I Dropped A Camera Down An Abandoned Well And Couldn't Believe What I Saw.

This is the coolest hand dug well I have ever explored. This well served an old homestead that was long gone and probably abandoned around the time of the American Civil War or earlier. The well has a great supply of cool, clear water and was dug partially is solid rock. If you look, you van see where the well diggers hand drilled the solid limestone to blast the hole deeper. Seeing how the well was designed and constructed was very surprising. As a bonus, in the bottom of the well was a whole community of isopods!

One thing that you can say is they built things to last back then.
Can you imagine the labor it took to dig it and stack all that rock!
Amazing! Thanks Beau!
Happy travels!
Beeps.

The whole time I was thinking “boy, somebody worked their ass off building that well”.

[LaurenOliviArt]

That frog was so cute!!!! He was like “You shall enter at your own risk”

7:54 Interesting even in very restricting environments like the bottom of a well with practically no sunlight, you can just find life just doing it’s thing.

That's frigging amazing that some people built that well all the way down to the cave system . It's still hasnt collapsed either.! I am stunned by the craftiness and fortitude.

[edwardjonesjonesfleming]

Coolest thing I've ever seen thus far, and for the wood structures to still be there in the beautiful condition is astounding.

I can't imagine the amount of physical effort it would take to dig and line that well.

It’s sad when graveyards become forgotten and eventually lost.

That frog was just like
“Bro no way. I’ve gotta tell Linda about this one.”

[joshuawiggins]

If you put one of those scary screaming clips in this video you would give half your subscribers a heart attack.

That is an amazing well. It looked like the lowest portion was excavated through solid Limestone. Cave potential? Then there was the wooden shoring to support the dry laid rock lining. Beautiful! Loved the frog, and the leggy critters at the bottom. Yes, coolest well I've seen in a long while!

Did anyone else notice the engineering of that well them timbers holding up the walls is old as the graves and still working he even used cross section diagonal timbers to keep the well from caving in I bet you that was a nice homestead

[jphillips]

You should add in a commentary with the well videos of you explaining the well. how they would stack the rocks, how they built the well and so on.

[markreap]

That is the coolest hand dug well I've ever seen.

[daviddeborde]

The frog was like, "Admission fee, twenty bugs!"

3:31 when he actually starts lowering the camera

For me, the best about this is that you explore alone, like I do too. It keeps you focused and enhances the experience. Great video.
