This was a rare treat to find abandoned & nestled in the mountains! A Mule-Barn! Also, the "Lamp House" was found with the "Check Tag" Board!
Hello, & welcome to my channel. Please read the full disclaimer to this video. American Industrial History is my passion, it is my one calling in life. I absolutely love the historical anthracite coal mining era of Pennsylvania. I hold a bachelor's degree in History through Bloomsburg University, also a teaching degree through them (I do not use my teaching degree), I have also completed a good chunk of my master's degree with a concentration in American History specifically. I have not finished it yet because of finances! With this said, I have extensively researched the anthracite mining history of our region through not just print, but also physically as evident from this video. I started in 2003/2004 & it has become an expertise harnessed over decades (a life's work). There's always something new to learn, so please feel free to like & subscribe. FULL SERIES OF DISCLAIMERS IS BELOW, PLEASE CONSULT!
This mine like many others, has been bat gated. With this said however, YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME POST A LOCATION, A PICTURE OF A MINE (BOTH UNSEALED OR EVEN BAT GATED ONES) OR GIVE DIRECTIONS TO ANYONE & I MEAN ANYONE. I will not post the mine operation name, the CITY where it is, I will not mention the COUNTY, NOR will I post what particular Anthracite Coal Field this is in (ex. Northern or Southern, etc.) With this also said, I formerly explored abandoned mines, I no longer do, everything you see here is "past tense" with old clips. When I took these videos, I had no forethought to think they'd be on YouTube, so if they don't meet your expectations, this may be why. I didn't plan on these being professional grade, as I am a photographer, not videographer. ALSO, NO ONE POST LOCATIONS OF THIS MINE (if it is recognized) OR ANY OTHER MINE. IF YOU KNOW OF ANOTHER MINE, PLEASE DO NOT POST IT ON HERE, CHANCES ARE I ALREADY HAVE SEEN IT TO BE HONEST! I will have to DELETE any comments mentioning locations or even if you ask for locations, these too will be deleted. Sorry for the drama, but there is ENDLESS drama that goes with this hobby. I can write a novel and produce a miniseries on the drama that comes from attempting to be a historian, crawling into a hole in the ground that is abandoned & sharing the history with those that want to learn. It's ridiculous. Scroll down for FULL DISCLAIMER, PLEASE:
DISCLAIMER: Stay Out & Stay Alive!! As you can see from this video, abandoned mines are treacherous. I've worked with the Pa. DEP/Pa. Game Commission (civilian non-employee reporting dangerous mines) over the last 10 plus years to bat gate mines, backfill open vertical shafts that were threats to people & animals, etc.
STAY OUT & STAY ALIVE! I NO LONGER ACTIVELY EXPLORE ABANDONED ANTHRACITE COAL MINES. I HAVE NEARLY 2 DECADES OF EXPERIENCE AND AM TRAINED, HAVE OXYGEN, FLAME SAFETY LAMPS, MAPS, MEDICAL TRAINING FROM THE MILITARY, ETC. YOU CAN EASILY GET HURT OR KILLED IN OLD MINES! Black damp can kill you in mere moments & it is something you cannot smell or see, without training & proper equipment, you will succumb to this. No locations will be given or discussed anywhere on my channel; I will delete them if comments as such arise. I always carried a closed-circuit oxygen self-rescuing apparatus that miners carry. Always a had a ridiculous number of batteries & multiples of flashlights themselves, glow sticks, hard hat, tourniquet, maps of the specific mine, a safety party on standby should I not come out at a predetermined time, etc. I kept my explorations as professional as one possibly could. I also had an extensive knowledge as to how & why miners did what they did underground. I knew what could possibly happen to the roof/walls before it happened in a sense. My geology knowledge was something I worked hard at & most people could miss what I often saw thus resulting in collapses, etc. SO PLEASE STAY OUT & STAY ALIVE!
THANKS FOR WATCHING & ENJOY!
