Beauty Of A Quartz Vein In Riverside Gold Mine

[@patlash8392]

The 4 cylinder engine and transmission is a 1924 Buick.They switched to offering only 6's in 25'. The intake is flipped upside down to run a later downdraft Carter carburetor. I honestly enjoy the machinery you find as much as the mines!

[@brushitoff503]

Congrats of basically 10 Years of Mine exploring!

[@ashleymilliken6754]

I also enjoy seeing the machinery at these old mine sites, I find it interesting the number of vintage Buick engines used in these old mining operations.

[@gpetheri]

3:10 to 3:50 would be one of the best shots you've ever done. Shows what a stope looks like before it's completely carved away into the usual massive overhang we usually see you crawling through.

[@williamwintemberg]

Love the compressor @0.24! It appeared to be at its original installed position. Thanks Justin and Crew!

[@TheSilmarillian]

Another amazing explore thanks for taking me along, Australia here.

[@qldabandonedmines]

Sensational work Justin. Thats a site i could picture myself being very happy mining above that river whilst it was operational. Stunning site!

[@infinus5]

thats the kind of site i would love to stake and bring back into production!

[@davidsnider1703]

Cool stuff laying every where. Good explore

[@scottrance-im7xz]

That Travelall was is a deluxe model , padded dash and deluxe interior trimline. Very heavy duty suspension and drivetrain . The right truck for its purpose there . Held 6 to 8 passengers and 4 wheel drive standard .

[@chrissaucier9386]

One of these days I'm going to come across something similar. Just much older. Definitely going to stake it 😁 Can't wait because it is soon upon 🥳

[@Speedy2222]

that international travelall is really cool. I am very surprised they were using it in the late 90's. The winch on the front is a reall nice touch.

[@volktales7005]

Always amazed at how good those abandoned vehicles look in California. And International like that would be restored where I live...

[@frankgaletzka8477]

Thsnk you for the Video and all your work you do to realize the Video. Absolut amazing how Generation of Miner until today work that Mine and leave their stuff and trash behind. Once up on a time archeologists will find this place in more than thousant years and they wonder what kind of civilisation may have lived their 😊 Greetings from Germany Yours Frank Galetzka

[@markhooper5824]

You guys really do visit sites that are easy on the eye.👍

[@leighsayers2628]

Fabulous explore ...great video .

[@Journeyman53]

Terrific video, thanks. That red topped pressure lamp more than likely has a manufacture date on it.

[@casedoumasr656]

Well nice find Justin so much to see and the international travelall would have made easy back then.Very surprised seeing the Gold pan still there love it all ⛏️🇺🇸😀

[@chris-nwue_B]

Nice looking area. The quartz looks interesting

[@TalRohan]

Its hard to believe there isnt more in that area, a big hunk of quartz like that doesnt just appear on its own, there has got to be more nearby. I'm with you Justin on the need for x-ray vision because its definitely there somewhere Thanks for sharing ...and being the ones that made the walk out there. Just a thought do you think you will ever run out of mines to visit?

[@ghosttownsandminesofwashington]

As always great stuff love all your explorations!

[@richardbrobeck2384]

great video !

[@SujakTuwin-t7g]

Good job Sir, love from lndonesia 😍

[@glassbackdiy3949]

looks like a sporty drive to get that International in there!

[@rolfsinkgraven]

A nice one again Justin, nice stuff too see, i always wonder why they leave everything behind sometimes, did they hit the Jackpot or just played even.

[@johncorlett3699]

Looks like a meat safe or fridge box for storing lunch, it was customary to hang lunch from the back of the mine to protect it from rats

[@scottrance-im7xz]

Thats about a 67 IH TRAVELALL 1200 . I owned a 68 I restored and drove for years and sold it about 8 years ago . Sad to see that all destroyed .

[@autotek7930]

Man save that gold pan!

[@StirlingLighthouse]

I’d be tempted to pan the creek a bit.

[@kevinholland4156]

I had an acquaintance who had a restored 1924 Dodge Roadster and it had a Yale lock next to the transmission tower. Pretty cool find.

[@paulcooper9135]

Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

[@uwillnevahno6837]

23:28 what's that yellow object in the distance? It's also in this shot 1:36. 16:13 and again here also there's a greyish object up above the remanent of the stairs.

[@beardy4831]

@16:13 the yellow object is there again. And higher up another something that is not natural. They both sorta look like tents.

