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

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.

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!

Looks familiar, cumbria?

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.

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 ❤

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

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 ❤

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 👍

@28:35 you walked past some graffiti mate 😊😊😊

Welcome back!! missed you guys.

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 :)

Another shaft going down....yep, my torch is stuck down that bugger lol

Hello from Denmark

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 ❤
