Yes,, she’s like a breath of fresh air😊

Good fun with the drone again Gly , sad to see frank decide to retire from mine exploration yesterday, he’s done a lot to make mine exploration popular and will be missed , keep up the good work

Your drone footage is awesome. You have a real talent for this.

Excellent to watch. I liked the rattler. Good to see an overview of the area as well. Thanks Gly.

Well you finally got to see and put on film a rattlesnake. Yikes, he was a big one. Now stay away from bushes....huh? Neat terrain with many backroads. There was stockyard fencing by that windmill. Some rancher, yrs. back was running cattle in the area. Such great SW scenery! Cactus everywhere! You sure saved yourself some walking thru the "picker brush" by using your drone. Also, with snakes on the back of your mind, that took the cautiousness & worry off you also. This was different today & enjoyable. Thanks for taking us along on your "re-con".

Yup gly, I have a placer claim in Arizona and the only way to access it is by driving a side by side thru the dry wash. There was a jeep trail at one time to get to the claim back in the 20’s-30’s but has since been blocked off by a residential home in the 80’s. We can’t stop people from accessing the property whether they’re just driving thru (which you can’t go any further past 3/4 of a mile from our last corner marker and then you’ll have to turn around) , hiking, hunting or even camping on the claim. But once they start looking for minerals, we can have them arrested and charged for taking mineral's without written claim owners permission as long as we have proof of their activities. Other than that, it’s public property.

Pops I just wanted to tell watch your back on that partnership ok

We need to provide you with a settling torch. What I do not understand, all of these minds are on BLM property which stands for bureau of land management, which also stands for public lands. That means that all of that land and what is on that land belongs to the people of the United States we pay taxes on that land and we have the right to explore that land. More and more people cannot take responsibility for their own actions, and everybody knows and it is posted on almost every single abandoned mine. Do not enter extremely dangerous, but people that enter and get hurt sue the federal government it is just ridiculous. But if you choose to enter your mind, you do it at your own risk, and they need to stop closing off these minds and plugging them up. Because one day American people are going to have to re-enter a majority of these minds to remind precious resources that are available., Bad times are coming people just need to wake up and see it.

Drone filming is fantastic mate.👍

The shots of the rattler from your drone were magnificent! Another great episode(as usual) can’t wait for next week!

Fairly sizable snake - a KZread first - snake via drone. Great drone footage. Thanks, Gly.

Nice rattle snake, I've encountered many over the last 50 years, many at 29 Palms Marine Base. Heard many stories of Marines getting bit, a buddy of mine cut the head off one, I tried to get him to just leave it alone but no he just had to kill it just to say he did, he did dress it out and cooked it, he and a few others ate it. Great videos Gly, love the Drone shots. Very interesting place there, yes I bet you two are going to incounter water, the windmill and water tanks tells me water is not to far away. Gly see you next week and God bless.👍❤️🇺🇸

Thanks for the cool recon video. That rattle snake was big enough to be a fryer. If you had a hankerin' for fried rattle snake.

That rattler looks like he had eaten recently - he was pretty plump in the middle. I used to be absolutely terrified of those critters but have learned a lot about them watching the KZread channel 'Rattlesnake Solutions'. A guy in the Tucson area retrieves them out of people's yards and relocates them further out in the desert. Love the drone!

Agree! Fear is usually caused by lack of knowledge. Really appreciated your channel, Gly. My ancestors were minors and quarrymen in Colorado and I love the history. ❤ Your channel has taught me a lot about mines and I really enjoy that! Keep up the great exploring!

Hi! I like your adventures a lot. You are a real professional in what you are doing.

We all love a great pair of comfortable pants! Where I live plenty of rattlesnakes. We even have the Mojave Green. So glad you're back 💚💚💚

Hi nice seeing you today. GOD bless you.

Good looking Rattler made my mouth water to think how delicious it would be fried and dipped in sauce. Great scouting expedition and I really liked te rock work on the outside of that building.

Fun snake fact: they don't have ears! Snakes 'hear' through vibrations traveling from the ground into their jaw bones. That's why it was far less responsive to the drone than you or your vehicle. Air vibrations don't register much with snakes, especially the higher pitched stuff (a deep bass drum, like the kind that you can feel vibrating your chest, is probably audible to snakes.)

