Hey guys, we hope you're enjoying today's video. Julie and I will be out exploring for most of the day. Please leave a comment for us, and I will catch up on them when we return. Thanks! ⛏️👌

Thank you Tom and Julie. Imagine cutting all that timber with hand saw and axe? I was thinking what that gold would be worth at today’s prices.❤❤

“I better go over there and look” 😂 Like a kid in a candy store 😃 This mine is really really cool...I used to live in that area and I wish I would have done more exploring!

What, no Pirate and you are walking the plank? Tom and Julie, I really enjoyed this one, well I do them all. The quality of the wood joinery in this mine is superb, all the notches and cuts, so impressive. Thank you both for the tour and the break it provides from the drudgery.

Hi kids, I have to say that I have been totally taken away by you two and all the mine exploring you do. I don't think I've ever seen a braver woman in all my 77yrs of life. Tom, you shared some physical needs that Julie was faced with a short time ago and I wanted let you know I have held Julie in my prayers ever since that vidio. You two are so pleasant to watch and I pray you will be able to do this and post your mine explorations for many years to come. Your faithful follower Ben Rowland Gig Harbor, Washington

As always a great video from two lovely people. My lady and I have completed our first mine explore in the UK, it was awesome; thanks for your inspiration and entertainment guys!! Shame I can’t add a picture to comment as have awesome underground water wheel we photographed!!

To put that much labor into those workings they must have had some pretty good incentive. Just from what they didn't bother with id say that they were getting 8 ounces or better per ton. Thanks for the way you two make these videos. You capture the mines so well. The small hatch at the top of the ladders was just a hatch until Julie climbed up to it. Then we could see just how small it really is. How the heck did you squeeze through that milk chute! I can't wait to see the mill now. Thank you Both so much for making these fantastic videos and preserving these mines forever on video. I appreciate your historical documentation for future generations to see. These old mines are crumbling into obscurity. But these videos will ensure that they remain eternally. That's something you both can be proud of.

I was a uranium miner in Moab when I was six years old..LOL Best times I ever remember.. My dad struck a claim for The Rio Algum Lisbon Valley uranium mine...gave his share to my mom's cousin in 1972 Shut down now 250 employees and refinery built on the site.

You guys are such a cute couple. Love that you have this thing to enjoy together and grateful you share your adventures with us

You have no idea how much pleasure I get from watching you guys climb around inside of old mines! Great content loved it! 😁

Great mine, I love the natural log timbered sections also the wood work is some of the best we've seen in many mines they had a carpenter...👍👍 Great job Tom & Julie

Another great explore you two. Thank you sharing and for taking me along with you!

Timbering in a mine is always a plus, but natural timbering is the icing on the cake! And that mine had lots of it! Thanks for taking us along!

Hi Tom and Julie, Another great explore. Well done in all respects. The hand hewn natural timbers are a great find. As is all the handmade hardware. Thanks for putting in the extra effort to take us along on the long ladder climb and down into the steep stope area. Very well done.

GOOD MORNING Tom & Julie. Wow, what a great trip with you today. Beautiful Mine. Thank you so much for taking us with you. John & Cathy Mine lovers from Tacoma, WA

Thanks for the trip exploring that mine. That mine really had a lot of wood work, I liked the natural timbers they used. Glad Tom found some ladders to climb just always be careful. You guys are really a great team, until next time stay safe and God bless.

Julie is a trooper and that is an amazing mine. To bad so many collapses. Looks like it's almost a workable mine with much left. thanks for another great tour!

Thanks again Tom & Julie for taking us with you! Enjoyed the mine very much!

Beautiful natural timbering! Nice thick deposit you pointed out in that stope. All the colors. Nice mine! Can't wait to see more! Thanks Tom and Julie!

I liked this one a lot. All those natural Timbers were awesome and the veins looked rich. Thanks as always! ❤

Thank you Tom and Julie. What a great explore I loved all the timbers what an awesome mine.🍺🍺🍻🍻🥂⛏️⛏️🧨👀

Beautiful Tom and Julie you guys always make my day

Thanks for going up into the stope. Chutes from the top for a change. I could really see where the miners worked and envision what it might have been like.

