Hey guys, Julie and I are out exploring today so I will check your comments at a later time. Thanks in advance for watching!

they used the screened boxes for food ..... put wet burlap on the sides and it keeps the food cool.... that spring mechanism was for a bell for the signals .... isn't that a chuckwalla lizard ....good explore ....keep'em coming you two

Thank you for another great video! God bless!

you guys always find the good mines. that's why I watch all your show's.

What a nice way to start the Friday weekend

It's always such a nice wind-down to the end of the week to watch the latest episode with Julie & Tom and all the amazing places they explore. I can't even remember how long ago it was when I first learned about their channel from Frank, but I'm sure glad I did! I can honestly say I've watched all their episodes and always look forward to the next one. Good people, right here. - Ed on the Ridge

Interesting exploration :) thanks for taking us along :)

Thank you Tom and Julie. Great explore. Big mine. Cigarette tin was a nice find. Hope your both doing well and be safe. The lizard was cool. I’ll buy yas a beer. 🍻🍻

Nice one! When I go in most mines, I usually turn right at all intersections. That way, I won't get lost. :-)

Wow what a mine!!!!Good you wore your gloves Tom. Julie great supervision of Tom on that ladder! LOL Thanks you 2 for sharing the adventure.❤🧡🖤

Great Explore you two. Very BRAVE!

Really loved this one - thank you for sharing!

Fun mine explore. Great video! 👍👊😎

Hello Julie and Tom. When you said you were is the middle of nowhere in Nevada I know from experience there is a lot of 'nowhere" in Nevada. When I was 16 we had to drive from Aspen CO to Los Angeles, going through Vegas on the way. I can tell you western Utah and Eastern Nevada there is a whole lot of nothing. The definition of "Miles and Miles of Miles and Miles". Just imagine my mom, 6'4 stepdad and me driving in a 74 Datsun truck that distance. No AC too. It was tight that's for sure. Anyway, great video. Take care you two.

Looks like you drove into the "Valley of the Giant Gophers". Gigantic gopher mounds everywhere. Drifts seem like they went on forever and ended with sketchy structure or collapse. That place was stripped of any mine equipment and even the trash was removed. Interesting to see 4 square timber at the end of the drift when the video was almost done. Most of the shoring and timber was pretty much standard throughout the rest of the mine. Glad to see you didn't go crawling around in the collapsed areas. Fun Episode of the Tom & Julie Show! Enjoyed it, Rik

This is such beautiful country. No people for hundreds of square miles - bliss!

Look at thatK! Jeff Williams! He is good people and this is his alley! Great explore! Stay safe!

Liked "that was a long stretch of nothing going on" !

Nice long mine, not many artifacts but I really enjoyed it. I really look forward to seeing y'all every week. You really do make my day complete. Until next time be safe and God bless.

another amazing mine adventure ! thanks you two

I would call that the never ending mine as it keeps going & going for miles ;) fantastic explore indeed and enjoyed every second of the video 🙏🙏

That was one long mine. Love the natural timbers. Great adventure, thanks Tom and Julie.....

The screened in cage was for parakeets to check to see if there was gas in the tunnel.

That's A Beautiful Mine they really did nice work in there clean woodwork

Hi Tom & Julie, this was a nice big mine to explore, you got to stretch your legs with this one. Not much in the way of artefacts though but that old cigarette case was a very cool find. I agree with you Tom in that it was probably early 1900's, my guess is the 1920's - 1930's. Thank you for sharing, much love to you both. xx ❤

looooong mine, and nifty natural timbers

Cool cigarette case. I've never seen a curved one like that, though I've seen photos of antique ones but they were fancy made of silver with ornate flowers and stuff on them. It reminded of the curved cigarette rollers I have seen in the past, though it doesn't have a slot for the cigarette to come out. I have been given a number of cigarette rollers over the years since I have rolled my own now for about 60 years, but I have always hand rolled mine so have never hung onto the rollers I was given. --- Nowhere Nevada reminded me that 30 years ago on my radio show I would claim to be broadcasting from "20 Miles From Nowhere". I was living off grid 20 miles from town then 8 miles down a 4x4 road, at the top of a 1,000 foot cliff at the top of a butte. To make it an even funner place to live, that 1,000 foot cliff was riddled with abandoned gold mines to explore. --- The past 20-some years I've lived down in the valley that I was looking down on from there, 15 second walk from the biggest river in California. With all the modern amenities like grid electricity and running water, but still 15 miles from town. I miss living 20 Miles From Nowhere.

