The size of those Timbers is astounding! Those guys had to be STRONG!

Another great video Gly. The newspaper that was found @20:45 is from the Arazona Republic. Its was Page 14 on 03 Dec 1966.

What an awesome mine. Time stood still, and I'm glad you are keeping this location hidden as for sure vandals would have a field day there. Thank you, sir, for being a good guardian of places like this.

It always amazes me just how great the condition of the ladders & station are in after all these years. Beautiful wood. Fab video Gly & Laura. ❤😊

So glad you returned to this mine, I think this was a great mine shaft for Laura's first descent. Neat to see how they repurposed the broken mucker to be used for ore removal and possible flat car to bring work and rail further into the mine. Another Fantastic Saturday Morning Explore. Thank you for taking us with you both.

This was an a some episode. I remember episode 80 so well with Mr M lol😂 can't wait for next weeks episode 👍👍👍

Oh boy, now I have the big John ear worm in my head 😂😂😂😂

Hello Gly and Laura. Great job as always, been watching for years. Thanks for my Saturday morning cuppa coffee and wake up show. By the way that newspaper was from 1963 or 64. I could tell by the TV that it was color. Yes we had ugly decorations at that time, ducks on the wall in the living room and color TV came in about 63. I remember watching Disney in color and everybody from the block came to see our Montgomery wards color TV. Yeah I’m that old. Have a good year you two!

Awesome episode, can't wait until next Saturday. Now where's that other Beer ✌❤🙏🍻🇬🇧

This was great! So glad you came back. You should take Laura back to the yellow rope mine and have her explore where Frank went and look for another way you can get down in that area. It was such a neat explore. That is my all time favorite even if it was on Frank’s channel it was your find.

@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces

6 ай бұрын

“Gly”: Where Frank went is it, there is no other way into that area of the mine. A vertical shaft once accessed the area where he found the dynamite boxes but that’s all collapsed up top. Where he went and what he found is it, there’s really nothing more to document.

I didn't realize in 80 how big this one actually is and still another episode to go! Loving it guys and is Laura the one responsible for the social media expansions?

Also pretty cool seeing the drill holes on the ribs on the way back from the face of the mucker drift. Interesting how the blast didn't effect the rock on the rib-side, only inward. I find this so fascinating. I'd love to poke around in an old mine, but I sure am thankful for folks like Gly and Ms. Laura for bringing me along.

Thanks for the great video. There were a lot of good artifacts down there. It was worth the climb. I liked the way Laura checks for explosives, if you shake the bottle a little and it don't go KAY- f'n- BOOM, you know it ain't nitro.

I really wish people would treat the mines with respect like you always do. I always find it sad seeing modern trash left by explorers.

Wow I am going to have to go back and watch episode 80. I love this one it is exciting to see what you both found Thank you from the bottom of my heart. GOD bless you both and your ones. May he keep safe.

Great job you guys. Love all the timber. Corky is an ace name for a miner and your dog.😀

Great explore, lot of those plastic fluid bottles around almost make one think someone tried working that area in the 70s or even 80s. 50s still had mostly fluids in metal cans. Can't wait for more in this mine.

That might be the thing to do and a case of a mine with wiring for lights is to get a portable Power Station (Jackery, Bluetti, Etc +/- 1000W) run it into the Electrical Main to run the lighting, assuming the wiring is still good and at least some of the bulbs still work. It wouldn't run any electric machinery but the lighting it would probably handle.

37:35 I hunted down the cover art, that's the May 1965 edition of Man's Illustrated. Oh, and your pinup was Sofia Loren.

I was really hoping to hear that bell ring. Such a cool mine and everything left to see.

Great adventures , I now set my alarm for saturday morning to check yt notifications, .Lokks like your EBAY items are doing well. I'm OUTBID everytime I check ,

Pin-ups! Ooh-La-La!

I went back to watch episode 80 again before this one and I enjoyed them both. So glad you were able to explore past the place where you and Mr. M stopped. Have you told him that you put this one up on your website so he could have a look too?

The picture of the wall of handguns - they were referred to as 'Saturday Night Specials'. Typically .22 or .25 caliber and sold by mail order for as little as $9.99 but more typically in the $20- $25 range. No identification required. No recording of serial numbers, pretty much untraceable.

