DECADES of Rot and Collapse, You've Got to See to Believe!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Hey guys! I hope you’re enjoying your Labor Day weekend. Some of you may not have heard about what happened to my Jeep “Old Bob”. If you haven’t, here’s the link to that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIaUgYJ_g5KaaNksi=HtAMltzT-8uyPyZj

[@westcoast8562]

MAY AS WELL DITCH THAT POS JEEP AND BREAK INTO THE NEW AGE WITH A CYBERTRUCK PURCHASE.

[@markhooper5824]

Laura is a keeper. You are lucky to find this lady, who has the same interest and bravery to do what you do. First class. 😀

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: She really is some else. We’ve got so much in common, honestly, it would’ve been easier finding a unicorn 🦄.

[@johnbrownlee7623]

Thanks for bring me along...Glad to see some artifacts still in place....Good job n the Video................JB............

[@richardbrobeck2384]

Great Video ! this is a living Museum !

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Now that was nail biting. You’ll probably be the last people to enter that mine from the looks of those collapses. You guys are braver than us.! Looking forward to seeing Laura again soon. Good luck with Bob!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thanks guys! Yep, that was a rotten one. Too bad we couldn’t find a way past that collapse because this was, at one time, a really large mine.

[@gregphillips.1312]

Poor Old Bob, hopefully this will get you Bob's first Oil change for when you have run in the new Motor! 1971 was a good year, it made at least two Cool Dudes! ✌🇬🇧🍻🙏

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thank you very much!

[@Valkyrie801]

Gly & Laura make a good team! I love you guys, keep up the good explores! 🙂

[@jacklisiecki2389]

Wow! What a tight squeeze at the mine portal. Thanks to you, Gly, and Laura for another way cool adventure.

[@rayblyth9951]

I would like to thankyou both you make a great team much love to you both xx

[@davidhullinger3636]

You picked a good one, Gly. Laura seems really cool and has a great sense of HUMOR.😅👍

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: She’s great and you’ll be seeing more of her this fall and winter. 👍

[@shawnzalewski1917]

It’s been a fun week exploring two different mines in one week!! I’m glad Laura had a good time as well!! I’m hoping Old Bob has a speedy recovery!!

[@debrasonger8346]

Thank you GOD bless you both

[@johnterry8890]

Hello Gly. Thank you as always for the super great content! It is clear that you put a lot into this channel and all your efforts are absolutely appreciated. You are surely an expert and pro at what you so, plus can be quite comical on top of everything. Thanks for joining Laura! Thank you brother and take care. Stay safe.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thank you very much! I want to keep doing this for as long as I can.

[@earlshaner4441]

Good morning from Syracuse NY brother and your female friend and safety first always . And thank you for sharing your adventures

[@jenniffer9034]

Good morning Gly Happy Adventuring today

[@stephenmiller5023]

Thanks again for all you do Gly , and thank you as well Laura ! Glad you two are having fun & getting to do what you love to do . Again ,” good luck “on getting old Bob back up & running again . Happy trails to you both.🙂

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

Thanks, Laura!! Hope you're back.soon! 😊

[@willielangoor4369]

Didn't expect this episode as l watched you saying Bob is resting . getting a new heart and recharge . Another great episode . l think some company needs to give you a new Bob brother . as a sponsor for Jeep . Thanks for all the effort you put in to keep use on the pulse . Australia is watching

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: If I can find a good one at a good price I may consider purchasing another Jeep as a backup and keep it in storage for these kinds of situations. As the channel gets bigger that may eventually become and option.

[@willielangoor4369]

Who owns better Bob? may be an option @@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces

[@carbo2950]

Happy Labor Day! Thank you both. GREAT!

[@vlehr2903]

Please have Laura come back she has a peaceful quit spirit ,it gives a helpful and fun addition to youre adventures!God Bjess Vic,

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: She will. You’ll be seeing more of her this fall and winter.

[@imdoctorsan]

Hey! Like the change of the globe in the opening. Always showing us something different. Thanks Gly!

[@RobertSmith-os2zj]

Laura is a great addition to mine exploration. ❤

[@MidlandAngelGems]

Great explore as always, hope Ole Bob is back to his old self soon . Been great to meet you Laura ;-) x

[@Earlywinters09]

Gly: "Look at this nightmare." As he cheerfully presses on (Laura too!). 😂

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Haha! One man’s nightmare is another man’s playground.

