Man Frank - that's a lot of work - always amazed at your efforts - Maybe rig you up a clamp system to anchor the back of that cart to the rail before you dump it? Hate to see you get launched..... KEEP DIGGING.....
So very happy for you two as you are able to continue to progress towards the end of the first level. Looks like your persistence has paid off! You two are just a couple of amazing folks! Thanks for sharing all your adventures!
It was great to finally get to see your mine in person Frank and Sharon. It was a once in a lifetime experience for us and hopefully we’ll be able to come down again soon!
Can we just appreciate the man/woman power going into clearing this mine, as well as clearing and building the museum site. You guys are old souls for sure with such drive! You are a dieing breed!
You two and helpers along the way, have put in alot of effort in clearing the adet to your mine. You've made great progress from the time of your last video. Happy for you both. Amazed that you took on this challenge Frank, but you're the "type" that needs to stay busy at something. Thanks for filming for section by section progress and taking us along.
Man Sharon kicks azz on the shoveling Frank. She was like a woman possessed😵💫. Showing everyone how it's done indeed lol. Awesome Vid as always Frank. Can't wait to see what's next. 🤪
Many thoughts come to mind. Way too many to put into words here. It's all about setting goals and achieving them. What an amazing journey! It's still beginning. So much energy used. So much yet to do. Who would try this? Sharon, Frank and friends. Many thanks to all!
@@exploringabandonedmines You guys are setting a good example for all of us. No matter the circumstances, follow your dream. All of you have awakened the dreams of many. Life isn't a rehearsal. Press on!
Congratulations on finally getting all the muck, loose rock, and lumber out of the stope! Milestone accomplished!! And construction on the mine building is progressing well! and will be beautiful when finished. Be safe and well! Thanks for anther cool video!!
Very nice you two ! Sure glad to see all of the hard work , starting to reveil the profit ! 😁 Very excited to see what will treasures you will come upon next ! ✔️😎
You have come a long way, please be careful. I really admire you two. Ñot afraid to do what you have to. The building is looking good. Getting further in Yankee Boy., See you next time.
@@westcoast8562 Oh no 😱 that’s terrible!!! 420, 320, 520….what does it matter??? Frank and Sharon are doing an incredible job over there and the way Sharon shovels into that skip, is mighty impressive. I don’t see what you’re trying to get at West Coast? What is you’re agenda? Even if there is a miscount, so what, it matters not. If it is 420, then it is still a WOW and all credit to them (and the volunteers) for doing it.
@@g.a.v.d 420 is a magical number just like Frank and Sharon. I encourage you to find and test the magic. I forsee another 420 loads that this amazing work crew will bust through in record time! I'll be heading to the mine soon and I'll be sure to bring a huge bag of magic....as I see there is a renewed focus on safety. Safety breaks are an important part of a complete health and safety system. In fact I could be a safety rep at that site!!! What a place! Under rated and viewed share them on some huge channels to give back a little to these hard working folks
Sharon is an awesome mucker. The progress you all have made is incredible. The wood stuck in the ore car was funny when you're shaking it all around. That was a riot. Just when you guys thought the tunnel was clear, oh no, another collapse. You'll get through it, I know we can do it. Looking good y'all, take care and have fun, shits n giggles. Love u guys.
CONGRATULATIONS EAM on getting beyond the collapse. It's amazing to see you guys at work and how you're pushing forward with the site. It's interesting to see how you overcome some of the situations that occur, like the wood getting stuck in Tippy. Oh wow! You did it, that's awesome, so cool. So happy for you. The volunteers seemed right at home,, doing a great job. Thank you Frank and Sharon for sharing your epic journey with us. Love and respect ❤👷🏻♂⛏👷🏻♀⛏ ❤🤩🤘 xx
@@jimbobkirkwood828 we do. down here in otago anyway, its just that most are either collapsed or covered up to stop people going in them or are just not known about.
A Mucker and a Battery Loco would hit the spot now IMO, Frank....Great video, it brought memories of the start of my mining career after a 43 year stint, I'm retired now.
Into the unknown. Frank, you definitely have experience of a miner, farmer, and logger all packed into one. Sharon, you are one hell of a trooper. You make an exceptional pair. Now, given all the new mucking that must be done and more that probably is beyond that, maybe it's time to setup the compressor and show us the mucker in action. Also, don't you have a timber car. Definitely will be able to set in a turnout now for passing. How much would it cost for the air pipe? Just think of all of it you've seen out boonytromping.
Eric was up to help get the compressor running. We are waiting for a custom exhaust for it. It might be more work getting airline 550 feet back that building an ore chute and letting gravity do the work!
1 milestone down and a new one to go. Sharon reminds me of my wife in those muck boots, shorts and a hoodie. As always stay safe and stay strong out there
Hello Frank hello Sharon It is good to see the Progress you Made in the mine. I am very sorry that i can not join you to help you a while. The cirumstances to day are not good for me to come to Canada it is nearly impossible you know what i mean . But i think and i believe that some day it will be possible again and than i will join you and if it is only to check the Bills of the visitors . Take care have a good weekend and a beautifull New week Greetings from the Harzmountains and the little village Weddingen . Yours Frank Galetzka
Awesome. Well done Frank & Sharon. And the others who helped too. "Where there's muck, there's brass" so the saying goes! Stay safe in your excavations. Best Wishes from the UK🇬🇧.
Thanks for taking us on this journey with Sharon and yourself in this exploration and restoration of the Yankee Boy, your enthusiasm and excitement come across in your vids Frank. Wish I could be there helping out, good luck with the rest of the exploration Guys.
Step by step, inch by inch! It's almost like you need to move mountains to get to where you want to be! Thank you, Frank & Sharon, and your crew. You made it look so easy, just kidding, Great Job!
Finally you're rewatching yourselves. Frank & Sharon you guys are in fit shoveling, pushing, climbing, & ECT owning a mine takes. Blessings to have help. Can't wait to see all the mine tunnels.
Man the video production is just amazingly good! You guys are hitting on all 8 cylinders! What a huge task clearing that collapse out was! EPIC! Loving this adventure more than EVER! #MYBGA !!!
You guys have done a mountain of work and it’s paid off big time, I’m looking forward to seeing more of your mine, hopefully I’ll make it out there one day.
Oh what I would have given for a mucker or LHD on that job! One of those little JCI half-yard machines would be perfect if you didn't have rail there. My hat goes off to you on this one; I'm rehabbing a mine myself but fortunately we don't have any failed stopes to deal with.
Hi Sharon and Frank. Great progress, you have some wonderful helpers. When do think that lighting could be installed and a more mechanized muck removal system? Take care all, Andy, UK
Congratulations! You and Sharon are the very epitomes of persistence and grit. I greatly admire and respect you both! Sometimes, furniture makers and wood carvers like to acquire really old wood, due to the high quality and density. Perhaps some of the timbering that you pulled out of the Yankee Boy could be suitable for that sort of reuse? ♻️
Great to watch you guys get through there. If the kind of finds are a hint of things to come, I'd say there's some good things to look forward to. Maybe another collapse, but also means more trail/road improvements coming!
Hell yeah that's awesome you guys made it deeper in the Yankee boy!!! I can't wait to make it up there to meet my heroes and see the totally wickedly bad ass Yankee boy!!!!!!! Keep it up Frank and Sharron you both are my favorite mine explorers♡♡♡♡♡♡♡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
