The channel might look a bit strange for the time being, this is because we're updating our video icons to be of the same design rather than being rather random. We're marking all the previous videos as public as we update each icon so hopefully in no time we'll have updated everything and the whole site will be back to normal.

Best Mine Stope Ever Seen

Some times you loose, and loose again. Then, sometimes you WIN! Mine Exploring at its best! Here we find mine graffiti from the early 1800's, then the most beautiful stope that we've ever seen in a mine. We walk really far, get really wet and have a really good time!

This is a remaster of a previously released video, now at full 4K res and 60FPS - I've also now released this as a full length video without the second part half way through. The video is cut during the long walks between areas, otherwise it would take many hours to watch it all but it still makes for a video about an hour in length. For those that have already seen this, sorry! - for new subsc...

Tonguk 4 Gas Detector Review Here we review the Pulitong 4 gas detector from Tonguk (Amazon seller).

Beware Mine Shafts!

Beware Mine Shafts! We continue to explore the series of mines in the North East Pennines, this video is a continuation of our previous two videos "Wow what a mine" and "Mine Exploring before Breakfast" (links below). This area is one of the best preserved lead mining landscapes in the North Pennines with a total of six visible veins, three of which were hushed from the surface and the rest fou...
Robert Bainbridge and the Hudeshopehead Vein
zhlédnutí 499Před 3 lety
Hudeshopehead Mine Following in the footsteps of Robert Bainbridge (of 1809) and his trial adits to reach the unsuccessful and empty vein of Hudeshopehead. In this video we are mostly above ground just mooching around the valley in search for the lower and upper adits. It appears that our map of all of the workings above and below ground is not that accurate, though it is an amalgamation of fou...
Bad Air Deep Underground

Bad Air Deep Underground We didn't expect to get this deep underground right up here, that was for sure! Problem was that the air quality gradually decreased until we met a collapse beyond which we hit dangerously low levels os oxygen - not a fun return journey as having already used up a large percentage of the breathable oxygen and leaving behind higher levels of CO2 with breathing, the trip ...
Mine Exploring Before Breakfast

Mine Exploring Continuing on from our last video where we got drenched to the point that even the weatherproof camera gave up, I decided to get up early and take a walk back to the 'valley of excitement'. I knew whilst making the previous movie that we were missing out on more entrances, and having since been contacted by a viewer to continue our search of the area - I decided to go it alone an...
WOW! What a MINE!
zhlédnutí 980Před 3 lety
It was wet, really wet but what an amazing mine site! I've driven this road hundreds of times - always looked at the spoil heaps towering above the quarry but never once expected to find a massive array of mines this high up on the hill. What a strange place! It seems as though the quarry (which is over two hundred years old) has uncovered a load of really old mine tunnels and exposed them in v...

Finding Mines, Looking for Lead Mines in our area. In this video we explore the area of Hudeshope Beck to finally find the mysterious mines that have been wrongly labelled in a popular local mine history book. I've recently uploaded a couple of videos of a large mining complex in the Pennines UK, we know this area very well and have explored in depth all of the mines in the whole valley (most f...
Shaft Bottom PART 2

What's at the bottom of a mine shaft? PART 2 Now that we know what was at the bottom of the shaft, we continue to explore some more areas of the mine. We head off to the stope that we promised to explore in Part 1 and find out what was at the end of the small manway, from this we take a look an another vertical shaft that is hidden behind a blockwork wall and then onto the wheel barrow before e...

