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...

Despite my claustrophobia and fear of heights i am glued to my phone watching these. I find old mines fascinating especially the pure amount of physical labor that went into hewing through solid rock. Thnx for risking your safety for our pleasure. Hopefully one of these days you’ll find Balin’s tomb or a Balrog or two lol

@problu9586 4 года назад

Even though I'm sitting comfortably in front of a monitor in my living room, some of that sketchy stuff gets me feeling uneasy, to say the least. Power to ya, Gly. Stay reasonably safe. Do appreciate virtually joining along on your sometimes butt clenching explorations, especially when you hear rocks falling into infinity.

@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces 4 года назад

“Gly”: Thanks! Yes, I’m really enjoying the new microphone on my rig. It does a much better job of picking up ambient noises like rocks falling and echoes and it really helps to create a three dimensional space audibly.

I am amazed that you are able to climb down that shaft with such a large set of balls.

@loyalkuhn5778 4 года назад

That is an amazing amount of mineralization - the sulphides alone would make it smell like a barking spider. The crumbly rock makes this easy to mine and also more prone to collapse. At 17:36, that's a nice vein with sulphides around it. Looks like fun sitting up on the headframe !! In the 2nd adit, yes, nice silver vein !! Very well defined hanging and foot wall. That's a huge ventilation pipe. Thanks for the adventure and the great video !!

Gly, another wonderful video. The decade that was the ‘90’s, I was involved with a trucking company based in Grand Junction, CO. We supplied mining equipment to operations like Amax/Climax-Henderson, Newmont, Somerset Coal, Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company, etc. The Rocky Mountain - The Sierras Mountains was our distribution area. I believe about the same time you were working with your brother in the Red Desert. The point being there were several manufactures, production line operations in Junction building the plastic yellow and sheet metal duct work, large air compressors, large volume high speed fans as well as all the business supplying the hand tools, blasting, welding, food etc. As I’ve mentioned I accessed many mines pre BLM placing there “WELCOME” signs. It is amazing to see, through your videos, the continued advancement of rock bolt failure, water damage, rodent nest, earthquake damage etc. Dunk

@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces 4 года назад

“Gly”: I was surprised myself by how many rock bolts and mats failed after only 30 years or so. There definitely not made to last forever.

@dannybell926 4 года назад

Can someone please help me understand what "gly" means? Thanks

@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces 4 года назад

“Gly”: Gly is my nickname. Gly was given to me by my Internet friends back in the early 2000’s when I once built super fast liquid cooled gaming computers. I used Ethylene Glycol for the liquid coolant and that’s where “Gly” (short for Glycol) came from. Here in the comments section I preface all my comments with “Gly” so you have no doubt the reply came from me. My show also has three more characters. “Old Bob” (my Jeep), “Quackers” (my grumpy duck) and Bobbie (my Hawaiian hula girl). When I’m solo exploring these three characters are my travel companions and sometimes I put them in pretty funny and compromising situations. So, if someone asks one of my three characters a question or makes fun of them you will get a reply from that character that’s completely separate from my own such as this: “Gly”: So how was that explanation guys? “Old Bob”: Really, you had to explain yourself again? “Quackers”: Oh for #&$@ sake, I thought everyone knew by now. “Bobbie”: 😔 Sigh, thank goodness for cut n’ paste. So that’s the story behind Gly Coolness but it’s rumored that “Gly” is short for Glycerin, as in Nitro Glycerin. Regardless, whichever ever story you want to believe, my real name is Ottovordemgentschenfelde. Or “Otto” for short 😉

@morelenmir 4 года назад

In Yorkshire--and perhaps other counties--the sections of a current mine that are remains of previous workings are called 'The Old Man'. This refers to the tunnels themselves and also the passed miners who dug them. It is a very evocative phrase, especially as in some cases 'The Old Man' could well have been Roman or even Celtish miners.

You would definitely benefit from learning rope work. That way you could access those hard to reach areas and be safer when going down some of those incline shafts you've shown us. Anyway awesome video and I look forward to more. Stay safe.

@Andreas_Mann 3 года назад

I swear not a video goes by without someone pointing out Gly's lack of rope skills :-D I wonder if it will ever stop

@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces 3 года назад

“Gly”: The funny part is... I’ve never had a lack of rope skills. I just chose not to do rope work until the channel had a larger subscriber base. Here in about four hours I’ll be roping into a open stope to access multiple levels of a incline shaft. So now when people see me roping into mines instead of “lack of rope skills” they’ll be saying... “your doing it wrong” or “oh my God... your rope is rubbing on the collar” or “don’t forget to tie a knot in the end” or “your holding the rope wrong”. Lol... it’ll never end. Mr M and I call them “armchair advice warriors”.

@ShellyAnn1a 4 года назад

I have been watching your videos for awhile now. Your opening sequence reminds me of being stationed in the Mojave Desert when I was in the Navy. Especially when that fighter jet flies buy. A friend and I were out hunting rattlesnakes, for venom research by UCLA, when we caught the attention of two Air Force F-4's. They made a couple of runs on us, then we took off and they chased all over the place, after about 30 minutes of trying to evade them we stopped. We got out, opened our ice chest and hoisted a couple of cold Buds to them as they flew over us. When they came back around they both did complete rolls as they screamed by in full burners. Just wish we had as good video equipment then as we do now. All I had was a Bell and Howell super 8 mm movie camera. Since then that film has deteriorated. Really enjoy your videos, stay safe in your explorations, stay safe and healthy.

We still use that vent bag, drill steal, and even all that pipe and clamps are the same, at least in northern Nevada. P.s. I know your knowledgeable but here are some things you may or may not know. the orange clamps you see on the pipe are called Vics which is short for victrualic. These specific rock bolts are called split sets, they use spring tension to hold the rock in place the short ones are called Jimmy's usually to pin your wire up.

GLY- The DATE of ANY BOX, or Bag, or CONTAINER can be determined, as long as it has an address. The 5-digit US Postal Zip Code came into effect right about 1962. The 9-digit zip is right about 2000. In the 1940's and 50's there was also a zip code system, but its a bit confusing. There is a 2 or 3 digit zip code USUALLY placed between the city and the state. These Zips were TYPICALLY used in metropolitan areas, but not all metro areas. At this same time, often the address contains no Zip at all. Please Google the exact dates for this system, but I'm pretty close. I'll ad this post to a few more of your videos so that you can find it, because I think this Zip information will add some solid facts about the artifacts and your location. Love your vids...great job! Please stay safe. Good luck!
