Abandoned & Forgotten Places
Documenting abandoned mines like never before!
Let's take abandoned mine exploring to the next level!
With your support you can help make this the best abandoned mine exploring channel on KZbin!
Shot entirely in 4K! ...so, turn up those video settings!
On this channel we go deep... REALLY DEEP into abandoned mines and tunnels all throughout the western United States. We researched some of the harder to find mines and hiked or 4x4 back into them to explore and reveal their hidden secrets. Many of these remote locations are filled with cool artifacts, antiques and unique geology that will have you guessing as to why the old prospectors worked so hard to find gold, silver, and other minerals.
A&FP moves just a bit slower as compared to other mine exploring channels. Gly discusses why the miners chose these sites and he points out the geology and minerals that got them excited. Veins of quartz filled with gold and silver made many men lose sleep in the 1800’s and early 1900’s and modern prospecting still does to this very day.
DANGERS? Oh yes, there’s allot of dangers associated with old mines. Un-exploded dynamite, blasting caps, bad air, bats, spiders, and snakes all find their home in abandoned mine shafts and tunnels. Oh, and let’s not forget rotting timbers, flooded passages and collapsing rock!
Gly takes abandoned mine exploring seriously with all the proper safety equipment, training, and experience necessary to do this activity as safe as possible but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun along the way. “Gly”, your host and his band of crazy characters “Old Bob” (Gly’s Jeep), “Quackers” (Gly’s duck) and “Bobbie” (Gly’s hula girl) are sure to brighten your day with their comments and silly antics. Heck, they may even give you a chuckle or two.
Just like Saturday morning cartoons before the internet was invented, Abandoned and Forgotten Places uploads each Saturday at 7:00AM PST. (that’s 10:00AM for you eastern folks) so don’t forget to click that subscribe button and bell icon to receive notifications of new episodes!
Please LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT! All these things help grow our channel and your financial support helps us find new locations and helps put fuel into “Old Bobs” tank. Old Bob, thanks you!
Ok, now for the ugly stuff...

Thanks to Gly and Laura for another cool mine adventure.

[@kathylammers8360]

Gly, when you stepped onto that log to show us the skip cart, you really scared me! I was so afraid it'd slip and you'd be gone and there Laura would be, left alone! Maybe it wasn't as bad as it looked from the camera angle but it sure curled my toes! Thank you both for braving the various dangers of old mines to share the adventure. ALso, it was great to see some beautiful blue skies again. Maybe a dumb question but maybe in a few months could you talk about the different type of rails the old timers used? I've wondered if strap rails were made from wood or inferior iron, or different shape from regular ore cart rails. THANKS again for talking to us like we're actually along for the hike!❤

[@lh6551]

A lot of the time, strap rail was used for low budget or Mom and Pop mines.

[@borracho_bart]

I had no idea cinnabons were mined! One of my favorite mall stops back in the day.😂

[@debrasonger8346]

Thanks for another adventure. GOD bless you both. Stay safe

[@elizabethcole5582]

A dope on a rope in a stope!! LOL!! Good one Laura! And what happened with that pair of pants, or cloth article, that Laura found earlier in this last mine explore?

[@LazloNQ]

Yeah Gly just ignored her and he ignored her comment when she found another 1988 marking.

[@thefirstcalled]

Thank you again! Even when the light shines on the back wall which ends journey, it is exciting to me!

[@JDJ1898JADE]

Thanks for the Saturday explore video. That was a cool skip you found up in that little pocket.

[@MrAnderson4509]

I really like the inside of the "Cinnabar mine" twisted an gnarled paths and splits

[@johnizitchiforalongtime]

Laura, Gly, Thanks for this adventure, bats and all, especially the first one you two went into. This later one, flakey or not. This is looking good. It was fantastic. Thanks for this tour.

[@bobrenner7213]

Thanks for mentioning FaceBook. I just went to that site and am enjoying the entries - all the stuff that doesn't get to the KZbin videos. Keep up the good work. I did my mine exploring in 1962 - 1965 around Death Valley. At 86, no more hiking miles to experience the findings.

[@sarahpovey6368]

Last mine was really interesting as always great video ❤

[@DarrellHibbler]

...🤲🏾🙏🤲🏾✨✨✨HEY GIY AND LAURA... I TRULY ENJOY Y'ALL EVERY MOMENT WATCHING Y'ALL GOING THRU THOSE MINES... THAT WAS AWESOME FUN AND AWESOME REMARKABLE...👍🏾✨✨✨🤲🏾🙏🤲🏾...

[@colleenvarlow8764]

Hey Thanks. Interesting about cinnabar and mercury. I liked the colors. Loved the ore slide. Amazing it hasn't collapsed, good wood I am guessing.

[@chillindave1357]

A great looking team 👍

[@cheycasters]

Thanks!!!

[@christinastroud7269]

I really enjoy watching your channel; I even got my husband watching with me. Thank you!

[@OGRocker1]

Thanks for the awesome share, Gly and Laura, take care and stay safe.