Whats at the bottom of a mine shaft? PART 1 So... there's a shaft in here that we decide to take a look and see what is at the bottom - after a small 'problem' we end up having to return a second time in order to capture some decent video of the mine so please excuse us if we appear to have become a bit cleaner at various points of the movie! Having explored this mine loads of times over many y...

try coleman barbecue fuel it works a treat.
hi guys.the lamp he is showing you is a supervisors/deputys lamp.the normal miners lamp was lit in the lamp room and picked up before the guys went underground.if the flame went out they were in trouble.but for some reason deputies could reignite their lamps.
nice video,just a warning, the two white gaskets are made of asbestos, swap these nasty stuff with modern ones and don't breath the debris. I made mines out of automotive cardboard paper gaskets. (heat resistant stuff) cheers
Had no idea that was how you opened a type 6! This is a great use of youtube.....
Great to see the old boys workings. esp the names and dates. i just got back from a tour of Corwall (from Australia). So fascinating. Managed to buy myself an nice good condition Type 6 safety lamp. Were these used in metal mines? or maybe just found its way there from the coal country.
Please tell me how popular was the E. Thomas Williams lamps in UK mining industry as its design looks so simple compare with Protector's.
the nikon looks like a horror movie which is really coon but not very good
wb zoom?
Thanks for the excellent review. I noticed that when you were filming using HDR, that dark areas were much more grainy than when using night mode. I especially noticed the grain in HDR mode when you were filmed your black camera set up on the tripod - the black areas had noticeable grain whereas the same shot in night mode the grain wasn't visible.
I wonder if the GR6S lamp with non- magnet latch is the latest model
In the UK the NCB/British Coal insisted on magnetic locks. Small mines could use the lead rivet style lock. In Australia there was a few mines that also used the lead rivet style lock as well.
@@LampBoy3583 Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the information on the HC-v800, is there a screw on lens cap protector link, thank you
My GR6S bought today does not have the same lighting mechanism as yours so not sure how it lights. Just 2 posts near the wick with screws in the top. No hole and bung in the glass either. It does have the magnet latch.
A 12v battery connects via silver ring and brass base below the glass.
I'm puzzled when you state that you had set the V800 to HDR mode. Your video clearly looks as if it's in HDR but, I found that this mode (for me anyway) produces the grainiest images in low-light. In your above video and the one of the farmhouse interior I can't see anything - it's noise free! As this mode automatically disables practically all other settings, including stabilization, I'm at a loss as to the reason why I'm getting poor results - any thoughts? > Cheers <
There's a larger one, a few hundred metres from there. Miles of tunnels.
I wonder how it compares to Sony AX43. Sony costs a little more but it's 4k (actually pointless for me personally as I record 1080p only). I wonder if the low light and image quality are better in 1080p on sony/
My grandfather Joseph Caygill had relatives owned this mine. I no from 1906 - 1916 William Caygill his uncle took over the mine from a Joseph Caygill which opened 1887 - 1905 then in 1917 - 1919 joint owners with William and William Scott we dont no anything else as my grandad is no longer with us. I would be grateful if anyone had any information or any relatives we may have still living near
Always told lighter fluid over paraffin in Eccles lamps. They have a sort of webbing in fuel cell and will clog up, if using too much paraffin. Lovely video on showing people how to dismantle Eccles lamps👍
Fish-belly rails Tom
Nice to see you Back Tom and Gaz
Thank you for such a great review, Do you know if it has a clean HDMI, I want to use it as a Web Cam too.
Hello from Denmark
Robert Blewitt Another great video, thanks! Are we allowed to know the name and location of the mine? Don't worry, I'm not going to go down it!
YESS! i love this channel so much, very chilled watching with a few beers!
Thanks :) :)
Looks familiar, cumbria?
Not quite but not too far away.
Are those waders you lads have on?
After you did the flats, right hand gets really interesting but neck deep water for long periods and sumps in bad weather but origionalky went right through the hill. Lol, I'm nit going down that level any time soon after your pizza event lol. If you'd have kept going on that level and gone through 15 mins if shake, you pop out near the blue pool :) I call it the shale loop, some big stopes down there.
