Getting Lost in a Massive Abandoned Mine!!!!

[@AbandonedMines11]

I don’t remember those messages on the ladder at 6:00 when I was initially in this mine several years ago. Don’t even remember that ladder. Yeah, it’s always odd coming across discarded shoes inside of a mine. After watching all of your footage, it’s amazing how massive this mine really is!

[@Miner49er1]

That ladder was tucked away. Easy to miss. Can’t believe how extensive this was. And we didn’t even climb up, only down!

[@shantyshitter3163]

Since the bags end at that large pile of dirt, Maybe the person that filled the sample bags fell prey to a back cave in and is under the pile of material.

[@Miner49er1]

Oof, that's not a pleasant thought! Let's hope that's not the case!

[@shantyshitter3163]

Awesome video but mysterious. Be safe my friend. Always an adventure watching your explorations.

[@Miner49er1]

Thank you! Have a great week, and I'll see you on the next one!

[@l.s.l]

I love this hobby and exploration in general. I wish I had the opportunity to have such adventures. But I'm having a hard time due to work pressure these days. Thank you for the good videos ❤

[@Miner49er1]

I’m glad you’re enjoying these. Life can get hectic sometimes; hang in there and keep telling yourself it’s gonna be a good day.

[@valium-fm7236]

That’s a big un . ‘ (I heard her say it) I missed Saturdays upload, so I’m going to go watch that next

[@Miner49er1]

Hope you enjoy it! This is a fun, massive mine!

[@Abijah12411]

Time 7:10-when are you going to get knee pads🤔🤣//those sample bags are probably marking where the rocks were taken from.

[@Miner49er1]

I think you’re right about the sample bags. Knee pads are on my list, but it’s a long one.

[@michaelshubr4084]

The samples are where they were taken at, and they will come back later and mark each sample location to the bags before collecting them. Some mine locations have hundreds, or thousands, of samples collected. Also, wall was marked “Hi Grade” which is a clue about the samples-not strange at all! I’m the go up the ladder guy!

[@Miner49er1]

Big grade, huh. Interesting! After talking with Frank, we realized that those bags have been there for over ten years. Thanks for sharing this information!

[@michaelshubr4084]

@@Miner49er1 Their operation was obviously cut short, and the samples taken, were never collected up. On Gly Coolness’s channel, he’s recorded sample shacks with thousands of samples and rooms filled with unopened bags-this process was going on continuously during active mining.

[@Miner49er1]

That makes sense. Mines went through turbulent times quite often.

[@dxproductions11]

Very cool video keep them coming

[@Miner49er1]

Thanks! Will do.

[@Biglukedozerlife70]

They’re a split sample , other sent for assay

[@Miner49er1]

Interesting. They must have bagged a lot of samples then!

[@casedoumasr656]

Hello Nick and Frank a team .Well Nick you finaly did it 💰💰x9 or more and now you will go to bed WONDERING how much where those ore Bags worth what kind of ore and WHY 😂 Any way you had a ? Who would leave there shoes in a mine ? Well the person WHO left them there of course 😂. Any way we shell find out more into the black hole down that ladder next time . P.s. Sleep soundly ⛏️💰💰🤔 p.s. This came out Friday ?not Saturday?

[@Miner49er1]

Hey, Case! Yup, I could have hit the big time, but oh well. Ha! Yeah, Friday because my sponsor asked if it was okay, and I agreed. Sure do appreciate those guys for helping me out.

[@oubliette862]

if it is talc there could be asbestos, that's no good. maybe the fuzzy cotton looking mineral is possibly precipitated ulexite. I used to have a small sample. I don't know about the solid stuff I can't see it well enough; I don't know where you are exactly so that makes it difficult for me to precisely identify things. not that I expect you to reveal that, but it's a factor. minerology isn't really my thing. I could totally be wrong, I'm not fact checking myself here. those grease cans you often find, I believe were used to lube ore cart rails where there were curves. I might consider going up the ladder, but I'm a 250lb guy, I'd feel more comfortable if I were not quite so heavy. if I could get back down to 215lb I'd be more agile, I'm just too fat for all that currently. I can tell you when climbing ladders like that don't use the rungs with your hands hold the sides as best you can.

[@Miner49er1]

Great info! Those ladders looked pretty good, but who knows. The bit about holding the ladder in the sides is good advice. Thank you!

[@BruceErb-g1q]

There's gold in them there bags woohoo you could be rich !!!!!!!!!

[@Miner49er1]

Ha, ha, maybe!

[@bobpace5464]

So you’re turning into dope attic I’m gonna have to find a different channel to watch cause I don’t like doers

[@Miner49er1]

Ha, nope, not this guy. I checked each ingredient, and they are each on the level. No funny stuff here.

[@franklinleven5933]

You seem drained...

[@Miner49er1]

Man, was I! This was the tail end of a 6 mile hike up and down several mountains. It was a great, fun day, but tiring! I sure appreciate your comment!

[@franklinleven5933]

@Miner49er1 I can't do any hiking anymore sadly but I do enjoy watching your videos

[@Miner49er1]

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m glad I can at least help you in my own small way.

[@franklinleven5933]

@Miner49er1 is ok my dude. I've learned to deal with it haha. I'm 36 and I've been disabled since I was 24. Atv accident but hey, I'm walking again!

[@Miner49er1]

That sucks about the accident, but it’s awesome about you walking again! Way to go!

[@Goodkarma2U]

I stopped watching frank because he talked too much about things that I don’t need to know about or hear, stay out stay alive(while he goes in🤔 6:24 🙁) dangers, leave it cleaner than it was before you were here, etc and on and on. I do happen to know that I am safe in a mine then in a car, plane or the streets of San Francisco, but he doesn’t say anything about that., so shut up frank and have your fun just making videos., that’s what I like. Everyone has become a do-gooder since going on yT and making videos. You are definitely fun to watch and you don’t really talk about any of that stuff!

[@Miner49er1]

Well, I'm glad I could entertain you. Thanks for the feedback!