[@markharris4778]

hey Laura, morning gly

[@creativeriver]

Hi Glen! It’s Kim🙋‍♀️ You are doing amazing work 🫶

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thank you very much!

[@bernardgonzales4195]

OH MAN, we wanted to see you go up the opening.

[@petewebster2977]

Nice adventure, Gly and Laura . Some very dodgy rotten timber in that mine. Yes, Frank would have been first in 🙂 See you next Sunday. Pete Australia 🇦🇺

[@MartyMacgyver]

I always enjoy your mine explorations, but your new partnership adds a happy new dimension to it all!

[@earlecox8030]

I seen it from the safety of my blue couch thank you for the adventure and safe

[@justinmoreland3570]

Awesome great mill site , most is the mill intact , also that mine was a little slim, not saying anything about you Gly , that sentiment is from another big guy! As always be safe ! See you next weekend ! Goodbye for now Laura!

[@johnfederkeil9211]

Wow what a location! Thanks for showing us!

[@ronyoung3167]

Very cool. Have you ever explored the Union Mine in Cera Gordo? That one is huge.

[@pittypatterputzzler5311]

Great videos on KZbin about that place, Google is your friend.

[@vlehr2903]

Youre music and intro are so great, please keep them that way it gives a sense of adventure and mystery!God Bless Vic.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: I really enjoyed the music I found for these two videos. It really worked out well.

[@cheycasters]

Great once again!!!🎸

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thanks!

[@jeanette8943]

very interesting to see a mine that nature is reclaiming

[@snodyalso]

You seriously should make a playlist of all the tracks you use in your videos

[@sandymcvicar2325]

Sorry to hear about Old Bob. So glad you are OK. That mine entrance was a very tight fit. At least you didn't have to scare Laura by taking any more cloths off.😲 Any content from you is great, do what you can until the wonder Jeep is all better.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thanks! It almost turned into an episode of Naked and Afraid! Lol

[@kncochran1]

Great video! Thanks for the excellent description of how a Slusher works. It was great to see Laura again.

[@sarahpovey6368]

What a scary mine!always look forward to Saturdays,great explore ❤

[@allenpatterson3504]

Great video it's really nice you have a partner to get your back

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: We’ve got really big plans!

[@Ben-uf3st]

Thanks again for all of your hard work.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thank you!

[@qldabandonedmines]

Glad you're not doing these locations solo anymore Gly. The ground at 15:50 is some of the most dangerous I've seen!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Yeah, it was truly bad in there. That was some of the most unstable ground I’ve probably ever walked under.

[@Friskee62]

Good stuff, Gly ...

[@ToddTalksTech]

Talk about an IMAX view of Gly's shorts.. the panocamera did a great job there!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Haha! Yep!

[@richardfellows5041]

You two are such a great team! Keep going!

[@JDJ1898JADE]

Thanks for the video. That was a scary one but you and Laura gave it a shot. Hope you are both having a happy labor day in spite of the circumstances.

[@StirlingLighthouse]

Riddle me this. If a root is a rut, And a roof is a ruf, What’s a Canada goose? A gus? 😝 The Canadian 🇨🇦 Air Force is always watching you. 🪿 Thanks a bunch Gly and Laura 🙏

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Hahaha! Yep!

[@macksrbest1884]

I bitched at you numerous times about going it alone , love your new partner brother be safe God bless

[@miltfreberg9582]

I always wanted to get out to Belmont and check it out but never did. Thank you for doing this video and sharing it with us. Hopefully Laura honestly considers the chocolate bribe and we see more of her. Thanks again

[@TopKat247]

Great video! More Laura with you!

[@willielangoor4369]

Wow l love this place

[@kennysherrill6542]

That was a sketchy old mine Gly, great effort to explore it but it's better to stay safe on one like this. Can't wait tell next week.👍❤️🇺🇸

[@francesrees4334]

This looks fun

[@briankemp5206]

Great adventure Gly and Laura!

[@GaryDaniels-ds2fb]

Great mine tour thank you showing all this to me snd others💕

[@richardwarnock2789]

4:35 Insert ACME Anvil Here!!!; )

[@Riddler7676]

That mine is a mess inside!!!

