Unfortunately at 28 minutes when Lois found the track gauge water dripped on the camera putting it in slow motion but it does come back to normal on the way out so keep watching Thanks everyone,,,
Would you be able to show the process of draining the mine? Looking forward to seeing why you couldn't touch the floor in there. Always a treat to see a new upload.
Gareth dug the first one out a few weeks ago whilst we were camping up there, Glad you went in and saved us a miserable one haha. The second one was freezing, Fair play to Lois, shes hardcore compared to me in that water.
Hi, Very nice mines. For those intertested in what audio was said during the slow motion I extracted it & listened correct speed, main points>>> 18 inch track not 2 FT----- Track guage found underwater--- Put back on side of tunnel so future visitors dont trample it, put back underwater laying flat so wont deteriate as fast. Cheers Daniel.
That piece of wood with the iron plate might be a "chair" it's missing its leg. Whenever you guys go in flooded mines, bring a clear plastic bowl with you. It's excellent to look under the wavy water for artifacts and features. A clear plastic salad bowl would do and it's not that difficult to haul.
Really hope your Mine Documentary will be on a service I can get! Well, if you're gonna keep hitting flooded mines like that, time for some snorkel gear and underwater cams other than your Fifish. Looking forward to seeing you drain that one mine!
That lump of wood with the metal plate on it with the dimple in the middle could be a makeshift rivet dolly, but usually they are made entirely of steel, but if hand riveting wood would be more comfortable to hold, and the steel would be easy to move if using hot rivets.
idk if yall noticed, at 17:33 mark of the video, on the first wall with the "cart scrapes" there is a very visible "O" with an arrow and below that is a T. idk if its written by finger in the clay or scratched onto the rock but i guess it wasnt as visible in person as it really stood out on camera.
Cables if they are pulled across surfaces without proper guides or pulley's will "walk" over the surface and create much larger grooves than the cable diameter. Wire rope is pretty abrasive.
Ropes can thrash around wildly on long runs. I saw that down a Welsh coal mine, Oakdale IIRC, when I worked for the NCB. We heard the signal bell ring and the chap with me from the mine hurled me into the nearest manhole and followed himself. The rope hit both walls, the floor and the roof as it took the strain before running more smoothly.
Hi all. Great video. Shame to witness all that toil for no result. Re the slow-mo section: I don't know what video editing software you use but you could probably speed that up by whatever factor it was slowed down by to restore it to something watchable and more understandable. I do it to fast forward through boring or repetitive bits in my videos. All that said, though, it did add to the eerie "time stood still" ambience of these old mines. Good luck with the telly filming. Mart in Solihull.

Thanks everyone,,,
Huh. So that's why. So many strange things in one mine
Wondered if you all suddenly speaking trollish or something XD
Ha! I though you'd gone all Lord of the Rings on us and were about start talking about the one ring!
I thought it was an attempt at some horror edit, I actually got a bit scared
Lois has the maximum bottle of all! We love her!

I, for one, welcome our Overlord risen from the deep, at 28:10! :) Thanks, a fascinating exploration!
😂

Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste

at 17:33 there is an arrow with a O above it and maybe an X above that
I thought it was an arrow and a number 2.

Just found this channel. It's actually quite interesting
Very exciting video! With the pearls being so small would that make them mine caviar 😉👀

Always a welcome addition to my Sunday, thanks from Colorado 👍
Love to see video of you guys draining the mine
Brilliant work on this one... I have personally drawn the line at swimming underground because we use waders.
Another great video ! …including the weird slo mo section !
Great exploration again you never know what is round the next corner. Good luck with the filming; hope there are not too many takes!
Newly discovered channel. Many thanks, great work and I'll be back for more for sure.
We're so excited you get to do a TV documentary! Hopefully we in the U.S. will be able to view it! 🙂
Nice explore, a lot to see .
You need some inner tubes for those wet mines. Just float along

The terrific trio strikes again!
Great stuff gang!
Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦 🙏
Cable drawn systems used to bounce around a lot when under strain, pulling tubs, so a 1" cable could create a a 3 to 4" grind in the rock
That was a good watch, thank you for the slightly longer video.
When you find the track gauge, is the video going ridiculously slow, or did my cats do something funny on my remote?
😹🙀😸😺
Hooray! Another video!

Another awesome video!
Think I recognise one portal, I was digging a channel to drain the water a while back. Sure I seen a orb pass camera when you showed the track gauge 👍
the pointy bar with the baby anvil looks like an old round file. the pointy end is hammered into a wooden handle

I think the O actually has a W above it as well. "W O" followed by an arrow. Presumably "Way Out".
@@J_McQ nice now that makes sense. I was just surprised the guys didnt say anything about it
23:45 cave pearls are so weird. :))

At 17.33 did you notice the finger mark left arrow and W over a C inscribed on the rib?
I think it's W then O, followed by the arrow. Presumably "Way Out".
Cool mine, fun video! Thanks for sharing it! One question, though, what's up with the random slowmo section?
Anyone else notice the 0 and the arrow mark above the ? Wagon marks ? 17:29.
Yup, I did too.
Mr. Know it all, got stumped? 🤔😂

You seem to have hit a time space fracture in the last mine, who'd have thought it!
Could the unknown metal and wood object be a break shoe?
Hello from sunny Florida. Any chance of those tallow? candles still lighting if you put a match to it?
They won't if they're wet.
What happened to the sound from 28.09 to about 32.00?!
28:09 - the video goes into slow motion.
I’m wondering if the mysterious block with metal is for sharpening their chisels
✨🙏✨🇦🇺
Mine - timber - deep water - hydrogen sulfide - what else could go wrong ?
When you couldn't walk in mine because no floor ,why didn't you send in the fifish rov
Why not just float, you have wet suits that float?
The headspace completely ran out just ahead of where I got to. 😉
