Great video! Should make a satire version of the Blair witch project when the flame goes out and the lamp goes shortly after . Trying to find your way out but keep coming back to the same split.
Looks like you are in this because of your coal mining experience and love of exploration / mystery discoveries. I find that inter3esting too. I grew up near a reservation in that area along the Missouri river and was always fascinated about the mystical / supernatural regard the native people had for that area.
Radio Dued, There are areas of the Black Hills that feel supernatural for sure. It's no wonder the Lakota consider the Black Hills, Paha Sapa, sacred land.
Your not really being safe with just a safety flame light. You really need to get some modern safety equipment if your going to be doing this especially on your own without a partner
It was not black damp. Black damp is for coal mines. What you were in with sulfites. That's why all the rust. Some fights when they break down create one hydrogen sulfide and it exerts all the oxygen. So what you are in was low oxygen. What you did the right thing and turned around and got out of there that's why you need an oxygen monitor. Using a safety lamp in a mine like that is not that great. And that piece of pipe thing you found that's for a drill. A column drill. You have the column which looks like a big house jack. Then that piece bolts onto that horizontally. And then the drill bolts to that piece
That was a really great post. Thanks Robert! I would agree an electronic gas or oxygen indicator would be best suited for the general population. They also typically have some sought of audio or visual alarm unlike a flame safety lamp. To properly set up and operate a flame safety lamp requires training; which I have received in the mine. I carried one with me all the time. But the term "blackdamp" is commonly used to describe an asphyxiate, typically made up of two or more gases where oxygen has been removed from the air in enclosed environments such as mines, sewers, wells, tunnels and ships' holds. The cause and or type of gases present depends upon the type of mine it occurs in. In this situation, as you correctly pointed out, the main cause was hydrogen sulfide cause by oxidation. In a coal mine, where it is often found, it's typically made up of carbon dioxide, water vapor and or methane. No matter what you call it, it can and will kill you unless you act accordingly. Once again, I appreciate your post as perhaps we can save lives.
Hey Hooahextreme, that's what I though at first. But Robert Viergutz below posted: "...that piece of pipe thing you found that's for a drill. A column drill. You have the column which looks like a big house jack. Then that piece bolts onto that horizontally. And then the drill bolts to that piece." I'm thinking he's got it right.
If you are going to get serious about this invest in a good multi gas detector, I have been running a MSA altair4x and they are cheaper than you life and cover more than O2

This was one adventure underground that was cool and exciting I enjoyed 😉
Thanks guys!
I'm truly enjoying your video's, keep up the awesome content....
Thanks Leonard!
Why don’t you get a Digital air and gas meter
Get a air monitor. A safety flame wont always cut it.

@@DakotaProspecting in hard rock mining we just call it bad air. in coal mining they call it black damp. but you are right.
Thank u !!!
You're welcome.
That nozzle might be a monitor nozzle for hydraulic mining.

@@DakotaProspecting Now that you mention it I think I recall seeing pics of a drill with that piece.
2nd yay!!!❤️
Cool!
The "Church Key" was patented in 1936. The BLM website has a page for identifying artifacts. "BLM Historic Artifact Guide'
Never knew they called a can opener a "church key". lol. Thanks for the tip on BLM!
Where was this at
What is the blue rock ?
Don't know, Nick. I didn't see any blue rock. It could be the gray schist rock that coming up a shade of blue under the LED lighting maybe.
