Abandoned & Forgotten Places
Documenting abandoned mines with the most innovative camera technologies and immersive filmmaking editing techniques on KZbin!
Shot entirely in 4K! ...so, turn up those video settings!
On this channel we go deep... REALLY DEEP into abandoned mines all throughout the western United States. We researched some of the harder to find mines, hike or 4x4 back into them to explore and reveal their hidden secrets. Many of these remote locations are filled with interesting artifacts, antiques and unique geology that will have you guessing as to why the old miners and prospectors worked so hard to find gold, silver, and other minerals.
A&FP moves just a bit slower and is filmed with a completely different style as compared to other mine exploring channels on KZbin. “Gly”, your host, discusses why the miners chose these sites and he points out the geology and minerals that got them excited. Veins of quartz filled with gold and silver made many men lose sleep in the 1800’s and early 1900’s and modern prospecting still does to this very day.
DANGERS? Oh yes, there’s allot of dangers associated with old mines. Un-exploded dynamite, blasting caps, bad air, bats, spiders, and snakes all find their home in abandoned mine shafts and tunnels. Oh, and let’s not forget rotting timbers, flooded passages and collapsing rock!
Gly approaches abandoned mine exploration with a strong emphasis on safety, utilizing appropriate equipment, training, and extensive experience to minimize risks. While it’s indisputable that exploring abandoned mines poses significant dangers, Gly's background in mining, coupled with over 30 years of experience in this field, equips him with a deep understanding of mining history, techniques, and mine layout, as well as a lifelong interest in amateur geology and two decades of experience in explosives regulation.

Glad to hear it. Isn't the freedom & liberty that we all have something to really celebrate?!!!!!

[@haroldishoy2113]

A happy Independence Day to you Gly M, and Randy, including everyone else involved we don’t see. I can just visualize Mr. Magnifico with a the Speedos and a purple cape, mother’s would be coming out pulling their children off the streets, Randy just might discover a new species in one of those mines and Gly will have a “normal” weekend, imagine that!

[@jmarsh3347]

Happy 4th July weekend Gly, Randy, & Mr. M!!!

Coca Cola syrup was indeed bottled in gallon glass bottles. That bottle was original. Thank you for another great video.

i go on lake superior to agate hunt and the black sand on the beach has gold you can sluce and other metals its just black iron sand but its cool cause the agates are formed from sulfur doing weird stuff too many years ago not relevant but just thought about it from the sulfur comment

[@deborahbaughman1366]

Thank you for keeping it family friendly. My five year old grandson loves to watch. ♥️♥️♥️

[@crominion6045]

I can confirm that this mine just keeps going and going. Gly and Randy popped up in my backyard in Arizona yesterday afternoon. Thought we had a sinkhole until I saw their mugs peer up over the edge. 😄

Cro Minion, I hope you offered them a beer and tortilla chips before they went on their way.🥳😝😜

Randy, thanks for coming back man

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

Thank you Gly and Randy.

[@mommaice]

Awesome!! That was kinda like going thru swiss cheese. Here's an idea for all mine explorers out there--take your business card (actual card) and attach it to the entrance of the mine shaft you started in--then DO NOT deface the inside. Miss seeing Mr M but wonderful to see more of Randy. Thanks Gly for taking us along!! Looking forward to the next one.

[@rockersfromaz3001]

Man I really wish you would show the walls more and better! The walls down there look amazing and I just wish I could see them close up! I love stuff like that!!!

Great video can’t wait for Saturday for part 2. Keep safe 👍

At 35:10 that's a great view of your empty holster. Lol I hope you didn't lose something in there. In all reality I love your videos like this.

The gymnast that is referenced at 4:14 is most likely Nadia Comaneci that won OS-gold 1976 in Montreal. She was from Romania !. Now she live is USA.

[@tonyross1181]

If memory serves me correctly, she was the first gymnast to score a perfect 10 for her routine.

Your skills as a filmmaker are becoming more impressive every week! Really can’t stand to watch anyone else. You’ve spoiled me, and I was a television engineer for 40 years! More, please! 💚

[@nilslin]

It amazes me all the time how much history is carved into those mines and artifacts. A well equipped and organised museum can't compete with this stuff. The more recent artifacts left do also tell their story, layer opon layer. Thank you for brining us with you! (And happy 4:th to you American friends)!

[@AfromanRants]

Thoroughly enjoying the intro with Google Earth comparisons to actual locations

[@PoppyFlux]

Love that you've brought your amazing intro back - I've missed it!! It's great to see & hear more of Randy. He comes across as shy and quiet, which I can relate, so it's nice to see him seeming to really enjoy the mine explore. Of course Mr M is missed, but hopefully he's enjoying his weekend with his missus and he'll be back soon :D Thank you for another great mine explore. I can't wait for next weekend's episode. The sneak peek at the end is tantalising. Happy 4th!!

[@crispy63]

Enjoy your work so much! Discovered your channel a couple months ago after watching Cerro Gordo mine vids. Enjoying going back and watching all your work. Be safe Gly and crew!

[@jameswik212]

I like the way you explain and show stuff. Also no flashing with lights so epileptics can look. Good and slow camera work makes it interesting, also good lighting. I like that you show the dangers of doing this kind of thing.

[@DavidC1]

have you ever explored a mine with people that used to work in the one that you are exploring?

[@chm95404]

Love my Saturday mornings, hot coffee and my mine exploration from my recliner. Thank you Gly, Randy and Mr. M,. I have many times wondered about mines, workings, and what clues miners looked for to start the dig. You have answered many the questions. Keep up the great work.

[@lynnmccurdythehdmmrc2561]

Assuming this is still in the Goldfield area of Nevada. We were there a week ago Friday. Sadly, the town is slow in recovering from 2020. Only found 3 people to talk with and a majority of the town was closed. BUT, was given a cool shirt from the Dinky Dinner. ;)

[@debcarpenter8519]

My friends were there in March. Pretty busy at the motels then. I think people stay away because of the heat this time of year. Happy 4th!

RE: the Coke bottle. It might have been a repurposed original. Coke used to sell concentrated uncarbonated syrup in pint and gallon sizes when I was a kid. (50s-60s) My mom used to use a teaspoon of that syrup as medicine for colds.

At 37:20 that's a Coke syrup bottle, the Coke fountains and coin-op pop machines used it, poured into buckets in the machine then water added as it was dispensed, my old boss ran a bunch of those machines in the 80's.

In the subject of mine tagging; Anyone who goes inside a mine should view it as entering a forest or coastline beach, leave it as you found it and take only photos and leave only footprints. Also an idea for another bumper sticker- “I will not buy mining artifacts”