I finally got a chance to finish the video. What a great mine. All those old timbers, the craftsmanship to shape them, the hooks looked to me like they were hand forged and the beautiful mineral colors in the veins . Thanks for taking us along. Take care of each other and be safe!

Thanks, Tom and Julie, for today's awesome video 👍

Julie is a trooper alright. I always listen for her to laugh at something--she has a very pleasing laugh. If you got her going laughing at things it would be a nice moment. Whoever built that mine was a good builder/joiner. Some mines look pretty haphazard--this one seemed pretty orderly.

Very interesting mine with natural old timber shoring. The old timer’s might have been short men, but obviously very strong and industrious individuals. I enjoy seeing the hand made hooks,anchors, and hardware they made from scratch. ( no big box hardware stores ) just their two hands and an idea to solve a challenge. The minerals in that mine were very interesting and colorful, Mother Earth has been at work a very long time before man came along . Thank you for taking us along ,Stay safe and happy exploring !!!

Got to agree T + J - that one is a hall of famer mine for sure. Thanks as always for sharing it with us! - Ed on the Ridge

You are both Troopers and watching you two explore is fascinating to say the least. I always enjoy watching the both of you explore the depths of these mines. The only artifacts were not only cigarettes but the old gas can that was made in Puente. I love watching you guys explore and decide if you should climb up the stairs or not. But 100 feet up and you did it! I wonder how old those home made ladders were? As usual thanks for taking us along. It was Awesome!!🎖🎖 I'll bet you were tired when you got back? Hungry too...🍕🍕

Thank for another great mine I look forward to seeing the two of you each week . Stay safe be careful. and again Thank you

Many mines seem to have some very crude timbering, but it appears that this mine had some master carpenters doing the reinforcing! After over 100 years their shoring is still working flawlessly!

Bowing vs Boeing, that made me smile 😊. Lotsa natural timber in this one. My dad smoked Pall Mall cigs for as long as I can remember. That single piece of track was way off the beaten path. Probably why it’s still there. When I watch your video’s I always check the time length, 37:50 for this one, and time just flies by. Always entertaining! Thanks, T&J!!

That was fun! Lots to look at….beautiful explosives shack, beautiful craftsmanship, beautiful vein, beautiful timbers, awesome mine. Nice and dry. Not a speck of rust on that sheave wheel. Great episode. Excellent video. Thanks you two!! 👍👍👍👊😎

There’s real beauty in those natural timbers. Some craftsmanship in using the old hand tools.

Thanks Julie and Tom. Keep up the great job!

Wow you two, I just got watch the second half of this video, these miners were very good with their bracing and reinforcing in this one, thank you for the tour, stay safe and I will see you in the next one.

Thank you, Tom & Julie! I bet they got a lot of great ore out of that mine. Safe Journeys ahead.

Great Video! I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for sharing all of your explorations!

My Dad worked at Lacnor uranium mine at Eliot Lake Ontario Canada. He was a sampler😊

Now that was a trippy Mine! 🎸🎸 Thanks you two

Crazy colours in that mine. Looking forward to the next installment.

Amazing workings in this mine. Thanks for taking us along!

The amount of natural timbering in this mine is just incredible. And as you stated Tom “ Where did it ALL come from since there’s no trees that size or type in the area?” Really appreciate what you both go through to bring us all these wonderful videos & I wanted to say a heart felt “ THANKS” to both of you . I’m doubly impressed now that I find you are 4 years older than me Tom, and did not know about Julie’s past cancer issues.😳. May God watch over you both & keep you two safe in your endeavors, and travels. Can’t wait for the next part to this great mine ……🤞. Old Gly from that other mine exploration channel would just LOVE this one .😉

Once again a great explore. . I love the stills thanks Tom and Julie

Such a window into the level of labor in the past. Great history lesson, Thank You for taking us along.

