I didn't watch the video yet. I will later. Is that you op? Are you in NN or SN? I go out all the time in NN exploring mines. I have a ton of photos I'll share with you if you want.

I learned the do's and don'ts from my friend who's a mining engineer. Some are okay to go in. Some aren't. You just gotta know what to look for, smell and hear. Rattle snakes is what gets me though. |

What about confined spaces training. No meters shown in the video. Happened here at The Orleans a few years ago. Few breaths of bad air and you DOA is minute if not seconds. Stupid on the part of OP or whomever did it. Not to say I didn't help friend explore vertical shaft's as a teenager, but LIVE and learn. Stay the hell out of those holes. It's crazy to do that with adult knowledge. |

That reminds me, anyone know how to turn a "Wicked Laser" into a vehicle mounted Black-light?
Plenty of interesting stuff to be found above ground with the right equipment. |

These are from a recent outing. Had to cross a very deep vertical shaft on a single plank.
I only go out with a crew. Never alone. My friend I work with who is a mine engineer, his friend who is a geologist. And occasionally a friend or two. We have air/gas detectors. Lots of lighting, safety equipment etc. Its actually pretty safe if you have all the proper gear, knowledge, training and common sense. |

Confined spaces creep me out. Confined earthen spaces creep me out worse. You guys can have that shit. I love the history but am not ready to join it yet.

Oh wait.. This isn't rock climbing. There are no pre drilled anchors to hook up to. Crossing a verticle shaft on a strong plank you bought is the easiest part of exploring mines. Were not going to trust any old piece of wood in a 100+ year old mine. |

I just stay out and stay alive. Be safe when you go in there. -Joe |

It was a very very weird feeling standing there knowing there was a persons body sitting at the bottom. |

Curious to see how many mob dumps are at the bottom of some of those shafts.

Today's drones (Or a very long rope) with a GoPro camera and bright LED lights would make for some interesting finds.

Many years ago a guy brought in an old Winchester 94 for repair.
He had found it laying next to a skeleton in a mine. He reported the skeleton to LE and they did recover it. He did not report the '94 and kept it for himself. Not sure how well drones would receive control signals underground around corners and down shafts? |

Not an electronics expert but do know that the metallic minerals content of a mine is likely to work against control signals. Pretty certain it's not the same as open sky. Might have to run some sort of antennae through the mine in steps to retain control? Underwater drones are cabled. |

I remember getting my rc car stuck dead in the middle of a big culvert. Grandpa was not happy about that
