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...

It is just amazing to think this was all solid rock! There was no hole in the earth. Men dug every bit of this out by hand. Isn't it just great what men can do working together.

@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces 4 года назад

“Gly”: Aaron, I really like your comment because you hit the nail right on the head. Many view these places as if they were caves and that couldn’t be further from the truth. Every inch of every part of these mines had to be removed by hand and that’s something many fail to recognize. They truly are feats of strength and determination.

@xofcenter5576 4 года назад

@brandonpayne1207 4 года назад

I'm really glad the only souvenirs you take are earth sample and not old mining tools. It's nice for the next person to explore that mine to find too. Awesome videos. I do like the pov/first person view over a 3rd person view for the main exploring through mines, that way we can see what is coming up next. I also like how you explain the geology and equipment. You will never learn this at school.

@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces 4 года назад

“Gly”: Thanks! Yes, you will never see me take or sell artifacts from mines. I’m happy your enjoying the show!

@adrianbew9641 4 года назад

In my mining days, the wax paper was more about keeping the nitro glycerine in more than water out. After a while it began to weep thats when it began to get a bit iffy, as well as give you one hell of a headache that no pain killer would cure . It did have a relatively short shelf life as well.

@Big_John_C 4 года назад

No barking spider smell-a-vision lol. I did the explore everything we probably shouldn't when I was a kid too, we found a massive salt mine under the east side of our city that went for miles and miles in multiple directions, great memories!

I'm loving these deep mine explorations you're doing. I do gold prospecting & the deepest hole I've ever dug is almost 3 feet. I've never mined & can't wrap my head around how much work these old time miners did digging out these mines. It's just astonishing.

@jeffyholla1095 3 года назад

I love your videos! Especially that I don’t have to do it myself! I’ve always wanted to get down in my grandfather’s mine but never had the balls to do it. It’s a vertical shaft up in Red Mountain. Gold and Silver.

I told you about the dynamite found by a trainee my son-in-law was with. There were 40 sticks of dynamite 65 years old. My son-in-law is a demolition expert for the U.S. Forest Service. He was put in charge of detonating the old dynamite. You can find the story. Just search for dynamite found in mine near Salmon, Idaho.

I haven't been able to stop watching your videos since jonlevi mentioned you in his recent video! I didn't see anyone else mention this so maybe it's just me, but it seemed like your pace was different, a little to fast, I like your mellowness and I just felt very anxious watching this one. I felt like you also we're being a little more reckless with your old friend around. I cringed hearing all the rocks clanking hoping it wouldn't cause a collapse!

@mickie7873 4 года назад

You said, "you like it" (this mine). Apparently the mine operator did also, looking at how far in and zig zagging they followed that vein; and the stulled areas, whew! Lots of effort and time. Wonder what their "take" was. You two in your 40's are complaining about crouching and your backs. Canada Frank is pushing sixty and is hauling himself up & down on ropes in mine declines! None the less, another great "exploreing mystery".( Drank alot of Old Milw. in the 70's. It was the cheaper beer, but still gave a calming effect after 5 cans......ha,ha.) To have your boyhood friend to come and see you and what you do, a great "reunion" to say the least!

@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces 4 года назад

“Gly”: Thank you very much! Those pockets were chipped into by modern weekend prospectors from the 70’s. They are looking for ore that assays greater than 1/2 oz per ton or greater. The ore would need to be at least that rich for one to go through the trouble of hauling the ore out of the mine.
