   Great to see someone actually carrying a Geiger counter. But seems you didn’t care to show us the background radiation inside and how intense the radiation is from any hot spot.

   Two hazards I see as the most significant; dust particles, calls for gloves and n95 dust mask. Second is breathing in Radon gas, a product of Uranium radioactive decay. Only way to protect in a practical sense is to limit the time of exposure; which is the universal protective measure.

   How odd, just checked your channel to see if I have missed any vids and boom this pops up. Those green pieces shine bright.

    I’ve been in a few U mines in E/central UT. Very similar. I saw more yellowcake(?), bright yellow fragile powder growths, bright green fluorescence @ 365nm.

    Very interesting mine, geology, & information #Oidium45 buddy! Hard rock mining and the difficultly of it always amazes me. Love the UV light show too. Cheers and HH, Aaron

    Great video, I took two geology field trips to that area back in the 90s but we never did the black light.

    Come to UT and enjoy a nude soak of Radon gas in a mine. Then refresh in the west desert Natural Radon Hot Spring steam. Beautiful experience and so healthy.

    yooo i don’t know if you noticed but it looks like the radiation is affecting the video quality! the footage once you get inside the mine is a little grainier compared to similar videos on your channel.

    Being that I live in Tehachapi, I know right where you are. Interesting video. What I didn’t know is what they had been mining in that old mine.
