“TVR Exploring”
I often use old topographic maps out in the field when scouting abandoned mines to explore… As you know, I’ve been doing this for many years and (until this mine) whenever I have come across a mine marked “Inactive” on a historical topo map, it has never been accessible. To be marked…

Have you ever dropped your camera into that muck that you have to wade through in some of these mines? Particularly like this one when you don't have your waders to fight off the freezing water?
I like the blue and purple minerals , is beautiful
I follow you for a while but this mine is definitiv the oldest you walk in.
This drift looks like early 1700 when not older the pickmarks and the profile absolut amazing.
It looks like they startet picking and than they startet blasting absolut amazing .
Thanks for your effords to bring this beautifull Video to us.
Glück Auf and all the best yours Frank Galetzka
Well done! Freaking hardcore going in rubber sox! I imagine that hump in there musta been the determining factor.
Hi Justin, the things you put yourself through for us lol, you are a braver person than I that's for sure.
I'm looking forward to pt 2, thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
In English mining terms, that's a "Coffin Level" due to it being the perfect shape for across the shoulders width and height.
That funk and air bubbles are what cause bad air in a mine. You need a air sensor to stay safe.
That mud reminded me of a fella that was drilling a water well, they hit water about 150 feet down and while drilling down for a resevior punched into a mine shaft. That became his septic tank.
What a great find well done thanks for sharing all those hand borers and old picks no jackhammers in there matey this is very old we call them coffin levels in Derbyshire they cut the trail levels small to find the vein
Nice tour of the mine
Do you think a mine with such narrow passages is less likely to cave than one with wider addits?
old of a mine is probably because back then the normal man was not tall as today. thank you for all your effort and success for all of to discover with you. many people would love to be there, but do to health reasons could only dream about.
Awesome artifacts! Those miners were the real men of steel. I can’t even imagine how much work that had to be.
Wading through the mine without boots. You da man!
Damn Justin, stay out of death traps!
I can't believe the effort you put in to do this one for us, J. That water…cold as heck, no waders, then the stoop over…what a task. It was very interesting to say the least. Staring at those pic marks, thinking about the men who labored to do that work, stooped over in near darkness, working their tails off, convinced the payoff was there..
Looking forward to part 2.
You had great echo the whole way. That was a yucky floor tho lol
It boggles my mind , to try to visualize the lengths those Old miners went to in order to hand pick & jack out all that material in this particular section here in your video. And also what you went through personally to video this. Finding those tools just left there kinda makes you wonder what happened?? Did they get to that face & realize winter was upon them & they needed to abort & return in spring only to maybe have trouble returning? Or money to continue run out ? Or……. ? ? Hopefully they made enough money from what WAS mined to live on in whatever time frame period that was . You got some big balls Justin making your way that far into what sure to me looked like a “ Death -trap” mine , what with all the muck & ground-fall and water . Maybe that brownish gooey mess was the decomposition of the guy or guys before you ….😬😏😆. Thanks as usual for your narrative & lengths you go through to bring us this kind of content. Be safe man…. & looking forward to part 2 😎👍
wow
You sir, are a legend : ) Thanks for taking one for the team. Really cool old mine. I think that is the first time I have seen the hammers. Imagine how many times that thing got swung : o
That hammer was worth your dirtiness 😂
Don't they say mud baths and cold water are good for the health? 🤪.
So, being interested in old mechanical stuff, which of your explorations would have the "largest" amount of mining mechanical relics?
Thanks for making all these videos
Wonderful explore……you are one very impressive explorer…….thanks for effort.
ABOVE & BEYOND dedication doing the recon considering your footwear situation at the time.
Kurde, ludzie nie macie zwykłych kaloszów?
I’ve fallen into the same trap before, thinking you’ll not need kit then you end up kicking yourself when you get there ;). We were in a hand dug mine today (video Saturday), always amazes me the commitment and sheer amount of work required. I don’t envy you in that kit, it was snowing outside the mine we were in and even with wet socks, took ages for my feet to warm up afterwards.
You are absolutely crazy, the best kind of crazy.
You took one for the team, hope you didn't catch anything from that nasty water.
A interesting old mine, a small dug out one, and one too get cold feet in lol literally, nice hand tools aswel, not much blasting going on in there, Looking forward to part 2, thnx Justin.
Could you feel any rail under there?
What are they mining?
Absolute golden episode! Hahaha. You went from one of the coolest underground views ever at 6:36 to absolute misery. Sensational effort. There were some pretty sinister looking bacterial blooms just as you found that "crust" I hope you had no cuts or abrasions. Top job.
Ebenezer.
Incredible artifacts! Your determination is admirable as always👍👍
Maybe it was the mountains midgets
That's definitely one to be meticulously documented! I've never seen a tool pile like that ever! That's exactly wheŕe they left off. Obviously, something must have happened. They wouldn't have just walked away and left their tools behind like that. If any mine deserves to be researched, it's that one. Could you imagine actually putting names to men who used those tools to dig out the countless tons of rock making that mine.
I can't wait to see part two. I usually spend most of the time looking at the mineralization and structure of the rock when watching any mine exploration videos. But this place is just so historically intact. It deserves to be documented with everything in situe. Im really glad that didn't move anything from where it was placed. If only people would have that same thought of preservation exploring mines would be more like visiting a museum. Amazing video! Thank you for not turning back. You really took one for the team. But damn did you ever score!
13:07 i`d have shat my pants
