History only matters if someone is around to appreciate it. So long as you're not breaking any laws, take them, display them and make sure you catalogue them. That way you can pass them off to someone else down the line.

@johnolsen7073 Год назад

Great video Jason! The idea of leaving the mine as is has its merits. If you are the only person knowing its location. Regrettably if an other person finds it, the chances are quite great the artifacts will be removed. You are very fortunate to have found this mine. Thanks for sharing it with us.

@chuckster6513 Год назад

Hey Jason, Great , exciting video ! I have in my 74 years found old stuff such as the equipment you found. Just touching it seems to open my mind to the time the stuff was in use. One of the other commenters suggested you might check into the history of the mine and possible claim it as your own. What you do with it is open to so many possibilites. What an adventure that might be ! Thanx for allowing us to join you on this bit of your life adventures. Oh I hope we get to see Dan's reaction to you finding the mine. Work Safe, Be Well Enjoy Life

@sharonkasper5126 9 месяцев назад

Take the artifacts and cherish them in your young life. The stories you can spin off them are priceless. Items like those you found add up and as you get old, your apprentice will carry on the tales of your historical finds and pass them down to his inheritors. Thank you Jason for sharing with us your experiences.

@brucegallagher6430 Год назад

While that lock on the door of the "cedar door mine" is calling you, you already know what to do. You are a great person Jason and you always do the right thing but, preserving history so it doesn't rust away unknown is a very admirable as long as it is done with respect. You could document as much as possible then remove the items to prevent further oxidation and damage. Tell a true tale of how these old time miners worked there and all of the problems they had to indure. Can't wait to see what is inside the samples. Great videos as always. I must have told a dozen people about your channel this past week. Telling everyone how excited I was about your cliffhanger. Great way to start the weekend.

@jasonwcoleman250 Год назад

I think the best option to preserve the Cedar Door Mine would be to research the mine and post a placard with the info, re-discovery date, and a request to leave the mine as it was discovered. A sign in sheet could be cool too.

@michaelhedden6019 Год назад

I think it shows more respect to save it from rusting away by taking it out. Great video though.

@jacobwilson6296 Год назад

Memorialize everything you can. Makes life worth it for those gone.

@westcoast8562 Год назад

very nice mix of mine exploring , prospecting and geology...i think you did well to combine a number of interesting topics into one video making the vid multi interesting compared to the one dimensionally skewed mine explorations going on out there . nice work yours smarts are shining through

@NET-POSITIVE Год назад

Definitely copper cloride! Gold gets devolved by chlorine, and I guarantee there is a nice amount of gold lock in the copper chloride. 100 yrs ago, they didn't have the processing we do, and I imagine that they had a hard time getting all the gold from the ore. I think you need to do chemical testing to better understand the geology. Nice score!!

Hello Jason, great video! Regarding the artifacts in the old mine, I would take them and put them on display. You are the kind of person that would display them in a way that would be respectful to the miners who used them. I am looking forward to your next video.

@Strange-Viking 11 месяцев назад

So many channels about mining out there, and yours is the first that really shows all the rocks, and not just saying whats in it but you are also explaining what to look out for, how it looks like, whats indicators and how to follow a trail. Amazing, not that I probably will ever go out and prospect but since I am very interested in looking at everything in nature which obivously includes rocks too? I subbed. Great videos!

After watching part 1 a few days ago I was super pumped to see this video pop up in my feed. These type videos are some of my favorite you've ever done!

@metatechnologist Год назад

It's a rare video that I watch through until the end but this is one of them. Well done. I think he is passing up the real worth i.e. the gemstones in order to find a few flakes of gold. All very interesting prospecting trip.

@DavidAnderson-vt8iq Год назад

Loving the rock saw. The details in the rocks are amazing. Thanks as ever for the video.

@dionh70 Год назад

I live in SoCal, and I'm a rockhound. I own several large-ish chunks of mariposite that I purchased at various gem & mineral shows, but my samples aren't nearly as richly hued in the green as your chunks are, while my experience with most chromium-containing minerals shows that richer green coloring. That said, we all know that there's plenty of variation within a specific mineral class, so your stuff can easily be mariposite as well.

@catherinesigurdson4189 Год назад

Nothing wrong with taking home a conversation peice and educational. Thank you

@mcwolfbeast Год назад

Being a chemist and familiar with chemical salt colors, the green just screams Nickel to me. I may be wrong as some copper compounds can also get like that but that pale tealish green is typical for Nickel salts.

@ericprater4017 Год назад

Great job Jason! I love old abandoned mines! Great find!

@chadtheman9509 Год назад

100% take the lock, beautiful piece of history that nobody will see if you leave it. And by bringing it with you it’s an amazing story that you will get to share and by doing that it’s history will never die… take it! Display it! Talk about, don’t let it be forgotten!!

@carlcaruso33 Год назад

Beautiful country, I envy what you do brotha. As for the artifacts left behind, I think you should take them if you desire them. I'm sure the people that left them there won't mind because you're not only a miner etc, you're an educator and ambassador to prospecting that we love. Thanks for the great vids. Peace🙏🕉️

@garyammerman2153 Год назад

It was an old prospect! Good find Jason! I would do a couple of things if I were you. If you get back to that spot again, I would take and preserve the lock before someone else pulls it off only to toss it later. I would also send a pic of that beautiful green round rock off to Dan Hurd (who loves to make cabs) and see what he thinks about marketability of that stone. He seems to have a real good feel for such. Good luck!

