- I should have titled this video "Big massive shaft" ha ha I'm such a crazy. I wasn't entirely on my own for this explore, my pal was topside, so if I had of been in trouble I would have been found. DO NOT GO EXPLORING ABANDONED MINES FOLKS! I cannot stress how dangerous this is, instant death can await you!
Sorry about the knocky noises on the audio, this Gopro 5 picks up every vibration, gotta fix that somehow.

I do not recommend anyone exploring these abandoned places, they are very dangerous, we explore so you don't have to!
We do not break and enter, we do not steal and we do not vandalise. We take only pictures and leave only footprints.
Wooooarrrr! Nice find man! Some cool features down there, the blue and greens are minerals relating to copper, I see them a lot in the mines down here in Cornwall. Watch out for them flooded shafts on the sides of the tunnels, usually a false wooden floor goes across the other side of them, often hidden under the rocks and dirt that have fallen over the years, be aware they could just give way sending you down hundreds of feet :( Always good to have someone with you inside the mine, just incase something did happen. Great footage of the explore, I expect you can google more info on the workings on the surface too, I expect it was someones project to reopen the mine or dig out further sections. So, we going to see more mine explores in the near future? :) Keep up the good work!
Cornish Mine Explorer ha ha 😀 thanks man, awesome comment! I was pretty scared on my own and definitely not brave enough to take any risks. I was sure the second shaft I got to had a false floor, I wasn't too happy about that bit. I would like to go back with some waders and explore the other tunnel👌 If I can find others that are safe enough I will definitely explore them, in my area it was all coal mines and very dangerous 😨 thanks again mate I really appreciate it 🖒
upalevel productions you should have brought a pan with you to see if any golds in that river 😂😂 maybe next time
Amanda Lyons I will take a metal detector next time, they've found big nuggets in this one 😃👍
upalevel productions cool 😁
Man I miss living in Wales! I used to live in Betws-y-coyed, some huge mines and shafts around there.
I was watching a show about mines in Death Valley on Netflix. Apparently somewhere there is a tunnel that goes on for miles, and leads to this area where there supposedly Gold just all over the place. Anyway, there were three exploring the mine, and there was nobody talking and it was being recorded. On the recording when played back there is a noise....they had a device that played back slowly what the noise was and there was a voice before the noise that said, “Watch Out”. It was kind of spooky.
Loved the video, thanks.
Excellent, wow I recently watched an 80’s film where there were alien things in mines. Nasty buggers. Brave for going down there on your own. Well done
Green = Copper
Rusty Red= Iron
Yellow/Orange= Sulfides
White= Calcite,Quarts there are alot of things in mines that are white some good some bad. Might wanna take an air meter with you in the mines you go into.... Never know, it could save your arse!! Keep up the vids for the ones that have roots in the area but probably never get the chance to see in person! Thanks for what you do!!
😳
EPIC 😁👍 that has to be my favourite videos of yours so far! Well done!
That flooded shaft makes me want to learn how to scuba 😂 absolutely great find. And located in such a nice place.
Now I know what you where talking about on Instagram, "deep shaft" 😆👍 quality!
Sub Exploration ha ha I told you you would piss yourself 😂😂😂 it was my favourite too, scary but awesome. I've had a go with the tanks, it's amazing but never proper diving. I was thinking exactly the same when I looked in there, the water was so clear 🖒😀😀😀
upalevel productions again mate, well done, proper good video 👍🤘
Sub Exploration thanks man I really appreciate it 🖒 it took three and a half hrs just to render and that's before uploading 😕
Just found this video . And it's an amazing insight you gave . I can hear old miners talking in your video 👻👻
If this is the mine I think it is, then its likely to get reopened in the next two years
The Romans ran off with most of it but there were mines in more recent time like Vigra Mine, Bontddu, Gwynfynydd, Dolgellaum, Clogau to name but a few all around the Dolgellau Gold Belt. The last the Gwynfynydd mine closed in 1999 as it was worked out. Large deposits have since been found in Ireland making any remaining Welsh gold uneconomic.