[@michaeldomanski9352]

Wow that mine reminds me of some of the old abandoned anthracite coal mines here in Pennsylvania. They are just so water damaged & collapsing......and awesome content as usual...please keep em' coming and the both of ya stay safe!

[@Riddler7676]

Thank God, no more drone stuff!!! Glad to see you out in person exploring!!! AWESOME!!!

[@robertlyman9789]

Sliding in wearing just his skibbies!

[@rolfsinkgraven]

That was another dont touch mine wow great explore Gly.

[@johnizitchiforalongtime]

Nice drone footage with soft music. Laura talked you into entering the mine, i don't think so. Women lead men to do things that they would not normally do. She showed you, you did the rest. My wife bought a wind mill, 10 feet tall, to assemble, it took some time, it had me babbled at one point but it fell into place by accident, ha ha, it took better than 2 hours to complete. That is a cluster mess, sketchy, i could think of other words that would not be appropriate. Wow, short journey, all that ore must have come from the winzes and stopes. It must have taken more time to get out than it took to get in, not disappointed. Wonderful but too short. Not like the other mines.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: It’s too bad this one was collapsed because this was at one time a very VERY large mine.

[@Riddler7676]

You both had a good time it seems, and Laura has skills as well!!! Hope you both can do this again!😊

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: We will! Stay tuned!

[@kathylammers8360]

Hey, Gly! So sorry about ol Bob. Will be able to help more when I get back from my son's wedding in Colorado. I absolutely cant get over your going in the scariest rottenest mine yet! I wouldn't have made it past the entrance, scared of snakes! I liked seeing the different minerals, though. My daughter will help me with navigating ebay. I liked seeing and appreciated the rxplanation of the scraper thing. How did they get it back in the mine? Carried it? How did yhey keep it from taking out the support posts as it scraped by? Maybe these are stupid questions! Thanks for explaining about how those beautiful rox were created! Love the colors. Hope u do well on your bids! Really loved the drone footage on this mine also. It was so cool to see an intact tram system. Hope Laura comes back real soon! So glad you have a buddy!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thanks Kathy! That slusher was brought in there long before the portal collapsed and has probably been sitting there for well over 80 years or so. This was a really cool site and Laura and I will be going back next summer to document a few things that we missed. Have fun at the wedding!

[@shantyshitter3163]

Fantastic.

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

Unable to donate right now Gly, I’ve a bunch of Doctor bills that are due. I’ll try the in a couple of months. So sorry about the engine. Appreciate all you do.

[@ellyk8834]

All some of us can do is watch, comment and give thumbs up. I think Gly appreciates we all have situations.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thank you!

[@beverlybaehm8119]

Gly we, in our younger years did a lot of mining, now being 80 + we just enjoy watching your all your videos. All our mining was placer so we aren't familiar with hard rock mining, we see you point out accumulators and wonder what they are and what they were used for, could you please explain them to us. We are very sorry to hear about "old bob" and the expense WOW that is very costly, we have been glad to donate before and are most assuredly going to do so again. Thank you for the mining ventures.

[@2rbeck]

That section of the mine may have been older than the 40's. I couldn't see any victaulic couplings on the old air and water lines. Victaulic revolutionized pipefitting in mines in the 1920's.

[@mikewhitlow4155]

Lol I thought you two were an idem. If it not you should be, she's awesome and so perfect for you. Love the videos please keep them coming.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: She’s accepted my offer of a lifetime’s worth of chocolates!

[@johncameron2241]

Was at that mine in 1990 you could just walk into that mine and there was a lower adit. The mine than had easy access no more that adit has totally changed for the worse. The road to mine is also much worse you could drive right up too it. Amazing what thirty some years will do. The mine is hardly recognizable from when I was there.

[@claudemartel7681]

The tanks you are inconthing is for air tanks to separate the water in the air . The change in temperature creates water in the air . Are mine was over 100 years old miles and miles of drifts. And one mile down . In Canada Ontario Timmins .

[@Riddler7676]

Probably last time this mine is documented. Really sketchy and Probably won't last much longer! Thank goodness you were able to do it. Is this the same Belmont that ran the silver mine at Cero Gordo?

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: I’m not sure, but it is the same Belmont that was up and running in Tonopah NV in the early 1900’s.

