Abandoned & Forgotten Places
Documenting abandoned mines like never before!
Let's take abandoned mine exploring to the next level!
With your support you can help make this the best abandoned mine exploring channel on RU-vid!
Shot entirely in 4K! ...so, turn up those video settings!
On this channel we go deep... REALLY DEEP into abandoned mines and tunnels all throughout the western United States. We researched some of the harder to find mines and hiked or 4x4 back into them to explore and reveal their hidden secrets. Many of these remote locations are filled with cool artifacts, antiques and unique geology that will have you guessing as to why the old prospectors worked so hard to find gold, silver, and other minerals.
A&FP moves just a bit slower as compared to other mine exploring channels. Gly discusses why the miners chose these sites and he points out the geology and minerals that got them excited. Veins of quartz filled with gold and silver made many men lose sleep in the 1800’s and early 1900’s and modern prospecting still does to this very day.
DANGERS? Oh yes, there’s allot of dangers associated with old mines. Un-exploded dynamite, blasting caps, bad air, bats, spiders, and snakes all find their home in abandoned mine shafts and tunnels. Oh, and let’s not forget rotting timbers, flooded passages and collapsing rock!
Gly takes abandoned mine exploring seriously with all the proper safety equipment, training, and experience necessary to do this activity as safe as possible but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun along the way. “Gly”, your host and his band of crazy characters “Old Bob” (Gly’s Jeep), “Quackers” (Gly’s duck) and “Bobbie” (Gly’s hula girl) are sure to brighten your day with their comments and silly antics. Heck, they may even give you a chuckle or two.
Just like Saturday morning cartoons before the internet was invented, Abandoned and Forgotten Places uploads each Saturday at 7:00AM PST. (that’s 10:00AM for you eastern folks) so don’t forget to click that subscribe button and bell icon to receive notifications of new episodes!
Please LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT! All these things help grow our channel and your financial support helps us find new locations and helps put fuel into “Old Bobs” tank. Old Bob, thanks you!
Ok, now for the ugly stuff...

Reminds me of a travesty of vandalism I saw as a teen. While out hunting in the mountains of Washington State, we stopped by a mine that had been closed down for only a few years at that point. The doors had been kicked in on the building, ore samples busted up and scattered around inside, furniture and stuff broken. I often think back and ponder those ore samples. The mine is back in use, sorta, a one man operation as I hear it. Deer Trail Mine, just outside the ghost town (completely wiped) of Turk, WA.

@davidwhiteman5451 13 дней назад

Loving Wednesday's mornings as much as Saturday mornings. Thank you, Gly and Laura.

@rhodesia1980 13 дней назад

I lost my mine due to BLM and all the ATV riders in the area BLM said that they were more worried about one of them falling into one of my shafts, or I could put in a Bat cage of the two shafts but I could not afford that my 22 acre claim straddled Esmeralda county and Nye county So I had no choice but to let it go and BLM filled both shafts with foam. for safety issues, my mine was located out off of Radar Road past the radar station on the mountain. It's interesting I have seen more garbage in mine shafts out there than anywhere else maybe it because it's close to Tonopah. Mostly washing machines, dryers and I have seen a couch and a lot of paint cans from someone must of had a painting job in the past just dumped into these shafts, the only thing worth on the claim is try to work the tailings to see what the miners might have missed. If I would have kept the mine the two bat cages would have cost me $15,000 each one in Esmeralda county and Nye county and I would have to give the second key to BLM in Tonopah office so they can have access so much for adding a head frame. Two bad you can't get out to the Tonopah test range there are a lot of abandoned mines out there from what I have seen on the maps but then again have to wonder how many fighter jets use the mine shafts openings for a target entry point. The lady at the assessors office said that there is a lot of quartz containing gold that was mined in the past out there before the Military took over that area during WW II

@JDJ1898JADE 13 дней назад

Thanks for the great Wednesday video. They did all that work to get those samples and never did any thing with them. That makes me wonder why.

@subvertedworld 13 дней назад

That second one is the craziest mine I've ever seen! I'm blown away by all the "samples", they just don't even make sense! I'll be sitting here racking my brains trying to figure it out for a long time. That's so much work and serves no purpose at all. It's like they turned the whole mine into samples.

@Born2Rune 12 дней назад

You should buy this mine. They've done all the sampling for you. Great video as usual. I like these old school explores.

@jackdaniels8898 13 дней назад

All those ore samples reminded me of my son when he was in high school. He would do all the homework but wouldn’t turn it in. Makes you wonder what the story is behind all the samples. And what brought the operation to what looks to be a sudden end.

