What an incredible find, the miner’s cabin is a find of a lifetime! It’s so wonderful that it hasn’t been vandalized or burned up. Even the glass window panes were intact! Incredible!

I can't express how refreshing it is to see that the site hasn't been pillaged and vandalized. Such a wonderful piece of history. Thanks for sharing it.

Awesome to see young people visit locations like this, yet have the integrity to leave it as your found it. Kudos to your responsible adventuring!

It's so rare and enjoyable to see things left alone and not plundered away.

great explore there sonny Jim.....the tank by the Jaw crusher was filled with water for milling ...now that is one a cool miners cabin in the rock face ....and everything still there with a glass window too ...impressive sonny Jim....so with that we smashed that like button ....we SMASHED it hard

This place reminds me of the old mines my friends and I used to find out in the Mojave. We spent a lot of time out there when we were in our late teens and early 20's. We're in our mid-60's now, those of us who are still alive. It gladdens my old heart to see a place like this still exists, and that people seem to be taking care of it, rather than looting it. It's like a living museum. Please don't tell anyone where it's at. That way maybe, just maybe my grandchildren and your childrem will experience the same sense of wonder we felt when we first came across places such as this. Good work, kid! First class site, first class video. The time and effort you put into finding this place paid off.

By far the coolest miners cabin ever

Absolutely incredible, glad you are keeping it secret.

Looking at that jaw crusher I can tell you a few things. The two hubs with the broken spokes was probably another fly wheel. The more mass to the flywheels the harder the rock you can crush. The bearings on either side of the jaw are probably sleeve bearings and the pockets above them were most likely for constant drip lubrication. The mine I used to work at had it's big brother. A 48 inch throat set for 4 inch minus and a 400 hp wound rotor motor. The main flywheel was 9 foot diameter and weighed about 8 tons.

When I was a kid I would have lived in these mines ! Now as an adult it’s giving me anxiety just watching you in there. Lol.

As a local who has visited this site with frequency (proposed to my wife about half a mile up the trail from that site), I really appreciate you have not shared with this is. It's now on google maps so visitation has increased considerably, but it is still standing pretty much the same has been for decades. Thank you for your discretion with this video.

I want to live in something like this, fixed up, but I think underground and cave living would be really cool.

A very interesting watch, I love when you pick up old artefacts you return them back to their original location 👍🏼

Beautiful still photos of the miner cabin. ❤

Had a blast exploring this with you 🤙🏻 next time we will coordinate it better hahah

It always amazes me how they got all that heavy equipment up on the side of a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Awesome stuff.

That rock crusher looks so good I bet it's easily restorable. That air compressor looks like it is in great condition. I kinda want to move into that old cabin in the rocks.

So glad to see that cabin not wrecked and vandalized by idiots. Awesome place and bit of history.

That cabin is quite a find! The windows are still in tact, sort of the first thing that goes. That cabin could be considered historically significant, especially the large collection of finds.

Cool video. It’s nice to see an old miners cabin that hasn’t been looted and destroyed. I thought some were still out there somewhere but it is really nice to actually see it. Don’t tell anyone where it is because someone would ruin it. You guys are doing what I did in the 80s and 90s Exploring every thing possible. Keep doing what you love. There will come a day when you get too old for this stuff and you will have all of the memories and photos I still get out and explore but I can’t go as far as I used to. Good memories and good friends are never forgotten 👍😎🐾

That cabin site, needs to be protected. How you go about protecting the site from pilfering and vandalism though, is almost impossible. Glad you got to document it, and for us to share in the experience. Thankyou.

I can’t believe that people haven’t stolen everything out of that old cabin. Neat to see. I love finding old relics

Man that existence living in the miners quarters was something I seriously can’t believe. Glad i got to see awesome

Well, that certainly taught me a lot regarding alternative architecture during the hippie era. I loved the beautiful natural wooden roof supports inside the dwelling, actually, loved the whole explore ! Got a bit nervous when you went in the old tunnels, l am not that brave enough to in as deep as you did! The hippies thought they were the original simple living and earthy type builders! Boy were we wrong! I am a 71year old woman from Australia, who lived the alternate lifestyle. Your still shots were amazing to see too. Please take care.🦘😧😁🥴🤔🤗

Some old prospector made himself a snug little home, and it's still standing. Thanks for sharing

That window being not cracked shows little or no settling on that wall amazing

Damn, even ALL the glass panes are still intact in that window. Mind blowing! Nice video and stills. Don't leak that place to no one!

