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...

[@maryloumceachern7774]

Are you two officially a "couple"? Love watching your vids!

[@PamIrishGirl]

Very nice! Thoroughly enjoyed this Q&A with G&L !! Keep’em coming!!

[@olliespackrt5763]

I've enjoyed this channel since I found it. I've gone back and binged from the beginning. Enjoying Laura getting more comfortable and screen time.

[@spot3190]

question for Laura. Please tell as much about yourself as you feel comfortable sharing. Thanks Gulio.

[@marktadlock5428]

Actually good sponsors for you would be climbing supplies like companies like REI, Cabellas, mapping gear safety air monitors. Because those are things you use all the time and trust.

[@mary-anndantonio5254]

Hi Gly and Laura, I just love your mining discoveries and how brave you both are going into those mines. I sit a lot at the edge of my seat watching you both and praying you both will be OK, it looks so dangerous. I just would love to know what you find for ore in those minds. Sometimes Gly will tell us but most of the time he just says ore. It is just so fascinating to know what was mined. The walls of the mines are just so colorful. Thank you for your consideration and I'll be watching you both. Stay safe.

[@jd_portland]

good morning Gly and Laura!!! we love you and love your videos

[@johnizitchiforalongtime]

I like your content of each video. I'm a minimalist, i don't like clutter. I like all that both of you do, especially together: Family friendly. Kind of reminds me of my father who worked in an iron ore mine, when i was just a toddler looking into my past upbringing 3-4 of age.

[@lindablack635]

Hi Gly and Laura. I really like your adventures. It takes you back when life was different. Maybe not easier, but different. I have a couple questions. 1) What is the strangest thing that ever happened to either of you when visiting a mining site? 2) Each mine is different but most are in the middle of nowhere. Where did these people get their supplies (town? trading post? train stop? peddelers?) and how long did it take to pack it to the mines? What kind of transportation did each mine use (pack mule? mule pulled wagon? Model T truck?)

[@PMT-Miss-Love]

I wasn't sure I would enjoy this q&A but I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to all these new videos y'all are working so hard at!

[@colleenvarlow8764]

Hiya all. We love you both. Thanks for all you do.

[@pgrayson3138]

I think many of us would like to know more about you Laura, your background and your experience with mining. AND are you and Gly now a couple? Hope so.

[@wheels636]

That's the 64000 dollar question I've been wondering about also? I hope so also.

[@BarbStefanow]

Awesome, more Gly and Laura! ♥ Protect your energy.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Hello Gly and Laura, we have dubbed this era “The Great Anger” we also have noticed a lot of this grade school mentality in the comments section of so many YT videos. I guess it’s true what they say, “hurt people, hurt people.” You two are doing great and this looks like a fun format! Our question is as follows. So back in the day what was it the old prospectors saw when out in the middle of nowhere that made them decide this is where I’m going to start digging for gold, silver, etc. especially in say Montana where the trees are covering the geological features more than the desert? Andrea and Steven.

[@anthonyarguello-i3o]

Hey, I just wanted to say that I’ve been watching you since 2020 I think that you are very educational. I’ve learned a lot and let haters be haters. Love your channel.

[@N8R408]

I enjoy your Wednesday shows but I really look forward to watching Saturday mornings shows. Thanks for what you both do! Keep on Keepin on!

[@SharonMiller-po6rp]

Good for you! Here to learn and enjoy the outing and your company.

[@Scott6283]

This was a fun thing. I always enjoy your content. I never miss an episode!

[@olliespackrt5763]

I've enjoyed this channel since I found it. I've gone back and binged from the beginning

[@terrybemis5695]

Question. Back in episode 122 you talked about searching for Kenny Veach. Did you ever do that and where can I find the videos? I've been watching you channel for about 2 years now and I started with the premier episode and went straight through to the present. Keep up the good work and the both of you stay safe

[@ifixphns]

I always seem to have a question pop up after one of your explores. Most of them of late I have posted in your older videos (I went clear back to the beginning of your catalog, Gly), that said I am glad that you are taking the time to address your viewers questions. I look forward to what goodies you'll be putting up on the ebays. Thank you two for what you do for us.

