Wow. I'm surprised, you can see remarkably well. There's a lot of sticks and debris down there considering it was "sealed"

Yeah, the water was clear and had no smell. The debris had to have gotten in there when it was not capped.

"dangling the camera on a rope gives us no control. We need a pole or something. The mound has a pear shape and we cannot get to the sides using a rope."

Exactly.... remember I suggested earlier using 10 ga. - 12 ga. household wiring to tape / mount camera on? This was so you could turn camera around (more) under control. Now a pole at the extreme depth required would be best to go left and right outside of top opening's diameter due to "pear" shape... duh. Did you drop a weighed line from top to see how deep and measure?

Good job thus far.... Please keep at it. Obtain a powerful magnet. Attach it to a strong "line". Then see if anything magnetic is down there also. Bamboo poles can't cost much. So attach the camera with a lifeline attached also and send back down. Great start thus far buddy... keep at it. Best wishes..... Brad

Check out this GHOST figure about 40 minutes deep in this undocumented cave I found. Left side (red circle). Can you see the mouth, left ear, nose, eye, cheek bone and maybe a hairline? I was actually trying to photo the green circle. I was interested in WHAT DID THESE 5 HORIZONIAL LINES this deep in the cave? When I got home the figure on the left (red circle) showed up. My buddy pointed it out to me.

There is NOTHING there..... nothing!!! And I mean if we crawled back there this figure is NOT THERE but those horizontal lines are!!!

Yeah, heavy wiring would have helped a lot. I was looking at aluminium conduit today for the next visit. It's a 3 foot opening at the top and probably 16 feet or more at the bottom.

Yea, I think the next step for me would be magnet or a large treble hook on a strong fishing line. I think the magnet would be more likely to pull up something interesting, but the treble hook would help you to clean some of those limbs (or at least what look like limbs) out to get a better view of things down there.

Keep those pics and vids coming when you get them!!

I wouldn't use fishing line, nylon boat rope would be better imho

I guess I should have clarified that I have a catfishing pole with 250# spectra line on it for these types of adventures.... but yea, regular old 15# mono would nod work well...

Gotcha, just be careful with those super braids etc. I have seen them lop off fingers like a warm knife through butter

Are those pieces of something towards the end of the video? It doesn't look organic, like a sheet of something.

It looks to me like a flat piece of granite laying on the ground.
There are pieces of something that look like cloth in the raw video. I'll make a clip.

Hard to know for sure, but I see a lot of sheets like that made of algae when I'm ice fishing. Granted, that water gets sunlight, where as I doubt yours does with a cement cap.

I've been following this post for about 6 months, and I've been waiting for the photos and video too… Well for some reason when I click to view the videos, I get a message that says "This video is private." Is there another way that I can view it?

Can ya see 'em now?
