Thanks Frank , Gly and hi Sharon!!!; )

[@totalrepawns]

hi Frank great to see you and Gly working together I enjoy both of your channels

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Cool, thanks

[@shelleyj6918]

Absolutely amazing how the miners dug all that out...mind boggling

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: I really enjoyed exploring that mine especially when we reached the bottom with all the timbering. Boy oh boy was I a chunk back then! Feels good to have lost some of that weight a year later. The mine we explored further to the west of this one has now been destroyed by open pit and heap leaching operations. Good thing we documented it when we did because it’s all gone.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

I have seen that many times. You see some artifacts or buildings and the next time you come back and there is nothing. Stuff is disappearing at an alarming rate.

[@mechanicman8687]

You’ve came a long way brother. I know what recovery is too but hey it’s great to see my two favorite explores together again

[@BIGBADWOOD]

WOW Always 5 star videos ... Thanks Frank and stay safe !

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks, you too!

[@barbararobinson7980]

Beautiful drone footage, gorgeous blue colours in the rock, and fun banter between you two. Nice tidy mine and excellent camera footage of a great explore. May have taken a while for you to edit the footage but it was worth the wait. Thank you Frank and Gly. Take care, stay safe. ❤️ 👍❤️ 👍

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Awesome, thank you!

[@joshuasteel2109]

Wow very cool you guys make a cool team

[@ericacherney3132]

Thank you for the tour today! We will have to come again.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Any time!

[@williamwintemberg]

Wow! My hands are still sweating! Big Mine! Nice Cart at the bottom of the decline. Great Video Frank and Gly!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks 👍

[@zs9372]

[@iainweller452]

Great video Frank and good to see you and Gly exploring mines together

[@robertmartin4821]

Thanks Frank, very interesting as usual!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you think so!

[@garybauer7574]

Wow love this Frank love your videos

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you like them!

[@volktales7005]

My Dad had a boat back in the late .70's, and he used to make trips across the line into the US. And always brought back a lot of that Olympia Beer. Still have some of those old style knitted beer hats made from those cans around somewhere...

[@jopos5082]

Awesome thank you guys

[@exploringabandonedmines]

You bet!

[@twinturbohenry]

Amazing explore! This is just the best channel!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Wow, thanks!

[@fredfarquar7679]

Frank, when you found that shaft flooded at the bottom, did you have the thought, "Jeez! FINALLY a reminder of BC mines!" ? Nice job, guys, and one hell of an interesting way to get your exercise!👍👍❤️❤️

[@johnbrownlee7623]

Good job on the video...I sure like the drone shots....Get to see more....Glad to see some artifacts still in the mine....The man ways looked to be in very good condition......Thanks for your hard work...............JB.........

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks 👍

[@AdventuresRUs]

Reading through your comments it sounds like some exciting adventures are coming up! Another great video Frank, Gly is lucky to have had the chance to go exploring with you! Take care and stay safe.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks Adam. These are probably not the most exciting videos. The ones we did this winter are far better, but we spent the money filming them so we might as well release them first.

[@mikeokeefe2014]

Nice and dry... cough..cough...still a nice change from puddle jumping back home. Stay safe 🇨🇦

[@misterp158]

Good stuff again. Thanks

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kimbra1132]

Those copper mines are so pretty.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Frank, this was one cool mine, quite technical in places but you guys handled like pro's as always. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Nobody went to the emergency room so it was a success!

[@SueGirling68]

@@exploringabandonedmines Absolutely. xx

[@King4s]

Nice one 👍😎 more easy on the nerves than the last one 😁

[@casedoumasr656]

Between the 2 of you your video s are all the BEST even tho this may be 2019 video it is real exciting still all new .thank you Cjd wash state 😷🇺🇸. The comments from both sides are exciting to read all so.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thank you so much!

[@thomasfraser7716]

This is so cool! My dog and I were at that mine today. I was just thinking someone needs to do a video explore on it and suddenly here it is! Thanks! I wouldn't ever have gone down there.

