Massive Abandoned Mine with Lots of Equipment Left Behind 

For one children when you pan to first go explore/ trespass there looked to be fairly recent tire tracks... FAFO you`re lucky you didnt get caught or stumble into a massive grow operation like they have before or meth labs where theyll kill on site or worse some serial killers house of pain... think before you go exploring... think of all the possibilities that could go wrong you kids are still wet behind the ears and don't know the first thing about exploring abandoned places especially heavy operation places like that and in sneakers by the way wtf proper ppe duh... No cabon monoxide detectors or bird in a cage no masks gloves glasses boots ntn or hard hat you guys are geniuses... just give up that life b4 you or your friends get hurt killed or put in jail... Peace

Great place to explore!. Hope to see more of it

Just stumbled across this video from reddit. I know a decent amount about the mine. I work for a company that is one of the leading competitors for the company that owns that mine (No, I'm not gonna say the company on here lol. I recognized a couple things in the video but I'm not saying what since I don't want to unintentionally rat you guys out). Here are a few additional details: - The control room (@3:15) is a crusher operator shack. It was mounted at a dump hopper that fed into a crusher, that then dumped the stone onto the belts. The switches and knobs controlled the belts and crusher. The joysticks controlled the "rock picker" (hydraulic hammer) that was used to break apart boulders that were too big to feed through the crusher. - The bags on the pallets (@4:00) were likely rock dust, or if this mine is close to their kiln operation, it could be castable (which is used on the lining of the kilns, but needs to be stored in low humidity). - The maintenance room (@5:40) is the parts supply room for the maintenance shop. The maintenance shop is the area right outside of that room. - The large tarps lining certain walls (@8:15) are not for blocking off access specifically. They are for directing airflow. They do that so fresh air and exhaust flow in the same direction throughout the mine. - The machine on wheels (@8:25) that you talked about moving exhaust is pretty close to what you said. It's a portable fan that's used to help push/pull air through the mine. That all I got, I think. I would recommend getting a gas detector for when you go underground. Be sure it detects CO and O2. Detecting CH4 and NO2 are good to have, but not required. Anyways, cool video, guys. I look forward to checking out the other vids on your channel. Keep up the good work. 👍

Cool video, they are trespassing. Sometimes you have to do that when Urbexing, they are following the code.

Awesome video Ethan!

There’s a mine in Lyons ,Ks that’s Abandoned as well. Called Beaver mine I think is the name.

Great narration. Hope there's more video

Where is this?

Let me give you a tour of the mines let’s gooooo this is one of my spots!

What a great find!

How did y'all come across this place?? I'd be super interested in exploring it

Where is this located at?

Id say they had an over head crane that they used to load gian bags of rock dust. Not concrete just crushed limestone. Id say they also had a magnet that went over the transfer box on the belts. I cant believe they left all the switch controls. You were in the garage or motor barn. If you go back look at the roof to see if they had an overhead crane. The papers with peoples names was probably electricians list of equipment permisibility and maintenance. This is a beautiful mine

Got a lot of sticklers in this chat,

Where is this

I don’t know how often you guys explore places like this. But please make sure you have gas monitors of some sort.

Where is that??

I would probably get lost down there! Hope you left bread crumbs to find your way back out! :)

Used to work there

Please tell me there is going to be a part 2

What’s the loc I been to the hospital an the schools and seen ur RU-vid

Look up abandoned and forgotten places how he has proper PPE for exploring Mines if youre going to be doing stuff like this...

This is one of my favorite spots we call this one the “69 mine” It’s in the Kansas City area if anyone wants a tour and I have maps I can send you! Whoever made this video hit me up! I can give you a tour of mines in Kansas City way cooler than this one

perfect mine for a puppet show

That was a fun game of hide and seek

Is it easy to get lost in this?

Lafarge in sugar creek, Missouri?

Watch out for the Balrog. Once awakened, they are hard to beat.

Is this in sugar creek

wher was this at?

Is this the one by mlk blvrd?

You should never hike in without knowing why and, of course, permission, why did it close? Poisonous gasses? Crumbling? Safety first in caves and mines

This is amusing af.. teenagers in a cave LOL

You People Need to Stay Out Of These Mines...I know that mine...I can't believe it's not locked up...Lawsuit waiting to happen

Wait to these people get in legal trouble and they documented it all !

It is obvious you guys have no idea how to ensure your own safety while exploring an abandoned underground mine. The company that left this so easily accsesible is also to blame. You also obviouslyknow you are trespassing. If you were to get seriously injured or killed, the rescue/recovery efforts would take a significant abount of time to get to you, thats assuming you could actually contact someone to get help. I am surprised RU-vid has allowed this video to remain on here.
