LOADED with Rare Artifacts, Hands Down the Best Abandoned Mine EVER!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Artifacts in mines has always been a controversial subject but feel free to share your thoughts and kindly debate amongst each other. By the way... Mr M has been working hard on new episodes so be sure to head over to his channel, subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss all the new videos. kzbin.info/door/dg1JMTJWcmQI17SOylAxIg

[@gregphillips.1312]

I think your approach to this sensitive subject is spot on, unless like you said it's a pair of Levi's or something really rare they should all be left. My philosophy when Bush crafting is leave no trace, it would be the same in a mine, leave it as you found it for others to enjoy.

[@theresa_lili]

I watch abandoned houses/mansions etc. It is a shame what is left behind. None to go to a museum, left to rot. I get your feelings on the mines. I wonder how long it takes for things to decompose down there? How big is the abandoned mine following? That mine looked like it was in very good condition, and even her treasures were soon to be forgotten.

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: Like a sliver in your finger that you just want to pull out so you can get on with your life artifacts in mines is a topic I’ve wanted to address for a very long time. For some this might seem as an opportunity to convince me otherwise but I can assure you that I stand firm by what I’ve said in the video. Regardless, I do respect your thoughts on the topic so feel free to share them here. Oh! And one more thing... I won’t be making a habit out of blurring things out in my future videos. It’s much easier to protect the site by just not showing that part of the mine but in this single video I wanted to make a point that I will go out of my way to protect sites as rare as this.

[@jamesburke5709]

Gly is there going to be a part two of this mine cause I'd love to see what's on down the decline

The "Hebe" milk company had to go out of business in 1923 due to Congress passing a law that stopped "filled" milk from being transported across state lines. Hebe Milk (owned by Carnation) took the butterfat out of regular milk, replaced it with coconut oil, and then canned the milk and sold it cheaper than regular evaporated milk. Hebe Milk Company than could sell the butterfat as butter and make more money. So your Hebe Milk cardboard box you found is most assuradly pre-1923 !!! Good find Gly !!!

Hi Gly Mr. M One-Eleven' American Cigarettes was introduced in 1922 a pack of 15 cigarettes selling for a dime. Later they came with 20 and 24 cigarettes. The one you found is 24 cigarettes with 3 men. 1 turk in his national costume, 1 top hatted Virginian Gentleman and 1 Indian representing Burley Tobacco. Together in a pose suggesting harmony.

[@samuelgilbert9734]

As a scuba diver who explores shipwrecks, I am so happy that you do not remove artifacts from the sites you explore. There are some shipwrecks that lose their value over time as people remove (steal?) artifacts. The same must be true for abandoned mines and other historical sites. I applaud you for your integrity!

[@samuelgilbert9734]

@@billseka4141 I'm not sure your example applies, since I'm guessing that most artifacts that people remove from sites do not have very high monetary value. For example, on a shipwreck I saw a couple of times, some divers have stolen the brass caps at the hand of each handle on the rudder wheel. They probably aren't worth much, but it makes the wreck less interesting for all the other people who see it.

[@jeffreymcneal1507]

@@samuelgilbert9734 This erosion by artifact plundering is a slow and invidious defiling of an archeological site. Tomb robbing, just not as dramatic. There was a cannon dating to the Mexican American war dug up from a street excavation. It was thrown into what was then the course of the Rio Grande to prevent it from falling into American hands. A private citizen added that to his collection, and now that he is dead, this artifact of El Paso's long history is gone forever. As well as bits of conquistador chain mail and other such artifacts. If not left in situ, it belongs in a public museum for all to obtain inspiration and wonder.

[@jakedode]

I say bring it all to the surface. Nobody enjoys it if they can't see it.

[@RandomTaco15]

Whats the best/favorite find while exploring?

[@Willppyro]

@@jakedodeI feel like it’s more respectful to take the artifacts out and clean them up and put them on display. Why let them rot away at the bottom of the mine. It’s not a damn grave site. Nor is it a tourist attraction it’s history that should be preserved not left abandoned and forgotten

[@grahamnash9794]

WOW. 2nd to none. If it wasn't for the dust, I'd think the miners would be coming back tomorrow for another day's work. Good to see Randy again, and more animated than in previous videos. So many exciting artefacts, all in one place, makes me wonder if other mines will be an anti climax in comparison. Can't wait for 102.