[@stephanb.3342]

Good job. 👍

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks 👍

[@rolfsinkgraven]

A very nice stopy place wow.

[@scottyfox6376]

I wish there were short videos or animations & diagrams showing exactly how stopes & other features were mined. Thanks for the videos👍

[@exploringabandonedmines]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ_YdaacfsuqfcU is a video that explains it,

[@jamesglenn2006]

I've got one of those Olympia cans in my collection 👍🍻 Great adventure Frank

[@Snotric]

Friday mine exploration fun again😎

[@jefffleming8103]

Frank I can see you have made Gly an Earth Worm with all the shafts you guys went through WOW talk about Claustrophobia that was a true workout physical and mental .. I bet you hit the Hot Tub after that workout. Thanks for the video 👍

[@exploringabandonedmines]

The shower!

[@Gladiamdammit]

Wow, good timing checking the channel. Lol

[@ronniecardy]

Nice you both explored the same mine in most all of the passages. You should do it a lot more

[@mikeygunz9763]

I love it when u come to my home town in Arizona. Phoenix is where im at.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

I love going to the hiking shack in Phoenix!

[@blakehamouda6171]

Love the exploration!

[@frankcharmstorres9585]

Nooo no earthquake's while down there it's crazy dangerous enough! Definitely somewhere I will never be going 💪🍀💪

[@mojavemike6522]

Very nice!

[@greglong7327]

Great video! Glad to see you came to AZ! i hope you made it to some mines east of Phoenix! can't wait to see what you have to share.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

The Vulture and Oatman is as far as we got east.

[@waso122463]

Wow looking through those stulls reminds me of the Elder Scrolls game.

[@dombutler7685]

That near vertical stope was quite something!

[@kevintapp2849]

I can't imagine the gold left behind under that dust?

[@kevintapp2849]

In the stopes!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Gold in hard rock mines isn't usually visible.

[@davidkurzdorfer6402]

Frank excellent video cool seeing gly do roping and learning from you to bad Mr m was not along for the going down deep shafts on rope the stuff Mr m is trained on Mr m would have loved doing the shafts probably not the long ladder climbs but the rope stuff Mr m would have been excellent on with his vast years experience

[@danielbarrows7144]

You need Batman's grappling hook and ascender to explore those stopes! 😄🦇👱🏼⚓️⛓

[@jimswan9572]

Frank ... ever been to Kennicott? I think if you get some spare time I’d sure like to see your explore of the area’s copper mines

[@exploringabandonedmines]

It is a state park. I don't think the mines are accessible

[@ArmoredDC]

I love Harquahala. Great nugget spots out there

[@mikecarr1484]

Next to Salem .

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Gly spent last winter camped there.

[@ArmoredDC]

@@exploringabandonedmines i spent a majority of last week. Beautiful place, alot of cacti

[@sandmanbub]

@Whoop!

[@turji]

Dang, another vid whit gly💣 But i did not see him much😅

[@davidsellars4327]

The wheel and axle you found appear to be from a railroad maintenance of way car. Looks like a Fairmont. The axle had the joint in the center that acted as a differential. Maybe it was a complete car modified for the purpose. Would have been interesting to know the gauge.

[@budinfield9746]

Hey Frank! Brett down in Cero Gordo CA needs help finding some Levis in his mine. It goes down 900'. You should go there and give him a hand as you are the king of mine exploration and finding jeans!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

I did manage to contact him and he has invited us to come for a visit to explore some mines with him.

[@budinfield9746]

That's awesome! If anyone can find those jeans it will be you!

[@budinfield9746]

He recently made a trip to rescue a tram bucket like the one l just got out of a Weaverville CA gold mine

[@remmiemax3624]

@13:10, Frank, how they hang'n? 🤣 With all that dust in your throat, you'll need 1 beer just to wash that away so you can taste the others!!!🍻🍻

[@exploringabandonedmines]

One Bourbon, One Scotch and One beer!

[@blackmonday738]

Have u explored Nutty Putty?? Also would love to hear yr Logic on the channel Caveman Hikes. Thanks for sharing, Love the Thumbnail Frank, 🤘that hair is awesome!!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

No it is a cave.

