Watch out for bats and cactus spines - nice silver veins. Visible gold is always good to find !! Holy Moly !! You got Bats !! On the way out, there looks to be a copper vein on the back of the adit as you were filming the bats returning to the other drift. C130s - good closeups as they flew by !! Good idea to shake the rope and knock the loose stuff off before it drops on your head later. Cave crickets are cute. Great tour - great Video !!!

[@Gypsy839]

I really enjoy watching you two! Your explores are always entertaining thank you both. ❤️❤️❤️

I couldn't believe that he actually brought it back up lool

[@spidykat7188]

Always good to see my favorite mine explorers working together. Shout out to Gly. Thank you Frank for another kick butt video!!

[@spitztheweevil]

Love the show Frank , my highlight of the week . Many thanks gentlemen .

[@daveshrum1749]

You guys make good mine exploring Buddies. Frank you're not scared of anything sometimes to your detriment. And Gly is obviously a bit more I don't know let's call it shy of death lol. Gly " yes I'll film you falling". Gly's voice was awesome he was totally thinking you crazy Canadian bastard lol. Love the video guys, later everyone.

[@rickywhite6412]

Really enjoy it when you and Gly team up, keep up the great explorations

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Enjoyed watching. Great exploration and interesting old mines. The 130 footage was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy exploring and take care.

[@alexaraldi6458]

Am i the only that can only think about all that old perfectly dry and nice wood while watching his videos?

[@spidykat7188]

Would make beautiful fireplace mantels, or wood banding around windows.

[@glennwall552]

No and then there is water

[@rogerromero6250]

I have been watching some videos and I'm amazed how long this place has been. I cant imagine how hard and difficult this place is or has been. Just the condition the weather back then 100 yrs or more thanks for the tour I'll be watching more videos

[@canastasiou68]

You and Gly seem to have so much fun, it makes for good videos. Cheers Frank , thanks for the adventures.

The disabled bats sign was priceless. "I only see one disabled bat" he says. 😂😂

[@perfection4749]

I really like your guys’ collaboration.. excellent vid

[@revbobj3220]

Saturday morning! Coffee and the new Exploring Abandoned Mines video! A Colorado tradition! Thanks, as always! Great stuff!

[@nunstersplace]

They are making an awesome team and creating even better videos. I am a fan of both channels now.

[@darinday6930]

Very cool. I never knew I liked mines so much...lol. I live in Arizona, this makes me want to get out and check some mines out. Thanks guys!! Keep them coming!!

[@thomasallen3818]

Great bat footage.

[@robdedrick2052]

Was that Mine in Batmandu ? We would take handfuls of dry corn and watch the Bats go Top Gun when I was a Kid on the Farm . Best time was at late sunset . They are Cool .

[@excellentpuma8500]

Badass! Got the climbing gear out and slo mo'd the bats dancing. Nice. Yup, we're the same age Frank and 50x in better shape!

[@Zachmman1997]

Would you ever consider bringing a black light/UV flashlight with you? Might be worth it because some rocks will glow vibrant fluorescent colors under black light and they look very cool.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Just bought one we went into a real cool mine at Castle Dome called the Hall mine colors were awesome check out the pics on Facebook!

[@joshuanorris5860]

@@exploringabandonedmines nice! Include some video of the ultraviolate :D You could discover something maby :P

[@Herbybandit]

Scooby dooby doo where are you 😂 Those bats are all in a huddle cos there's two big predators wandering around their home!

[@barbararobinson7980]

Nice timbers on the ore bin. The bats will get you every time. Frank and Gly that plank of wood did not look strong, you 2 are crazy!! Frank that was a corker “That might be a little bit nasty - Good! “ you’re sense of humour is wicked. Oh I winced whey you pulled those cactus needles out of your hands. Gly you got mine fever going down that ladder. Nice slow-motion footage of those bats, great stuff guys, and thanks for the tip, now we know bat guano dust isn't good for humans. Good capture of the Hercules C-130 too. Nice outro. Every week you just pack so much in your explores.Thank you.Take care and be safe.⭐⭐🤩❤️

[@illeodavinci]

Very cool!! Loved the slow motion on them bats!!

[@charlesschulz8416]

Awesome vids guys stay safe greetings from Australia 👍

Thanks! Will do!

You guys rock these old mines! Nice snake jerky.

Mine exploring, bat filming, plane spotting.. And... subscribed!

[@rdamp2374]

Great Video Frank and Gly. All those bats but no gold platted ones.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Frank, those cactus get everywhere and they look like they hurt too, glad I'm in the UK lol. Those little baby rattlers were cute. Those bats all flying in slow motion was pretty awesome, a very ugly but strangely beautiful creature at the same time. Thanks for the entertainment, you guys together are so funny, hope you're enjoying Mexico. xx

[@mattgold2118]

Fantastic zoom on the C-130!

[@fredfarquar6709]

Good explores, good explorers! Thanks again for taking us along, Frank and Gly! Kinda wish you would have shown a closeup of that chunk with gold in it (gotta see the shiny!)! And this video shows the primary cause of both of you being batsh** crazy! Love you guys! ❤️❤️👍👍

[@christopherbassell423]

Be careful the bats carry a bed bug species!!! If u get bed bugs then u know...Great work!!!!

[@jeepejeep]

Just a tiny bit of gold gave ya gold fever there, Frank! LOL! What is the difference between a raise and a stope? Atta boy, Gly! Show Frank how it's done. Really nice slo-mo on the bats. Cool shot of the C-130's! Thanks!

[@exploringabandonedmines]

A stope is a large mined out cavity. A raise is a tunnel that is inclined from a level.

[@paulcooper2897]

Thanks for the explorations!

