Raising the 5' steel buoy at the Tilly Foster Mine, 6-17-20

Interesting day yesterday. This video might be more of a "how to" instructional segment on rope and lift bag work. The 5' steel buoy landed at 170' on Saturday, when a thin rope broke. Being concerned that it would be right in the middle of our search grid, or damaging all the work in progress, I went down to investiagte with tools in hand. Low and behold, it landed right where I figured it would, according to the map of the search grid in progress. Just outside quadrant #1, but it would be in the way for a complete search of the zone it sat, very close to the lower collapsed platform. Using a large lift bag, it was raised to the surface, no harm, no foul, it cleared the pontoon platform (my biggest worry, other than it failing and crashing down upon me) The buoy was scootered over the the 325' spot, rope cut......and Bob's my uncle, it joins it's two smaller sisters at 325'. It must be an interesting lunar landscape down there now with the impact craters.