@anneott 16 дней назад

What a fun trip, and so interesting from both geologic and mining history viewpoints - it won't be long with the rising global need for copper, that mines like this might become invaluable to the claim owners! Laura did a great job with the camera - thanks for being part of the Gly team, Laura!

@user-pf6sn8rd2l 13 дней назад

Gly, you are a very knowledgeable and engaging teacher. But you tend to forget that most of us aren't sure just what's going on with the rock formations. Could you try giving some pointers about what the rock is doing, what the miners were thinking, why they stopped/ turned? You do some of this, but you have a large group of us ignorant folk who would like to hear more! And Laura can let you know if you ramble too much! Y'all are a great team; thanks for letting us tag along!

@kathylammers8360 13 дней назад

@user-qf1it8jc9y 13 дней назад

Wow, talk about a storage problem. Hard to imagine all those samples were from just that mine. Uniquely great find that shows us some interesting things from mining! Thanks you two for another cool adventure!

@f.k.burnham8491 13 дней назад

@Ozymandiuus 12 дней назад

The "Tide XK" box to the left in your closing commentary, is another bit of dating proof that the samples in the last mice were from the 60's. ChatGPT had this to say about Tide XK: "Tide XK" was sold during the 1960s. This particular version of Tide was one of the numerous formulations that Procter & Gamble introduced as part of their Tide detergent line. The "XK" variant was marketed as a heavy-duty laundry detergent designed to tackle tough stains and dirt, aligning with the brand's reputation for effective cleaning performance. The 1960s saw many such innovations in household products as manufacturers sought to meet the growing demands of consumers for more efficient and powerful cleaning solutions."

@Cwra1smith 13 дней назад

Looks like that was sample storage from all over the mountain. Should grab a couple of bags and plop them on E-Bay.

Cool mine, unique, loving Laura doing Gly's work, added bonus for this mine. For a tungsten mine, it went some distance in.

@jacklisiecki2389 13 дней назад

Thank you Gly and Laura!!

@oculusangelicus8978 13 дней назад

That tungsten mine was really quite boring until you got into the right drift where it became real craggy and unkempt. but the sparkling going on in that mine was something else! But the Copper mine with the Bajillions of samples, is REALLY interesting. Mainly because Copper is a strategic mineral and is stockpiled by most governments, and if the years 1966 to 1970 are correct, then these guys were seriously sampling a coper mine during the Vietnam war which basically started for America on March 8, 1965, and lasted until April 30,1975. So, for ten years America was heavily using its Copper reserves, so I have a sneaking suspicion that this mine was of particular interest to the Government while that war as still raging. That war lasted for two whole decades and America was a part of it for half of that time! The Vietnam war began for France in 1955 but they pulled out of it long before it ended. The mineral deposits in this copper mine look like they would have been fairly good, looking at the deposits on the upper portion of the main adit. Who knows what you might have found if you had gone down into that winze, with the dual-purpose ladder. But you never know, they might have taken in some of the best samples to have them assayed and then went back to do more sampling just as a make work project to keep themselves from being drafted into the 'Nam war. Stranger things have definitely happened. Thanks for the explore! both of these mines were definitely really cool. Definitely looking forward to Saturday, take care you two and stay safe!

@Earlywinters09 13 дней назад

Laura's doing great 👍

@tinadelwiche416 13 дней назад

The second mine was very interesting and surprising 😊

@johnnygreene5447 13 дней назад

Thank you both for taking us along!

@peoplez129 13 дней назад

My guess is whoever was in charge of samples was a bit too meticulous, maybe to charge more money. Or they had a previous mine that turned out to be virtually nothing and developed an attitude of sampling more out of frustration with the last failed endeavor. Overall I'm betting the excessive sampling was at least largely done because they didn't quite know where to go from certain areas, and were hoping they could get a clue of some greater deposits that might normally be missed that could be close to where they were.

@PaulHarvey-js2gt 13 дней назад

Gly and Laura amazing two mines thank you so much for sharing that. Could you explain again the reason for all the samples why they were stored and what was the purpose of all those samples so many of them? Thanks Paul

@JTube571 13 дней назад

10:00 was just typing up a comment to say the same thing. Noticing A LOT of sparkles on the walls. Edit: And so much green/blue on the walls of the sample mine.

