Hidden Desert Treasures: Arizona's Most Mineral Rich Abandoned Mine

[@elizabethcole5582]

Your channel is one of my favorites because you don't just explore a mine, you explain things like the geology and the equipment and just cool little tid bits of information the other channels don't cover. It's interesting and holds my attention. Thank You for all you two do!! OH, and you have better lighting and cameras too.

[@Caver461]

Nothing sweeter than finding a place like this. Only thing to top it is some forgotten ore vein rich in gold.

[@mickie7873]

Keep the videos coming of "abandoned & forgotten". You always show us the "un-seen" facets of old mines. Your "opening" story about a past mine that could have become a disaster for you Gly, was scary just hearing about how "close you came". See-ee, it can happen. Somebody was watching over you. As you move about, you're showing how great the mineralization was in this mine. Geez, at 17:52, lots more "dam" ladders that Gly always has to do to" explore further". 27:32, holy grap! that is some length of ladder! I feel bad for you two having to go back up. At 38:07, the light is bleeding out the "sparkle" of your finds. At 39:44, much better glisten. Super explore and explaining. Thank you for what you do.

I was 10 in 1965 and my parents took us kids to the Nevada state museum in Carson City. That’s why I’m watching this now at 69.5. I was hooked on mines that day! Now I’ve been watching your program since you began with this endeavor. Laura, thank you for mentioning the Nevada Stste Museum mock up mine in Carson City.

[@roperdon5939]

Thank you for a great explore !

[@DDBBK]

Hi Gly and Laura. Thank you, as always, for your wonderful videos. These are places I can never go due to physical issues so watching your videos allows me to see these beautiful mines. The older, the better.

[@G1966TK]

Same here

[@soho71]

Another great mine, thanks L & G

[@tedm.3961]

Thanks as always guys!. Can't wait for the rest.

[@robertlyman9789]

Still amazed at the amount of lumber brought down and shaped to fit. Full time job there! And look how straight it is also

[@bonnieschuster6798]

I enjoy the conversations you all have I feel like I am part of the explore more. Keep it up.

[@andrewkiwi1]

Laura is a nice anomily LOL.Bats = flying rats. As you go down the quality of the wood work drops .it s noticeable. awesome video.

[@MidlandAngel2]

Another great explore, thanks for brightening my day. Stay safe as always. Love to you both xx

[@justinmoreland3570]

Wow awesome continuation of this mine ! Vanadinite 😮👍🏼 See you next weekend ! Be safe out there!

[@inthearea63]

Awesome explore and thanks for sharing. 👍

[@KenBurtner]

What a good mine - thank you for a good day Ken

[@rawbsworld6604]

Why you thanking Ken? There was no Ken in this vid

[@jacklisiecki2389]

Really nice vanadinite find. Thanks for another adventure, Gly and Laura.

[@timothybarham6374]

Awesome mine, looking forward to part three.

[@railbirrd]

But my lazyboy is on a solid false floor and I'm pretty sure the back of my mine will not fall on me for no apparent reason. Great videos keep them coming!

[@JDJ1898JADE]

Thanks for the Saturday explore video. That is a great mine with some awesome wood work and the rock samples you were able to get.

[@rawbsworld6604]

I’m sure they sparkly, even in the artificial light I seen some glitter

[@jackstarman8057]

The amount of timber used in all the mines that you show case is unbelievable. What a shame that those timbers can't be removed and recycled.

[@tinadelwiche416]

Very interesting 🤔. Ty for sharing 😊😊.

[@DannoM_]

Wow, impressive workings especially the wood workings. What a sprawling mine!

[@denniservin4199]

When I was kid living in Carson I used to live at that museum and been in that replica mine, Kool yall mentioned it.

[@lh6551]

That was my favorite part of the museum when I was a kid.

[@rawbsworld6604]

Y’all talking like you grew up or sumthing🤦‍♂️ I’ve heard of some folk getting infected with that age thing 😳😆🤣 ✌️ it’s a horrible thing !!😝

[@denniservin4199]

@rawbsworld6604 lol 😆 I'm hearin ya, and the creaking in my bones, that was back in 72. The days when I'd chase jack rabbits in the desert. Now I get winded watching my dog chase his tail. Lol.

[@rawbsworld6604]

@@denniservin4199 👍 I know the feeling!!!

[@danerickson1632]

You guy's should be worried about future respiratory problems, breathing in all that dust and not knowing what hazardous material ia in it, i would recommend a like fireman helmet with a respirator and Mike for the audio built in to the helmet

[@sandman4384]

Super great place it always gets me how hard these miners worked today miners and anyone else does not know what work is This mine is so cool I watch both young guys and you the young seem not to have as good camera and lighting like you have who cares about being a little heavy you get the job done thanks you guys do not explain show enough

[@johnizitchiforalongtime]

Thank you. This is quite the mine, artifacts galore. OK, take us down down down to the bottom for that ore. Exquizette. I missed my meal just for this.

[@paulatherton9655]

Hi from the UK another great video

[@michaelmuenker1959]

Hey Gly.After 2 years watching your channel,together with Tom&Juli,TVR,ZIA Mountain for Nevada,Arizona and New Mexico you are the best channel.The others are one gut for Washington,of course all the old footage of Frank and one crazy guy of Pennsylvania

[@Deechss]

Why don’t you go to Cerro Gordo and meet up with Brent. That could make for an awesome episode!

