Time is hard on ghost towns and abandoned mines, meaning that this part of our history is disappearing quickly. As such, we try to document them before they are gone forever. Of course, we also love just being outdoors in high mountain peaks or open deserts, following in the footsteps of old-time prospectors and miners by tracking down ghost towns or abandoned mines that no one has been to for ages. It is exciting to plunge into the darkness underground with one’s friends to explore an abandoned mine, not knowing what treasures or dangers will be encountered inside.
I hope you’ll join us on these adventures...

Sliced malted milk cake. Malt ice cream shops and cakes were a huge thing back in the "roaring 20's".
not seen a vid from you for a bit so hope alls well with you and yours...
That was a butt can nail on to the bean
Sliced milk = milk loaf?
were all of you have your face covered because of the flying dust?
To me, that just sounded like an echo from the water that was falling in that area
smokey quartz maybe I need to hold it test hardness and crystal structure
Hey justin..missing the videos !!! Hope all is well
What’s a grizzly?
☝️☝️☝️👍
That malted milk sliced ? That is called here in England UK "Malt Loaf". That's why it has sliced on the rapper
high country of florida? LOL!!!
Miners were mentally challenged…..crazy. Insanely hard and dangerous work underground ! And you guys ?
There's probably gold in there
Why?
Beautiful colors
Location?
you should revisit this and see how much is left now!
In the 80's I had a gold location North of Coldfoot Alaska. I met a gentleman named Joe Taylor. He claimed to hold a gold location called 16 to 1. Do you know of such a gentleman who may have been involved with this mine? Any information would help. I gave them permission to sample my gold location. He had a partner but I do not remember his name.
That ladder looms far more modern than 1880s
Sounds could be from underground bases or tunnels.
Cool!
Where are all of the tools?
I want to see the Buildings!
Didn't the soviets dump all the mutated humans from Chernobyl and other soviet experimental stations in old mines.
Amazing
Caltopo no longer shows where mines are 😞
You hiked up to the shovel for the exercise? Cuz there's a road right next to it. Probably just for Jeeps. :)
This was an awesome explore! It seemed like you guys just kept getting deeper and deeper! If you had maps, you probably have a suspicion of how far down you guys were able to go?
Where is Mr TVR Exploring? Is he on holiday? Did I miss a post telling me this? Mr T from Scotland
Patsy malted milk sliced is actually cake that is sliced
Look. I am a mere mine video connoisseur, and I humbly hope not to upset you when I say, your delivery is spot on but your camera's FOV is terrible. It feels like looking around a cave through a telescope
Yea the wooden oar cart is definetly a cool artifact to stumble on to. It makes a guy wonder just how much longer it will last. The moisture is definitely taking it toll on the wood, someone should take a gallon or two of some used motor oil or something and give it a soaking of oil to try and preserve the wood. If it has been there since1890 that would make it 130+ years old... I wonder what it will look like in another century 100 years from now. If the wood isn't preserved it will most likely be all rotted away to nothing, with only the carcass of an old rusty frame oar cart from yesteryear. Cool video tho. It makes a guy wonder how the old timers got all that heavy equipment up that mountain back before they had any heavy equipment. I reckon good old donkey power ehh? And a bunch of double tuff sons of bitches. It makes me wonder... how did them old timers even know there was copper in that mountain?, in such a remote, untraveled, and untamed wilderness. Judging by the pictures of your hike in there, it looks like pretty thick brush them old timers had to negotiate. I reckon they must of found some sort of green stones like malachite down below in the stream beds and followed it up to the source. But in the 1890's that would of been the beginning of electrification into homes that prior to then used gas lamps. Thomas Edison's new invention was around 1880, so a decade later all of a sudden there was a huge demand for copper. Cool video 👍👍⚡️
Where do you get the yellow ventilation bag from ?
Thank you I very much enjoy your adventures 😊
I'm so sorry that I don't have more to give. Following your travels helped me through a period of intense pain and sorrow. And though this may not help much, I just wanted to say thank you.
It took a long time to get through it all. But it was definitely worth every moment. Thanks for enduring this one to the very end. Great explore.
Cool video, Well done!
Im curious if this is the Walker Mine near Portola, Ca In Plumas County? My husband is a miner and getting ready to do some work/reinforcement at the Walker Mine with his Mine Construction team starting next week...
No, this is in Nevada.
From what it looks like to me is that someone was hiding from the war in the mine an figured out what they were mining. 😊😊😊
Keep looking youl find another mine there it has a ore cart out side lots of goodies in side
37:50 Isn't this "Rock Moose" ?
Hey broski, thank you on behalf of myself and everybody else that gets the total feeling of being there with your videos. You guys are doing a great job and you're sharing a piece of history with all of us and you are so greatly appreciated!
That is a corned beef can.
Crazy!!
The wenches are actually called a slusher. The cables are hooked up to a scrapper bucket. They are used to move the ore
The blower is cast 1900 hundreds 1850 the makers there would be heaps of gold around that area I spotted gold straight away .
nice job Editing the footage to show a random mill then the real mine at a different location. Its good because you can line up the mountain range from the portal and also see the valley beneath it. Have you hiked to the top of the ridge by the open stopes? The compressor in the thumbnail was flipped upside down in the editing process. And drms has already come in and got the whole mountain there's just a way through. glad you did a video on it. Should come exploring with us to some stuff in CO that would make you faint.
The 90s guys could have helicoptered in that compressor in one or multiple pieces.
ngl this tour guide kinda sounds like pay streak super freak
