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...

I found a news paper article from Nov 30 1867 about a explosion at the Pacific Mills Powder Company. The paper was the Daily Alta California news paper. Volume 19 number 6468. Three men were killed and 1 was wounded. The explosion was felt 20 miles away.

Thanks for another incredible explore! As for the anchors/bolts, go for it, after all it is a human made mine. I know cave explorers commonly use anchors/bolts in a natural environment. I believe documenting the unexplored area far out weighs a few anchors or bolts.

Thanks for giving us an image of that tree trunk. As near as I could see it was at least 160 years old and possibly older. If it was cut for use in the mines in circa 1880 then it started growing somewhere around 1700 give or take a few years. The bottom of the black powder keg that you used chalk on to identify the mfg. also had some identifier of the grade of powder. Type "a" was for blasting and type "g" was for sporting use. They used the letter "F" to designate the burn rate. I think that can indicated it was "FF" grade. All sort of useless trivia, but thanks again for a great mine tour.

Deeper and deeper we go.. Down to the very depths of the phenomenal Thunder Ridge Mine! Too bad we had no way to get all the way down there..

@myfavoritemartian1 Год назад

Pacific Mills powder company, at San Rafael in Marin County, California. Exploded in Dec 1 1867 killing 4 men. It was never rebuilt. They were never a major supplier so the loss was not big. But, their exit from the industry allowed the three remaining suppliers to raise their prices even more. GLY- Every time I see something you won't climb down, I see Frank jumping down...LOL His camera work gives me motion sickness...Shame I can't watch his channel. **As for the concrete anchor problem....Over drill for depth and when you are finished remove the nut and washer, pound the anchor down into the hole, fill with cheap calking and rub the drill powder you saved from drilling the hole into the calking to hide it. We used to do that in the construction industry. (Your devoted follower in mines)

@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Год назад

“Gly”: Yep! I’ve hidden anchors like that back in the 90’s. It’s definitely a plan to consider. 👍

@lesleyrobbins1137 Год назад

If you can pack it in, you can pack it out. It's gone beyond a shame that people just don't care. It's a throwaway world, so it's now someone else's problem. Thanks for being a part of the solution. Absolutely incredible mine.

@TheShornak Год назад

Hello Gly, I'm with you about clean up after yourself in these historic places. Or anywhere for that matter. Pack it in, Pack it out. But in the case of the SS anchors, I would do it. Not only would it give you a way of documenting the spaces below in the great way you do these videos. But also it would give other mine explorers a way of getting down there too. I really don't think you are ruining these experience or the mine by doing that. That's my opinion at least. Imagine the artifacts you'll find being the first going down there?

@340MAGNUM8 Год назад

As for the SS Anchor. Do it because it's only a matter of time before someone gets in there and disturbs everything. With you getting in there now you get the best and freshest footage. Then its preserved forever for everyone to see. Besides you know it will bug you not getting in there and also you could spray paint the anchor, so it doesn't stand out too much.

@Tomcroese Год назад

Yes, that was a nice and big place, thank for the trip! See you!

@travlon5101 Год назад

I just can't get over the fact that the big "Ball Room" was solid rock at one time and it was all dug out by hand and by using black powder !!! I could tell the size of the room because I can hear your echo off the distant walls. I was sharing your excitement !! Keep the videos coming and I agree you should put your anchors in the rock and rope down into the depths, no ones been down there for 100 years. It will be well worth it.

@johnclare1728 Год назад

Gly-you keep bringing us the best footage of these old mine’s. Really enjoy our Saturday morning explore you bring us on. After reading through the other comments, I would agree that it is worth leaving the SS bolts to be able to document the remainder of this fantastic mine. Do us a favor if you desire io go there, have another climber with you. That will be much safer with 2. Take care and as always-stay safe. Love what you do and share.

Thank you Gly for another awsome episode from a cool mine. Really live all these videos about mines. This is history that i wanted to see more of in school when i was younger. Because this subject would make me stay in school more often for sure. This kind of historic content are so damn good. History are one thing i like soecially about gold silver and stuff like that. They were such badass who worked in the mines for 100 years ago and earlier. Because they didnt have all the fancy machines we have today. But today they blow the whole mines up instead and that i dont like. This was more sport to do it like the oldschool. That was a good hard work that made america great in the old days. Freaking love the old American history that shape the old western and how they build up towns and cities. I live in Sweden and my dream are to travel to United States of America someday i hope i can do that for sure with my wife and my kids. Stay safe take care to Gly and all the other people who read this. Freaking awsome content Gly have on this channel for sure. Have a great saturday and have a even greater Sunday 😊🙏💪🏻👍🏼🇸🇪🇺🇸

If you don't want to leave an anchor you can always bring a angle grinder with a zip cut and cut it off flush to the wall when you are done.

@euchre1o Год назад

My vote is to get down in there. This could be the holy grail of unexplored mines. Hard to pass up a chance for this one. But with that said, i would feel more comfortable if you went with a partner like Frank. He may even have a suggestion we havent thought of yet, and 2 or more people would make it much more safe.

Use your anchors. There's no telling when the Government may want to keep us safe from ourselves and close it off. You doing a complete documentary on it will be the only way 99.9 % of the people who are interested in mining history ever get to see this amazing place. Great work thank you.