A big mine for sure! Nice and stable for the most part. I'm no geologist by any means but it appears there may have been a bit of everything in this mine. Square nails and strap rail says she's an early mine. Cool how the ties were notched! Beautiful views outside as well. Very nice explore Tom and Julie! Thanks so much!

Very cool adventure. We always called those lizards one of two things a western fence lizard or a blue belly.

These miners sure had done a lot of digging like all the mines you both explore

Another good one! Cool little cigarette tin. That’s pretty deep, almost a mile. 👍

that main tunnel is huge wow/ narrow but so tall! imagining the cars rolling down the tracks ... those ladders and workings around 20 min in are wild. too bad no cars but the tracks are still pretty neat. great exploration as usual thanks for taking us with you

Yee-Haa!! Man is that place big or what? Judging by the size of that waste rock pile, i probably should have figured that out. You'd think as big as it is that there'd be something mentioned somewhere about what they mined there. Maybe it was a top secret government waste of our money. :-) Great explore so far.......

Hello, Tom & Julie. Fantastic video in this wonderfully long cave. Really enjoyed seeing the different types of rail systems. The reptile at the end of the video was a Lizard. We have a similar Lizard here in Texas, but a darker coloring because of the different type of terrain. A Horned Toad and/or Lizard has a flat & wider body, a blunt & stubby head with spiked-points (also, on body), and a short tail. Color-tones are mostly brownish variations; but have seen a reddish tone and also a blackish tone on their body. Looking forward to the next adventure! Keep Safe & Healthy!!

Just found ya'll and glad I did 👍👍

Thanks! I enoyed the video. I didnt see the lizard though. Oh, should have been patient there it is ;-)

I love to see natural timbers and those adits were really long! That was definitely a cigarette case. I use to have one back in the day. Is Julie a tall gal? I’m thinking the heights of those adits are around 6 feet and Miss Julie must be around 5’8”. Anyway, I enjoyed this one. As always, thanks, T&J!

Bir zamanlar çok zor şartlar altında çalışmış insanlar ama yinede ekmeğini taştan çıkarmışlar helalolsun bravo bu görseli çekenlerden teşekür ederim çok aydınlatıcı videolar çekiyorsunuz dilinizi anlamasam yalnız sizin için endişelenmediyimi söylersem yalan olur tünelden çıkıp doğa görüntüsü verdiğiniz zaman derin bir nefes alıyorum Allaha emanet olunuz inşallah herhangi bir kaza atlatmasiniz

So glad to watch these videos relaxing on my bed! What a mine with your friendly bats and can’t believe how long it took to search out this place How long we’re you in there? Yes you were in a most desolate area of Nevada. What mine is your most favorite of all your travels? Your videos are to me the best along with Jeff Williams,though I do miss Slim! Continue to be safe in your travels! Be blessed!

the screen box was to keep there food in and the bugs off. hot times they would cover it with wet burlap..

Hey guys, hope ya'll are doing great, there's no telling how far the ran, I wanted to say hi be safe out there enjoyed the video as always your biggest fan 🙃 take care

RE: 1:51 on this video, the screened box is likely a homemade bird cage where the miners would keep canaries to monitor the air quality back in the day. Did you find any evidence of birds in the cages you found such as feathers or perches? My Grandpa worked as an engineer for a Denver-based mining equipment manufacturer and used to talk to my Dad about going to local mines back in the day, where canaries were kept as an early warning of methane or other deadly gases. Some of the mines had light bulbs built before the days of planned obsolescence and had been left on 24 hours a day for over twenty years. The demand for minerals such as Copper, Zinc, Lead, Tungsten, and so on kept miners active over the years, with the rare earth elements that are sought after today.I always had a curiosity about the lives of miners, which may explain why I enjoy watching several KZfaq Channels, including yours, that document the exploration of ancient and abandoned mines. Mining then and now is a dangerous occupation for miners in spite of newer safety regulations in today’s mines. Keep up the great work Tom and Julie, and stay safe!