Awesome video man, amazing seeing inside that mine I really enjoyed this one. Even the walk down to it is really cool
KCVids816 Thanks man, very happy you enjoyed it, this was my scariest but favourite explore yet 😨
You definitely shafted this 😂 see what you mean it's scary in there on your own I wouldn't of lasted 5 min, love near the end lifting absolutely everything in sight haha the bridge was good. Top video my friend.
Tracy Explores 🤣👍
Can I come & explore with you tracy babes you look well fit xxxxxx
Fantastic work again! Paul in Lower Boddington
Absolutely awesome, scary, amazing. It like something off of a hellacious video game to hell. wow
Do you have the coordinates for this? I want to check it out. Disclaimer, I am a climber and have done a bit of caving before so as far as safety goes I'm happy with the risks
You never go down any mines alone, espcially when you have no knowledge of what you're doing & you have no knowledge whatsoever! It's just stupid & dangerous & if something happened other would have to put their lifes at risk to get you out!
Isn't this the one that flooded trapped too men it's close to where I live
Great exploration my friend, a beautiful place👍
TheFleps thank you my friend 😃 always appreciate your support 🖒
That's an amazing mine, nice find
Lucas Nott Thank you very much my friend 😁👍
Great channel too
Lucas Nott 😁😁😁👍
Shame these mines only get shut down when they don't produce 100 ounces a week, theirs still a whole lot of gold in them hills.
BattlePro Gamers there's a possibility that this mine will be reopened as it's said to be some of the finest gold in the world 😀 thanks for watching 😊👍
No problem, upalevel productions. I'm going prospecting soon, at the north pennies, (sluice box and panning) so doing as much research as i can.
Where are you from Scott? That’s a familiar accent. First timer, I’ve subbed too 🤘🏼 Great vid! You take me where I can’t go.. thank you 😊
I'm from Dudley 😀👍 thanks very much my friend, glad you like it, welcome on board 😊🙏👍
Great find, awesome explore!
Explore With Us Thanks man, I thought this one we be just your kind of thing, not quite area 51 though ha 😁🖒
That ring looks like one of the old air line gaskets...... ??
9.17 right hand side human skull on the ground
Tit Mandildo I hope not 🤤💀😱☠
I saw that too
you need your eyes testing
No way 😳
Its a stone screen shot it and zoom in to see 👀
Is this the clogau st David mine?
"Defiantly Don't try that at home" .. But IF you do not' be a twit like me and enter without proper lighting or boots and have to go back and retrieve them ...also Don't bring a hardhat or helmet and make sure you wear sunglasses because U have to look cool on camera
I never herd of a mine very close to the stream before🇬🇧🤨
Did you pan the stream?
4.51 nice blue shine
Did you not take any of the old pay dirt home with you to siv threw . ?
Loved it xxx
Thanks very much my friend 😊🙏
you can ear EVPS of old miners shouting mixed in with the dripping water
Oh yes I revisited this one recently and I was convinced I could actually hear miners working, a very spooky place 😱 thanks for watching 😊
The last mine on this video was on the news as being rich with resources. I think it's Llechfraith Adit?
We're is that on the map 🤔 I can't for the life of me fined it
I live not far from it and not been inside for about 6 years now.
You should go get some gold 🤫
Great video, if it ever in the north west give me a shout ill show u arou d a few mines
I'm about to start where
Close to Shrewsbury
Wherrrree?!
Clogau Gold is it?
yes
That’s the mine but it’s close to the river 🇬🇧🤨
Been wanting to visit an old mine. Cud u possibly let me no wer bouts in wales ths is
tracy connah I'm sorry I don't reveal my locations publicly 😞 and I wouldn't recommend exploring this one anyway, it's extremely dangerous 🤤 thanks for watching and commenting though, much appreciated 😁👍
upalevel productions I don’t reveal my locations what a helmet ,,, some value u give ,,,ur vid skills are shite and I watched 2 secs of your vid
I went here today
where js it mate near there now
Interesting place you wouldn't want to take dogs around there and the audio on the hero 5 is terrible but not to bad with your film , great vid
I Macey The dog has been on some epic adventures with us but unfortunately he had to bow wow out of this one 😂 I love the gopro but the way it picks up the vibration drives me nuts, I'm gonna cut down the mount and glue some rubber in there see if that fixes it 🤔 thanks dude 😆
The blue and green comes from Copper.