[@russelldienell1439]

Gly we all have some of the same problems with what is going on. I feel like you do. All I can say is try to keep the faith and know that a lot of people like what you do. Thanks 😊 Doug

[@debrakish9659]

I've always heard that snakes are "shy and retiring" and, like Gly said, would rather have you just pass on by them and leave them alone if you come across them somewhere. When I'm walking in the meadow and see a snake crossing my path, it's always trying to get away from me rather than wanting to get in my way. I like your new Q & A with G & L in addition to your Wednesday and Saturday vids.

[@gmoneypower]

Absolutely fantastic series guys!!! I gotta get m questions together!!!!! Looking forward to more of these!!!!!

[@TheShornak]

Q & A with G & L, I like that

[@spamanator666]

I have been wondering whatever happened to Bob's "Schnozzolator" that was supposed to help ascend and descent vertical shafts?

[@lindablack635]

I can't believe that you would have haters. There is nothing to hate!

[@davesteyn]

Haters are people with low esteems of themselves. Unfortunately there are thousands/millions of them. It makes them feel good about themselves hating on people that are actually doing something with their lives.

[@scottleidenberger4401]

Great idea of the Q & A. This is going to be fun. My question is can you look at the side of the mine rail and see if it has the rail size in pounds, the year it was made and the steel mill it came from ? Stay safe.

[@schneidp20]

A follow on to the blasting question. How close to the blast were they and how dangerous was it? Thanks for the q&a. Your channel is more than the adventure, i love the educational aspect.

[@earlshaner4441]

Good morning from Syracuse NY everyone

[@cjvoges6563]

Thank you for this addition to your videos. I didn't notice you saying anything about the danger of a baby rattler. I was always told that even the babies with no rattle are still dangerous because they are born with their venom sacs and teeth! Love your videos!

[@kevinshuler1467]

How about a look at your camping rig and how you tow Bob

[@johnhughes8563]

Looking forward to your QA .

[@cheycasters]

Thank you!

[@greyoz1969]

Glad to hear your doing a q&a I'll throw a couple at you, old original dynamite that you said was about an inch round compared to the modern stuff,what sort of blast radius would one stick produce? Also when were carbide lanterns first used and was it made into a liquid or paste to burn? Keep up the great work it's the highlight of my week Wed and Sat videos, and now Monday and Friday as well. Thanks for taking my questions😊

[@louisestephenson1295]

Hi Gly and Laura, I live in the UK and in our earlier mines ponies were used underground. I don’t think I’ve ever heard you mention if this was the case in US mines. Have you ever found any evidence of ponies being used?

[@richardbrobeck2384]

Great video !

[@chrissaucier9386]

Y'all already answered my question on ebay 😁 Hope to see that in the future 😁

[@aknightthatsaysnee5259]

Greetings! Whatever happened to the Schnozzolator 5000? Thanks 😊

[@NikkiPeterson-d4l]

Loved this Q&A video, thanks for doing it! You guys talk about Carbide cans, finding them quite a bit. Can you please share what was in them, how it was used? Thank you

[@lesbendo6363]

Question. I read about your bad air experience on FB Gly. Can Laura carry you to safety? 💕👍🇨🇦

[@OGRocker1]

Morning Gly and Laura.... Morning All

[@ManuelRamirez-hj2xl]

Have any of you gotten sick specifically from exploring a specific mine??

[@karenfisher7813]

Hi! Love you guys! Gly, besides Laura, what is the most precious article you have found while exploring?

[@DanielOlsen2]

You should try progressive glasses. They are all in one. Love mine.

[@DannoM_]

I like this new video idea! Look forward to it. Question: When you guys are traveling out to or coming back from a mine, have you ever run into any park rangers or any kind of rural law enforcement? I wonder if they patrol way out there or only closer to the main roads.

[@debrasonger8346]

Thank you

[@davec9244]

No question at this point. thank you

[@stephenmiller5023]

Just a question I have that I’ve been wondering about now for at least 3-4 years since finding you & your channel Gly , is “ Have you ever considered doing an episode with Brent from Ghost town living “( In Cerro Gordo) as he’s sitting on one of the LARGEST set of tunnels underground that still hasn’t been explored to its fullest potential ( as he is well aware of ) . I think a collaboration between you & him & now with Laura would be pretty damn interesting and between all of your combined knowledge and commentary would be a really interesting documentary. Really enjoy all you bring together and share with us all , and please keep it up . Thanks 😎👍

[@Born2Rune]

I wish you guys could come over to the UK and join up with the UK Abandoned Mines lads. You can get your waders on and look at some beautiful arches of a late 1700's mine. Keep up the good work!.

