When I was young my best friend and I got into exploring abandoned coal and iron mines in North Alabama, in the 1960's. Some of the mines were civil war era. Most had been closed since the 30's.
We scared the crap out of ourselves on several occasions. Some of the mines had ghost and or monster stories attached to them. We went deep into the old Virginia mines in Hueytown Alabama, also civil war era. We didn't understand the dangers so well, at the time. Lucky, we were.

Hahahaha @ 4:16. i do the same thing in mines. if i was alone i would be much worse. im always saying "Stop, stop moving, did u hear that???" ive never seen one that wide before though. never watch the movie Descent before entering a mine.

These are very modern workings designed for wheeled vehicles not rail,this looks like it dates from mid 20thC,when was this mine last worked?When the old men mined they only mined the bare minimum of rock,so workings tend to be one man wide,tight,twisty,with signs of rails.They wouldnt dig tunnels of these dimensions.Only when mechanisation and wheeled drilling rigs and dumpers came in were tunnels required of this size,I'd love to go to that mine,it looks as though it goes alot further!

man that is cool, when i come back to the mainland, im gonna head out west and go mine hunting,
do you need a permit or something to explore these things, i just dont wanna get in trouble for trespassing or something like that
Nope, no permit needed. It's best to find mines, though, that are on BLM land. Once in a while you come across an abandoned mine that someone actually still owns and works in from time to time. If they are there when you're there, they wouldn't be too happy.
