Always enjoy the low traffic desert mines. Lots of history remaining there, a fair percent of the littler trinkets I'd not seen before either. The intact liquor labels were especially a treat. I'm encouraged by the growing number of channels withholding location information too, please continue that trend and spread the word; it means the preservation and continued access of underground like this for all caring, committed persons. Great video fellas, interested in seeing the next one.

I went into an old mine about 20 years ago in Ophir Utah. We walked in as it was open, went in several hundred feet. There were 4 railcars, one filled with old lead acid batteries as well as light strings and fresh air through it all. Arrows pointed the way out at every split. We walked and walked until I nearly stepped into a shaft right in the middle of the track. Threw a rock down and never heard it hit the bottom. Never went to a mine since then. I seriously was 2 steps from death.

I keep three flashlights while in the blanket fort because I'm scared of the dark. I keep wanting to explore the crawl space under my house but I'm still not brave enough yet. The last couple times I built the fort my wife got mad because I didn't clean up the mess. I want to leave it up so I always have a mine to explore, but she said it embarrassing explaining it to her friends when they come over. Last time we had company I stayed in my mine and watched these videos. She got super pissed, but she needs to realize I'm an explorer.

Back in 1994, I went in a mine, either very close to this or might be the same. The way you would know if it is, is, I came out red. The clay neer the opening got into my skin and was 3 showers to get it all off. I found a sear catalog, I believe 1904, some old crispy levis, 2 helmets with candle lanterns, prince Albert cans all over, much of the same stuff. But I also found a oval tin with 3 slim cigars in it and a box of wooden matches. In a few of the sections, we had to use ropes, the ladders were broken. every 20' or so, there were tunnels branching off. It was seriously deap. We explored it from sun down and tried to get out before sun up, because we were tresspassing and had to get out and down off the mountain before sun up but denied! Came out to a blazing sun. Damn lucky to belly crawl the entire way down the mountain across the road to a weed bad to wait for dark again. So much fun but a one in a life time opportunity. Driving back to CA, is usually a 4.5 hour drive but due to a death on the freeway, and a chopper landing, it took us almost 8 hours, setting in a non running car in 112 degree heat, with the entire fwy stopped waiting for them to clear the road.

Back in 1959-1963, in a place, called Actus? Gardens. 7 miles out of Mojave and 7 miles out of Rosmond, CA. Is a hill called "The Goldend Queen", is on its east face is the Golden Queen Mine. Shut down in 1935. Anywho we boys explored it as fare we could go. In 1961, we reached the ?800/900? Foot leval and found a Complete Steam Drill, just as the miners left it, still with the bit in its drill hole. When they shut the mine down. In '62, we explored other drifts at the 400' leval up. Found outcasts of all kinds and also 2 pull engines. All complete as everything else. It was AWESOME and I will always remember the experience!!! 🐸

Another GREAT VIDEO!!! 7:55 A koekepan / 'gholovan' 14:30 sliding rails we push it forward till it can fit a full length of rails, we then use this two sliding rail as the permanent rail and that two new rails as the next set of sliding rails. 16:03 A Cousin Jacks Box

I'm fascinated with that newspaper, seeing as it was from 1933 right when the government forced everybody to turn in their gold and then inflated the price. There was an article on the front cover about it but I couldn't make it. Standard Oil Consolidated and bought out all the other companies, they were the first antitrust issue that really made headlines. That's a great find you guys, I wish I could have been there to check it out

Excellent find, lots of fun looking at all those artifacts. What was it that fell out of the blue fly spray can at 25:03 ?

Good catch! That was an artifact me and Xavier noticed after I shut the camera off. It's a hand-made tool used to poke holes in the ends of sticks of dynamite. Blasting caps would then be placed in the holes.

that newspaper was an AMAZING find... it talked about the prez trying to get 4billion in funding for the new deal to put 1.5 million americans back to work... jan 11 1935 was almost 5 years after the market crash of 1929 in the middle of the depression. thank you for filming this historical find.

That stope had a ton of AU left in the ore, I saw AU all over those walls along the drift and the whinze, what’s the deal and why isn’t it active?

Very simple reason. To make a mine pay off after WWII they had to have good gold prices, the mine had to be upfitted with modern safety features which had to be done before any ore was removed and Install lighting and ventilation. You'd easily spend a couple million to do all that before you could start. Then you need a mill or go to a mill/smelter which probably don't exist any more anywhere near. Transportation costs to move tons of ore possibly hundreds of miles. Then there's the environmentalists to contend with and the impact statements and on and on, you get the idea. The landowner or current claim owner gets their share too. All this for MAYBE a half million in gold. No..

Awesome find keep it unidentified. Any time your in a dry mine like your in and find loose track rail check the side of it every so many feet you will find a manufacturer date I have several examples at home. On from Cambria Steel 1889 with five others of different gauge all are mine or narrow gauge railroad. Have you ever found a sticking Tommy candle holder I found on from the Calumet & Hecla copper Mining company 1850s.