[@granvilleporter5989]

Second comment love the Chanel and content

[@mfree80286]

7:45 A lot of that wood was checked like there was a fire a long, long time ago...

[@derekwaszkiewicz8338]

I'm in az if you guys need anything built or repaired here let me know. Have a machine and fab shop by PHX. Be happy to help you all out.

[@robincampbell5260]

Do you want to go to the dutchman gold mine I know where it is

[@exploringabandonedmines]

We know where it is too but want to leave it for the next generation...

[@FrankFrankly711]

Dat Azurite is fine

[@DaemonDL]

You really need a Geiger counter to see what kind of radiation you are exposed too during these adventures!!!

[@michaeleyre290]

Most of it’s probably mental..

[@Theshaze69]

Hey you mentioned outhouses, how common is it for people to shit in a mine? Seems like gases and smell might make it a dumb idea, but maybe they have a solution?

[@chrisstrobel3439]

That light blue mineral Gly kept calling Azurite is not Azurite, it looks like Chrysocolla .. unless there were little bands of Azurite the camera was not picking up.

[@brandongoecks1269]

Do you guys think you will ever hit California mines?

[@exploringabandonedmines]

We were in Atolia last year and are going back that way to Cerro Gordo in the fall.

[@danieljamespo]

Yea haa

[@imchris5000]

some of that wood is burnt like someone dropped that cart down into mine with some gasoline and thats where it crashed

[@UncleBildo]

Hopefully the plague will end eventually and you kids can have more "play dates"!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Cerro Gordo is calling!

[@UncleBildo]

@@exploringabandonedmines That thing should be interesting.... what a beast.

[@beverlyhanlon7575]

You and Frank are more dangerous than you and Mr M. But I still watch.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

I have spent the last 6 years exploring mines full time and have never been hurt. So I don't see what I am doing as all that dangerous, well for me. Very few people could do what I do.

[@lastmanstanding2358]

Remember, These Miners Could Imbibe In Laudinum, & Morphine... Not Today! Not 2 Mention, MSHAW... Of Course, I'd Say That The Older The Mine, The Tougher The Generation, That Mined It!

[@darknes7800]

I wonder if anyone here really knows how far Frank pushed Gly out of his usual comfort zone? Frank is fearless, Gly not so much ! Frank: "Its not crazy steep", as he hangs from a rope in a 100% vertical shaft! LOL

[@blobby273]

just imagine an earth quake while down there ,

[@TheDezrat]

Do you get permission from blm to explore these old mines

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Are you kidding?...they would never endorse anything like that.

[@mechanicman8687]

@@exploringabandonedmines Hey Gly those mines in calico ghost town need explored. I hear theirs around 30 miles of tunnels closed to the pubic

[@sandlmv8301]

I love both you guys. I feel that Gly's channel is a bit personality oriented lately, and the mine exploring hasn't been the greatest. He got ropes a few episodes ago and has had great opportunities to use them since but didn't use them and I'm a little disappointed. I hope it's not his health. His channel grew quickly through good deep exploration coupled with good personality. Now it seems it's more simple explores coupled with Mr M and his cup of tea. The growth will slow down if he doesn't keep with his deep mine exploring in my opinion. I'm glad I have you to watch Frank, coz I'm worried that Gly's best and deepest explores have already past. Sorry Gly, didn't want to say it on your channel. Mr M is great (seems like a lovely Chap), but he doesn't compensate for the lack of deep exploration and adventure of expansive mines. Cheers. Love you both. Keep at it Gly, or Frank will leave U behind brother. FYI guys, my favourite 2 explorations are the one where you have to go back up and you're worried about the water heading out a different way Frank (can't remember the episode number Frank but pretty sure you found 2 old lamps or something)....and episode 72 for you GLY. Both of them were amazing. I wish you both the best of success moving forward.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Sometimes I wonder why I bother with KZbin. I enjoy exploring mines but the filming and editing take up a lot of time. There are many channels that get a lot more traffic. People vote with their feet.
