Discovering the Abandoned Eldorado Gold Mine 

Whew. That's a tight spot. Good stuff

Another great video! Nice looking mine, nice and dry! Those timbers were In great shape! Thanks again!

Nice tunnels..and Shfts..😎👍🍺 unbelievable so many exist and entrance tunnels. Beautiful place......😎👍🤝

Very exciting interesting video, thank you. Greetings from Germany

Those tattered newspapers are always some of my favourite finds

Great video! Thanks! Thanks 😊☺️

Always interesting love it thank you 😊

Great mine, great video.

Great! Wife and I did the tourist Teachatticup mine last fall. Subbed!

Nice one

Great video. Thanks for explaining some of the things that you found. Too many people just go in and have no idea what they are showing everyone. I just subscribed.

Lovely mine nice and dry

You could actually get LOST in a mine that extensive! Nice vid.

I love your videos! Hi from Brazil!

The belt on the wenz was the brake for the hand crank to slow it down or to hold it in place....

Great job! Thank you for showing us around. I look forward to the next video. Regards from Ody

Very cool video...I was soooo hoping you were gonna climb down that winze at 16:00~

If you have ever swung a pick you know you need a good swing to do any good. Imagine driving a drill for dynamite with a sledge in these tight quarters. Amazing amount of work

Grazie.

Scary mine dude. Here in the UK that would be sealed off with big yellow signs screaming “DANGER DANGER”😂😂

Great video, it would be good to see you climb or go down a ladder etc. With safety equipment of course. Bristol UK.

Great vid! Would love to go there if you don't mind shooting the location

Very cool ! I wonder what the lifespan of a miner was back then ?! Great vid .

What era is the spray paint from?

Tobey worked well!

Great Vid! Your stills are f'n fantastic man! Are you selling them?

Ever think about getting vertical gear? I’ve found most of the best stuff to see is down the shafts and winzes that the ordinary person can’t get to.

Just curious why you guys don't rappel or climbdown the shafts.

How many miners would be down there on any given day? This being a bigger mine would it have been 5-10 people or a lot more? Cool video!

Ha ha, that's funny seeing old Manuel Tobey's name there! He only worked with us in the mine for maybe 3 months in 1921, then he was fired. What a slacker that guy was! He was only 22, and I worked harder than him, although I was 47 in 1921! He used to complain about President Harding all the time too! 😂

Man I wish you went down the shafts or up in the stopes.. sweet videos

The wood on them shoots look pretty well new still

You guys going to try to go down the winze?

Any chance you can share the location? I am in Pershing Co NV and would love to find this one. I'm not a verticle explorer and have really only seen one good winze. I'd love to check out this place. Great videos I enjoy everytime I see a new one pop up!!

Good looking mine...wonder what the status is of it ....would love to get in there and sample.

Золотодобыча - это опасный место но в истории человечества имела важный роль

Ladder is backward, at the end

Go back and explore the lower levels.

All the people who inscribed their names within the mine are long dead. Their fingerprints are probably still present on the timbers. Think about it... people used to be here. A world different from the one we know today. Makes you stop and close your eyes in rememberance of the lives that once were.

Never see square-set timbering anymore.

If that shoot opens your stuck.

Right rule?

Why not a detector?

I wonder where the miners dumped their "deposits" deep down there, if you know what I mean

At 16:00 that seems more like a track for a car. The rungs are on the back rather than the front. The top edges of the ladder are very beveled as if to make it easier to tilt a car? I have noticed over many videos the rungs were notched to prevent racking I suppose. Very few ladders have just nails to hold the rungs. Keep up the good work.

40' winz? That looks more like 100'

Lots of gold left. Mine it and be a millionaire.

you do not sound old enough, to no what you know about mines,makes me think you have read a lot of books before you started searching mine. but good for you, not getting in trouble is a good thing. keep searching, and good luck, and be careful.

Are you wearing a giger counter

Pan the dirt ....

You and your video's are going to get somebody killed one of these days. I have seen several of these type of video's. In almost all of them all you do is show how "cool it is to explore this mine shaft" which some are over 100 years old. However, almost never do you explain in this video, to people watching one of your videos. How dangerous it can be to go into one of these old mines. You never explain to people what they could run into and what steps need to be taken to protect themselves from the 2 things which could kill you before you hit the ground. Worse yet if you are seen going down and a person tries to rescue you without the proper protection they will wind up dead also. These minds are subject to collecting high concentrations of H2S, Hydrogen Sulfide or dead air, which is a space void of breathable oxygen. This is what a person could run into at any point while roaming around within one of these old mines. Then to top it off you have the possibility large drop off's people fall from and cave in's which could leave you trapped, injured or dead from falling debris. I don't want you to think exploring an abandon mind can't be done safely, however it requires knowing and using air sampling equipment to test the air quality within the mines to keep yourself safe. Another thing which is never mentioned is it is not uncommon to find wildlife living towards the front of the cave. This could be snakes, cougars, bears and other wildlife which would use the cave for cover or to hibernate in.