@joybaker4559 13 дней назад

Maybe those posts had signs on Them that said Beware Tommy Knocker’s inside.❤😂

@stephenmiller5023 13 дней назад

That last part of today’s video is mind boggling 😳. The amount of work & time to mine all that raw material , sort it out & bag it up to just be left behind is surely one of the strangest things I’ve EVER SEEN as Well . Kinda makes you really wonder ….WHY??!! 🤔🤨. Would really be curious as to “ What’s in the bag ,Goose??” As that really old potato chip commercial used to ask …. Gly should remember that one , but maybe not Laura ( she’s younger I’m guessing ) . Anyway really cool mines , both of them (& get some damn ropes & go deeper ) 😏😉

@user-if6mk4rh1j 13 дней назад

@youruptownlowdown7745 13 дней назад

Money in the Bank! Was the tale of that mine! 👍

@preppingforprophecy7680 5 дней назад

Could the 'samples' be actual mining ore left behind from some small time mining operation? Maybe they were labeling everything as samples to avoid needing to meet mining standards?

@scottherzog5746 13 дней назад

So at 45 minutes and 48 seconds a few light orbs made themselves known in front of the camera. I think I count about 5 or 6 of them.

@FalkorsTale 13 дней назад

This was a fun one. What the heck is the purpose of all those samples? Seems like a lot of work to just stuff in barrels and leave.

@rebeccagary2978 13 дней назад

Great show today. Why would they leave all those samples unprocessed?

@johnbrownlee7623 13 дней назад

Gly, so why dident they send out the Samples..?..The Sample mine......Enjoyed your work and the Video...Thanks........

@robertlyman9789 13 дней назад

When you picked up the gas can, there was a block of wood with some cloth wrapped around it?

@marvinjameson2104 13 дней назад

It looked like a seamstress tape measure wrapped on that block of wood.

@rawbsworld6604 13 дней назад

How you know it’s a seamstress ? Perhaps it’s a seamstress ie a guys tape measure? Is there a difference how can you tell em apart 🤔

@svdreamketcher 10 дней назад

The samples could be high grade that they were going to hall out.

@lotharschiese8559 13 дней назад

10:51 This far in it looks to me this was all hand dug.

@colleenvarlow8764 13 дней назад

Hey thanks for the info about tungsten. The copper mine and the ore samples, wondered why you would do that? send them in bit by bit?

@9f6i 13 дней назад

Could this be a "warehouse" for samples from multiple mines? Perhaps the MN numbers indicate a specific mine in the area.

@kevinfranck6520 13 дней назад

Some of those white sample bags stacked on the shelves looked like someone's Cocain stash. 😳

@rawbsworld6604 13 дней назад

@nielsen145 13 дней назад

great find both of you on the 2nd mine :D, been 20 years since have seen anything comes close and this one takes the cake for it, back then i was following websites on ababoned mines explores. my interrests in this, comes from passion on ghost towns, on the first mine, my guess it was from ww1 era of things and have been through 2 war acts

@donbob449 13 дней назад

So did you look at the samples, were they copper? Was this mine storage for the surrounding mines? 🤔

@kncochran1 13 дней назад

Great video. Why would they collect all those samples and just leave them there?

@wendellb36 12 дней назад

I use tungsten to buck rivets on aircraft

@billmumford8636 13 дней назад

How do those samples get taken and then pulverized into dust? Please explain the process!

@waynekoepke8128 13 дней назад

did you look in any of the bags to see what was in them and did the samples come out of that mine

@mikenienburg5737 13 дней назад

I know it's a tungsten mine but I can't help but wonder if there's any gold values in all that stock works around the mineralized areas

@loucatozzi7656 13 дней назад

I've never understood why they go to all the trouble to collect samples all thru the mine and then leave the samples in the mine. Were they able to test the samples on site somehow?

@Porty1119 12 дней назад

The operator might have run out of money. I'm a partner in a mine services company that offers assay services from time to time; several years ago our primary client went broke. We eventually ended up taking over the mine they operated - sure enough there were several hundred pounds of bagged samples left behind. Typically we either drove up and collected the samples, or the miners brought them down to the lab. At the end, that company didn't have enough money to pay us or the miners!

@user-ti1vs2qf3l 8 дней назад

OK, that second mine was officially weird. There seems to be no logical reason for there to be that many samples. They built storage racks for them for gosh sakes. With that many samples, and with them being stored in a way that made it hard to even move around in that mine, could the samples actually be from a different mine or mines, and this one was just being used to store them? Otherwise, I can’t understand why anyone would ever store samples like that in a mine they were working. I do think there was more to that mine though. There was the shaft under the first rack of samples nearer the entrance, and there was that shaft at the end of the left-hand adit. The straps on the ladder looked like they had gotten a good level of use, so there could be a lot more mine down below.

@tommygunz8692 13 дней назад

👁️👀…….The Gly I used to know would have went down that shoot…. are you getting weak on us buddy? Just kidding with you. Keep up the good videos you and Laura make a good team