...👍🏾🙏👍🏾✨✨✨ Awesome Thumbs 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Up Out To You Bob ...I will be with you next Saturday... See you there ...as I enjoyed this one...Bye Bye...✨✨✨👍🏾🙏👍🏾...

Reminds me of when we went to visit our son in San Antonio. Exiting the hotel, we heard rattlesnakes all around us, they were all just past the edge of the mowed lawn.

Wow Gly nice to see happy days back to normal , Great recon and supper drone footage . Cant wait to see you both getting back adventuring future mines . Australia id watching , keep safe and enjoy life

You're definitely making me want to watch the treasure of the sierra madre again...

Awesome video Gly! Hi Old Bob and Mr Bucket 👋 See you next weekend

Where is your stick with the tennis ball? I would say it is definitely needed.

Yes Gly you need one of those drones that have the little gas engine on it the battery only runs your directions and camera, the one i had seen with this set up had a lidar unit on it, by the way Frank from Canada said he is retired from mine exploring. Be safe my friend.

Down around your ankles? TMI !!!! Especially if your asking Laura if she remembered that 🤷‍♂️😳

Oh, and Thank you for what you do. I love it!

Guess a guy has to get up pretty early in the morning to be first around here...😂

Gly it is good to see you and Bob out exploring. Awesome recon video, also the rattlesnake / nope rope. Not to fond of them. But just let them be . Can’t wait to see what the barred adit has to offer . Be safe out there . See you next weekend . 👍🏻

Good to see you are out there and work!

Been thru this before at least I’m not concerned about getting under ground , explore / recon just as satisfying/ interesting getting under ground just the icing on top! 👍🤣 good vid I enjoyed it 🤷‍♂️ ✌️🤙

I'm not sure if I missed it, but what ever happened with Mr M?

Wow that was a harsh response Gly. Geez

Looking forward to you and Laura getting into that incline shaft adit and drifts etc.🚢🇬🇧🚂⛏

The cotton woods in the bottoms of those washes tell you the water is pretty shallow likely within 50 feet probably a lot less of the river bottoms. Looks like a date palm at the end of the road of the 1st site, so could be a dump site? the snake was more agitated than I've seen most must be the drone most don't react unless perturbed, but they can strike even if not coiled so don't get too close. The 1st mine site will get colder than the 2nd site as saguaros have a similar frost tolerance to citrus but they are also more tolerant on east facing slopes where the frost period can be mitigated. Not sure if the wind mill was for the mine looks like a ranching operation at least now the stock pen was new. there may be more sealed shafts there has been a kick to close off potential mine drainage into the drainage's that feed Phoenix or the Colorado, at least where evidence of active roosting can be found. Its possible the shaft is loose filled and can be dug out fairly easily if no blasting is required it could preserve whats left if the collar was lost. What was a big mine was San Manuel not sure whats left after the shut down after removing 700 million tons of ore. the underground had 5 - 3000 ft deep shafts...

@Porty1119

9 ай бұрын

There's not much left at San Manuel. BHP pulled a borderline criminally boneheaded maneuver by tearing down the infrastructure there with years of ore remaining.

I love seeing rattlesnakes out in the field.

Hi, great to see you back. If the water table there is not far down, then the mine is probably flooded even if you could get in. Cheers Daniel.

Gly, You could have had rattlesnake supper. It's said to taste just like a cold-blooded, rodent eating, legless belly crawling scale covered chicken 😂😂

THANKS, GLY

I think the best place to see a rattle snake from is my chair in my house 5,000 miles away :)

" get the drone up in the air" 🤔but the drone was already up in the air 🤷🏼‍♂ is Gly sipping on 🌵Juice❓

I think the shaft in your drone footage is right in front of old Bob. When you were on top of the big tailing pile.

I love recon videos!

Good morning Gly,,, that s pretty nerve wracking even from this distance. Rattlesnakes can strike high up waste pants high,. That’s why cowboys and ranchers wear chaps ., waste high. A very magnificent view and video anyway. Good safety strategy when on a claim.

Hahahaha your powers of observation are phenomenal how did you ever deduce that was back in the day when they liked to use pvc pipe and an old can? I know I know 🤷‍♂️ sometimes I can’t help myself 😳😝😂 ✌️🤙

Gly, the concrete pad at 11:51 wouldn't be a cap on the old shaft would it?