@lotharschiese8559 Год назад

Just mail him some samples, so he can do a video, Eh!

@donovanelder Год назад

You found Kryptonite! Lol Great video, enjoyed watching your adventure.

@lonnywilcox445 Год назад

The items at the mine will eventually rust away to nothing if left and no one will get to see them and be inspired by their unknown history. I think the history of the mine is less about abandonment of an unprofitable mine and more about someone who walked away with the intention to come back and for some reason was unable to. Why do I think that? Because all of those items cost money and were still useful. If someone knew they weren't coming back, say because they found a richer spot to work, they would have taken those items with them to use at the new site. And that goes right down to the wood in the door and the nails holding it together. 100 years ago it wasn't a disposable society like we have today. If something was still usable it would have been used. Someone wasn't going to leave a perfectly good lock and even the hasp on a mine that had no values to protect. It would have been taken with if they were moving on to greener pastures. Admittedly the wood from the door didn't have the same value as the wood in a desert area because there are tons of trees to get more wood right outside the door, but the lock and tools would have taken some effort to replace beyond just dropping another tree and whittling away some boards. You should take the tools and lock and make them into a display that can teach people about what mining was before haul trucks. I am curious about what you saw around the mine. You can't dig a 60-80 foot deep hole without having a tailings pile that should be quite significant and still visible on the landscape. Unless of course you are hauling it all away for processing which raises a whole other possibility of what was it being processed for. If it isn't there then it had to have values of some sort.

@iFreemind10 Год назад

Awesome to see what you found. Cedar Door Mine is a perfect name for it. I know it's a small sampling but would love to see it crushed and see if there's any gold in it. That greenish gray rock is beautiful though. I see why people make jewelry out of it.

I love Mariposite. There are many examples in roadcuts here in Mariposa county. I recall seeing some large rocks at the base of a cliff along a road. I have always wanted to return and gather some rocks to put in my garden. I don't know much about the gold bearing aspects.

I have been enjoying a number of your videos recently, audio seems to suffer some times but the video looks great, keep up the great work

@cliffynelson5017 Год назад

Hey Buddy, Great video as always... You need to take the lock and whatever else you can... I say this for a number of reasons... Eventually someone else will come along and do it. AND....if anyone deserves to preserve, protect, and show off items like these more than anyone else, it is YOU!!! Furthermore...You showed it to all of us and can continue showing it for years to come, with this video and all your stories that go along with it. And out of respect towards the old timers who started and worked this mine years ago, what greater showing of respect can we give to them than to continue to show items like these they left behind for years to come... Maybe you could start a little museum and show a flash of this at the beginning of your videos... But all this shows great respect towards these old timers who just busted their asses for what little they got. We are all so blessed these days.... A great example of what I am talking about is what cool dude Brent has done with all his finds from Cerro Gordo. The world will always be able enjoy these items from all his videos and those that make it up there to see them in person in the museum he has created for years to come...

@JW-rk9vg Год назад

Hi Jason! I work as an archaeologist in Washington State. What you have found would likely be considered a historic archaeological site, and how to process it would depend in part on what kind of land it is on (i.e public lands has different regulations than say private). I don't know how this would apply to say mineral rights or land claims, but the state historic preservation office would have more guidance if you are interested in reaching out.

@damianstasek8946 Год назад

What so they can shut it down and block access for all time? The government ruins everything.

@graydonjones6912 Год назад

Government involvement is not the best option sorry but government destroys and hides history

@davidcarella64 Год назад

Hmm,,,, Understandable possible historical significance... Very Fortunate, Jason's attitude confirms preservation etc. However, as a prospector, I would be quiet about ANY Information, until I completely evaluated Mineral extraction possibilities or Not. Even after that - Probably wouldn't.

@frasercrone3838 11 месяцев назад

Following creeks here in Australia while fishing I have often come across patches of habitation that would have been several days walking to what would have been the nearest town. They are usually on a bit of flat land next to the creek and will have non native vegetation on them like a fruit tree or bulb type flowers or some roofing tin. If you poke around you may find where they threw their rubbish and you can find tin cans, glass jars and bottles cutlery and plates. We generally leave them be but if I find a nice piece I will take it to the nearest town historical society to add to their collection. I once traveled through some of the 40er gold area in California and stopped in several old mining towns and I felt like I was right back home in the old mining town I live in. The buildings look the same and the interior fitting look the same. The Victorian gold rush was after California so a lot of 49ers came here.

I strive to do what you do everyday, Jason! Getting back to a simpler time. I like the idea of leaving all materials from the mine as you found them. Too many places get destroyed and it’s a testament to the miners that built that addit.

@nunyabisnass1141 Год назад

If I had the money I'd go around doing what Jason and Dan do, and buy up properties like this just to make sure no one else destroys them. Maybe I'd work the sites too a little bit the main goal would be to prevent it from being developed.

Jason.. really enjoyed this episode. At 15:40, you break open a plue/green stone. That looks an awful lot like Mariposite or some 'metamorphasized' Dolomite and Quartz combo, a mixture of Muscovite mica with that green perhaps indicating the presence of chromium (perhaps?). Just yakking outloud. Really enjoyed this episode.

Always take the samples with you. Also, you could take the pickaxe head with you. That's a nice mine location; people wouldn't suspect a mine located under a waterfall.
