Once In A Lifetime Find In This 1800s Gold Mine ⛏️ part 2

In this abandoned mine explore we experience the mine explorer's find of a lifetime after rappelling down the shaft of this 1800s gold mine. This is a return to the beautiful mine that we visited two weeks ago and featured in a previous video. If you haven't seen the video of our first trip to this mine, here is a link to that.
• One Of Our Favorite Mi...
We brought our climbing ropes and gear to rappel down the 200 foot deep shaft. We had no idea what to expect or if there were even any drift levels. The shaft is very steep, nearly vertical, with no skip track or wooden infrastructure. Before we could descend the shaft, we had to secure the trap doors that would open and close to allow the skip to be raised up and to dump into an ore car. They had come loose from their hinges and were hanging precariously over the shaft by a single rope. After securing the trap doors, we rappelled down the shaft and found a working level about 80 feet down. We also go all the way to the bottom of the shaft to see what is there. After exploring over 1000 mines in the last eight years, we have not seen any with better artifacts than this one has.
We hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed this very rewarding explore!

AWESOME FINDS! This is what mine exploration is all about. Way to go T&J! PS.. Thanks for the extra effort Tom. I could almost feel your agony. 😊

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Thanks, Ralph. It was a fun one!👍😄

[@danielbarrows7144]

That miners lamp is by far one of the coolest things I've seen in a while! Very nice find guys 🕯

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Yes, it's only the second one we have seen after exploring over 1000 mines. The other was only half there and was washed out of a waste rock pile after a heavy rain. Thanks for the comment, Daniel!👍😄

Thanks, Tom and Julie 👍

You're welcome, Lloyd. Thanks for watching!👍

[@Askjeffwilliams]

now that is some cool find you two ....the harder to reach areas always produces the best stuff ...looks like they were using a skip bucket to hoist the muck with ....really loving that Carbide lantern ....that is very rare indeed ....good job ....really nice looking Powder box ... good job making the 200 feet .... you might want to use a chest ascender ( Croll ) ....we smashed that like button and now we expect you guys to rappel more shaft ....so you know what we are gonna say huh

[@jimmime]

Com' on let's go!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Yes, some good finds in that small drift. Apparently, not many people have been down there. I figured they used a skip bucket with that flat car. We've been down a lot of shafts on rope over the last few years. That sort of thing is coming to an end at my age. (67) Thanks for liking and commenting, Jeff! Much appreciated Sonny J.👍😄

[@johncampbell2979]

I just new me old mucker would be very interested in the ore cart, you could use that in your mine, YEAH ! and the miners lamp, it would be nice to see them at work in a real time situation.

Boy you sure got lucky, you had enough rope. That miners lamp was cool. That poor Fox. Thanks for taking us along with you guys. Looking forward to the next video. 458 views in 1 hour. Pretty cool man. That looks pretty hard climbing back up. You guys must be in pretty good shape to do that.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Yes, the rope length worked out perfectly. We had more rope at the top but we would have had to climb back up to get it. As I was going down, I thought for sure the rope was going to come up 10 feet short. Yes, some very cool finds in this one. We see a lot of foxes at the bottom of shafts. They must come into the mines to hunt rats, at least that's my guess. Thanks for the comment, brother Eddie. Hope all is well with you!👍😄

There are some cool artifacts. Tom & Julie thankyou for your awsome videos .Afew years ago i found out i have got COPD and this year has really affected me badly, to the point i'm vertually house bound. So your videos allow me to go places that are such a joy for me.once again thank you for the hard work.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

So sorry to hear about your COPD and how it's affecting you, Karl. That is really too bad. We get this type of comment regularly, and it really means a lot to us that you are getting some value from our videos. We are very happy that you can go exploring with us vicariously and enjoy the things we are seeing. Thank you so much for commenting, and we hope you can stay comfortable.🙏👌😊

[@johncampbell2979]

