I am to claustrophobic to go into a cave like that so it is so amazing and interesting to do an explore with you. Thanks for sharing.

No you’re not

You have really good directional intuition. I've watched you turn left and right several times, where I would have stuck to either the right hand or left hand rule. I was really surprised there were no ore cart tracks. That's a lot of rock to haul by manual labor. Thank you for the explore. I'm glad you got out safe.

Mules, wheel barrows, and bags one load at a time

The further you got into the tunnels, the more I held my breath lol...not sure why it affects me this way 🙂 What a great explore, thanks for taking us in there!

Wow, you were very lucky. I was wondering if that had ever happened to you. Am surprised this mine is still open. Take care, Mike

Beautiful view at the beginning . Thanks !

Man I feel you on the quake. I live in Southern New Mexico where we have a ton of Air Force fighter activity. More than once a sonic boom has gone off almost directly over a mine I'm in and you'll get a few little chunks dropping from the ceiling. High pucker factor! Cool video.

No worries from me trying to go to these places. I'm fine with watching you

Me too there’s plenty of old mine workings around where I live and some years back one of my older brothers friends got killed as his dog went down one chasing some creature and there was a fall in so I have a healthy respect for these places.

No worries from me either but not sure what guys problem is.

Safe viewing on a monitor from 1500 miles away. Many kind hearted thanks for a a fantastic explore.

Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Enjoyed the excitement!

It's incredible that that mine is still in pretty good shape seeing as it's over a hundred years old!!! Being in a mine when a earthquake hits must be like getting depth charged in a sub in WW2!!!

What an absolutely mind-blowing tunnel!

Fascinating, harrowing tour.

glad you are careful - you could spend a lot of time down there, getting out !!

You are a very brave man! Thank you!

Long mine, lots of color still in it. The clay and dirt makes a person think they are close to the surface. But nice mine stay safe.

Thanks for the look

That is a beast of a mine! I'd be petrified of being caught in an earthquake in there.

Such beautiful scenery. Thank you sir

Funny, My father and I were caught in an earthquake underground at a huge mine in the mountains near Yosemite. Never moved so fast in our lives. massive operation, lots of water and huge stopes. would love to go back and see if its still open. Indian flat area, private property. If you find a massive casting from a burned up grand piano, you are near the adit.

Bags of amfo nitrate mmmmmmmm serious blasting , hello country rock move out of the way curtain raiser and door opening expander and hole maker indeed travelling on through....amfo be like that leaves few cracks but much to be mucked out ,albeit in rather small pieces and associated dust motes , it made nitro gel a poor cousin and brought to the fore one cubic feet of rock will produce three cubic meters of rock its a geological scale and is true, hence wit the gobbing on older mines they saved trucking out the waste rock back in the dynamite days . @19:58 they where still following the seam of quarts I would guess. Hello from Australia opal miner here. Great explore indeed thanks for taking me along with you.

dang what a find, just when you think you have come to the end, a left or right turn, wouldnt want to be in that one when a quake hit....great video....

You have balls or part mole. Thinking how far you are underground gives me the chills.

Esta bonito por dentro pero que miedo entrar hasta el fondo ese hombre es valiente yo de ver estoy nerviosa como va salir a caminado mucho se puede perder ❤

Magnifique cette mine perdu dans la montagne 👍👍🤝🤝🔥🔥

It would be cool to build a house over that mine opening. What an awesome basement that would make.

Going back so far into a mine with so many turns and directions, I beleive I would brought along some chalk to mark the walls. Also they are dangerous to be in case of an earthquake!

Not just that, but you don't know what gases are in there.

That’s a doobie smoking view right there wow that’s gorgeous

Thanks again .. love ya

Восхитительно!!!

Hello, nice video!

Good videos

There is no way I would go into a crumbling death trap.

dang, that one looked a bit sketch there but super interesting with that clay and the tags from the 20's - stay safe sir. Thanks for the vid

It's nice to step into a tunnel like that when it's 20° outside.

I can use computer vision to detect the scenery and compare it to other videos or Google photos . N find the location . Good videos

Take care.

when you went in you took a left and that was the extent of the whole video, are you going to do a video of the other part? thank-you for the video.

Tell me about it sodorish too I would love to live close to an old abandoned mine one with railway tracks in it which go into mine shafts🇬🇧

Man. My biggest fear every time I tour the Chollar mine in Virginia City, Nevada, is a huge earthquake making it collapse 💀

It's not an explore, it is an exploration.

Love your work. What state is this in?

Did you check the temp while you were in there?

At 19:00 minuets you are way in there ,what were they mining for and where is all the rock from these tunnels and how did they get it out of there, i didn't see any tracks for wheeling it or carting it out? are there big piles outside the entrance that i missed? Great video, but creepy ,i wouldn't want to be in there.

Clay is what you find at the bottom of the river or glacial outwash. Fault gouge is what you find underground,same consistency.

