They had batteries back then eh! just a different form of them. Cheers from Northern Michigan! Grandpa moved our family to the US from Birmingham UK in the 30's and 40's, have always wanted to go and check out his old stomping grounds

How amazing ..our ancestral past. The hard work and determination..crazy.

In archaeology you expect the oldest stuff to be at the botton but mining works in reverse because of course the easy pickings were closer to the surface. It sound counter intuitive though..

Did anyone else see the image of a pirate with a hat and skull and crossbones!! Amazing!

i feel i seen you couple years ago in peack district after you explored a cave and were washing the mud off your suit in a stream and i asked you what were you dooing and if you are a s researcher 😅

Well done boys, your doing an amazing job documenting these mines. These miners were the unsung hero's of the industrial revolution and should be celebrated.

Can you smell the old miners side bacon beans farts? 💨

speechless! awesome.

At 7:19 in the video, I think that may be gold. Which explain the dirty water.

There used to be a mine were I lived in Peak Forest it was called Oxlow mine we used to mess around it as kid bit risky ,it was very deep and lined with lime stone oval shaped then near the bottom it tapered in. there was a gin at the top it has been cap but there is another way it they missed that. Just wondered if you ever went down it ,there are loads more nearby to.

As a mining enginner i understand how risky this is...

Love your vids keep it up

Im a simple man, i see a new cave/mine/sewer exploring channel, i subscribe.

Those rails on the man way look like makeshift grizzly bars

What lighting would late 17th century miners have had? Just candles or oil lamps?

The Z and L are both roman numerals indicating 2k and 0.5k respectively. 👍

New to the channel, what great knowledge you all have. Full of facts. Love it.

Great explore

Can't wait for the next video!

Idk what sounds your talking about I didn't hear any of it. I'm disappointed. This video sucks! I'm giving this a thumbs down cuz y'all are liars.

Miners back in those times where often people with little to no education. Most if not all could not read or write and would use very basic forms of cataloging or marking that only their groups would understand. For example the big capital L could be short for ´´Loads´´.

Great exploration!

So cool there was still liquid in that bottle at 4:05 I love these videos!

I vote for abseiling, but I really don't mind it is just nice that we get to see all of these mines thanks to you. I am looking forward to seeing you go down that chute that you found can't wait to see what else this mine has to offer. Some nice finds in this video I really enjoyed the gold cave pearls you found.

The obvious question. What are the objects you described as pearls, and how were they formed?

The minds aren't lost.They just stopped using them. Seriously and they don't even show the entrance to the minds.

Awesome. I love your videos. I could listen to you guys prattle on about mines all day. Very interesting as always

What was mined in Wales. I know you have talked about copper and lead and zinc. Was there any gold or silver?

At 9:06 in the video we call those a grizzly in the US. A ore shoot. Ore classifier. 😊

Do you still plan to ROV the shipwreck that you mentioned in a previous video?

Abseil!

FUCK THE ROV!!!

How did the miners extract or haul out the ore or refuse? On their backs?

good explore, thanks for sharing.

Awesome. 👍

I have to ask, why not make the opening bigger to make it little more easy. Also if you do rubbings a lot more things can be seen.

Scary!

Too meny pints of lager

Another awesome video Guys🤙 Cheers 🍻

Grr Loan

Boys again just WOW 🤩

Your BBC program is excellent, thank you.

Been loving your YT channel guys. But this programme was amazing! The darkness hitting the chisel...was so moving! Great work. Love living in Mid Wales

Outstanding that you're doing a BBC documentary. Just make sure to keep your fan base on CZcams.

I like it how you guys are smiling right before you head in. I appreciate being able to see inside old mines because I'd never dare go in one.

Intro music reminds me of black ops II😂

I noticed you admiring the dove tail joints in the explosives box, its funny back then almost all boxes of any description were made like that, slates of wood dove tailed together, cheaply made and easily available. These days you only seen to get dove tail joints on expensive furniture, and is you want a wooden storage box you cannot find any anywhere, and if you do they are nailed and glued. Technology was meant to make our lives easier, all it seems to done is makes things cheaper to manufacture and remove all skill out of making things, its a shame, myself being a fully trained sheet metal worker, pushed out of a job in the late 80's by computer aided machines that needed none skilled people to operate. Bring back the old ways.

The points were known as a sword and V junction, quick and easy to install and very practical.

Thanks Team 😃 a gem mine to me! Loan just grr! Thanks always for the view team
