Geology Bath: # 1 Mine We've Seen For Mineralization

[@stevesyverson8625]

You went all out on the closeups of the mineralization. You captured light reflection of small crystals twinkling like stars. I like it a lot! Sulfides of many metals. Fe, Ag, Pb, Cu to name a few. Nice camera for 1080p on my display.

[@Ed_in_Md]

I have no idea what you were showing us with that mineralization but it sure was beautiful.

[@coaldigger1998]

For those that don't know, the spitter cord connects to fuse ignitors that lights the safety fuse. You only have to light the spitter cord it then lights all other fuses in the round. A old safety and delay system.

0:21 BLM got to all the mines where I live in the Owens Valley. Such a bummer since there’s so many here! What a Cool location you found!

[@alexreifschneider4332]

Rock hounds! Would love this one.

[@rockymountain1201]

Man I don't even have to check these out on my own. Except a few. Great channel.

[@kerzwhile]

AWESOME mine!! Damn I wish you had a UV light in that chamber! 😮 gorgeous!! 😊

[@jeffchandler3390]

I'm case anyone's interested, the car was a 1940's Chevy or other GM (pre 1949).

[@gaeltroughton1069]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the close up shots of the heavily mineralized chamber.! Adds a much appreciated dimension to the mine exploring for us geologists In the audience. That chamber was a treasure chest of minerals.

[@lorrinbarth1969]

I've read from several sources how water circulates around a plume of hot subsurface magma dissolving minerals and redepositing then in a sequence of copper, lead, zinc near the surface as the water cools and the pressure decreases. What I haven't heard explained is how the entire periodic table is deposited in a chamber like you visited. What a magical place.

[@iainpaton1865]

Cool video friend thank you and please keep the great videos coming. From Scotland 😊

I'm addicted to those minerals!!! 👍

[@beardy4831]

@33:45 I suspect that was food storage. Partially underground to keep things cool. Be strange to have explosive storage so close to that fire pit.

[@danlutjemeier4183]

Gorgeous!

[@barringtonthelast]

I've been enjoying your efforts for around 6/7 years and I have a small request.would it be possible to do an ASMR video just walking through a mine (maybe with some text pointing out interesting points). No problem if it would take too much time to sort out,there's just something calming about the crunch of the boots on the floor (for me at least).cheers and keep exploring sir.

[@Ian_P]

Thank you. 👍😁

[@rolfsinkgraven]

A very nice explore, after the first entrance looking down i thought there was a body lying around it looked just like a leg with a foot on it lol and a nice boombox at the end. Looked like there was a lot more downstairs 😀

[@norandois]

Defenetely an interesting trip in this mine! Do you know what kind of mineralization down there? The way they mined it is pretty looking for a short mine!

[@anonymoos]

So weird to see the box with fuse cord and blasting caps like that!

[@VikingExploration60]

That nicotine coloured water looks like a sulphur pool (sulphuric acid), we see very similar here in the UK when there are sulphur rich mineral formations

[@beardy4831]

@13:30 there are two objects on the ground that look like flashlights. Any ideas?

[@beardy4831]

Did you find a Gnome hideout? In the 1960's my friend's big brother (Donald Carter) died exploring a Nevada mine. I never knew he was interested until after.....

[@TVRExploring]

Do you know the details of the accident that killed him?

[@goldcountryruss7035]

[@hello-ji7qj]

Auto focus mechanism?

[@desertriderukverun1002]

It’s surprising that the second mine had such extensive tunneling but almost no stopes or winzes. I imagine the areas that were plugged were where the stopes were

[@codeblue2112]

Lizard spotting 2:13

[@nefariumxxx]

Had one as a kid. Western Fence/Spiny Lizard, or variation. Blue belly gets brighter when they warm up. Mine was injured by predator before I caught it so had only one eye and a gimpy front leg. It lived well for a couple years on meal worms and other bugs. Name was "Popeye". Ha ha.

[@Vintage-Retro-finder]

I would love to go exploring with you

[@uwillnevahno6837]

18:28 Oh you know Jeff Williams would be in there with a pallet of sampling bags and a jackhammer!

[@jd-ku3iw]

Do you ever take samples from some of these mines?

[@beardy4831]

After watching several years of his videos, if he is taking samples he's very secretive about it. The general M.O. is that he takes videos, not samples.

[@rogergriffin9893]

There used to be rail in the left adit. I'm guessing they moved it to the right hand side that caved in.

[@MaxAmiga]

Wow!

[@SleepyFlowerPot-xr6uu]

What does the assay and geological reports say about this mine?

