Untouched Wooden Headframes in the Desert 

you're in our backyard now sonny Jim ..... Kokoweef is right around the corner so you might see us out there digging ....that was a Tin mine ...never explore the shaft ...great looking headframe .... they actually used a skip bucket and the locks you see are for the trunnions.... really impressed you made it to the top ....the drill pattern at the sup is call a fan or wedge cut ...so as to remove the waster rock first ...over by the collapsed building is a much deeper shaft where they were getting their ore ....good explore .... be safe out there and keep'em coming

“Gly”: Very nice! I was in that area a few weeks ago and I knew it was gated so I didn’t drive over there. Thanks for the tour, it was nice to see it up close. 👍

I've yet to see a bad video from you. I'm enjoying them all. Thanks for letting me tag along. Be safe.

Awesome day , glad the wind wasn't trying to blow you off the top !

🦘 Another great history lesson. Cheers. 🦘

I think the little containers are ash urns. My sister wore one around her neck and it contained some ashes of my late brother-in-law. That might coincide with the bigger container, possibly an urn.

You are way more daring then me! I would be terrified climbing to the top of that old rotten head frame. Very interesting place though

I respect the fact that you leave things be and not take them. Some people think it's ok to remove things from a site.

Beautiful structure, now in the middle of nowhere, good explore.

Thank you for your attention to detail. Noticing the little things. Amazing. You are the best mine explorer for that very reason.

Nice deposit at the door sight Thanks for taking us along

Man i love this desert terrain

It's amazing how long stuff lasts in the desert! I'm from the Midwest and have never been to the West but channels like yours have my interest peaked and I will definitely be visiting sometime. I know you probably hear this too much but I hope you have plenty of survival equipment brother because being in the places you have alone is a big ball sport!

Beautiful timber work , Still up after all these years

The first one may have ben back filled by your version of the mines department hello from Australia. Those artifacts where strange indeed best left alone as you did.

Really enjoyed your headframe explore. You take the time and that's kept me in anticipation of your next videos. Thanks! 👍🏻 I've watched so many, I can't remember when I started 😸

Hi Jerith, two very cool headframes, that was a very intriguing find at the bottom of that 1st headframe though, I wonder what it could be. I hope you had an amazing Christmas and I hope you have a fantastic 2023, thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

I cant believe i didnt see this video yet. This is so cool what you do. I would love to explore with you some time. Ive been to a few mines here in AZ

That is a well known and often visited tin and tungsten mine. A 1952 mining publication says the main shaft is 740 feet deep. I have Chinese artifacts that were found in caves/old mines in the New York Mtns south of this mine. I was told these were from 1880's railroad construction workers.

Awesome video!

I don’t think I have ever seen a head frame in that great condition.

Looks like that out where I live!! Thanks

Glad to see the channel is growing. you do a very good job of describing the subjects you video. Keep them coming.

Long time subscriber ! I really enjoy your videos I'm also a history buff I live in Arizona and love to study old west history especially Tombstone AZ . Keep on making great videos look forward to the next one .

That headframe was really cool

Great little explore Jerith! Great looking headframe! And what an unique find of the Chinese tin and charms! Hope the Jeep is serving you well!

Awesome structure! Great video. Thanks! 👍👍👍👊😎

Wow! That’s awesome place to do adventure 👍👍👍 greetings from your new friend 👍👍👍

Nice Find. Don't see one in this good a shape (Vandals) very often.

That object you found, reminds me of a cremation urn. Possibly someone's last resting place.

Pretty good video..... well worth the watch.

There used to be a nice headframe like that out at one of the mines in Tacopa before it was burned down.

Mojave Desert it must be beautiful 👍

Thankyou for sharing.

There is an old head frame like that in Jerome Arizona. There are so many abandoned mines in the hills around the Prescott area also. I would be more than willing to take you to those old mine shafts. I don't know how safe they are to enter.

We do have some old mines near where I live in Devon U.K. There is still a little mining. They find gold, copper, silver & uranium.

Happy New Year Kiddo !

Not bad? Nice little mine!

Happy new year to you.😊

Cool!

Great video. Hope u had a Christmas

Long time subscriber Love your videos

The metal bowl and other items look to be Chinese-type stuff. The Chinese were prevalent during the mining periods up to and past the second world war. That's what some of the stuff looks like to me, anyway.

You really should get a partner. Very dangerous being out there alone, especially if you’re gonna climb on 70 year old head frames. Cool video though.

Another awesome piece of history documented! Do you repel? Just curious because I may have a spot you might be interested in.....

Thanks nice video

So I’m a little confused about the machinery of a head frame. After the flywheel would it be attached directly to the winch would there be something else after the wheel in before the winch?

Cool

I'm by no means knowledgable but I think those small containers might be Jewish prayer containers called Mezuzahs for holding passages from the Torah. The other object is missing the handle on top. But I'm just guessing. The bigger mystery is what the heck they're doing there!

Freemason paraphernalia?

Looks straight out of red dead lol. I know the irony in my statement lolol

🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷💯💯💯👍👍👍

Casserite

What ever you do don't open those, there down there for a reason and if you took them with throw them down somewhere far.

i coude sea the bat bard

👏👏👍👍👊👊🏆🏆🙏🙏

Lol, I'll BET they're untouched if you know what I mean...

Another awesome video young man..

Looks like someone threw Aladdin’s lamp in there, don’t be rubbing the lamp never know what might come out! 😬🫣😉

Thanks for sharing. regards from Australia.🐨
