrete, echoing through the passages of the mine. Like waking up the past, telling it you're coming.
Oh man, they really had that portal sealed up tight! Your excavator man is a real surgeon with that hammer. I'll be looking forward to underground video at this one!
This is awesome ... just want to give you guys props for getting all that equipment out there and making this happen .... there is no better people that care and understand the history of these locations than this channel.
@@UndergroundBirmingham Can't believe you guys got permission from U.S. Steel to do this. ... did they make you sign a waiver??? Also ... I noticed there were two different types of cement ... the dates looked like the original portion of the encasement while the big slab on the front appeared to be a newer type of cement plus rebar??? Well ... don't hesitate to correct me ... just seems it was sealed twice???
Reading through the comments it seems nobody knows the steel in this video is called railroad track. It's not a line or a tie... it's the track itself.
Railroad ties are made out of wood and are used to support the rail. Those are pieces of rail embedded in the concrete. So cool that you were able to strip the concrete off the area above the portal where the numbers and arch details were! Can't wait to see what's inside!
I started my caving activities decades ago in N. Ga. abandoned mines and moved on to caves and man-made tunnels in the TAG area. This opening is fascinating to me and also you have just opened some more prime bat habitat if managed carefully.
Evening guys, I’m from the U.K., and all for mine exploring. Though, recently some guys using a disc cutter on a very similar mine seal wall caused a methane explosion, it completely blew the 20 tonne concrete wall over, lucky no one was killed, that was methane gas Then going down you should consider the heavier than air gasses? I’m watching in, stay safe
Hey bud, this is an iron ore mine, ventilated by other mines. Air quality in this one is great, no gases, but the rotten timers could displace some oxygen, we thankfully have never had our meters go off. Do you have any videos exploring them? If so I’m subscribing
@@UndergroundBirmingham I’m very glad you put that. I hope you don’t think I was moaning, it’s just some folks are unaware of the dangers I’ve never put videos on UA-cam, I have a heap of photos though, and ours are mainly coal I’ve already subscribed to your channel after on,y finding it tonight 😂
Sir, a few months ago I explored this mine through an caved in entrance. I had equipment with me. A slot light. A few bottles of water. And a knife if need be. I recorded my entire explorative trip. I was on the opposite side of the mountain on which you dug that NO-13 out. The mine went extremely deep. At the time I didn’t know too much of its history. Today I do. I wasn’t aware it went two miles deep. About an hour into walking further and further down it gets to the point every direction you look is another path way. Just stone pillars holding it all up. Wood rotted away. Railways remaining. Collapsed stone and some paths collapsed. It was by far the most dangerous explorative abandoned place I’ve did in my life. You can even see water coming from the walls in some areas. If you are interested. I can send you everything I have recorded when I went down. I don’t have any real use of it. I do it for a gig but it seems you do this for a living.
@@zesshi6154 yes, a sink hole formed from a collapsed Tunnel from that mine. Not an official entrance. Just a way to get in because the grown collapsed
That was some impressive wall to close up this old mine. You must have got the "go ahead" to dismantle that "opening" from "higher ups", or bought this land to do so. I'm glad that your crew left the signage. I'll be following your progress. Very interesting "approach" to do an "explore".
Were dig you find a excavator op with such a soft touch,he clearly knows how to save hstory. Be neat to turn this into part of a tour of the underground history of the local area.
I'm curious as to the number of hoops it's necessary to jump through to do this as I have one near me that I have thought about . It was a good producer in it's day and closed when gold became illegal to posses .
Man that was like breaking through Lincoln's tomb. The guy with excavator really knows what he's doing. Is this on private property? Anyway excellent video keep them coming
So like it costing a lot of money to open this. After you get done opening it are you going to close it back up? They put cement there to close it up for a reason.
we obtained permission from US Steel, MSHA, the mineral rights owner and property owner to open it. It is open for education purposes, not to mine again.
