Archaeological Discoveries and Techniques

Kevin Hoagland and Chris Hegg return to an ancient mine to check their ventilation system, which is crucial for diluting carbon dioxide. They prepare and execute a blast to clear a wall, revealing new areas. Post-blast, they discover potential artifacts and call in archaeologists Lauren and Jessica Huddleston for analysis. The findings suggest significant historical value. Further exploration is planned using a snake camera to navigate the newly discovered tunnels.