[@Riddler7676]

@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces ok, cool...thank you!

[@Riddler7676]

There have been several other times you took off your equipment to squeeze into a portal...Definitely not the first time...lol😊

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: I should’ve just sent the drone in there instead. 😉

[@Riddler7676]

@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces lol.. Touche....😆 🤣 😂 got me there...just please be careful Gly, that was sketchy and what you do matters to alot of people who care about your safety! My prayers are always with... And the drone😉

[@zantar2482]

What's with the Skyrim music lol? Good video.

[@josephsexton8310]

That metal sheeting says something about pitsburg. That must be where the metal sheeting was made.

[@richardsmith3199]

it is cool to watch a slusher in action

[@t0m541]

Looking at all the sketchy timbers and water ingress reminds me of a recent video of the Cerro Gordo mine complex. Have you thought about visiting there and doing a Collab, it would be interesting to get your take on how that project is going

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: I’ve considered it but so much of that location has already been documented I don’t think I’d have much more to offer.

[@ronaldmarberry9719]

When you had your but to the camera climbing in I kept thinking I hope he didn’t have beans with his breakfast !

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Never have huevos rancheros for breakfast on a mine exploring day. 💨

[@davidwhiteman5451]

Quite the skinny crawl to get into that mine, definitely a lot of the back has dropped and so glad none of it dropped while you both were in there. I think it would have been too dangerous for all of us to have physically been there with you so glad we were just there in spirit and visually to keep you both safe from us bumping the wrong item.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: That mine was pretty darn ugly. Too bad we couldn’t go further because there’s so much more! Next summer we’ll be looking for an alternative way in to hopefully bypass the collapse.

[@MrRadooka]

You have the best content, I’d love to coordinate an exploration in AZ sometime!! I have about 20 sites within one county here alone I have plans to explore!! But with 1,439 abandoned mines on the states record that’s a lot to cover, let me know sometime!!

[@craigbrowning9448]

I remember back in the "Gly & Mr. "M" days a Squeaker was used to ”Bleep Out" the dirty words!

[@jaycampbell5378]

Gly! You should prank Jeff by going over to his drift mine and doing an "abandoned" mine explore 😂

[@kncochran1]

And by the way, loved the drone intro.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thanks!

23:43 Date the air volume accumulator by the rivets.

[@marktadlock5428]

Gly, better you than me. I am just here to watch and learn.

[@carlmclelland7624]

Well Gly, I can honestly say, You've been somewhere in my state - above ground - that I've never been. I've been as far as the Belmont Mill, but not beyond it. Keep in mind, you're in the W**** ***E mountains, which is both high elevation, and WET. I never heard from Laura so I don't know if she was part of Washoe County or not. They had a 'company picnic' for current and retired deputies a couple weeks ago. I looked, but didn't see her there. (It's disheartening when you walk around and neither recognize nor recall any of the faces). Then I have to remind myself, I've been retired longer than I worked there. Stay smart... stay safe... and on to the next one!!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Thanks Carl! We were really hoping this one went In further because it is such a large mine but unfortunately there’s no way past that collapse. All you can do is try. Take care!

[@Curiosity-NZ]

Hey Gly, Here's hoping that Bob gets through its emergency surgery. But it's obvious that he's a stayer and therefore should be able to perform even better when they release him. Like some commentators have said "the Bucket was the cause of Bob's problem". Send the bucket on it's way. It will be good for you especially when Laura returns.

[@schneidp20]

Laura, I want to thank you for teaming up with Gly. Nothing against you Gly, but a female presence really took the channel to a new level. AND it was cool for you to show Gly a thing or two! We all hope for the best for you two, but I hope that at a minimum you two remain friends. You two seem like a good match. Take care and hope to see you soon!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Your wish is granted! Laura and I will be exploring together again this fall and winter in Arizona from time to time. 👍👍

[@jens.9155]

I know you probably can't see it Gly, but the rock colors were (pink, purple, yellow, brown, white, etc) so interesting.❤

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: I believe you!

[@earlshaner4441]

Wow

[@NikkiPeterson-d4l]

Great video Gly, thank you. Question: this mine seemed to have more rotting timber than most. Is the rotting of the timber due to moisture/water or?

[@glenrowland4220]

Do you have any bloopers to show?
