I should have titled this video "Big massive shaft" ha ha I'm such a crazy. I wasn't entirely on my own for this explore, my pal was topside, so if I had of been in trouble I would have been found. DO NOT GO EXPLORING ABANDONED MINES FOLKS! I cannot stress how dangerous this is, instant death can await you!
Sorry about the knocky noises on the audio, this Gopro 5 picks up every vibration, gotta fix that somehow.

I do not recommend anyone exploring these abandoned places, they are very dangerous, we explore so you don't have to!
We do not break and enter, we do not steal and we do not vandalise. We take only pictures and leave only footprints.

Wooooarrrr! Nice find man! Some cool features down there, the blue and greens are minerals relating to copper, I see them a lot in the mines down here in Cornwall. Watch out for them flooded shafts on the sides of the tunnels, usually a false wooden floor goes across the other side of them, often hidden under the rocks and dirt that have fallen over the years, be aware they could just give way sending you down hundreds of feet :( Always good to have someone with you inside the mine, just incase something did happen. Great footage of the explore, I expect you can google more info on the workings on the surface too, I expect it was someones project to reopen the mine or dig out further sections. So, we going to see more mine explores in the near future? :) Keep up the good work!

Cornish Mine Explorer ha ha 😀 thanks man, awesome comment! I was pretty scared on my own and definitely not brave enough to take any risks. I was sure the second shaft I got to had a false floor, I wasn't too happy about that bit. I would like to go back with some waders and explore the other tunnel👌 If I can find others that are safe enough I will definitely explore them, in my area it was all coal mines and very dangerous 😨 thanks again mate I really appreciate it 🖒

I was watching a show about mines in Death Valley on Netflix. Apparently somewhere there is a tunnel that goes on for miles, and leads to this area where there supposedly Gold just all over the place. Anyway, there were three exploring the mine, and there was nobody talking and it was being recorded. On the recording when played back there is a noise....they had a device that played back slowly what the noise was and there was a voice before the noise that said, “Watch Out”. It was kind of spooky. Loved the video, thanks.

Might wanna take an air meter with you in the mines you go into.... Never know, it could save your arse!! Keep up the vids for the ones that have roots in the area but probably never get the chance to see in person! Thanks for what you do!!

The Romans ran off with most of it but there were mines in more recent time like Vigra Mine, Bontddu, Gwynfynydd, Dolgellaum, Clogau to name but a few all around the Dolgellau Gold Belt. The last the Gwynfynydd mine closed in 1999 as it was worked out. Large deposits have since been found in Ireland making any remaining Welsh gold uneconomic.

You never go down any mines alone, espcially when you have no knowledge of what you're doing & you have no knowledge whatsoever! It's just stupid & dangerous & if something happened other would have to put their lifes at risk to get you out!

If it's dangerous going down mines and you're telling bus not to do it why are you going down mines? I 'live' in North Wales I've been down loads of mines and you're right it is instant death, I died instantly the first mine I ever went down. I suppose you're wondering how I've visited all the other mines, supernatural effort that's how. Also the old timber propping the thing up is not. They put timbers like that as a crude device to check for movement/subsidence in the adits.
