    An amazingly complex mine. Huge amount of gobbing - the most I have seen on any episode. The amount of labor is almost beyond amazing. Thanks to Gly and Laura for another cool adventure.

    Worth a like just for the head bumps alone 🥴 They were so precise about cleaning out that ore! It's like a negative relief of an ore body. Ton of pick work and all that gobbing. Picture in my head is of a beehive of workers. Wonder how many dollars they took out of there.

    Swiss cheese mine, this rings a bell, you could have done this before. Don't recall this entrance. This sure is new and news to me. Glad you've got a mind for it, me i'd panic.

    Now that’s a complex mine. Awesome explore. I have to say “Laura the explorer” is the best thing to happen to you and your channel Gly. Laura adds a great perspective and between you both the running commentary really adds to the history of each area and mine. My wife and I never miss an episode particularly now there is 2 a week. The best mine exploration channel on UA-cam by far.

    This is another one that you called Swiss cheese guess that ore had the miners gone crazy. Miner said "tell my wife and kids I'll be home when I find my way out of this Swiss cheese mine. Oops I may never go home I took another wrong turn right hand rule failed me big time" I can really hear a miner saying that. 😂😂

    Can you just imagine the size of the waste rock pile if all that gobbing had been hauled out? And I can only wonder what got buried and backfilled. What artifacts must be hiding underneath all that gobbing.

    Superb Explore, my lower back is screaming for you, I get back spasms and that bending at the waist is harder on my back then lifting heavy items all day. I use Methocarbamol and Ibuprofen to help with the spasms. Helps most of the time. I can not believe it I am winning one of your Specimens on eBay again. Love the Obsidian, I must confess I love all teh Specimens, but Obsidian and Peacock Ore (Chalcopyrite) are 2 of my favorites.

    @Gly/Laura ... Very interesting both. As you eluded to there being vehicle haulage in that mine, a daft idea I toyed with in the 80's and 90's was to explore old slate mines in Wales ... on a motorbike!! Crazy days back then LOL!!

    That 1st. adet just kept going down in depth, interesting. 2nd. mine, "they" were cleaning out "pockets" all over the space!! Where ever the vein shot through. My gosh! look at the drifting, back & forth. Guess you were onto something regarding the history of Chinese miners working in this area, cause look at the low "back" through out. Poor you'se and your backs. At the stone arrow, 31:31, as you tagged this mine "swiss cheese". Early on in your exploring days, when you ran into a cross sectioning mine like this, you would set down "flashing strobes", to make sure that you got back out. (look at you now! so "seasoned" in exploring, you know right where you are), well almost...ha,ha. You got turned around in that "circle". (Most of us would have been lost "way back".) At 41:26, look! at that beautiful gobbing! Wow! thats alot of work. Through the "skinney part", I would have sat on a rock, for a "time out" for my back....many times. Sure was some pretty geology thru-out. I even spotted some Turquoise Chrisocola. Thanks for "hanging in there" you two so that YOU & WE could see it all!!

    i can imagine the utility of having some super long "tape" or other fabric type lengthy thing that you coudl bring up at the entrance of a mine, and it would have an arrow pointing outwards form the entrance that could be used as a reference. then at each branching point have a new length of tape started with the arrows pointing in the direction of an Exit, and the primary "tape" make it be 500 to 1000 foo long lengths per roll, and it could be quite useful to mark your path while exploring, or i can imagine for Active drift mines, as an extra safety mechanism.
