    I can probably speak for many of us who enjoy what you do and how you do it, (camera wise, explanations, etc:) that when you go out alone to some of these mines, we WORRY about you, Gly. Stay safe, no amount of views is worth your life, buddy!

    At 27:20 you checked the face. That showed the "bootlegged" remains of a "burn cut". The force of the shots is directed at the floor, with the lifters fired last to move the muck back from the face. In older mines the drilling technology relied on a "vee cut", which blew everything straight back down the drift, hence the need for the steel blasting sheets often found in older mines.

    As much as I love your content and what you do, this is one of the mines that made me uncomfortable. I've learned a lot about geology and mines from your videos and let me tell you, not even I'd go in this mine. The whole damn place looked ready to come down. I've gone into some stupid places, but please don't go into mines like this one alone.

    What’s next for Gly? A 10,000ft long adit with drifts splitting off in different directions? Or a 1000ft deep shaft with 6-7 levels of drifts both left and right? Who knows… In my opinion the bigger the better. Always go as far as you can without putting yourself in danger.

    There might be one other category of collapse worth mentioning. That is where there has been a fire. Timbers are gone or cooked and the rock most certainly is cooked. That would most likely be my stopping point. Thanks for mentioning the gauge. Cheers.

    Hi Gly, good call. The ground conditions were poor when they drove that drift. They used rail track for spiling. I could see the rail on top of the caps. I have spiled through ground using rail for spiling. When you see that stay out of the timber sets are rotted.

  • @t-yoonit
    @t-yoonit 2 роки тому +1

    This has got to be one of the darkest, dampest mines I have ever seen you in. It's an incredible mind trick that such saturated ground seems to just absorb so much light. The point before you decided to turn back with all those marked ore bodies is such a stark contrast to the light colors we are used to seeing the last few years along with the amount of ore that was left behind in those giant rooms, it feels like you were walking us in for a tour of a still active mine and really gave me the feel of what it would have been like to be there every day and what you would properly see in a working mine as far as the earth goes. Just under halfway through the video at this point but wanted to get the comment down to get my thoughts out before I forgot them.

    • @AbandonedandForgottenPlaces
      @AbandonedandForgottenPlaces  2 роки тому +1

      “Gly”: The areas I was going through is what I call “stuff collapse”. It’s plenty dangerous but far less dangerous than the area where I turned back. That area was like wet gravel being held up by rotting timbers just waiting for a victim.

    Whenever you see fungus, mildew and/or mold you should immediately put on an appropriate respirator to filter out any spores that might be airborne or dislodge by you. Believe me, any infection cause by any of those can be really nasty as well as misdiagnosed by a doctor.

Bummer you didn't get into any of the stopes. That one very wet timbered section puckered me up too. Glad u didn't go all the way through. Good call.

    The excelleration formula works great for divining the depths of shafts. It’s what I use, have you heard of it? It’s 16 feet times seconds squared. You drop in a small rock, count the seconds till it hits, square that time lapse, then multiply that result times 16. That will give you the distance in feet. Vincent Becker

    I always wanted Indiana Jones to be real not just a movie character. I always wanted someone to be fearless yet cautious...strong and capable just like Indie. My search is over, Gly is the real Indiana Jones! Be safe out there Gly and be good! 🙏🏽
