I Found 100 Year Old Levi's Down An Abandoned Mine (Finally!)

In this video I continue my descent down the Jefferson Chimney here at Cerro Gordo. The adventure took hundreds of feet of rope and multiple days. It didn't go exactly as I hoped, but in the end, I found something I've been looking for for a very long time!
Thank you all so much for the support over the past 18 months. If you haven't already, I hope you'll subscribe to the channel. Lots more mine explorations, building renovations, and historical walks in the near future!

I have to say, my one recurring concern when you make vids going into the mines is that you don't seem to use respirators. Given the lead content of much of the surrounding minerals and dust, I think it would go a long way towards protecting yourself and your team.

There's the Leica ScanStation P40 3D image processor and Leica BLK2GO handheld Scanner. Those can be used to make 3D topographical maps but they are so so so expensive, $100,000 and $60,000 USD and they go, together. There are undoubtedly, older model processors and other scanners but nothing like the Leica BLK2G0. With all that said, it might not be the best for what Brent is doing - typically, the aforementioned products are used to map out large buildings during the building/remodeling process or large, multi acre projects, the data is then put into modeling programs and used, accordingly. They would work for some caves and mines and can be rented for several thousand dollars a day but they probably don't want them taken, haphazardly, down into mines. Expensive, but nonetheless, really cool. Maybe, Brent could partner up with a company (that has a youtobe presence) that has 3D imaging equipment and they could make a "Thing" of it...that's the only way I ever see it happening.

The Saber-tooth Tigers I helped discover were in a cave. The entrance was found by construction workers who'd been digging shafts downward to support a new high- rise building within a USA State Capital. The tiger entry had collapsed in prehistoric ages leaving a mated pair stranded beside an underground water basin. The cave is under a steel manhole cover found within a parking garage lower level. With a ladder climb of about 100 feet. As seen today if you happen to go park under the building. Keep looking for tigers is your own underground outings.

The value of old LEVI's jeans goes back to an "all-call" from the LEVI company itself. If memory serves, most if not all of the original sample and patterns from the company's early history burned in a large fire. To get back their history, the company used to offer a sizeable bounty for samples dating before the fire. Shouldn't take much digging to find the full details on this, but I'm short on time at the moment. Even if this pair isn't worth anything, it's a cool find for the history of the town.

@@Kiev-en-3-jours True, but considering how he barely has any adverts on his videos (which is daft as it's a form of income), I think he's genuine.

[@kristycargile6917]

I'm just SO HAPPY for you!!!! Makes my heart smile to see you so excited!! 🌹

[@roen04]

Excite! Brent i just flew back to San Diego today from visiting with my family. I couldnt help to think about Cerro Gordo as I passed over the mountains! Stay blessed

[@pumpkinhead4449]

That hoisting engine on the 400 level is honestly so exciting! I work on antique steam engines, so honestly I'd love the challenge of trying to get it working, somehow.

[@nataliekay286]

You are an inspiration to the adventurer in me. Thank you for being brave enough to follow your passion and Curiosity 🙏❤️

[@bambo7294]

The enthusiasm you have for this really shines through into everything you do at Cerro Gordo!

[@slavikostadinov2129]

Thats amazing. As an archaeologist I can really relate with the experience of discovering relics of the past. I am really happy that u finnaly found the treasure you were searching for. Keep up the good work Brent.

"To think when I met you, you were afraid of a 20ft ladder" British humor...😀😁😂

[@toddmetzger]

Hey 20ft ladders hurt, when they fall and hit you. 🤪🤣🤣

[@donniebooth8478]

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more

[@gemmagem257]

Love every single video he posts. Tight line walking over a huge drop while using a rusty old railway track …had me on the edge 😀

[@CornPopsDood]

Know that a lot of us will revel in this moment just as much as you are! This is an amazing find. So happy to finally see you find the coveted Levi’s Brent!

[@blaketaylor4995]

I want to see y’all go all the way bro! I know it’s a long way down (and BACK UP!!!) but that’s what makes it so cool.

[@jeffgrey663]