[@JTHAYERrocks]

The last place you showed looks like a food storage shed with the pipe coming in and that close to the house

[@danddiversified8477]

Heck yeah!!!!

[@eddiephillips6740]

These old Miners treat the country side as a trash dump with no concern with the future

[@jmarsh3347]

If they put track in that skinny drift it'll have to be HO gauge.

[@TVRExploring]

It would've been really funny if someone did that as a joke.

[@ScottVanArtsdalen]

That small outbuilding could have been an icehouse for food storage.

[@Rob-n3h7d]

The building behind the cabin is a root seller not for expensive storage

[@ManMountainMetals]

They sell roots?

[@Boga217]

I'd be tempted to dig in that rubble if the box full of pristine fuse cord etc was still there, I highly doubt many people have found that spot..wonder whst could be buried there.

[@chuckhussey9761]

What is the blue mineral? See that in alot in these mines

[@johncos1068]

You should take a black light with you. I have a feeling that chamber would have been even more 'psychedelic'.

[@Dave_9547]

It is hard to believe that they got all the minerals out of that one chamber. I know that the old miners were pretty good at taking the good stuff and the mine shows evidence of later visits by geologists, but it just can't be that colorful and be low grade ore???? But, what do I know, not a geologist either.

[@jonnycarrick7552]

I so wanted to say something funny about BLM but I’m British and I’d end up in jail 😢 got to say how sad when we can’t even joke around 😢

[@kadoj]

Even though the BLM is a US organization? Surely we can allow our friends across the pond to make a few jokes at our expense? We certainly deserve it, to some extent. If you can’t laugh at yourself, you have no right to laugh at anyone else, I say.

[@ManMountainMetals]

Remember last time we let them fool around? We got haggis and blood sausage that tastes like scabs.😱

[@Charlie-wq1gi]

Very good video as usual. Thing is, your a miner, shouldn't you know just a few of the minerals you see? Not being mean. I am NOT a geologist so who am I to say. 🤪

[@jeffchandler3390]

Im guessing most miners were/are only experts in the ores they were looking for

[@patdenney7046]

BLM and Forest service? Was that automatic G.F. ? Probably after somebody not wearing their helmet on their quad . What is an $85 tickets plus whatever else we can add it only cost $13,000 Plus $102,000 administration fee to write that ticket and whatever their wages are but we don’t count that our good old government. If you only knew how much they spent putting up these iron gates on these holes in the mountain unbelievable amounts . Plumbers has a full-time employee that’s all they do in six or seven assistance. Especially when the fire still going you know that stuff burned up that they spray around The mines. And they go out instead of fighting fire after the fire goes through and they seal them back up when the fire still out of control. Small gate cost more than a nice House 80% of the cost of the aministration . I think flying around in the helicopter is expensive plus their wages plus whatever else they’re doing +80% for aministration your tax dollars at work. If you poke around to the forest service stuff you can find all that they sent a lot of that stuff to me because I was on the list and Trying to keep the forest open so the people can access it it’s a little easier after the fire but it was getting bad before they didn’t want people in the forest they were down to that. They literally had maps that they were going to put out if that road was not on that map in the forest you could not go on you automatically Lose your vehicle vehicle forfeiture and huge fines. You couldn’t park more than a vehicle and a half lOff the road unless it was marked on that map and you don’t even have to break the law to get your vehicle impound scary fisherman goodbye miners ,mine explorers goodbye. They were supposed to wait 10 years and then it would be already implemented and nobody could do shit about it but the only waited three and then they wanted the Plumas County Sheriff to help them start enforcing it that’s when he found out that he can take away their power in the county so they can’t write no tickets and he did and three other counties here look it up on the Internet Plumas County Sheriff stands up to the forest service. It went viral in less than three hours it was so popular that’s why the other counties jumped on it the sheriffs department phones Internet that was all jammed up. People that was going hell yeah

[@hackertheslacker]

😂

[@SydneyRadio2UE]

Your sort of making this one up. Neither the BLM or the Forrest Service would be involved in law enforcement operations using Airbus H125's against mine explorers. Both the BLM and Forrest Service contract with commercial helicopter companies, whose pilots are not piece officer certified (allowed to carry firearm). Only DHS/CBP operate the H125, with pilots who are trained law enforcement officers.

[@TVRExploring]

I hope that you're playing along with the joke and are not being serious... Of course I was making that up. It was a joke! Did you not hear the automatic weapons fire? As far as I know, the Forest Service and BLM are not machine gunning mine explorers yet. Again, it was a joke.