Yeah the screened in box might be a window box like you put on the north side of your cabin and you would line it with burlap sacks and wet it down and it keeps your food cold and they're like like a swamp cooler evaporative cooler does for your house used to use them back when you don't have electricity I used to use them

Unless the having canary's in the mines to detect gas is a wives tail, maybe the cages were for the birds??? Lots of tunnel in this one..

I wonder how long it took them to dig all that out? Definitely not a one-man job! Love to see the old timbering!

Seems like those bats have a long flight out at night!

The tin is an Old English Curve Cut Pipe Tobacco tin, Patented in 1899. Take that date and those old timbers, yuup, thats an old mine indeed

That’s a long mine!

I always think I’m in nowhere, then a shit load of SxS go cruising by 😂

In the beginning you mentioned the cages. Could they be for birds? I've read about or seen where they used to take Canarys or probably any bird into the mines to detect methane or probably any other dangerous gasses.

Another fantastic video, thanks guys! .......Was that another huge waste pile behind the Jeep?

Thank you folks for doing this I love to watch it but what about snakes and things like that

Perhaps the 8 foot high drift at the begining was for the tall white alien miners, they live at Area 54 , that is 3 lake beds over from Area 51. They had levitating ore cars so no need for track ! LOL Wow 4,000 feet that is a hike for sure.

If you're using USGS maps to find these mines they tell you what minerals are there.

Screened box may have been for jerky production

I think ask Jeff Williams is right but my first guess would have been that they would keep an animal in the screened cage. It would be like a bad air detector. A canary in a cage to paraphrase an old saying

Maybe a small chicken coop...fresh eggs

Screened box was to keep the canary and your sandwich cool inside the mine 😂

How did the miners clear those stope areas out ? by hand? buckets ?

The bat jumped.

Maybe it was a base metals mine. If silver or gold it would be well known.

Is there ever anything in there to take out like gold in the quartz or silver to put it back to use

Ringtail cats frequently live in mines. Probably plenty of pack rats to eat in big mines.

With the price of lumber being what it is, it might be a good idea to mine 2 x 4's.

Do you know what I saw a video the other day and the person had yellow for the words instead of white made it a lot easier to see especially when you have a white background a lot I thought of me doing a black background with a white letters but then it might block out too much picture

Maybe that cage thing was for a bird so they could check the air??

it says Cambell, they screwed up with writing a K first and corrected it with an C

Hello Tom Hello Julie A great Mine with a nice Geologie First very stable but at the end very instabile. Do you know somtthing about the history . Well i can start working in the Rammelberg Mine again next month I Was suspended from November 21 until now. I am not vaccinatet i can test my condition but they only want vaccinatet and cured guides. A Art of discrimination but now it turns to normal for a while and than they make a law that everybody over 18 years old had to be vaccinatet. But i dont do that. I have another question do you use Tube Tires or tubeless tires on your jeep. Take care have a good weekend stay happy and healthy Greetings from Germany Yours Frank Galetzka

THE SCREENED BOX WAS FOR BIRDS TO TAKE A SEE IF THE AIR IS OK., iF THE CANARY DIES, YOU ARE NEXT !!!!

Is Julia always so quiet on camera? lol I've watched probably 30 videos and she's always so quiet....almost seems like she's not having fun! But I'm sure that's not true...love your videos! Keep it up! Oh are you all family or just friends?

Didn’t they bring in birds or a bird. To check for fumes and what not?

a question for you both, if you don't mind me asking. Julie, what is she to you? Your daughter or daughter in-law? Prince Albert, you keep finding him in the can, well, tell him to get out already.