Hi there, ! Tom & Julie, you's two certainly put a lot of hard sweat and work into this mine explore, I would have taken the rare miner's lamp out ,and donated it to a museum, because someone will eventually take it for themselves,and the explosives box as well , better for it's preservation,and more people to see and enjoy. Very kindest regards, STAY SAFE ❗

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi John. This one was a bit of work. It's a physically demanding hobby. My thoughts on the museum is that there is already a mining museum in just about every town in these mining areas and very few mines with artifacts left in them so I like to leave things as we find them. I appreciate and understand your view on that, though. Thanks for commenting!👍😄

[@lesleyrobbins1137]

[@ronstanek2851]

Hi Tom and Julie, it’s been a long time since I had watched your videos. Been in California visiting my sister in rehab with cancer, but slowly getting better. Now visiting my daughter in Vegas here until Monday then back to Tucson home. Been gone for over a month, but Wow is this an adventure you have me watching ! Is this the 1st time finding a miners lantern? Also a rare tea tin. Your right, you could hear us saying keep going down! So sorry for all that to reach bottom and no level. You both receive our admiration and blessings, all the best in health and safe continued mine journeys! Fantastic job!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Sorry to hear about your sister, Ron. The big C is nothing to fool around with. Glad that it sounds like she is getting better. This is the second lamp that I've found. The first one washed out of the bottom of a waste rock pile after a good rain. It was missing the bottom half and was headed for the wash, so I kept that one. That tea can was pretty cool, too. We've seen a bunch of those but never knew what they were. Thanks for the kind words. We appreciate it!👌😊

[@Jake-yx7ct]

That was a super find..the cart and hand drills along with that intact headlamp. Very nice exploreTom Julie thanks for your posting this great video. It went well with my morning cup of Joe. Be safe folks.💜💜💜☕☕

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Thanks, Jake! Glad that you enjoyed the finds. 👍😄

[@TheShornak]

Hello Julie and Tom. Well that's really really cool finding those artifacts at the 80 foot level. I would say that since those artifacts are still there that you're probably the first they have ever been down there of all the years and all the videos I've ever watched about mine exploration this is the first time I've ever seen a Miner's lamp. That was truly an awesome find. And also finding that cart that still had wheels on it. Excellent video that was definitely worth going down at least to the 80 ft.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hello Stephen. You don't see many lamps like that anymore. The flat car was fun to see, too. I think you're correct that nobody has been down there in a long time. I think one of the reasons no one has gone down there is that the trap doors at the top were hanging by a piece of rope over the shaft. I didn't show it in this video, but we had to haul them up and secure them before we could safely go down the shaft. Sometimes, it pays to do a little extra work like that. Glad that you enjoyed the video and thanks for commenting!👍😄

[@jeffjones6115]

that Carbide lantern was a great find! and that complete box, very cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

That's the first time we've had a complete headlamp and dynamite box together in a mine. The other stuff was fun to see, too. Thanks for watching and commenting, Jeff!👌😁

[@karlmcgowan9375]

Tom, Julie, In the last video, you came across that beam about 3 ft off the ground with that hook device. Did you find out what it was used for. what got me was that it was so close to the ground. These videos are a real joy to watch because you will hike sevveral miles just to get to the mines.Thank you.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

I never did find out what that beam was for. I really liked that blacksmith work on that hook, though. It's nice that you get some joy from our videos, Karl. Thank you!👍😁

[@EverydayProjects]

You two are so incredibly brave and adventurous ! You are a couple of serious explorers and you are not just providing a vicarious experience for those of us that would never get into these places but you keep doing it; No resting on your laurels for you two--You keep producing these. Amazing ! I haven't checked in in quite a while but I am very pleased to see you both out there enjoying yousrselves. Congratulations on the growth of your channel. Great finds in there. I'd have six ropes on me and not go down there anyway...haha. keep doing what you do Tom & Julie !

