Hi friend you and your wife are doing a great job please keep the great videos coming friend from Scotland 😊

[@Miner49er1]

Thank you! Will do! Scotland, that’s awesome!

[@AbandonedMines11]

Great video! Digging out a mine is always exciting!

[@Miner49er1]

It sure is! You never know what you’ll find. Not as great a find as the one you and I dug, but still pretty nice.

[@Steven-vo8tk]

Great find this week. It always amazes me how nature layers the rocks.

[@Miner49er1]

Yes! I love the different layers! Sometimes they come out so beautiful.

[@rg3412]

Congratulations on the book!

[@Miner49er1]

Thank you so much 😀

Hi, that was a good one. You looked like a warthog digging out a burrow there! A few observations. 1. Squareish ceiling suggests at least some digging out or shapeing with a pick. 2. At 15.38 That rail was the cheaper strap rail, usually a 2X4 piece of wood with a steel strap nailed on top. 3. The spikes I saw were all round so not super old. 4. At 17.30, the flat concrete like surface. Faults in rock can be even smoother than that, its probably natural. Anyway, nice adventure. Cheers Daniel.

[@Miner49er1]

Great information, thanks for sharing!

[@shariselove]

17:29 rock slick...it comes from the rocks moving against each other.

[@Miner49er1]

Great info. Thanks!

[@shantyshitter3163]

You worked hard digging to show me another awesome adventure. Very beautiful. Thank you. See yawl next weekend. Stay safe and cool.

[@Miner49er1]

Thanks, you too!

[@thomasschafer846]

Digging just like a badger!!

[@Abijah12411]

Quick question🤔...have you ever thought of maybe taking some garden ribbons to mark at the outside of the mines you've explored. Mrs 49er: at time stamp 17:25 on your camera, I think there's the beginning of flow stones on the wall, Nick noted moisture where are now...

[@Miner49er1]

For what purpose? I do carry marking tape to help mark paths in extensive mines, but not to mark the outside.

[@brucelester6918]

I like your new intro graphics and music

[@Miner49er1]

Thank you! My nephew made that for me.

[@Jibs-HappyDesigns-990]

Not the minor 49er Groundhog! Not the minor 49er squirrel! It's got to be the minor 49er meerkat! Try covering Mr Fuzzy with a cut out orange sack! I noticed you were working on a book! Wow! That was totally crazy! That was a massive Shaft!

[@Miner49er1]

Yes it was!

[@traceyweideman3512]

Another nice find. Great job guys!

[@Miner49er1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jeanette8943]

very cool , thanks for uncovering it!

[@Miner49er1]

My pleasure!

[@casedoumasr656]

Hello well you did it boy that dirt was really flying ⛏️glad we all got to go exploring love your digging nice explore .p.s. what is your new book about

[@Miner49er1]

The book is about a young man practicing magic and who has to face a destiny he doesn’t want to accept. This is a very short snippet, but I’ll definitely give more as we get closer to a publication date. Thanks for your interest!

[@MarkBrockman1956]

The coloration is from a hydrothermal vein.

[@Miner49er1]

That’s cool!

[@MikeHarrison-no4zd]

Can u say what where they mining for ?

[@Miner49er1]

I can guess, but I don’t know for sure. Gold is common for other mines in the area.

[@davidkurzdorfer6402]

Later this year let me help contribute some more funds for more equipment to help you explore even more great locations and help the channel grow Keep up the good hard work sir

[@Miner49er1]

You’re too kind. Thank you!

[@davidkurzdorfer6402]

No it's respect hard working person like you sir sharing these adventures so average folks can come along and see adventures they never would other wise stay safe keep up good hard work

[@Miner49er1]

Lol..I know a Larry Fischer. 😊

[@Miner49er1]

Ha, that’s awesome!

[@puncherdavis9727]

So I'm new to your channel but if there is a fence blocking off a filled-in mine entrance for safety is this private land isn't this considered breaking and entering into private property which has been sealed off. And here you have a video of you doing it so the owners of the fence ever find this video would that get you in trouble I'm not saying this to happen I'm just curious

[@Miner49er1]

Good question. Short answer is no. Unless there is a no trespassing sign, it is not illegal. These fences are usually put there by the BLM to keep people safe; it was part of an initiative a few years ago.

[@jonfomaw756]

Is that a side arm? First time I noticed you waring one! Is that for unfriendly Critters? 🐺

[@Miner49er1]

Yes; mainly it’s for rattlesnakes.

[@dennisfraser6896]

I would have some one outside in case anything Went wrong.

[@Miner49er1]

Sound advice. Thanks!

[@tryin2figureitout]

You don’t think behind that plaster/concrete LF there could be something hidden behind that wall? Be a great place to hide a bunch of treasure. If it is and if you go get it I hope you cut me in. Just a little. Good luck

[@Miner49er1]

Could be!

[@bobsvideos8796]

I was missing your “Stay to the Right” momma.

[@Miner49er1]

😅😅😅

[@billprice6458]

So this is your property?

[@Miner49er1]

This is BLM land, as far as I can tell.