[@rickyjohnson4767]

You guy's are awesome. & a awesome video wish I could do what you guys don but I can't. so I watch you guys do it.❤

[@josephsexton8310]

How did the steering box repair on old bob go? Did it get covered under warranty ?

[@yeroldfatdad]

Howdy Gly and Laura, I am an old fat guy. I couldn't do what you do. I watch you, the young guys and sometimes the hussy chick. Every channel has their thing they do. Thanks for entertaining me.

[@jimp514]

Many Hans make light work

[@mathewmiller8246]

I didn't know this was a rock and mineral show.

[@SuperDalton72]

wow you know the hanging wall and the floor.. its huge. one earth movement your a dead fly by a clap-

[@ronwade2206]

The Grand Canyon State, the Copper State, the Citrus State, the Cattle State, the Cotton State. 5 C's 😅

[@d455ave]

This was in my feed 4hrs or less after it was posted.

[@thomasleemullins4372]

Those ladders were really well built. They look strong and safe. 🤓

[@rawbsworld6604]

So do prophylactics but they been known to break occasionally ☝️ 😝😂😂😂😂 ✌️

[@gregphillips.1312]

1971 was a good year 😉🍪🍻🇬🇧

[@kathylammers8360]

I've watched some of the new guy videos. What I've seen is that they don't have your knowledge and experience or ability to explain. They just don't seem to beanything but inexperienced touristy videos. Not for me. UR DA BEST!❤

[@OffroadingAndExploring]

I am a newer guy. I am slowly getting well versed in the terms and knowledge. It takes time, but with each trip I learn something new

[@cheycasters]

Who Hoo!!

[@olliespackrt5763]

I understand that there are words for all the things in a mine stoop, stole, winz... but how and why do are they called what they are?

[@oleman]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@robertlyman9789]

Boomer here!😀

[@rawbsworld6604]

You married to Rang? 😝😀

[@Marcus-ki1en]

What you don't know is Laura is putting rocks in YOUR backpack... ; P

[@yehonatan2020]

Gly, 53 is not old. Health decline has become accepted as normal in today's world in the 50's and on, but things were not always this way

[@mickie7873]

I was in my "prime" in my 50's (and 60's). Some "got it" and some "don't.

[@briannave7326]

I’ve traveled the highway from Fountain Hills to Payson many times and have been on many old roads and trails and I’ve seen a lot of old mines but didn’t go into them. Is this mine anywhere near that area?

[@lh6551]

Negative

[@davidgrenis638]

SO IS THERE ANY GOLD IN THE MINERAL YOU WANT TO COLLECT OR IS IT JUST PRETTY TO LOOK AT DAVID ADAM GRENIS BOULDER COLORADO

[@milwaukeeroadjim9253]

That 6 volt lantern battery is old. I think they were still around in the early 70s. You probably get the same output and longevity out of a modern headlight at a fraction of the weight. In the 70s I purchased a rechargeable headlight with a big battery you worn on your belt. It was from MSA and for use in mines. Didn't take long before it wouldn't take a charge.

[@robertlyman9789]

Who got to clean the grizzly grate? Lot of big stones

[@robertlyman9789]

What is the sparkle stuff in the rocks?

[@reddog9025]

and there are a lot of people that would say sure I would go down there but you don't mention that group, HUM...

[@lh6551]

Will you be offering positive insight anytime soon, HUM…

[@michaelmuenker1959]

Sorry....one guy for washington

[@shanesooth6267]

I call BS on fly free climbing that sump. Way to call him out Laura.

[@mickie7873]

View his 1st. "go around" of this mine and you'll see Gly down there!

[@davidgrenis638]

YEARS AGO MY FATHER BOUGHT A PROPERTY NEXT DOOR THAT FROM AN OLD-TIME MINOR AND HIS WIFE AND HE WASN'T AFRAID OF OLD DYNAMITE WHAT HE DID WITH IT IS HE WOULD SPLIT IT OPEN WITH HIS KNIFE AND USE IT FOR FERTILIZER AROUND HIS TREES DAVID ADAM GRENIS BOULDER COLORADO

[@mickie7873]

Did he also have a "death wish"?

[@maryistulsafox]

😂🐢

[@davidkurzdorfer6402]

Gly your videos and adventures remind me of wild kingdoms adventure with marlin Perkins watching with my late father and you do just a amazing job as the late marlin Perkins did with your adventures....every sat ......got going to be honest understand you work your but off. And you tube don't appreciate you enough.....gly on serous note you was working on cage system to lower person down deep shafts with Mr m .....but you stop because it cost money to design and build the system.....Sir how much money would you need to finally buy the materials to complete that system . Because as long time viewer and big fan Iam willing to contribute in late fall 2025 towards the material so you could finally complete it and might even be able to cover all the material cost gly....how much would materials cost .....thanks gly just love to help make the adventures even more ok

[@davidkurzdorfer6402]

Gly can you please let me no how much material cost is needed to finish that system you and Mr m was. Working on so I can put it aside in fall and get it out to you so you can finish and use it in future shows ....I understand you put so much into the show and you tube is cheap that's why Iam willing to put some money aside I get once a year in late fall to help you buy the materials to build that system to lower you down those deep shafts to go ware no other you tube mine show go and Iam.willing to donate a few grand yes grand to help you out as a loyal fan ok

[@AaronBennett-b9h]