Oww, will head on down and take a look further into it. All that bending over with me stomach churning away definitely wasn't going to end pleasantly - especially for anyone within 5000 or so. The results once home were bad..... (nearly before home at one point lol!)
Hi Tom & Gary, the mine seems to go all over the place, was that sulphur on the ribs or was it Ironstone ??? Another cool exploration guys, I hope you are both doing well. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Seemed a bit of a mix in places - some lovely ironstone bleeding out but also a fair bit of very yellow powdery mineral (which I took to be Sulphurous - though no smell.....apart from the bad pizza.....which may have left a sulphurous aroma down there....)
@@MineExploration Lol no more pizza's for you, poor Gary lmao. x
Fantastic bit of mine
As wey can see Panasonic v800 Is outstanding
propper sick
great!
Great one Tom and Gaz drove past it and walked up to it never got to go in, I know the landowner well, It was last worked in the 50s 60s for spar hence all the rotten timber from that time and wriggly tin great to see the carvings on the wall
Good to see you both back exploring, that stope was epic.
Hello from Denmark
Hello! Wow, its amazing that people form all over the world watch our exploring videos!
Hi Tom & Gary, so cool seeing all of those crystals, that first tin you found was a Mackerel tin but it looked really new so obviously someone was exploring and thought that littering was the right thing to do. I hope you've settled in okay now, it's such a stressful thing to do but nice once it's all unpacked and the way you want things. I enjoyed this one because there was so much to see both inside and out. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Yes the move came right to the last minute - trying to catch it before the stamp duty change. All done and sorted now with just a few loose ends to finish off, was really stressful mainly with queries on our old house but thankfully all got sorted out in the last few hours. Massive relief!
@@MineExploration Good I'm glad it all got sorted, now you can look forward to your marriage with no worries. x
Interesting underground scenes...I know where the mine is and would never have thought there was so much to see. Thanks for sharing Cheers Alistair 👍
Thanks for watching, appreciated! :)
@28:35 you walked past some graffiti mate 😊😊😊
Ah yes, I cut a lot out of this video to keep the time down, so I mysteriously managed to fill two 128GB cards ??? (must have left the camera in 10bit mode from something else I'd been doing previously - it eats data big style)
@@MineExploration sky q boxes have removable 1tb hard drives in them, useful for extra storage 😉
Welcome back!! missed you guys.
Thank you!!
Could you dig the front of the adit out and drain the place?
Great review..
Best review.. Is the mic socket stereo?
Really, you were getting married? Congrats :)
Aye Lol, not married on that day but we're having the banns read so have to attend our local church for 6 weeks beforehand. (the same day that we visited the mine - we got up early!) Getting married in the summer after 14 years of practicing, didn't like to rush and all that.
Another shaft going down....yep, my torch is stuck down that bugger lol
Hello from Denmark
Hello! Thanks for visiting our channel!
Took some bloody finding, that first adit !! But over a few Saturdays, and after walking many miles, searching everywhere from Marlbeck to Snaisgill, on both sides of the beck, I finally found it....... less than 40metres away from where I'd parked the car every time !! 😳. I also found some very obscure adits in the area that I bet very few visit 😉. Cheers, Graeme 🙂
Welcome back Tom & Gary, I've missed your wit Tom lol. Congratulations on your upcoming Wedding, my invite hasn't arrived yet 😂 Seriously though, I hope you and Shona, (sorry if I spelt it wrong) have a fantastic day and an awesome marriage. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Great that one Tom Glad you two are back I've missed your vids
Thanks Keith, loads has happened over the last year and time has been a real issue for me to get out and make these vids. We actually made this one three times over about 6 weeks until I realised what the problem was with the camera setup - I have been using the GH5 for other stuff in the mean time so changed all my underground settings from what I remember, but all seems to be working again now (though CZcams keeps saying processing for some reason?). Thank you for watching and staying with the channel! Appreciated!
Bugged me, they are back! Time to our a fresh glass of wine and watch!
Thanks Steve! This last year has been a nightmare of stuff going on and time has been a real issue for me to get out and make these videos. Everything has been a bit of a rush lately so a lot of things had to take a back seat for a while.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video thanks