[@bewhitey]

Thanks for filming these in 4k! I just got a 4k TV and it is really awesome seeing all the grit and detail of this old mine. A+FP is probably the only youtube channel I watch out of like 70 that films at this resolution. Really great seeing Randy coming along...he is the archeologist, Gly is the explorer and Mr M is the comedian. Put them all together and you have Indiana Jones!

[@Guitarman1959]

This is the best episode to date! I really appreciate how you painstakingly leave these museums intact. Of course, not everyone who explores these abandoned and forgotten museums truly cares about the preservation aspect. Perhaps this episode can serve as how to explore properly like an adult, and not like a cheap pirate.

[@thomaswhite935]

I wish you guys could explore that last shaft. The deep one.

The mice being that deep in the mine is pretty amazing, like what could they possibly be eating down there...?

[@kathybahr2323]

Hey Guys...just saying....since you & yours take such risks as you do exploring these mines....when you come across precious/semi precious stones MAKE YOUR EFFORTS WORTHWHILE! As these mines are ABANDONED would assume you’d be well within legal rights to remove stones and / other artifacts found within these various mines. Got it, granted. Mines located on Federal land are very unlikely to allow gem removal. But, I’m a total novice here but always like the idea of people willing to go back to places long written off/abandoned as simply not worthwhile / “ profitable enough” to continue to investigate / explore mines where everyday folks can go back to & harvest what was left as “ not worth it” . Seems to me, would certainly be WORTH IT to those of us who aren’t big time commercial mining companies. Bring HOME the good stuff !

[@ababab28]

Das war ein wirkliches Abenteuer mit Euch zusammen diese Mine zu erkunden. Hinter jeder Ecke waren viele gegenstände zu sehen und zu erkunden. Zeugen einer längst vergangenen Zeit. Ich finde es toll wie Ihr die Gegenstände für die Nachwelt aufbewahrt und alles auch vor möglichen Beschädigungen schützt. Einfach fantastisch. Macht weiter so und gebt gut auf Euch acht. Ich finde Euch einfach klasse. Danke für die tollen Erlebnisse die ich mit Euch teilen kann.

Good job Guys!!! IMO the Nevada Mining Association should give you an award for going in to these mines and documenting a phenomenal history! NV has struck it rich again! Go Elko!

[@mikedoblo4782]

another loophole could be if the is unstable and going to be lost forever you could rescue the artefacts, donate them to a museum or auction them for a charity

[@gordonthrasher3004]

Gly, the way you handle the artifacts and then ensure that they are in a safe place you are converting these old mines into unique one of a kind Museums. Thanks to all three of you for being the way you are.

1 hr 20 mins that's like a freaking movie!! This is exciting i can't wait to see what you have in store for us this week

[@JasonWh]

in 1990, I moved to Japan and my friend found an entrance to the WWII tunnels built by the Japanese (we lived on Yokosuka Navy base and were minors). We went down into these cavernous tunnels and spent hours. About 15 minutes away from the entrance on the way out, the last light we had failed. I've never seen such darkness. It took us 45 minutes to make it to the entrance. Thankfully we had no more turns to take to get there. The reason I'll never go back underground again is, when we were in utter darkness, we both saw a pair of red dots about eye width apart behind us. No light reflecting off them present. I wet myself. Never again.

[@s2korpionic]

Nice.

[@Adam-qs5ir]

Oof

[@stevengill1736]

I got stuck behind an air door in a phosphate mine in Montana back in my mine exploration days. I had it propped open but the prop slipped and the door slammed shut behind me. The door was heavy duty, very well constructed, and it took me quite awhile to figure out how to open it. It was remote, no one around, no one would have found me for a long time.....this is why it's s good idea to let people know where you are when you hike alone far away from populated areas... Oh, BTW, this didn't stop me from mine exploration, but it definitely made me more careful! Of course that was a little minute or two ago....May, 1979...cheers.

[@davidwelsh829]

I disagree on 2 points, you operate in a generally dry area that preserves artifacts. Most other areas on Earth the items left underground are being consumed by time and the elements. I would rescue everything I could to save it from rusting into oblivion. The other case involves mines being sealed by the .Gov, take anything you can out of a mine you know is being blasted in the near future.

[@olliespackrt5763]
