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 KZfaq!
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...

As a former coal miner of 22 1/2 years, I have seen my share of dangerous roof and ribs. There were several fatalities of various causes at a couple of the mines I worked at. It was when we were pulling (mining) pillars (room and pillar mining) after driving up a section of the mine that it became really dangerous. I was a continuous miner operator for most of that time although I also did a lot of roof bolting. I developed PTSD from all the years of escaping from falling ribs and top. I still occasionally have nightmares. You Sir are a brave individual.

Few if any until a little incident called WWII where they needed all the men to go fight and die in Europe and the Pacific, necessitating female manpower to keep industry afloat in the absence of the regular crew. Men on average work more life threatening jobs than women, this is a universal fact. They then also tend to have hobbies with complimentary threat levels. I've worked in healthcare for 5 years with the elderly, and the demographic is disproportionately female in all arenas: memory care, long term care, and assisted living. Even the staff is 90% female. I was often the only male on staff for my shifts. Learn to take a joke.

That was pretty dramatic, tiptoeing through a thoroughly rotten section of a mine. Your bravery, or fool-hardiness, is appreciated as most people watching always want to see what's at the end of that drift or down that winze but there is a time and place to call it too risky. To assure your rescue I assume you had the car keys? What prompted them to drive a vertical shaft where they did? There didn't appear to be any evidence of silver ore at the 100-foot station. An outcropping of barite on the surface? That is a lot of shaft to hope they finally hit a vein of something that paid. Thanks for sharing.

“Gly”: They found a vein of Barite that went down nearly 1000 feet into the hill and to remove it they had to get underneath the vein so that they could use gravity to remove the ore more efficiently.

Just yesterday the YT channel SciShow put out a video titled "How the Ocean Floor Got Filled with Riches", and it explains the hydrothermal processes that created the veins miners chase. I'd post the link, but for cybersecurity reasons I'll just mention the channel name and title. Well worth the view for fans of Gly, Mr. M, and Randy!

Found a very old collapsed actual coal mine on the side of the same mountain, orange water and all. Be Safe out there!

Land of the Lost was a favourite show when I was young. Its budget was low but the ideas were wonderful - some of the writers, eg Ben Bove, were famous sf writers. Will, Holly, Alice the allosaurus, Chaka the whatever he was, and those hissing lizard people. Fun stuff - it was the first show that I ever saw that had concepts like an pocket universe, control pylons that were larger inside than they were outside - a circular river that fed itself - a valley enclosed by mountains, and if you climbed a mountain and used binoculars to look at the farthest peak, you found that you were looking at the back of your own head in the distance, sort of like a repeating mirror. Also there was a pit deep in a cave that if you lowered yourself down into it on a rope, you found yourself hanging on a rope high up in the sky - that's just what I remember off the bat, it was a great Saturday morning show to stretch a kid's imagination.

The patterns on the walls in the Barite area were very interesting. In one section I wondered if there were fossil remains but I was probably wrong. The wood frames, ladders, etc. always amaze me; usually the seams tuck so well. Wish you had heard my telling you to turn around and go back the way you came when you pointed out the wet area!! That stretch of rock failure was a wee bit much. Take care, stay safe.

Gly, awesome adventure. You really pushed it on this one and we benefited from it on this end. The last part of the 600' that you pushed into was really sketchy and to be honest I would have said "Nope, no way" to doing that. The ribs and back are failing badly and this will most likely be the last images of that area. Glad to see that Mr. M and Randy where together with you and can only image what was waiting on the table when all of you got back. Take care and safe journeys for all of you.

“Gly”: Thanks Gordon! Your right, one more earthquake and the chute areas of the 600 will be gone forever. I’m happy I got as far as I did but it’ll always be a mystery as to how far that drift went. Also, I never did find the area where the miners accessed all the stopes above the chutes. I’m guessing it must have been behind one of the areas that collapsed.
