i spent much of my life in the State of Idaho and Oregon exploring old mines, abandoned ranches and just following old roads to see where the ended up. much like you do. I love to visit these types of places where I imagine what the people looked like, what they accomplished and marveled at the determination of these industrious people. I wonder why they left and where they went. iy life was much like yours except I had no way to document my experiences other than handwriting which I often didn't take the time to do so.

Thank you for not adding music in the background. I like hearing your feet crunching on the path.

nothing boring about these caves i see a ton of great geology so take your time showing it many many thousands years of sediments to see. thanks

Thanks for bringing us with u.

Always fun to tag along. Thanks! 👍👍👍👊😎

That's very solid looking rock 🪨 in these mines. Thanks for the tour. Mike

Thanks for the ride, I'm unable to do things like that anymore, be careful out there! "KEEP ON KEEPIN ON"

It's astounding to me these mines were most likely dug with a pick and shovel. Who were these miners? Where were they from? Where did they go? Did they really make enough money to survive as miners? A thousand questions that will never be answered. Thanks for allowing us to live these dreams through you.

I wish you would show different parts of the walls & ceilings slowly every now & then. There were so many right angles and things that looked like bricks. But thanks so much for this! Very awesome stuff to see! Hope you have some more Nevada videos I can watch!

thank-you for all the various mines.

That was a lot of steepness there!!! What were they Mining here???

Good video, looks like it was hard to hold a roof in that area, rock is too loose, but good explanation. Be safe

would be great for sum close up shots of the rocks.love your chanel

love to go along on your explores! I forgot to mention I did your onion rings on my last campout on Montgomery Pass! My buddy and I ate the heck out of them!

Awesome video thank you

After Gly, of Abandoned & Forgotten Places spoke of you, I had to check out your ventures.These adets seemed to be a layering of mud and sediment. Seen some Chert on the walls of the last adet you were in. I wonder what the miners were going for. The fossils that you pointed out denote that this area was under water some 1,000 of yrs. ago. I did not see any quartz vein on the back of the adet, onless the miners cleaned it out as they went in. You never showed the face to show what mineral may have peetered out. Your "explore" was interesting. Thank you for documenting it and taking us along.

All these people in the comments asking him to talk more, go do your own thing the way you want. Personally I like it this way. There's plenty others out there who ramble aimlessly. This is like I'm there.

In most mines, the tunnel is literally following the ore vein.. If the vein curves to the right, so does the tunnel. Finally all ore veins Peter out. However, there might be several veins which emerge from a main vein.

Nice video, looks pretty tough to get to some of these mines. Thanks for sharing! Do you ever worry about the air quality in the deeper or longer mines?

3:01 A walking stick, perhaps? Golf shoes? 10:06 Ten cents a can. Is it possible for a mine like this to be productive again? What would it take?

Some very small tunnels/tiny railroad where they worked children near the road leaving Sandy Valley

Great video... do you ever get lost ?

Silver pockets of it!

Probable makes sense to bring wire snips and wire or pliers to clip it and fix after with a crimp or wire wrap just don’t cut in the middle only @ ends you can mend with coat hanger make loops @ ends of the barb that you clip and run a coat hanger clipping through to mend it 😅😅😅

just came across this channel, love it, but isn't it dangerous to go alone??

Great explore and looks like good solid rock and almost no timber .As you where walking out it almost sounded like a steam train going upgrade in the loose gravel .Any way this was a great discovery and ⛏️🏆🤔 adventure

What do you think happened to the M-cave guy that explored the same territory in NV and had a very similar channel until his disappearance? He was very experienced like you and just gone one day without a trace.

Ya, not the most interesting video, but I appreciate the effort and the time it took to make it. Do you have a drone? That would be helpful to both you and your viewers.

Looking at the walls, what were they chasing? No veins

Have ever been to Castle Butte in the Mojave

They must have come in from elsewhere, 75 deg incline was not something I would think they would do daily

What map program are u using that displays the mine entrances

search it.

How did the miners get up and down that rock pile?

how did the miners do that trip and not fall to their deaths, it is a deadly climb and a lot of loose rocks, what if one lost their footing? What do you see on this tracking, first mine, was it real dangerous.

What were they mining at this location?

What were they mining for ?

If that was a deer bone, how'd did it get there, where is the rest of it, and how did it get passed the fence?

I questioned the animal that had dragged the deer in there and perhaps dispacted it.

Hi there. When was this mine last active? Thank you.

Any idea what the miners were looking for? Gold?

Mine dump vs. tailings.

It would make it far more interesting if you told us what they were looking for and why there.

What was everyone looking for in the west in the 1800's?

More narration please

U need to talk more on what u find and r coming up to

What about investing in A ATV.

Must have been some short miners in that claim, I heard you say that you're 6'4" hope you had on your hardhat

Do you ever have some one to go with you

We're they looking for gold ??

Why do people insist on going into these things alone? It only takes once for things to "go south" and your day in the hole is your last one.

As a SCUBA diver we always have a "dive buddy" who we rely on, and who relys on us, just in case. What you're doing is far more dangerous. I love your videos but worry about your solo explorations. Stay safe, Brother.

IF YOU ANT GATIIN NO GOUL U AR WASTIN TIME .🌍👍👍👍

Ever find your self in Phx,Az? There’s like 3 mines you can pretty much drive right up to all within 100’ of each other. Never been into any of them? Curious with out a light