another great video! "see it bowing (not the airplane}" @29:40. made me laugh. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 exactly what i was thinking when i heard "bowing" / "boeing". 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That was a really cool mine, it had some beautiful woodwork in there. Very interesting mine. thank you for sharing. I look forward to the next videos. From the looks of it, it looks like there still could be gold there, however I don’t know how many tons to the ounce it would be, unless someone milled it and refined it. I know that there are still some people that have staked a claim on some of those old mines in Northern California and they are processing quite a bit of gold out of those old mines to this day. I think it’s really cool to see how they did mining from way back in the early days. Those old wooden ladders and shoots are really amazing. And especially the depth of the mine and especially the amount of hard work those men had to do to clean all that out. Just to be able to see history already made, and somewhat still preserved. Once again, thank you both for your hard work and sharing. 😁👍❤️

Hi you 2 cool 😎 door nice timbers look at the colors thinks for letting me watch.

Great explore as usual❤❤, I wish we had nice dry mines to explore here in BC but 99% are wet and/or flooded.

thank`s for your vid`s tom and julie I enjoyed every one of them they are great love yer both and be carefull .

Hello Tom and Julie with all the adventure's and discovies and research and the rest of the hands exploring it does get hard to leave a comment any way thank you both for it all and a tip of🎩 .ps. Love the workman ship of all the timber work and more ⛏️🏆❤️🤔

Hi Tom & Julie, those timbers were very cool to see, seeing those two counterweights and the homemade pulleys was very unique, you just don't see that type of thing normally and it shows great ingenuity by the miners too for making it all out of everyday things, awesome. It's also fairly unique to see a sheave wheel still left in situ too. Well done both of you on those ladders and in and out of the stulls, good job. Thank you for sharing, much love to you both. xx 🥰

That one really was a treat. The timbering is craftsmanship I love it! 😊

Great job! As one who’s not fond of ladders most of what you do would be beyond me. Very interesting mine.

Have a great day exploring, Joshua Tree is always cool, stay safe

Another bobby dazzler guys.🤠

Hello Tom and Julie, I believe you could term that a double clinch on that hook. Someone really liked to saw timber joints. Those are so well done. The thing that I wonder about is how they got an ore car to that upper lever. It hardly looks like there is any way that one could go up, even in pieces. With that degree of difficulty, it's amazing that they removed it. Take care of your ribs, Tom. Julie, glad to hear that the cancer has stayed away.

I was doing some research on mines and mining terminology for a D&D campaign I want to run for my friends, but I truly love this exploration so much! I'm gonna go ahead and smash that subscribe button! Stay safe!!

Another Great Awesome Show guys thank you and see you Friday after next :)

Loved it! Just thinking the miners couldn’t pick up a phone and order timbers. Things moved slowly but as you see their work lives on through the explores of you guys. Thank you!

man I REALLY REALLY Enjoyed this one guys! thanks as always for what you share!

Really good min thanks Tom and julie

There arent good carpenters in this day compared to the skills they had back in the day. It seems it would be the other way around. The work in mines like this is a lost art for shure. Thank you! Regards from Ody Slim

You're explores / vids are a real pleasure to watch. Interesting, flow nicely, and you guys have such a fantastic attitude - it really comes thru. Thank YOU for sharing :)

Great mine. i give it 15 stars out of 10.

Great video very interesting mine great job guys keep it up👍🇺🇸👍

Awesome explore ! Thanks for sharing . See you on the next one.

Wow! Very interesting mine. Thanks for sharing!!

Great mine explore, looking forward to the return for the shaft explore.

Hello Tom Hello Julie Thank you for this wonderfull Video. The mine was great The timbering is Made in German style very good . All the timber choped Down with an axe . What a amount of work. Of course there are no trees left behind when no one plantet New trees. So the desert can grow and grow. I wish you both a happy New week and all the best Yours Frank Galetzka

Very nice mine, really enjoyed the video. Thank you..

This is a fantastic mine. Thanks for taking us along, nice job guys.

Probably a Mime Glove Tom!

Thanks for pausing on some of the interesting things you see that gives me a moment to soak it in. I enjoy your adventures!