What a great find! Awesome video! It's nice that people didn't trash it over the years.

what a wonderful time capsule ... 😮 I'm glad people respected this beautiful place 🙏

I agree, second trip called for.... nice explore, thanks

That cabin was so cool to see.

Imagining them mining by hand like this, back in the early 1900's, it's so cool but damn it would have been hard work! Thanks for the super interesting video.

Really awesome to see the window of the cabin unbroken. Looks like the miners didn't have any luck in that area. I can't believe how much effort it takes just to try and find something valuable in the rock

I never seen anything like that cabin built in between rocks before Really cool looking Love how people survived back in a day Fireman 🔥🔥🔥

Great explore Jerith! Even if the mines peter out, there is always something to find and investigate. Loved the old cabin! Reminded me of what we use to find in Southern Nevada back in the 80's. Their simplicity is amazing and their craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

Nice exploration and landscape on a beautiful day. I'm from the northern states and it's just great to see a sunny comfortable December day somewhere it's not 15 below zero and 3 feet of snow.

So many things I loved about this video. The info, history, narration, landscape, finds, just a beautiful place and a great video!

It's great to see an old historical site like that that hasn't been vandalized or pillaged my respect for you young gentleman that just go there and take photographs and don't disturb things, It's great to see young men that appreciate history and do not tear things up Good job guys

Miss you brother, glad to see you back

Imagine getting that heavy equipment up there back in the day!

nice opal miner here hello from Australia I so wish we had that mining history here

That cabin is the coolest thing I've seen in a while!

I always thought places like this were long gone. Another great video.

That miners cabin is incredible!

The barrel boards are called barrel staves, and the milk glass jar was Mentholatum Rub. Another version of that jar was/is Vick's Vapo Rub, which you can still find on store shelves today. When I was a youngster, mentholatum was a topical ointment cure-all for a stuffy nose, congestion, coughs, achy joints, and minor sore muscles. Mom would rub it on your chest and in your nose, and it would help relieve the congestion in your lungs, throat, and nose. It made your eyes burn and smelled of really strong mints. Good job on the video, fellas...

That little home is one of the coolest things I have seen! Thanks for sharing.

good job thank you ALL stay safe

That cabin is fantastic! So great to see it still in such good shape and not vandalized.

Fabulous video ..loved your knowledge and description..awesome camera quality and beautiful still shots ... The hut was sooo cool!! Thanks for sharing ..from Australia

This was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Can't thank you enough for taking me along on your amazing adventure. Subbed!

The narration was excellent and made the video interesting as the narrator talked about what we were seeing, the significance and importance of the equipment, what it was used for and an estimate of its age. All good stuff. Thanks!

Nice too see the kids of the 1940’s-50’s didn’t trash it like they where known too do

Thanks for another great video and scenery.

Thanks for sharing this with us. The cabin certainly is a neat find.

Wow that's awesome! Thank you for sharing.

Love your channel and your explores , such clear footage 👍

Thanks for taking a moment to show us the mechanicals / machinery that was used. As a working class guy , I just love old tools and machines and enjoy looking at then to imagine how they may have worked and sounded for the people that depended on them in years back. Too many explorers just completely skip mechanical rooms and machinery when they do explorations and its such a shame to miss out on showing us that part of the work history. Thanks for taking some extra time - you did great and I appreciate the effort !! ( You earned a "like" and a "subscribe" as well ).

Beautiful artifacts thanks for showing us these pieces

Thanks for sharing this amazing piece of history. I pray one hundred years from now it will still be sitting there waiting for another explorer to find

That cabin is so cool! Absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing

Great artifacts and the rock cabin is awesome! Excellent video. 👍👍👍👊😎

I appreciate the attention to detail and respect for all the history left there, very nice.