Bot the first ones down there with all the Gatorade bottles laying around, even very recent production ones. Still a rad mine

I kinda wish you put the whole adventure on the same day. I realize it takes time to edit. Also you want quality content every week and like a good show you want to keep your audience waiting for next week so we all return. (I watch vice grip garage and he has a popular channel. His video was 2 and a half hours last night.) If you do have a bit longer video sometimes, you would not get a complaint from me. I really like this mine. That magazine at the end 😂, people were trash back in the 60's too.

Ok, riddle me this Batman.... how did the miners know, with all the hundreds of feet of shafts and ladders, that after all that shaft/blasting there was actually any ore down there? Can't just be "hey, let's blast a shaft and see if there's anything down there; nothing after a hundred feet?, well keep blasting Ted!"

“Gly”: At this mine the vein of ore went completely up and out of the mountain to the surface. They tunneled into the vein from outside and then once they intersected with it, followed it straight down. They then drifted outwards at multiple levels to remove the ore.

And it didn't disappoint. Great explore both . Giving up my age , I was 2 months old when that paper was printed 😂 . No champers yet Laura, Gly you're losing points man lol. Stay safe as always ;-) xx

Mr m is probably regretting not going down this one now after seeing how amazing it truly is

23:41 Mining their way in and run across a seam of poor rock, and suddenly *boom* there's schist all over the place.

Glad you got to get deeper into the mine. Yeah I think one of my friends went back and grabbed it in between mine and your visits. There's a big 900 ft shaft sw of the access point of this section of the mine. Did you get to see it? It's covered by a tin roof.

The view is much nicer when shes in front.

Holy shit that is alot of lumber!

Foot walls are so interesting to me as to how they remain as a formidibal barrier of where melted, hot stone mixtures moved through and were held back by their strength of stone type.....granite? That first adet to the left looked pretty "Jengha" and impossible to getting thru or around it. I'm still looking at the smooth walls. What is the mattrix makeup, Gly? I smirked at the comment by Gly, "I love the smell of mines" then cut off by a cough..ha. and snoufling at 18:18. (particles in the air?) I think that was a late 1968 to 1970's newspaper as the picture of the Tv was a larger screen, plus it said something about "color"....this at 21:37. At 23:34, where the rock peels as we see, that can be some dangerous surroundings as you explained of a past mine that you were at. I remember that episode. The wall slabs were like knife blades & long, just ready to let go. This is an interesting mine. Thanks for pointing out the artifacts. The newspaper pages & that magazine were really historical.

The GSR box probably at one time , held ABS plumbing fittings . That is what they were known for . I have used and sold thousands of boxes of them and got to go to there plant in the LA area many times . Probably late 60 to early 70

This mine is pristine compared to most.

I remember Fed Mart in So Cal.

Are those bones creaking or the ladder? 😆

1966 for me .

😂 when you were talking about your earlier videos I have a question what happened to your pet snake

Sure are a lot of smooth ribs in that mine

Well the AN you found is pretty much inert judging by the age of the packaging. Had it been stored well sealed it would have been a little different. As it was it only has a shelf life of 6 months.

Well, good to see that some journalism still hasn't changed much. 🙄 Lol. Still amazes me just how much stuff gets left behind. A lot of it I get. The ore cars may be all clapped out and too big a pain in the butt to haul up and out for what they mey be worth at that point. Especially if they've been down there and used over the course of half a century. But so much stuff that is still quite useful and not particularly big that gets left. I can see where the hoist may have been too big to faff around with hauling out, but it is still a pretty expensive bit of kit. You'd figure that would have been torn down and hauled out piece by piece, if necessary. But I guess you can't really know what the circumstances were when the mine finally shut down for good. Maybe the backing company/group when belly up, or the ore prices just plummeted so quickly and suddenly it wasn't even worth paying the crew to haul that stuff off. Cheaper and easier to let it lie down there. Eh, whatever. It makes for a good show when you all go down there to document what remains, so I won't complain. Lol. Anywho, great show. As always. Thanks to both of you for going down there and bringing back some really interesting footage.