Cool mine guys see you on the next one take care out there

Awesome Mine Tom & Julie I like the Timber's ! This Place is A Very Fun One

Very cool! It's amazing how many of those old workings there are....been up to the old Barry Storm Jade Mine in Joshua Tree? Friends introduced me back in '71 or so....he still lived on the claim, but died soon after...over 50 years ago, wow.

Glad to see your still kickin got a little worried about you too

👍another great video..that was mortar on that smooth wall to hold up that side of the ladder

My favorite channel ❤️ with my two favorite explorer's 😊 Enjoyed the episode, love the artifacts and minerals, lots of stopes and shoots, looking forward to your next episode 😊

Really colorful veins in this mine. I see the colors yellow and gold. Is that actually gold? I see deep red and purple colors. Do you know what those minerals are? Great timbering. They were great carpenters and craftsman. Seemed like they enjoyed their work working with wood. Great footage at the end going down each ladder rung. Makes me feel like I was there. With the lack of trees, they would have had to truck all that raw timber and boards in? A real keeper! 👍

Nice explore, lots of cool stuff in that mine!

thanks as always, two thumbs up

As much as I like seeing the old timbering, the hand forged relic are awesome! Great recap vid. Thanks guys, stay safe 👍👍

What a mine! Guessing it's far from tapped out. Makes me wonder if a claim would materialize in the future? The mineralization is incredible. Maybe one of the 2 World Wars stopped mining? Second likely? Guessing that because of what's seen in there. And imagining how many conscientious explorers are leaving it in good order. No graffiti or news papers though. My 2 favorite side parts of any explore. Which I'm not doing, so no complaints! Thanks 👍🏻 always grateful.

Another great adventure guys loved it can't wait to see where the shaft will take ya the colors was crazy in there 2thumbs up from Ohio👍👍

Another fantastic explore, guys!! That hook dangling from a low stull at 22:50 could have been an anchor point for a slusher. I can't think of what else it would be if not that. Some really attractive veins in this mine. Veins are always very intriguing to me because they tell a story about the geology in that particular region. The story they tell is one of incredible violence on the part of Mother Nature since the minerals in those ore veins were delivered under incredible heat and pressure - so hot that the supercritical fluids circulating in the faults could dissolve metal! These fluids were heated by an underground plume of magma that was active and on the move in this region. If this is Nevada then all of this activity likely occurred between 7 - 13 million years ago. As the superheated metal-laden fluids rose and cooled through the faults in this region, the metals (gold, silver, copper, etc) dropped out and hardened in a mineral matrix, often containing quartz. The fluids would likely have risen all of the way to the surface, and manifested as a geyser or a hot spring, similar in appearance to Yellowstone. I could geek out about this stuff all day, LOL.

GREAT EXPLORE" EPIC GOOD TIMES!!! WINNER MINERALS" CHEERS" jd

best adventure yet , i am impressed ! my father worked in the mines , Union carbide pine creek near Bishop and Climax in Colorado and a Cinnabar mine in Nevada to name a few . we explored some too. Thanks ,Ted.

Hello Julie and Tom. Very nice video. Seeing that wheel that was still in it's place was pretty amazing. Surprised that didn't disappear a long time ago. When you shinned the flash light down passage number 2 I believe it was there was something shinny down there. It didn't seem to move so I don't think they were eyeballs.

Another super cool explore!

Awesome adventure, have catching up to do on your mine experiences. Been on my own, new great grandson in Parker I had to go spoil. Thank you for all you share with us. Take care and be safe😊

Another great video thank you guys for sharing. Be safe, but have fun.

Wish i was there ! it's raining in Wa. as usual.

always watching and enjoying the majestic views!

That was a very cool mine! Thanks for the mine explore adventure!

I'm now subscribed !!!! Yippee !!!!

awesome exploration that sure is a Big Mine wow!! amazing timers, love seeing you climbing on those big timers down there... nice hike to the mine too all kinds of good stuff thanks for sharing

Gorgeous........

These were not miners , these were Carpenters !! Lol Very professional, very nice ,
