Thanks Terry it was a cool find. Stuff like that always makes me wish I had a time machine and could go back and see what they were up to. I'm sure we all feel the same way. Thank you for all the work you've done documenting our history and getting those interviews from the "Old Timers".

The music always gets me on your vids. Loving all of them thanks for your work

Thank you Jordan. I wanted to do something a little different besides just talking non-stop like every other channel of this genre. Some people don't like music and want talking only, but I've found most people appreciate the music and want me to keep doing it. I've tried mixing it up a bit and doing some talking, but still staying true to the original videos and keeping the music. I try to find different music created by unknown artist. This way it helps promote their work.

Great video,music and information. Thank you for sharing. Both of my grandfathers were miners. I love history,mines and treasure hunting .⚒️

Awesome. Glad you enjoyed it. I had to quit using so much music in the videos because of copy right issues. One of my videos got banned for 6 months. Crazy stuff. The free music sucks.

Thanks for sharing and we’d never see it if you didn’t upload it. Thanks again

I'm just a redneck with an iPhone who's loved exploring around since I was a kid. LOL. I do love sharing these sites and appreciate you watching. Thank you for the compliment.

Glad to meet another person who appreciates the old buildings as much as I do. I think the old building was where the miners lived who were working some old company mines in the area. Next to that old building I found other old structures and about 4 or 5 old mines (not the mine featured in this video, that mine was found way up on the mountain). I think they were mining copper and gold. If you like old buildings/cabins, I have some other videos that you might enjoy. Thanks for watching.

Love all your videos❤❤ just wondering have you ever watched old lost mines? Very interesting, on u tube.

I've never heard of White Spar Mine. Most of the mines I document are in very remote locations and require hiking up unmarked trails. Where is White Spar located?

My honest opinion is it is time for US Forest service to go bye bye. Along with all the crooked politicians as well. They create the havic and problems we all are facing these days. Time to regulate them just as they try to regulate us. 😡

It is very frustrating, they also destroyed many old miners cabins on wilderness land. The best thing you can do is keep these places secret, this helps ensure they never get destroyed.

I’ll tell you all a trick of the trade that everyone has heard but never truly understood what it meant. The saying goes “ if you follow the rainbow you’ll come to a pot of gold” this is true but people think of the wrong rainbow. The true rainbow is to be found in the rock. If you follow the colours you’ll find valuable minerals like gold!!!!! TRUE FACT!

could a person open the mines back up

Hi James. Good question. Theoretically yes, just as long as nobody already has a claim on the old mine. It's a very risky endeavor and that's why I jokingly refer to the mine as "leaver-ite" in the video. Unlike the Old Time Prospectors, we have to deal with permitting, State and Federal EPA and God forbid you have even one employee; OSHA. Almost all the mines you see in my videos are very remote and hidden, I found this one exploring a deer/elk trail way up a canyon. There are no roads around or anything like that to get the ore out and sent off to a mill. Many of these old mines are very structurally unsound and would need to be made safe again before proceeding with any mining activities. If you ever found an old mine that produced high grade gold ore, it would be worth your time to clear it out and shore up the mine. If it was Silver or anything like that, it would probably be a waste of time. If you ever did open up one of these old mines the best route would be to do it for fun and make it a weekend hobby for creating a little side income for the family. Any large scale mining activity would cost millions of dollars up front in environmental impact surveys, road construction, insurance and clean-up activities. Thanks again for the question and glad you enjoyed the video.