@transmaster Год назад

Gly they make removable climbers' rock anchors. Many climbers have your same thoughts about disfiguring a rock face with anchors plus there is a safety issue of idiots using old anchors. You still have to drill a hole but the anchor can be loosened and pulled out of the hole and reused.

There is literally no telling where rock is carrying hairline cracks, or horizontal shearing behind what looks like a nice solid surface. Any crack you stick a cam into is a potential boulder waiting to pop out and personally thank the person who granted it freedom....

I mean, if it was already fully documented, then the mine doesn't need to be touched. Since it's not, and you're one of the best out there documenting these mines for posterity, respectfully I might add, who knows? This could be the last, best chance anyone might be able to get in there and show the history. If anyone were to do it, I would nominate you. You have respect for the history more than even some of your other popular RU-vid peers.

Nice video as always :) About the rotten staircase and ways to replace/go over it, what about buying one of those portable aluminum ladders and placing it over the gap by using the rocks on both ends as support? They are lightweight, easy to carry, surprisingly sturdy and quite long. The problem would be securing it I think, but I'm counting on you to find a solution for that 😜

@t-yoonit Год назад

With the amount of potential this mine still has, I legitimately believe that anchoring into this is justifiable. This is by far one of the best mines you've gotten into and to leave the last bit unexplored, especially considering that your goal is so easily reached....... It would be a disservice and you'd probably kick yourself for not going there. You've roped into spots that ended up being total busts. I think you owe it to yourself to see the last bit of this mine through. And if you're concerned about other explorers taking advantage of your equipment and leaving more messes deeper in the mine, don't show where your anchor points are. Or once you're out, drill around them and remove them. It's a little extra work, but in the long run, you'll maintain the history and still document everything.

I like the idea of anchoring in low where you can more easily hide the anchor such as to not encourage others who may be less respectful to use it, but I (and likely most) also place no pressure to attempt to rope a descent/ascent that may be too risky just for us viewers. I would 100% support a spotter/second party if you decide to attempt such an exploratory feat! Great cinematography as usual 👏

Hey Gly ! Couldn’t you wrap around & use a self tightening slip knot on the big Column just to the right side of that old stairs as an anchor point ? You’d need something to grab the rope once you drop it down one side - expanding pole ? Then your weight will only make it tighter around the column & it shouldn’t slip ! You could even attach a 2d rope to pull the line through on the bottom side, if you don’t need to climb back up !? Ie go out the tunnel on the bottom. Just a thought ! 😁

Pacific Mills | South Carolina Encyclopedia The new mills, collectively called Columbia Pacific Mills, consisted of Olympia, Granby, Richland, and Capital City Mills in Columbia. Mill villages containing 650 houses came with the purchase. In 1923 Pacific bought 750 acres of land eleven miles from Spartanburg to open Lyman Pacific Mills and another company town. Pacific Mills - SC Picture Project A farming community grew around the store, which formed the epicenter of the burgeoning town until Pacific Mills built the Lyman Printing and Finishing Mill on 700 acres purchased from the Groce family. The mill was named for Pacific Mills president, Arthur T. Lyman.

@RuggedRunnerOverland Год назад

That's "A" Pacific Mills but not "THE" Pacific Mills that produced the black powder. For one, the date is way off since these mines date from the 1860s and 1870s. There was a Pacific Mills Powder Company in Marin County, California that operated during the 1860s which is more than likely the manufacturer of the black powder that was in the tins considering the location of this mine. More about the Pacific Mills you were referring to which is completely unrelated to this mine: Richland Cotton Mill, also known as Pacific Mills, Lowenstein Mill, and Whaley's Mill, is a historic cotton mill building located at Columbia, South Carolina. It was built in 1894, and is a four-story, rectangular brick mill building. It features a seven-story stair tower, with a circular vent flanked by two arched vents. Attached to the building are an engine room, a boiler room with chimney, and a machine shop. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

There may be a day where access is gone forever and the ability to further explore is also lost forever. I understand wanting to preserve these historical sites 100% but adding a few anchor points in my humble opinion to fully document and explore is not littering. These places are regularly being collapsed and closed to keep uneducated individuals from severely hurting themselves and from entering. Your addition of proper anchor points to document an area 90% of us will never physically get to see is acceptable, again in my humble opinion. Your safety as you bring us top notch content is priority number one. I understand the reasoning for wishing to keep it original and unmolested, but if it's collapsed or barred in three years and nobody has access... a couple mounts from an adventurer such as yourself will not make a difference. I have total respect for your preservation of the glimpses into history you give us and will respect whatever decision you make!

Maybe you should invest in an telescoping ladder . Amazon has one 18.5 ft long 330lb capacity , compacts to 42inches and weighs 36lbs for 192 bucks best part is you take the ladder with ya protecting that part of the mine , stainless anchors would invite others to use em. just sayin.

“Gly”: That’s a pretty good idea! 🤔

I have no expectations. I don’t want you to risk life and limb for me. I do want you to feel comfortable and safe about every aspect of any exploration. You do what YOU feel comfortable with and I will be perfectly happy viewing what you want to share. Stay safe. Life is precious. Thanks Gly for your dedication and hard work to share the fascinating underworld with me.

Here in Germany it is actually pretty common to drive in anchors, build small bridges, build lining to secure dangerous areas, leaving ropes and ladders or even dig open collapsed areas while exploring abandoned mines for other explorers to use and to also enjoy.
