[@richardcrandell7678]

Cool Never be able to do this myself. So thanks for taking me along

[@SandyFielding-cl4dc]

Please! Always keep a madk on! People dont realize the dust and mold in those places can mess you up in the long run. Im praying God keeps you safe . Thank you for sharing with me. Id never have guts to go in places like that. Im truely glad there was an end. At least you knew noughting was in there to scare the heck out of ya. 😳Shuuuu! 🙂Great adventure! Thanks again for taking the time to share your video. 🥰🙏

[@Go4Corvette]

Thanks for the tour. That mine looks like solid rock. Love the cabin with the metal roof, very nice. They found a way to use everything and not waste it like they do today.

[@WLFF6086]

Great video thank you

[@rossprairietraveler974]

Is Hanta Virus a concern? Cool video.

[@winnettryan4566]

It’s amazing how from outside it looks like nothing and opens up like crazy is so cool

[@Askjeffwilliams]

never can tell how big a mine is gonna be based on the soze of the mine dump.....that was pretty cool and loving that old miner's cabin ...rare finds and a windlass too .... you should sample some of the ore bodies for Gold when you can and stay safe out there my brother

[@greybushthegreat2391]

I thought the area looked interesting too. Wish I knew where it was so I could go sample myself

Nice Chollas around the 21:00 mark when DT is talking about his boots. He knows how dangerous they can be. Barbs on the golden yellow spines hook into flesh and find a stick or knife to try to pry them loose. I found out the hard way. Mojave Desert area here.

[@casedoumasr656]

Yes to your great explores and a good adventurous mine p.s. Great choice DANNER boots 🏆🇺🇸

[@eliasmacleish5994]

I have been to this mine complex. It was one of the last ones I visited before moving to NY. The cabin looks to be in rougher shape than last time I saw it. Did you by chance explore the large talcum mine about 5 miles south west of there? Thanks for the video and good luck with your exploring.

[@genechronister7085]

Great vid! Northern nv. Here

[@OdySlim]

I love my Danner boots. My Merrells so far are pretty nice I have a very wide foot and they fit nicely.

[@KatWoman_]

A fun find. Good eye.

[@Kevin-mw9yl]

That Joshua Tree, at the third location, in conjunction, with the old miner's cabin, really did it for me.

[@robertgoodrich1823]

Do you know the location?

[@patdenney7046]

Good job!

[@SandyFielding-cl4dc]

Stay hydrated! Caring for your safety! 😊

[@ArthurSpangler-m5f]

When exploring areas that have mice or rat 🐀 droppings wear a mask with cartridge filters. Droppings and dust could cause serious health issues including hantavirus. Then change your clothes and wash up before climbing back into your vehicle.🚗 .Also carry a stick to turn over items for scorpions and snakes. 🐍 When I was younger I enjoyed exploring the Desert. Thanks for your the Video.

[@trishaporte]

Nice video, nice finds!

[@roger3786]

... get job on the mine exploration , do you ever bring a filter mask or air canister along ? after a friend of mine fell ill while exploring , I find it a must ... safe travels ...

[@markthomas4083]

I have fallen while searching for mines. Sometimes the search itself is more danger than the mine exploration. Time for me to reconsider all my potential hikes. So dangerous hiking and exploring alone. Finding friends or family that want to go with is a battle.

[@johnwest6354]

great video

[@ChrisyBrewer]

Always. B carefull

[@robertlyman9789]

It’s always interesting for all the workings, little to no evidence of a town ever existed

[@madmardigan246]

Yes they did wall off areas with equipment that they thought they were coming back to.

[@Black43Rose]

When I was a logger in the 80s with new Danners and Wesco was told to go stand in the creek. It worked great to break in my boots. I still wear the West Coast.

[@hrbailey379xhd]

Bought my first pair of Wesco caulk boots in 1976 and the last pair in 2000. Dang good boots.

[@billfoster213]

I bought Wesco boots for construction work in 2001, and by 2008 they were finally broke in... Most comfortable shoes that you can get after the break in period. 😅

You never know !

[@Davidautofull]

i thought that too but then i thought, what if he got back and it was gone? damn.

[@chefmike4414]

Lol 😂

[@chefmike4414]

Both of you make great points. Imagine though if he lost his keys in a mine, then he'd end up walking home in the desert anyways. I'd say that's even more likely to happen, than any of those other scenarios.

[@jonnieson9656]

I’ve bought several pairs of Danners and worth the extra money, comfortable and last for years.😊

[@naughtiusmaximus830]

Those cans would be interesting to test for lead.

[@VB-lz5cx]

What a view. Cant help but imagine cowboys riding across that waste. It would be nice to know where you are. Like, what state.

