Deep Exploration Into Abandoned Tin Mine Workings. 

Haha crazy isn’t it. It’s locked to keep the kiddies out but then unless you knew it was there it’s not something very obvious

Yup, these are some of the most amazing videos on RU-vid, quite why they don’t have millions of subscribers truly escapes me. 🍾❤️

A lot of the protections are relatively recent. I remember going around with my dad in the 90s, lots of them only had a barbed wire fence.

Cheers Andrew, always good to hear from professional miners 👍 glad you are liking the vids .

It probably goes down another couple hundred meters or more below the water level too 😮

@@BenoCam , Impressive.

What about the work of removing all that stone?

Sounds awesome . Good to hear from you. Stay safe 🇺🇦

@@BenoCam you too, bro, stay safe.

Is it very hot down that mine with all the radiation?

There, the cold is combined with the heat. The lower, the greater the air pressure. The lower it is, the more stuffy a person is, a person begins to sweat, he becomes hot from minimal physical exertion and work. A mine is a cellar in which there is always dampness and cold, there is water everywhere, the water there is always ice and the air temperature is from about 11 degrees Celsius to 13-14 degrees. I always dress warmly when I go to the mine, if the depth is more than 300 meters, then I take a rubber suit with me because of the water that always pours on the miners' heads, if I work where the water is not pouring, then I undress a little because I start to sweat due to the high air pressure and artificial ventilation.@@spidos1000

I think the shed used to house ventilation equipment as this was used as emergency acces and ventilation for nearby Geevor mine as late as the 90s

@@BenoCam thanks for your replys to my questions & comments Ben. 🥰❤ keep safe.

Haha well it’s always entertaining although it’s a bit of work blanking out all the F works in the edit 🤣

@@BenoCam lol

🤣👍👍

* basement wall that had

Cheers Neil glad you enjoyed. The first set of ladders were around 50m down then that second shaft was another 90m or so , maybe even as much as 150m total at one point 😮 can’t get much further down because of the water table

If you look on my Facebook page (Ben o cam productions) you will see one of my last posts we had a look there, but that’s very deep and very wet !

yea man. but totally fascinating. @@BenoCam

There are so many that a lot are not properly documented or written about. Be very careful if they are totally unknown, I only make videos of the good ones… many we have gone down to find piles of rotting sheep/aspesdoes or other things that are really bad to land on top of 😮

@@BenoCam it’s two adits I’ve found not shafts, not even looked inside them yet as I didn’t have a torch at the time and one needs some draining, one between Wadebridge and padstow and the other near advent by the camel

Yes the two are often found together. It’s the edges of the granite where the quartz vines are when the other mineralisation’s occur. The water dripping down through the copper meeting the air is what’s caused the green and blue staining. Copper is often found in tin mines but not always at levels that would make getting it out economically viable. In a lot of Cornish mines copper was found shallow with tin often being found deeper down in the same ground.

Yes I think so , seems to be draining workings further on

🤣💪

We have moved on from feet and inches now and use the metric system !

@@BenoCam I'm glad that you do, feets and inches are difficult to understand from other parts of the world. Cheers from France! Many interesting mines await you here, I've been close to some in Brittany and in the Nord of course, but never went inside.

nope

A heshe?