What do the yellow ribbons hanging from the walls signify? I've seen them on some of your other videos also.

Probably other geologists taking samples and they mark the sample area with ribbons and numbers.

Those are survey markers and plat numbers. It might have been surveyed as recently as the 1980s ..

Yeah I noticed the ribbons as well, also plenty of red ones...one yellow one had MHF 44 written on it but the red ones seem to start with a P_ _ but couldn't get a clear look at those. Are they marking veins or what?

ကျေးဇူးပါ..။။

The guy who lives at Sarah Gordo mines he's got that view from his front door

What were they mining? The tunnels seem to be going in random directions.

YOU should NEVER go in alone ! OMG

Have you ever used an UV light when checking out old mines?

You need to turn down your light some when viewing the grappihti. It fads out what ever you are looking at for us. That carved out area behind the door looks like it was their dynamite or explosives storage. It looks like the earthquake or maybe just "time" brought down the rock work on the back of the adet. The mineral looks to be very porus on the walls the further that you went in. Do you have any idea what was being mined here? Thanks for your "no fear" explore for you & us.

Wonder if the old Miner's made clay pots on thier days off!?

And at the end is a very lit, white room with square walls, with a man sitting in a big leather chair behind a desk, smoking a cigar, looking up from a newspaper, asking if you have an appointment.

What did this mine produce???

Has this mine been surveyed? It seems that a lot of the wall markings are not that old......

People should be able to explore also where youarw exploring

I wonder why it has such a strong door on it?? There's got to be other levels seeing as it has ore chutes!

Egad, what's in an abandoned mine? Rattlesnakes and collapsing ceilings....

I'm the movie Prometheus they had a floating sphere. They just released. And it 3D mapped everything. To bad one is not available.

somebody let the monsters out .. that door was made to keep them in

Was this a gold mine or silver?

do the chances of a cave in increase much during an earthquake?

@johnpurdy3336

Depends on different factors like how strong or weak the rock in that area is and how strong the earthquake is. The weaker the rock, the weaker the earthquake can be to make it collapse, which greatly increases the chance of a cave in. Also depends on the depth of the earthquake.

Nica.

Love the video have you ever found blue jeans in one of those caves

I worry about you man , seeing a bag with “ Amonia -nitrate , Explosives “on it and trying to lift / and or move it , was NOT the brightest or safest thing to do !! I may not have as many years of experience going into old mines as you my friend, but I know Damn well how dangerous old Dynamite & explosives can become after long periods of moisture / humidity / etc, and if I run across ANY, I give them a wide berth & proceed with extreme caution . Messing with the wrong piece of history in an old mine shaft just might “ Blow up your KZread channel “ in ways you definitely won’t want it to. Just my 2 cents here . As you always say , “ Get out & explore , but stay safe “ . Better practice a bit more discretion in future around unknown bags or containers as you just never know …. C-ya hopefully on your next escapade. 😎👍

Said "East Shaft" lol.

If I were you, I'd get a prospecting permit, Get a decent metal detector ( Minelab equnox 800) and pin ponter. and go get the stuff the old timers had no clue of just under the surface.

That first cloud looks like a rat

i wonder about earthquakes ?

NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS

Bro has opps

I know exactly where you are. lol

Its got clay Its a mine.... Its a clay-mine 😂 This guy makes me nervous for 1 ... seems highly unprepared for such a deteriorated mine... And 2 he says he doesnt like showing too much scenery because other people try find it ... But dude they are no different to yourself... and if they do have a little dig or scratch ...who cares ... does it truly effect your life that much... apart from those 2 things great explore would love to see some samples taken home crush pan ect and results shown

I can't imagine anyone but other spelunkers are using google maps to determine where you are, so why do you feel the need to be so secretive about it? Are you "gatekeeping" your hobby?

If the location gets out, more people will come and vandalise the place, common sense

Location acquired! Spray paint and bags of trash loaded and ready to be dumped!! Thank you sir. And tire tracks will be followed to next location BWAHAHAHA!! 😮

Oh yeah, a house out here. No utilities, right? Got it.

"be safe" said the man who deep into a place that was one wrong move from giving him free funeral speedrun. yeah sure bud, im gonna continue watching you crazies play dice games with mother earth on my fat ass. but best of luck to you

It's extremely dangerous to enter any mine and you need permission from the owner of the mine if your not careful you could loose your life

If someone wants to know we're you are they will find you.

You are trespassing

Honestly kinda boring …

What were they mining in this place ?

What crazy purpose did this mole have? Futility!

I like how all you mine explorer’s think you keep things “secret “ it’s laughable a best ! Living in Nevada and California for years and exploring every single weekend and on days off I’ve been to every single mine that’s ever been posted on utube .heck I’ve even worked at some way back in the day .I could easily name the mine and mining district in any state west of the Rockies. Lol. So spare the melodrama and just make a video of you trespassing and leave it at that
