Dont take stuff out of mines, leave them there for others to enjoy them as you did. A good explore and documentation, an amazing mine. Thanks for sharing.
@@jordanmeekerremoving things from mines is a touchy subject. Although there is no hard rule that you can’t take things. All depends on many many factors
@@jordanmeeker a fair question but it’s what would be regarded as normal Protocol. It’s normally regarded as very bad form if abandoned mine explorers remove things from a mine. Regard as like a time capsule - a museum - with things left exactly where they were last left by the miners who worked that claim. I think the only exception would be if there were extremely rare documents for example, that if they became buried through a collapse, would be a tragic loss in terms of the history of the mine. Another fair point which I see someone else has already posted - is if some items are not removed from an old mine (and put into museums) they could ultimately end up being lost forever. However, I believe that there are lots of mining items in museums already.
Excellent footage and descriptions as your traveling through the mine, amazing the items you found along the way, super cool, I like it when the modern explorers leave some type of dated marker/signature, who's to say a year from now the entrance caves in or gets closed off and is only opened several decades later and those explorers see a date then they know a range of when it was last explored, you guys are really making history for the future nice video
Very interesting mine. Intriguing artefacts, thank you for sharing! I don’t think there is just a bit of sulfides in the ore but enough to accumulate and irritate ones sinuses. The black iron sulfide in the water after the collapsed raise would point to that too. Not sure, underground my nose clogs up and it isn’t due to mildew or the cold, I blame it on the atmosphere 😉
In the antique engine world, Weber is a rare name and that one would be highly desirable to a top shelf collector. I say top shelf because I'd call this a 'regional' engine from a smaller company that didn't have the distribution networks compared to the likes of John Deere, Fairbanks-Morse or International Harvester back in the day, so their engines are not as wide spread out west and hence rarity. The deep pocket collectors pay high dollar for engines like that. BTW, I just got back from Cripple Creek and two days of poking around. Had a great time.
Well, you saying, um all the time was distracting, but it was a great video. I really enjoyed it and I love the narration, you explain what different parts are on the machines that you find and some of the geology, etc. So thank you very much for going extra mile with that information. ❤ New subscriber.