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Well, Craig, the six ropes sounds like a good idea. That one rope feels awfully small when you step out into the shaft. Thanks for the awesome comment. I'll have to get over to your channel to see what predicaments you've been getting yourself into. Lol 👍😄

[@caryward8251]

Tom & Julie, another incredible adventure as usual! 9:15, Amazing discovery of all the fantastic artifacts with the small Flat Car, the Labeled Can, and the Miner’s Head Lamp as the top-of-the-line finds!! 12:20 & 13:22, extremely beautiful Ore Veins!! 14:33, neat-looking curved Pick or Chisel. 15:45, best preserved Dynamite Box I’ve seen; great find! 28:24, unique find of a Roll of Tape; another first for me! Now Tom & Julie, I am even more amazed at your physical abilities after out about your 530’ shaft climb two days before this excursion; truly epic accomplishment!! Thanks for going back to this Mine again; especially worth it!! Keep Safe & Healthy!!!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

You're welcome, Cary. Thank you for the awesome and detailed comment. You pretty much covered it all. Doing the explores in both those mines back to back was a little rough. You always get beat up a little when doing these explores, and it usually takes a couple of days to recover. We really appreciate you watching!👍😊

[@realnikonlover6207]

I have never seen a dynamite box up close before so that was super cool. The ones I have seen from a distance looked like pine boxes. This box you found looks like hardwood? With the dovetail edges it almost speaks of military grade box construction. Given the age of 1944, I wonder if that Dupont box was originally military surplus from WWII war effort? Great stuff. Kudos to you an two. AWESOME sauce!

Great explore and what cool finds. That car is a bucket car. That's my name for them. I ran one in Searchlight. Filled the bucket up and took it to the shaft where it was hooked to the cable. We had to ore buckets. While one was heading up to dump, i was already filling the other. Still hold the record of 22 buckets in a day, all wet from a flood.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

That's a great comment and story, Richard. I guess I had it figured right then. Sounds like you were a hard worker in your mining days. Thanks for the comment!👍😄❤️

[@davidsellars646]

I knew a guy that used a lamp like that over fifty years ago. He couldn't get it to light the time that I was around so I can't say that I ever witnessed how bright it may have been. Have you cleared the center of that car, you might have found a pivot for a bunk. My guess is that it was one half of a pair of cars used to haul timbers, rail, or other long material. Thank you for going the extra mile on this awesome mine.

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Hi David, I have used a carbide headlamp for a job I was working in the late 70's. They are surprisingly bright. I wouldn't compare them to a high output LED, but they work. I didn't clear off the car, so I don't know about the pivot. Glad that you enjoyed seeing the mine, and thanks for commenting!👍😁

I have ZERO knowledge of climbing, but that Jugging looks like a last resort when all else failed. Good grief, if that's the latest technology for ascending a rope, climbing must still be in it's infancy. I would only consider putting myself through that if I were retrieving a million dollars. You guys are amazing!!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

There are numerous ways to ascend a rope. The easiest is by using a powered ascender. It is a battery-operated device that is heavy and expensive. You can also use two ropes and foot ascenders, which is easier but requires more gear than the method we use. I don't think it took more than half an hour to jug up 200 feet. Some people spend 30 minutes on a treadmill, we spend that time getting a workout on a rope. Thanks for commenting, Ken!👍😄

In 1944 my grandfather worked at a DuPont plant in Alabama producing those explosives. He survived several accidents at the plant in his 20 years there. The powder house went up a few times.

Wow, that is an interesting story, John. Hopefully, he wasn't hurt too badly. Thanks for the comment!👍😁

I bought a carbide miner's lamp in the 1960's and used it in AZ. Still have it. Also still have a gallon can of carbide pellets too.

You find some really cool stuff ! A gas headlamp was a excellent find ! Well done you both !

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Yes, that is pretty rare to find a headlamp. This whole small drift was unreal. The lack of rats and even dust in there was amazing and kept things from getting dirty. Thanks for the nice comment, Norman!👍😊

[@scotts3938]