[@theogdirkdiggler]

Who in TF is going to be out there stealing stuff out of your rig? You are thevonly person crazy enough to drive out into the middle of nowhere! Mad props, you have big cajones!

[@keithmcfaul9310]

Did it ever cross your mind when you enter a portal and walk down an adit that there could be a large and dangerous critter somewhere in the mine? You're not even shining your light as far down the tunnel as possible to see what's ahead. Then again, you may not care if there is an animal in there or not until you come face to face with it.

[@RRaucina]

No dangerous animals here. It is not Idaho or Oregon.

[@mcdonoughdm]

He locks his truck in the middle of absolute nowhere. He obviously operates on a different wavelength

[@bloomnow6489]

Then there are also snakes

[@naughtiusmaximus830]

Do cougars range into the Mojave? That would be about the largest.

[@RRaucina]

@@naughtiusmaximus830 no

[@VB-lz5cx]

These miners lived like animals. Even animals need water. What a rough existence!

[@stevesyverson8625]

It appears that kerosene cans were repurposed as roofing on the cabin. What do you think DT?

[@ChrisyBrewer]

Look for front entrance unless you reple down. As you known they have the shafts for air allso.

Been there.

[@harrytruax5195]

Would that old cabin [around 5:00] be a good place to metal detect for old coins and the like?

[@stevesyverson8625]

Yes. I would start with the rock walls and the floor on the inside of the cabin. Then outside where the miners could be gathered. I found a nice silver belt buckle with turquoise outside a cabin in Esmeralda County, NV.

what happened to the ladder you were going to check out?

That's not a bad cabin that first one even though it's about ready to go and I know one thing going up that hill I just get a quad myself cruise up there pretty awesome walking is great exercise but you get there quicker with a quad???. 😊 When you get to be 66 you'll think like that.

[@joesmith-es1zy]

Vehicles in these kind of areas really tear up the land, and to really experience it you need to walk it.

[@patdenney7046]

Daners I’ll have to try a pair.

Here's one for you: remember all mining claims run 1500 ft by 600 ft.

Tiny little no-name mine in the middle of nowhere, and there’s an unsafe mine sign and fence 😂😂😂

Look down at that pile u went past.

[@SandyFielding-cl4dc]

Please be careful entering those mines an caves because you never know whats in those things. You do know several people have not come out of mines an caves because they become a snack to some THING😐STAY SAFE!

Its Death Valley you have zero large predators, maybe come across a small coyote. you have to be more careful of rattle snakes.

[@jcee2259]

My Suzuki DR 650-SE could do the abandoned road route easy, Hello ?

[@bigmoe231]

I find these trips to the desert interesting, however no one ever checks to see where these people got or kept their water. you can only bring so much in by donkey or truck.

[@Sonny_Eclipse]

Very interesting but “Unsafe mine, stay out stay alive” convinced me

[@pixj7338]

Odds are if the mine has no collapsed in the past 100 years odds it will not collapse while your inside. just have to watch for timbers and shafts.

[@bryontharp5790]

What were they mining there

[@callen.6371]

7:34 something flys by the screen did anyone eles see tat! I slowed it down! Turns out its just a bug lol 🐞

[@joesmith-es1zy]

It looked like there was nothing down there but basically a room sized area.

[@Craig52-zq1bt]

This is how you die: enter a tunnel in stone without an O2 meter. Poisonous gases from decomposing rock can kill you.

[@RRaucina]

Need more water in the rock for that danger

[@seanyancy1809]

Cool beans in solder cans.

[@peterchavez1221]

What were they mineing

[@bubbagump116]

Just a thought, stay out stay alive. That being said, bar down loose rock and always have a gas meter. Oh and edit all the walking😂

[@joesmith-es1zy]

I've always been surprised by these kind of explorers not knocking down loose rocks before walking the tunnels. It's one of the first things you do when you reopen a mine.

[@VB-lz5cx]

Arent you ever afraid? All by yourself.

Damn Goathead at 2:20 mark. They really stink and hurt.

From the 1920's or 30's.

How big of a section? 160

[@HGWTPaladin]

Sure, makes sure that it’s locked, otherwise a jackrabbit might steal it.

He's probably from a big city, it's second nature to lock your car.

To fence off. Take pictures

[@petekonovalov3907]

Curious, do you ever test the air quality, or radiation levels?

[@G32G22]

I tested it for him through my high conetech computer that detects anything out of the ordinary. The radiation levels were consistent with nuclear bombing, probably from the tests that were done underground in the area, air levels were fine, just a little dusty.

[@rogerfurneaux1529]

Although not stated, I presume the old timers were mining gold - nothing else would be valuable enough to warrant all the time and effort...but how on earth (or under it!) did they know where to start? Or which way to tunnel: were they following seams? And why is there no machinery on the surface? The rock would have had to be crushed and separated, both of which require water.