[@Jazzmanndan]

Would you consider this? I think it would be quite interesting to have you show us the light output of carbide lamp/lantern the next time that you are exploring a mine. Wiki: A Carbide lamp or acetylene gas lamp is a simple lamp that produces and burns acetylene (C2H2), which is created by the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC2) with water (H2O). Thank you, I enjoyed the Q&A with you both very much!

[@Brian-sky61]

What problems did the miners face in the 1800's and how did they transport all the material from the mine... Thanks have a great week 😊

[@bowersjohn3521]

Gly/ Laura, there will always trolls and jerks online who I call “keyboard cowboys”. Your channel has came so far, your editing and production are fabulous. I love watching your videos and I think alot of other people do too. Don’t let the negativity weigh on you. Keep up the great work!

[@Paddy_Roche]

Hi Laura, the Q&A is a great idea, I would love to hear a little about your background (nothing intrusive or personal). Things like where you are from, previous employment etc... certainly, nothing that would make you uncomfortable. I understand the need to make the channel pay and I hope the additional content helps. I am sorry I cannot become a member I certainly hope to do so if my position changes.

[@reddog9025]

It would be best if you also had matching hats.

[@marykunkel-m4p]

Hi Gly and Laura. Because I'm a worrier, I'd like to know what you do to keep yourself safe when exploring these mines. For example, in one of last week's episodes, the entrance to the mine was pretty unstable so you were trying not to touch the ceiling as you crawled through. Do you tell someone where you are going and when you'll return? I assume there is no cell signal in most of these areas?? Thanks. And please stay safe!!! MJ

[@karenbond614]

I really enjoyed your QA’s, looking forward to more. I watch all of your videos, and absolutely love that you’re part of them now Laura! You both are awesome people. Seems like every video I watch has these “haters”, loathsome people living sad lives. You have lots of us though 😂

[@bernd6923]

Hello you two! I come from Germany and sometimes have difficulty understanding everything. Despite subtitles. I`m interested in the usual construction of an old mine. Do you perhaps have a graphic of the structure of an old mine? This perhaps the best way for a layperson to imagine it. Thank you very much and keep it up!

[@BobKernahan]

I like the q and a good job yall

[@KelseySoukup]

If you can get some sponsorships for products that you use while filming the show, and can show its use during the filming and explain why it could help the amateur explorers, I think that would go over pretty swell. JMO, of course.

[@JDJ1898JADE]

Q&A with G&L sounds like fun. I don't have a stupid question yet...but I'll work on it.

[@chrisstrobel3439]

My family have been watching the show from the beginning, Gly being a Christian man, and the show being family friendly is a big part of why my family watches the show, is Laura a Christian too? That’s our question. If not we won’t stop watching, but instead will pray for Laura and her salvation in Christ 😬👍

[@DanielOlsen2]

What kind of drones are you using and why for each one. You sure can fly them!!!

[@anthonyyoung7344]

The new way Thay use diesel & ammonium nitrate

[@WineShire]

Never notice that early shows, you didn't show your face. Had to go back look at your first episode. I miss show when you Canadian Frank would explore together, love to see you collab with other mine explores again. Only question i can think of is are You still in touch with Mr. M and Randy? An if so how are they?

[@colleenvarlow8764]

Where did they get the wood for the mines? I noticed the landscapes around with no trees, was it local or cut from somewhere else?

[@madeinyorkshire52]

Loved the Q&A - I’ll send you some 🧨⛏🧨⛏🇬🇧

[@Fudgieguys1969]

I want a complete update on Bob. I know you had some videos about the two axles, but I don't think you ever gave a current update. You mentioned U joints, which you must address when you get to Arizona. By the way, I live west of Tucson near Tuscon Estates. There are two RV camps near us.

[@marktadlock5428]

Your round 4 inch decal, is it uv protected so I can stick it on my 79 Bronco.

[@jjano2320]

I would love to see those wide open spaces. Is that B.L.M. land and can anyone 4 wheel out there?

[@Milw626]

When a dynomite charge is segt off in the face, does the shock and vibration from it cause rocks to fall in uninteneded places?

[@southdust117]

Do you think there is potential of some of these sites to be actively mined? Not necessarily reviving the old workings but development of a new mine with modern methods?