LOL, when i read the title of your channel and saw the video title i thought, no way could be the possible in "Birmingham UK" LOL! Only in the USA! Fantastic.
That is NOT a Hammer 'Drill', it's a Hydraulic Rock Breaker, a Drill 'Bores' holes, a totally different operation! I operated both 'Stationary' Rock Breakers beside a 'Grizzly' at the deepest base metal mine in the world in Timmins, Ontario, CAN., and I also operated a scooptram mounted Rock Breaker mounted where the bucket would be mounted on a 8 yard Sandvik scoop tram breaking oversize ore too big to get to the Grizzly, doing this task manually and remotely using a harness that was slung over the shoulder so that the remote control unit could be operated from waist height.
We have a large iron ore mine in Ghelari, Hunedoara county, Romania that opened in the Roman times, operated till September 2005 when it ceased operation.
@@UndergroundBirmingham Former miners warned everyone trying to enter the mine to have a oxygen level measuring device. The iron ore when oxidizing, tends to remove oxygen from air.
"You can see right here, with all this rebar, and these ties, they did NOT want anyone getting in here" but... what if it was the other way around? Something in there they didn't want to get OUT?
The coal mines up here in Southern Illinois and our surrounding states get capped off with about the same amount of overkill. Mostly Old Ben Coal,Consol,Peabody,Amax and a few Inland Steel mines. My buddies little brother was nearly burned to death when we were in grade school in the early eighties. They lived next to a mine that was closed in the late 50’s. Bureau of natural resources and land management along with the reclamation department manage the mining property nationwide and have for several years now. They’d be the people to control your access and egress from that shaft and to have the say so on safety and health practices. OSHA won’t have any say so I what y’all are doing nor will MSHA since there isn’t any work going on at the site of this mine you’re at. You more than likely don’t earn any income from this project. BTW, I don’t want any of y’all to think I’m trying to call you out on anything. I just don’t want you or any of your crew to be the ones left holding the bag if anything were to happen My other reason for commenting is to make sure that y’all are prepped with some sort of plan like self rescuers and air meter
Back to the point about my buddies little brother. The closed mine property jogged into their property a pretty good bit. That being the case,he had to cross what had previously been part of the mines gob pile to get to the street. That particular morning he didn’t make it to the street to catch the school bus when their yard collapsed under him. The gob had been burning underground for quite some time and nobody new it was happening.That’s just the a little history of what led up to the reclamation dept getting involved in the safety aspect of closed mines and the reason that the ground near the shaft,prep plant and outlying areas are reclaimed in a more reasonable time and manner. Hoping y’all have some self rescue equipment or emergency oxygen gear for being underground with the mines ventilation system not running. I really appreciate and enjoy these exploration vids. Keep up the great work and thank ya for taking on this project.
Cool! Had you guys already been in this one before? I'm guessing they're going to do this one like the one in RM Park they opened a few years ago and gated off!?
That would be cool. I know there is an old coal mine up north that gives tours like that. I believe it's in Pennsylvania. So it's not completely out of the realm of possibilities.
How do you open a sealed mine? Don't you need permits and approval for something like that? And isn't leaving the mine open afterward considered hazardous? What am I missing?
Agreed he should have installed a metal door on it and put on an unbreakable locking mechanism. Now everyone will wander in and get killed! Hey, it's on his head!
Im glad we have a different mind set on places like this now instead of covering them in dirt and pouring concrete on them we look to preserve the entrances for historical preservation and hiking. I wonder when it was originally sealed in concrete/and filled in with dirt?

The wall was not unforced with “railroad ties” it was definitely old bits of mining track.
yea, that is what i meant, i tend to mix up words from time to tome lol
As a teenager I was in all of the Ishkooda mines we could get into. Dangerous.
I live in Powderly under the Red Mountain near tge cut.A lot of family worked the mines ( black).There was any explosion when dynomite cookoff and blew up. Would like to see more.
Well equipped
Super Movie and History ;)