Great explore man
TopAbandonedPlaces | URBEX glad to entertaining 👍 thanks man 👊
upalevel productions tell me when your in South Wales and we could do a collab if you want
TopAbandonedPlaces | URBEX sounds like a plan dude 🖒 I'll let you know when I'm around that way 😀
upalevel productions We might be going to Talgarth next weekend or the weekend after
TopAbandonedPlaces | URBEX I got no transport at the moment dude but sometimes I can get around a bit, I'll have to let you know 🖒
The green and blue bits are copper.
Rastaman Ralph these mines are amazing, thanks for watching 😊
What mine is this mate
YAW IS A CRAZY YAM YAM U IS AARRRH!!!
😂😂😂 oh R I definitely am ay I 😁👍
How far in was the beginning of the gold seam?
I think there's quite a few veins running in different directions, there's still gold here and there's talk of it reopening. Thanks for watching 😊
Wow you were braver than us in that mine, we must have been there just a few weeks after you but we didn't go that far into that one (mainly cus we couldn't see anything) but there is another entrance a bit of a walk up the hill which we did go in. video is here ua-cam.com/video/px05LM-AYcU/v-deo.html skip to 1:25 to get to the mine bit.
You said there was coal mines near where you live in dudley but I can't find any info for them don't worry I know coal mines are dangerous and I'm not going to visit them
nice
Thanks very much my friend 😊🙏
Where abouts in wales is the mine
Sorry I don't reveal my locations because of vandals, thanks for watching 👍
@@upalevelproductions you like to keep everything for you ? Human being boo
at the start he gave some very sound advice ,,,,,,do not go into mines no matter what and i wish he followed his own advice
0:29 must have ran out of cash
which mine is this mate ? Clog
Dave UK Yes it is mate 😀 glad you didn't say the full name though 😂 thanks for watching dude 🖒
Full name please ?
Beat you to it by 40 years 😁
Dave Woods wow a veteran 😃👍 this must have been interesting then
upalevel productions funnimy enough it was much the same then but more signs of working and we had a key as that door was still locked. I was a founder member of a now defunct organisation called MRBA mines research in the Bristol Area and we knew the butcher in Dolgelau who was also an ardent caver we took him down swildons and a few other local caves and old lead shafts and in return he took us to some amazing old mines Gold as well as slate some of the slate mines were Huge and still had relics of the heyday wooden carts clothing still on pegs and boots in racks shame we didnt have mobile pho es or action cams back then, keep up the good work 👍
Dave Woods That's great 😉 I love exploring caves and especially these mines, it's amazing to imagine what they would be like to work in when they were in their prime. I have a huge silver, zinc and lead mine video coming up soon 👍 are you on Facebook or instagram? If could send me some locations of caves and mines I would very much appreciated it👍 in private of course, I don't like to reveal the locations because they are so dangerous
upalevel productions well to be honest most of the mines we visited are now well known so there would be no suprises and as for the caves they are all available in the mendip mines register www.mcra.org.uk/registry/
And all are well caved
I doubt if there are any hidden gems left
But if I hear of anything ill be sure to let ypu know 👍
@@upalevelproductions hello mate be interested in chatting with you I'm from Telford, and would be very interested in doing some caving/mine exploring myself happy to provide transport etc. Hit me up for a chat if you wish, or any organisation you know of. Great video
Is this north or South Wales
the JDM car life North Wales 👍 thanks for watching 😊
more middle east wales but still who would give an exact location lol ;)
Bobbly head.
Murphy What's that mean? 😂 you mean the camera movement, I was holding the gimbal in one hand and the light in the other while trying not to fall down deep shafts 😂 thanks for watching 👍
If it's dangerous going down mines and you're telling bus not to do it why are you going down mines? I 'live' in North Wales
I've been down loads of mines and you're right it is instant death, I died instantly the first mine I ever went down. I suppose you're wondering how I've visited all the other mines, supernatural effort that's how. Also the old timber propping the thing up is not. They put timbers like that as a crude device to check for movement/subsidence in the adits.
MY DOG WOULD HAVE SO BEEN WITH ME. MY BEST PAL GOES EVERYWHERE WITH ME DANGEROUS N ALL
Glen Akrigg 😃👍 mans best friend, thanks for the comment