[@dirkhartman9572]

​@@beardy4831That yellow thing looks like a tent

[@hootis8]

I love it, most people look at that as trash and an eye sore.

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

When grapes get established in California [no idea where you are, exactly, but this is generally true for all of California], they have the potential to be super productive. While the grape vine may be the product of former explorers, scrappers, government agents, etc, in time, it can fully fill that region with grapes in another couple of decades. I would be very encouraged by its presence, even if some people would see it as an invasive species, because grapes can reverse the process of desertification, since they are super drought tolerant.

[@Bob-Whiting]

Finally, some color @ 11:05

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

wow $$$$$$ and peace be upon you sir from me

[@sierramountainsrailfanning2114]

Never clicked so fast

[@twos2710]

Lmao

[@WheelieShinyGold]

hell ya

[@AIM54A]

Should have someone run the license plate.

[@TheScourge-sg5vv]

Prob stolen

[@mysterycrumble]

i love your x-ray vision take, i was thinking in a very similar... vein...!!! where they pinch off what are the chanes of it opening back up again? that's actually a genuine question btw. how often do miners give up on a vein just a few feet from it opening up again

[@Bob-Whiting]

Hey TVR, do you actually think it's possible that "they" worked/mined for years and didn't keep on Assaying or having the vein/ore assayed, and when they finally did... they were blown away that it has Very Low gold values? I mean, (and you know) that quartz is cool and all, but do you see any of "the signs" like, sulfides, iron or gold itself? Is it all SUPER fine microscopic flour gold? If someone offered to sell me this mine, I would be worried, It COULD have gold values, but it looks a little "barren" to me. But I ain't there and you guys are so... Thanks, hope to hear back from you as I'm super curious.

[@davegrummett1263]

If it was the 90's that mine was last being worked, I'm surprised that there was so much trash left. I would have thought the environmental laws would have been tough enough by that point that it would have been ill-advised to leave a site that way.

[@chrishines9835]

that is still an active mine. they're just doing things by hand and with 5 gallon buckets

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

With the current price of gold, its likely that the waste rock from that mine is now worth processing.

[@chrishines9835]

that aluminum ladder wasn't even oxidized it was shiny and new with home Depot buckets that's definitely an act of mine people are doing it by hand

[@markvolker1145]

What state is that in?

[@DiscoverFarOffPlaces]

I'm familiar with this one this is not far from Quartz Palace 🤙

[@TheSlimej]

I could be wrong, but this looks like bull quartz. Usually, gold is associated with quartz stringers, when it is sandwiched between two different materials i.e. granite and schist.

[@Dave_9547]

I'm thinking that those external pushrods for an OHV engine is a early Chevrolet, but just a guess because haven't cone any Internet research yet. The AC Delco is another clue that it is GM in origin.

[@DSmith-rc7gu]

Someone said 1924 Buick

[@snydedon9636]

Can anyone explain to me what a slusher is? Thanks

[@bengorrell2658]

Thanks buddy for your amazing videos, I always enjoy them, stay safe out there 😊

[@willwintter3526]

I think the cage could have been for canary birds and bad air.

[@adambatchelder4121]

Is that the one below the ranch with the deer?

[@TVRExploring]

A more accurate name would be the ranch with the bears, but, yes, you are correct.

[@adambatchelder4121]

@TVRExploring I was stumped until I saw the international.

[@oldschoolmoto]

@@TVRExploring can you make it down on dirt bike or jeep

[@oldschoolmoto]

@@adambatchelder4121 did you make it down on the bike

[@mwebb-01]

Not to old the junk seems. None the less it's interesting

[@warrenhuxtable9195]

Be safe Justin old mines only thing u find is your tombstone

[@cmpe43]

Please Please do start to finish. That could be a complete separate channel plus if youre camping out, another channel!

[@RobertAllen-b2t]

That is not a grape. Or a wild grape. That is a muscadine vine or scuppernong.

[@TVRExploring]

Both of which are grapes...?

[@chrishines9835]

does orange buckets was from home Depot

[@edwardmckenzie3402]

I can't imagine driving that International Carryall down that road! I'm sure it didn't have the power to get back out.

[@Baked_intell]

The Don an a tvr in the same day 😇 that cage was for the canary birds

[@anntomecklebarger3599]

I agree canary cage.

[@ivanferguson2509]

Yup, early miners used them as air monitor. If the bird dropped get out, pretty ingenious of those old timers.

[@captaincrunch5878]

Clean it up get the crap out of there, put the real stuff in a mining museum.
