Hi Tom & Julie, the name of the spoon thing for pouring molten metal is called a ladle. That mine was crazy, it seemed to be more an up n down affair rather than drift mining that we usually see, it's what works I guess. Thank you for sharing, much love to you both & Pickles. xx ❤

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Sue, yes that is a ladle, but I was wondering if there was a special name the blacksmith or whomever used it called it. I found out after we explored this mine that the vein is nearly vertical, so maybe it's easier not to make long drifts. This one is pretty wild with pockets and small drifts going all over. Thanks for the nice comment and we three send our love. ❤😽⛏️

Hello Julie and Tom. Looks like this mine was worked a different times. Seeing that plastic piping in the mine. And the plastic Prestone container. Looks like they dug deep but since the drifts didn't go far I guess they didn't find much. Seeing that old 1937 newspaper was pretty cool. Very nice video.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hello Stephen, yes it was definitely worked at different times. It was first worked in 1922 so the plastic pipe is obviously not that old. Plastic pipe was not common until the 1970's. I believe that it produced a fair amount of valuable ore. The reason I say that is because the upper shaft I showed is almost 800 feet deep on a vein that is mostly vertical. I don't think they dug long horizontal drifts rather they followed the vein straight down. Thanks for watching and commenting, it's always good to hear from you!

Interesting little mine, though to my eye I would guess it never produced a whole lot. 31:25 The newspaper had an ad for Hawaiian Gardens in San Jose, CA. Where I live now years ago used to be called Hawaiian Gardens. I live behind what used to be a restaurant and bar, with a nice little stage where musicians would play. And the main boat launch was here where fishermen would launch their boats to fish in the river. A local celebrity named Morris Taylor got his start playing country music here. Then he had a country western music variety television show called The Morris Taylor Show that was one of the longest running TV shows in history. It started in 1956 and ran till 1995, then was shown in reruns till 1997, and in repeats till 2015, so was on the air for 59 years. My grandpa took me to a live taping of the television show some time around the late 1950s or early 1960s. Morris Taylor passed away January 2018 at the age of 98, and was honored on the floor of the United States House of Representatives by U.S. Congressman Doug LaMalfa.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

It sounds like the ad in the newspaper is the same place as where you live. If I remember correctly the same owners had two places one in SF and the other in San Jose. Thanks for all the info on Morris Taylor. It sounds like he had a full life and was a good influence on youngsters life yourself. Thanks for the comment, Duck!

Hey Justin, you've changed your channel name. Have you been out with Frank lately. I haven't heard from him for a month or two. Thanks for watching the video. You know how much all the rappelling gear adds to the complexity of an explore. We weren't sure what shape the ladders were in so roped up. They were good until that spot near the bottom where there must have been some water that rotted a section away. The slings girth hitched together worked fine. I'll have to get over to your channel to see what you've been up to.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

This one is just far enough out of the way to dodge the vandals. The rack and pinion gate is pretty nice. I don't know how they got up there to turn the handle though. I think it was cedar in the box. It had a nice smell. Thanks for watching and commenting, Robert!

[@RickNelsonMn]

I agree there looks like a lot of backfill. The newer works may have had interest in working the stopes closer to the shaft. Though backfilling must have been a major undertaking. Perhaps doing that took away valuable time to install the venting and get better at working stopes? A lot to conjecture about. I like that newspaper.

Not sure about the claim status, Ralph. We didn't see any sign of recent work being done. The plastic is obviously not terribly old, but it could have been there for 20 or thirty years. Who knows?

After doing some research on this mine, after we explored it, I found out that the mineral vein is nearly vertical.

The type of material, number of workers, type of equipment being used, the need for timbering to support the shaft etc. My guess is that it would be in the 10 feet per day range as an average. Thanks for the interesting comment, Larry! Anyone care to chime in?

Hi Tom and Julie. Just a note to let you know that KZbin has been taking people's Playlists and unsubscribing them . I have had it happen to about 90% of the people's sights that I watch all of a sudden vanish from my watch list including yours. Thought I should let you know.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Thanks for the heads up, William. I have heard about this same thing happening a couple times and even sent KZbin a notice about it. I have to believe it's a computer glitch of some sort because there is no advantage to KZbin, that I can think of, by unsubscribing people from channels that they watch. They want you to watch more not less. I hope they get it straightened out.

Nice place for a bug out place to live

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

I guess if you had to bug out for some reason, you could stay there.

[@michaelshannon7199]

How come you guys didn't collect any of your findings for a mining Museum. Others would enjoy what you found at those mines.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

You are not supposed to remove artifacts from mines. Besides, there are a lot of museums already out there. Thanks for the question, Michael.

[@Donaldperson7]

You should take cool stuff out of the mine and put it in the cabin?

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

We don't generally remove things from the mines. Anything in the cabin would surely disappear. Thanks for the comments, Donald!👍😁

Good eye, Robert. I didn't notice it until I was editing the video. I was going to slow down the video to get a better look at it but it was blurry. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Donaldperson7]

It looks fairly new?

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

👍

[@glennwall552]

By the plastic pipes it been 2000 on that it was last worked may of caved it them selves.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Thanks for watching and commenting, Glen. It's hard to tell from the plastic when this was last worked. Plastic pipe has been commonly used since the 1970's although as you said this was probably worked more recently than that. I should have looked more closely at the box of band clamps, or maybe the pipe itself, for a possible date on them.

А Вы берете себе в коллекцию старинные вещи, например, бутылки?

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

No we do not take anything from the mines. We leave them for the next person to see and enjoy. We don't leave anything in the mines either like a business card, graffiti or trash. Thanks for the question!

[@TECHNOP.V.A.]

@@TomandJulieMineExploring Вы большие молодцы, правильно поступаете!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

@@TECHNOP.V.A. Thank you for the nice comment.

[@jeffreybamford1171]

probably been used with mercury that molten metal cup .

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

That could be although mercury is liquid at room temperature. It probably has multiple uses. Thanks, Jeffrey!

[@daleolson3506]

I always wonder where did they get the money to buy all this stuff?

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

A lot of times stock was sold to raise capital. Many were scammed out of their investments, too. The mine owners would artificially drive the stock price up by salting the mine and then sell their shares.

[@nathancruz9172]

Every abandoned mines in the United States 🇺🇸 are very dangerous out there.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Yes, they can be dangerous. Thanks for commenting!👍

[@philliphall5198]

Makes you wonder how many miners were killed and not reported I can see them doing this to not cause fear of working in there unsafe mine With millions waiting to be hauled out they would not take a chance of losing it

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Mining was, and still is, a dangerous job. OSHA has made regulations to promote safety, but it's still hazardous. Thanks for the comment, Phillip!👍👍

[@Donaldperson7]

Copy! Copy! I told you forget the beer!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Haha, okay if you say so.

[@mikelang8020]

When I Ever Going to Grow Up I want to be You Tom LoL 😂😆 Haaaaaaa

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi Mike. Be careful what you wish for...you might end up being a mine explorer. It's not an easy hobby. Thanks for the comment! 👌😁

[@OnDottedLine]

Does it bother anybody else how the Earth has been treated for somebody's gain ? I don't think this ends well on a global scale.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

We all depend on the raw metals and minerals that come from mining. They do make a mess of things, though. It is a necessary evil the way I see things. Thanks for your input, Jim!

[@daleolson3506]

Do you have a house,a car,drive on a road? All thanks to mining.

[@garylee9437]

You have got to have the best wife on the planet. My will not do anything I love to do.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

She's a pretty good sport about things. Good luck, Gary!😆👍
