A Mine That'll Give You Neurological Disorders

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: For those of you who are interested, the black rock I found in this mine is Black Mica Schist. Schist is a metamorphic rock that has been subjected to compressive forces, heat, and chemical activity. The lighter colored rock along the margin of the Schist was limestone.

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

Abandoned and Forgotten Places - That boundary was striking, never seen anything like that in any of these mine exploration videos I’ve seen.

[@kimbra1132]

Hey thanks Gly, its hard to see and feel the rock through my TV. Thanks for the black rock identification.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: We finished documenting a mine yesterday where the same type of schist was in pod like or lensed type structures. It was pretty darn cool.

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

Abandoned and Forgotten Places - Very interesting. Look forward to seeing it 👍🏻

[@DesertTripper]

Did you find any cinnabar or was it all mined out?

[@solenoidnull9542]

I live in Alberta, Canada, a place with craploads of abandoned mines. Your videos have taught me to stay out of them :)

[@c103110a]

It's a good thing that we didn't have KZbin as kids, or videos like this may have motivated me to explore. Now, I'm too old and smart to try.

[@janicescragg2388]

Hi fellow Albertan. I don't necessarily want to go into the mines but I would love to find some that are not coal related so I can go through the tailings piles. Any idea how to find these mines and get permission to explore?

I was given some flasks of mercury from a neighbor who had a Cinnabar mine near Almaden south of San Jose Ca. It is for display only even though I have found some gold deposits I use other safer methods for recovery. I was taught to put the mercury-gold solution from my pan into a scooped out potato then bake it. The mercury would evaporate up into the potato where it was recoverable and the gold would be in the bottom. Could not figure where my gold fever came from till I recently discovered my Grandfather was a carpenter square setter in gold mining back early 1900's. Your videos have given me an insight into his past. Thanks and keep up the outstanding work.

[@tylerchambers6246]

Boy do I get nervous when people explore wet mines with undisturbed standing water.. once you break that surface tension there's no telling what trapped or dissolved gasses you're going to release from cavitation. Not to mention any stuff in the silt or sediment. Be careful folks! That O2 sensor was really lingering...

[@jlo7770]

It freaks me out too. I'm not sure why but the clear water and being able to see that far down weirds me out. Only when it's under ground though. I don't think I would have been so keen to walk on a false floor that has been saturated in water for who knows how many years regardless of its wood or metal.

The mercury gets processed outside the mine.

Hi there, RoundUp! May I call you RoundUp, Mr Gly-phosate? Anyway, as I watch your videos progress I think I'm starting to see your plan.. and I admire it! People say the only things you can count on are death and taxes, but that's not the whole story. After both of those are done, there's the cost of funeral and burial expenses and those are just too damn high. Not something you want to saddle your surviving loved ones with. And that's where my admiration for your plan blossoms! Like a Saxon burial, you'll be entombed with all your favorite things to carry in the afterlife. And unlike some puny burial mound of old, you'll have a whole damned, crumbly-ass mountain to mark your grave! Very clever. Carry on!

In the city of Phoenix are the remains of a mercury mine and old retorts in a valley known as Dreamy Draw after the neurological effects of vaporized mercury on the miners. A few decades ago Mercury Mine Elementary School was built above the valley on schist fill. Hopefully that schist isn't mercury contaminated tailings from the nearby mine.

[@loyalkuhn5778]

The shear faults are very well defined. Looks like too much moisture has limited your access to the upper stopes (Black Wooden Ladder Parts). When these guys emptied a stope, they made a huge ballroom. Yep that red rock is cinnibar ore (mercuric sulphide - HgS) which was widely used for a coloring agent in paint. At the landing on the decline, the ore was quite visible. Great Video and a fun tour !!

[@gvii]

The little bit in the beginning with Mr M about made me pee myself. As did the bit with the old man noises, lol. That mine was something else. Lot of really cool color in there. And it really looks like they hogged out every last bit they could find, where ever it might be. That cavern with that forest of supports was really wild. Those old time miners had titanium clankers to do what they did. Heck of a lot of work, takes quite a bit of cinnabar to get a decent quantity of mercury. And I imagine they weren't exactly raking in the pay. Though it does seem an odd time to shut down in a way. Mercury had a number of military uses back then, particularly in ammunition production. But I do see how a smaller operation would have trouble importing people at a time like that. Very cool video, as always sir!

You're sick Randy ! LOL. Thanks for these videos, I have hovered at the entrance to huge mines in the American west outback completely unprepared and inexperienced my common sense kept me out of almost all of them. I always wondered what a lot of these mines looked like inside and now I know. Went deep into a uranium mine near Moab, Utah once upon a time, and knowing what I know now that one was one I should have stayed out of the most.

[@ot1402]

That was pretty cool! To bad the timber’s were all rotten and the shafts were full of water because I know you wanted to explore more of that mine. My partners and I did a lot of mining and studying of mines up in Northern California. We read in some books where the old timers would cook off the mercury in a tent, then be found dead in the morning. They would even cook off the mercury in a pan then turn around and fix a meal out of the same skillet or pan. Yikes. I don’t think it took to long to figure out the do’s and don’t do’s with mercury. When we found mercury ladened gold we had 1 specific pan and 1 specific 1 burner propane gas “cooker” and sit about 50 yards away from the process for about an hour. Thanks for the adventure, glad you guys should us a cinder bar mine. Thanks Gly and partners, see you next week. You da man!

I am glad to see you doing this stuff not on your own anymore though. That always had me a little uneasy in the earlier videos, I know you did your due diligence on making sure you got out safe and people knew where to look but if anything happened minutes could make the difference compared to hours.