[@madeinyorkshire52]

Thanks guys! 👍 🧨⛏🧨⛏🇬🇧

[@danielflinn3571]

Thanks for sharing good luck stay safe from Australia

[@edwardaustin740]

When you stoop over you get me hurting with you. I got rear-ended last year by a big pick up truck. I feel your pain Gly. Appreciate the video and a Laura sighting.. 😆

[@justinmoreland3570]

Awesome mines and sites. As someone else who posted you had me a little nervous when you stepped up on the stull to show the skip . 😱 . But I was hoping and praying it held. But I know you check things out. Glad you both made it out safely . As always be safe out there ! See you Wednesday! 🙂👍🏼🫂

[@Earlywinters09]

"Great for pancakes." 🤣

[@richardwarnock2789]

Thank's for the View's!!!; )

[@kenwestern2821]

Awesome video from a great team! Thanks again, you crazy kids!

[@andrewphillips9123]

Another awseome explore thanks.

[@PaulHarvey-js2gt]

Hi Gly & Laura another great explore thanks for the time and effort. I don't know which was worse the pack rats or mike Myers 😂

[@andrewgrundy6309]

I enjoyed that mine thank you so much to you both

[@mikewilliams235]

Really cool episode. Thanks guys.

[@tinadelwiche416]

Remember Gly you’re still at boot camp 😂😂 .. Thank u both for sharing this old mine 😊

[@realufosbykeithchapman3638]

You guys be safe 🙏🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻

[@Marcus-ki1en]

At least it is all downhill to get back to old Bob. It is when you hike down to the mine and have to hike uphill to get back that sucks. Ha, spoke too soon. You had to go over the saddle and down the back side. Oh well, thank guys.

[@GunsmokeGoon93]

hello guys looking forward to this one, cheers from west Texas

[@wheels636]

Better watch out for cinnabar, mercury causes brain damage, but maybe that's why you go into some of those mines, 😅😅😅. Thanks for the adventures.

[@lh6551]

🤪

[@junie1955]

Take the un needed wood from this first one to one with scary one over wynns but to far im sure. Another great ezplore thanks for taking us along.

[@TJ-YouTube]

Great job 🎉🎉🎉

[@AaronBennett-gx8rc]

I met you guys or obviously a trained professional to demonstrate on how dangerous one old stick is thanks you guys are awesome

[@Scott6283]

I too have re/green color blindness. It can be a real pain to be sure.

[@lesbendo6363]

Good Video Thx 🇨🇦

[@rickyjohnson4767]

Awesome video

[@stevesyverson8625]

Pack rat excrement after centuries and millennia becomes amber rat. I have found mounds over three feet tall in natural caverns that is very sweet smelling and tasting. Translucent red in color. Yes, I was once an explorer and adventurer. Keep on truckin’ Gly! Good ole Southern Nevada with Piñon Pine and Juniper around 5000’^ elevation. The pack rats like Juniper for their nests. Can’t blame em. The miners liked both flora for timber as evident in this mine.

[@realufosbykeithchapman3638]

I like your show 😎🤘🏻🤙🏻🖖🏻

[@davesteyn]

You are in shape Gly. Round is also a shape.😂 You can do a lot more than many people who are in shape though.

[@ohnonotthatguy1465]

I’m hoping when you get Bob back at Anderson (I’m assuming) he’s not out too long getting that rear end fixed proper. Missing that much time in nevada must have been discouraging.

[@TRSSR67]

TY

[@billloutzenheiser5397]

Luara's coment to you, sounds like dhe has been talking to Julie on how she keeps Tom fit hehehe

[@ButterBallTheOpossum]

It would be really cool if you invested in an Xray Spectrometer so you could test different rocks in these mines

[@robertlyman9789]

Need to buy your next toy! A remote control car with a cam

[@BruceErb-g1q]

Laura needs some red suspenders so she can match you Gly😅

[@MariaZajicek-w9n]

Steuber Vista

[@AaronBennett-gx8rc]

I wish you guys could demonstrate on just how dangerous old dynamite is from the early 1900s Since it's been sitting that long is it still explosive or not quiry minds wanna know

[@DavidSellars-b8l]

At the risk of being pedantic, I'm going to address the use of the term "old growth" as used by various mine explorers. Old growth is frequently used to describe wood that is in its round or unmilled condition. The term more accurately indicated wood from a previously unlogged area. Old growth may also be used to describe wood that is old and generally has a dense ring count. Second growth is wood from the regrowth and denotes any cutting after the first harvest. OG is, in its most accurate use, an ecological system that encompasses both the flora and fauna that existed before the first white explorers arrived. I have heard the term OG applied to some areas around Lake Tahoe. Most of the timber in that basin is second growth. The OG was logged off in the second half of the 1800's and much of it is buried under Virginia City.

[@tedm.3961]

Agree totally. Living in the Pacific Northwest gives good examples of true "old growth" vs.re prod. though I can't imagine anything but OG juniper and pinion in the SW. with natural regrowth from fires and miners.

[@RileyRiley-s1k]

Leaked doors floor 2?

[@wilburroth5150]

👍

[@christopherwells372]

I suspect you exposed yourself to mercury in all that ore dust

[@jamesloghry8083]

Stink reminder brain freeze.

[@BruceErb-g1q]

Mole man Gly getting as brave as Frank 😮

[@lotharschiese8559]

12:04 OK! Herr Gly, why are you not taking samples instead of making assumptions. Eh? Boring!

[@scottneil1187]

Love ya Gly but you gotta lose that belly and get your stamina up. No offence intended.