Hi Jerith, some awesome finds, a shame the wheels etc were taken on that old ore cart though. Omg Trevor scared me so bad , I thought you were going to be in trouble there for a minute lol. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💞

Pretty awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing

This is so cool. I would love to restore that air compressor and some of those other finds. Super cool. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic! Loved this!

What an awesome explore! The miner's cabin is amazing and basically untouched.

I enjoyed this way more than I expected. Good stuff

Thanks for sharing! As it is, going back in time.🙂

absolutely awesome place. Loved the cabin.

Mentholatum is still my favorite go to product for dry, and congested nostrils. I hope it doesn't go the way of another old time favorite, Boraxo Powdered Hand Soap since 1894, which went out of production in 2022.

Very cool cabin, nice find and thanks for sharing

Great find. Thank you for posting

Thanks for sharing. Best wishes for safe discoveries. D

I just love how that cabin is created by adding a highlight of construction to natural site even the fireplace its so great.

Great video, thanks! Such a nice landscape and awesome to see old mines. Roof and windows look pretty new, wondering who’s looking after it…

All of your films document some great mines and I always think of the lives of the people whose work it was to dig tunnels into the rock and extract whichever minerals, metals and ores out, but this really brought it to the fore. I have been imagining who lived in that home. I suppose a lot depends on what was being mined and how big an operation it was. It's a touch of home comfort in an inhospitable environment. When your friend walked in saying Hello! I jumped out of my skin! I had visions of someone from The Hills Have Eyes and was very pleased that it was a nice looking young fellow that you knew. Heart attack averted, I enjoyed seeing all of the cabin's features. I like that you don't take souvenirs, and let these places stay as they were left, it's respectful. I also liked that very long tunnel, but wonder if there were any others of a similar size around there.

Incredible cabin built into that mountainside rock! So cool and I love how well it still stands to be honest. Windy side was torn up but other side amazing. Great relics galore inside too! Wood boxes looked like possible dynamite crates maybe? Glass jars way cool too, love finding that stuff. Awesome work!

thank-you for a great video.

very cool! thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing! I didn’t know that this is there, and I look forward to going up to see it

Wow what an amazing find, definitely one of the best mine explores I’ve seen, it’s also refreshing to here how educated for a younger man to know so much about the history of the mining industry! You just got yourself a new subscriber 😊 well done….

Beautiful!

Amazing, being a Londoner I only saw stuff like this in cowboy films,This is the best Thanks 🇬🇧🍀👍

Great day out there fam. the spot looking good indeed. Keep on having fun. Gold Squad Out!!!

LOVED this! My first WMD video and that house was just mind blowing. I could have hung out there forever. I'm also surprised at how interested I was in the entire site as it's not my usual. Thanks for doing this! Looking forward to bingeing your videos later. Liked subbed & all the rest...and off to Trevor's channel to watch his version (he's also new to me).

Very Cool! Thanks

Awesome man.Thanks.

Wow, what an awesome find!

That is So utterly cool !!!. I'm impressed not vandalised. People can behave and be good.

Thanks for posting and sharing.

Awesome little mining site. Cool to watch. Super stoked to hear someone on KZfaq using proper mining terminology like copper minerals instead of copper ore and waste rock instead of tailings.

Way cool. Thanks for sharing. John from New Zealand. :)

Just came across your channel 😊 I Love rocks and old stuff .

Not the type of video I would normally watch but I was fascinated! I would love to have seen what the cabin looked like when being lived in. I was surprised by the amount of containers inside. Seemed like it was lived in for a long time. Well done!

Great video and great find. Miners shack was super cool. Hope it lasts another 100 years.

Great find!

Great find,i really loved the stone shack you found, id love to camp there.✌️❤️from Australia.

All I can imagine is all the hard work it took.

This is so cool. I live in a state where we don't have these types of mines, but when I was younger, I remember going on vacation to Colorado and seeing mine remnants. I had a strong urge to explore them then but couldn't. Thanks, I look forward to watching more of your content. I actually jumped when Trevor said, "what do you think youre doin!" lol. I can't believe the artifacts and window in that cabin are intact, is it really remote or something? On the outside you can tell the window is leaded glass, so it's legit old.