[@MrDuner356]

You need to come to Prescott! I'd be more than happy to show you guys the area!

[@michaeljacques7336]

Any recommendations? I have been back in old senator’s mine as far back as the big three way split, beyond that and your in neck deep water and the air gets bad. I know of a few other mines in the potato patch/ walker area but the don’t go more then a few hundred feet.

[@roaddog7542]

Thanks for taking us along on the adventure.

[@ronniecardy]

You both doing this exploring mines is cool !!

[@joeycallahan2933]

Hey you should go to the gold mine on gold mine island in Ontario ,CA lake Marmion When I was fishing we went to see it

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

Nice silver vein! Never seen gold found in a mine explore video before, wow. In the UK, you have to have a license to be anywhere around bats.

[@knightofnewaustin824]

6:47 you just gained a subscriber hahaha

They stink!

[@luka5208]

Back in the days, could you see the gold veins on the other rock surface?

[@exploringabandonedmines]

In some really rich mines but not usually in hard rock mines.

[@luka5208]

@@exploringabandonedmines But how did they decide where to enter the mountain?

[@timcantrell9673]

Excellent Video Frank

[@Caeser194]

I think of the song Fire on the Mountain watching your videos,if those walls could talk,the story of the mine and the men that worked them

[@ragingpatriot772]

You have great friends.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

I am lucky I have lots of awesome folks that show me awesome places!

Awesome as always Frank … TY ;)

[@badgerpa9]

It is pretty neat the way a bat flies. Have you ever come upon a big 4 legged animal? I hope you stay safe and healthy.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Porcupine was the biggest.

[@ericeric1251]

That’s near mineral county huh? I love that place my family owns land out there

[@TheDisabledGamersChannel]

I've been waiting a couple years since the first video i saw of yours when it was released, The Golden Crown Mine, i think it was 3 years, might be 2 but anyways, i new one day you'd find Gold in a Mine.

[@TheEarthHistorysConfusing]

Frank your own words form old video's was don't be lazy and always use ropes on places you have never been too. Good tour thank mate. xoxo

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Thanks and yes!

[@leehilton9932]

Very cool!! I think thats the most bats you've ever caught on video. There may have been a bunch of baby bats in that mass of bats that didn't move. Yall make a great combo!! Be safe out there man

[@jonesfactor9]

Gly got some nice slo-mo shots

[@dubdub5925]

Thank you Frank I was like gee maybe I wont get the crap scared out of me by bats today

[@timkallio1242]

Hello Frank I see your constantly dealing with alot of sketchy ladder ! you might want to rig yourself a ladder hook.All you need is is a hook about a ft long or less with a right hand bend. That would rest on the rung and the bend in the hook would go behind the right main stringer of the ladder. Connect hook to a 4 ft lanyard or more on a dring belt the ideas is set the hook climb repeat. Mentioned it a couple videos ago anyways safety first! it might let you push the envelope a little more keep real bros excellent vids.

[@WacKEDmaN]

sweet!...that last week went quick!..back here again! :P thanks Frank!

[@andreaadrianwilliams8843]

I don’t know why but I fucking love this and all your videos keep it up

One day, I wanna do a mine exploration video with you. I live in the nevada region, and it's something I've always wanted to do

[@johnbrownlee7623]

Frank am thinking gloves?..A?.....sure miss your drone.. Good job Frank........

[@tedc3895]

Could the bats be on a salt lick. ????

[@exploringabandonedmines]

No it is a roosting site. Quite common in temperate areas

[@bradmuth1014]

Frank Have you explored kennicott mine company in Alaska Motherlode copper mine?

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Never been to Alaska

[@blackdog.6398]

Yeah but the ladder is backwards. The limbs are pointing down !,, is that ok ? Well that looked scary ..

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Well the rungs can fall off easier.

[@dBREZ]

Gonna need a little gem hammer like seen on The Shawshank Redemption to get some gold.

[@BARBARIAN757]

maybe those bats had a fever, all cuddled together.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Bat orgy!

[@evanscreekbrahman7511]

Damn, Frank shooting a commercial for Sketchers relaxed-fit loafers at the bottom of a cactus filled mine ;>

[@scotturquhart4311]

How did they get the floors so smooth?

[@RuskaLover]

You guys take precautions to avoid spreading the white noise fungus?

[@exploringabandonedmines]

It is only found in hibernating bats.

[@RuskaLover]

@@exploringabandonedmines Thought it only killed bats who were hibernating, but it can be spread to other bats by cavers who visit cave to cave without decontaminating clothes and shoes.

[@almostserious75]

I hate caves but I love watching people explore them, especially Frank...haha....

Your content helps my closterphobia. I always wonder how many batteries you bring for your lights, and what other kind of "survival" type stuff you bring in your pack.

[@exploringabandonedmines]

Not much a little water.

[@RDEnduro]

I've never really seen mine exploring videos with metal detectors, would it help find gold or be a waste of energy?

[@exploringabandonedmines]

A waste of time I think.

[@cragus2004]

love the new intro#!!

[@raylowery9466]

It's funny, i have maybe enjoyed over 1,500 mining videos on KZbin and have yet to see ONE VIDEO where the crew actually filmed a live snake in a mine...........lol............i would think the mines would be full of snakes. I have also entered maybe 50 mines in the past 30-40 years and personally have yet to see one snake (of any species)...........If there was water in the mine (High desert of California, Lucerne Valley Ord mountains) saw a shitload of Chuckers (PARTRIGES)..... mostly hens and chicks during the summer, they stay in the cool mines during the day.............

[@exploringabandonedmines]

What about ring tailed cats?

There are quite a few species. Most I am not familiar with I did see Some Townsends and a Western small footed that we also have in Canada.