[@misstybigred1]

I was wondering if Laura get her own camera rig? So she could video stuff Gly may miss or when she goes farther on exploring while Gly rest. Laura you are definitely opening up and talking more keep it sweetheart ❤

[@008Birdman]

I thought that was a rattle snake based on the lines on its face looked more vertical than a bull snake. I thought I was wrong on my identification. Thanks for clarifying.

[@olliespackrt5763]

Are the artifacts on the regular ebay site?

[@tinadelwiche416]

Very interesting and informative. This should be a good idea to vent out the repeated questions. Maybe once a week Q andA😊

[@aknightthatsaysnee5259]

Greetings! Often you guys give a name to the mines. Do these names become official? Are your videos ever used for documentation for instance, for Search and Rescue units in the area?

[@lotharschiese8559]

Important question. Hope you know areas to stay clear of, nuclear testing and radioactive mineral deposits.

[@billmoulthrop2228]

Is there gold in the northeast? And if not, why?

[@jameskostman4082]

Hello my name is James I love all your adventures

[@bobterry2952]

Hello Laura and Gly. I was just wondering if you have ever gotten into Utah? We have a wonderful history of mining in the state. I think you could do a lot of work here if you wanted to. My family has a long history of prospecting and Mining.

[@PamIrishGirl]

Question(s): how do you locate the mines you enter? Have you ever been asked to join a missing persons search because of your knowledge of the area?

[@grahamnash9794]

Hello good people. Just a quick one. When was did the change over from safety fuse to electric spark for triggering of dynamite?

[@deralcarson5417]

I know you mostly do westen mines, but have you ever considered mines in the West Virginia/Ohio valley region?

[@jokkadread]

i love your videos old ones especially seeing alot of stuff and seeing a few new faces like Laura(not so new now ..yes!) and Mr.M.... but as much as it costs me to say it, take it easy your guys are not going to get any younger any time soon... idk i just hope really things work out for you guys!

[@lots-of-bricks9618]

Hi G&L! Just as a fun game: would you consider placing something in a random spot in a mine (like the rubber duck), then at the end of the video giving a prize to the first viewer who can say at what time in the video they saw it?

[@randyj4452]

Any chance you'll get up here to Montana? I know there has to be good mines to get into!

[@donaldmiller9130]

Gly: Back in the days of solo exploration, you used to make a point of leaving a bright warning mat outside of mines -- as a telltale sign to would-be rescuers that you were inside that location. I haven't observed such usage and many, many episodes. Wouldn't that still be a wise idea? What gives?!?

[@johnizitchiforalongtime]

I know not all mines are alike. Where there some that were striking similar?

[@thatguy6828]

This is a super cool idea for the channel. I think this will really make the viewer activity a lot more immersive and interesting. So now I have a question for you guys. How do you go about getting the history of the mines and what was being done at these locations? I now about the geological maps that are available, but I’ve noticed that you seem to have a lot of historical facts and information about these sites and I think that would be cool to “dig” into 😂🤣 You guys do an awesome job with this channel and I can’t believe you are going as hard at this as you are. I know that just out there exploring these things is a ton of work even though it’s fun, it’s still hard work. Stay safe out there and keep up the good work

[@wendellb36]

Has the mines around Virginia City been explored or is it possible?

[@bocephuswatasha2650]

Ever consider auctioning off a mining exploration with you two? Obviously, a waver or legal would have to be involved but man would that be cool! Maybe, I’ll run into y’all in AZ while you’re here!

[@PBRJOHN684]

All I would like to know is, Has Randy managed to keep his head out of the Pickle Jar?

[@TheTracker227]

You and Laura make a great team. Love your videos. I wish I could be there with you but I wouldn't go in the hole. I would just stay outside with my finger on the "9" button listening for that faint call for H E L P . LOL Be safe, luv you guys !!

[@tom13026]

Hey guys could you explain the back roads and trails you use and how you determine ones you can use and ones that are on private property etc. I want to adventure out and about in the same way so maps gps nav that you use would be great. Always love what you do keep pushing through the hate your above it and better than the angry comments. Much love..keep exploring.

[@deanmc178]

i missed it , watching now

[@stevemellin5806]

Your video s are fantastic .I was wondering if you would be in trouble going into mines that are marked keep out

[@feathercatcher]

If you could explore any mine, anywhere. What mine would it be and why?

[@silly0189]

Gly, pretty sure I remember your most frightening time when mine exploring. Laura what would be yours?

[@djklink20009]

Dunno why people wanna have a go at you two you're both lovely
