Cool explore. Them old timers can really show their McGivers. That homemade skip was awesome. Reminds me of someone else.😊Thanks for sharing.

Awesome !!!!!

Its amazing to me that all these voids in the earth were carved out by men and women using brute strength and determination. Certainly a much different breed of folks than we are today. Hats off to all of them and thanks to you and Julie for sharing your explores.

Hey, I have a Prestone can like that, about the same condition too.

I missed the part of what type of mine it was, Silver -Copper-Gold. I know green is copper sulfide . Blue Silver ore ? Just wondering .

Hi, very interesting. Mine one that I hopefully will check out when I get to Rhyolite. With all the hiking that you both do, you probably both feel like 20 and 30 years old! I don’t think I can do that anymore, but sometimes I shock my wife by the things that I do. I love exploring ever since I was in my 20s now I will be turning 69 this month, And I never give up! another great video and I will be researching your previous videos. Take care and be safe.😀

Hi Tom and Julie, I haven’t seen your videos in a long time. Have been involved with some major projects and I’ve had some problems with internet. It looks like both of you are doing very well professional hill climbers you both are what a great video you put on. I have to go back and do some research on your former videos that I have missed. The Mojave desert and all areas San Bernardino county have some of the best mining travel areas especially death Valley. We are doing well in Las Vegas and I do plan on going up to Rite Nevada in the area around it to explore places that I haven’t been. I’m glad that you and Julie are doing very well. Keep up the excellent videos. And be safe.

When I was a child in the 1950's we had a board game called "Chutes and Ladders". It had no meaning to me back then but after seeing some mines it was obviously inspired by the mining business. Hmmm.

There's a mine in the mountains in California only seen it on you tube all the trees keep it hiden there's an ore cart out front and lots goodies in side from what eye seen there's still Gold in it eyem in Texas so getting there's impossible for me

That jaw crusher probably dropped into a tube and then was carried down the hill, must have been some pretty impressive ore for them to have a jaw crusher on site.

I couldn't read the name on the 6 cylinder gas engine that powered the small rock crusher but it didn't look ancient. I understand the government reopened some marginal gold mines during WW2. To find out that newer engine was built in 42 or 43 would not surprise me.

Good One kinda a Yummy Vein!!!😊

Obviously pneumatic actuated brakes

Any idea of the date of the mine? Do you ever take any samples of the ore? That ore would have been nice in a collection. At one point you can see the quarts vein going up the side of the hill in a pretty clearly defined fault. Nice.

Thanks for the time in making this video. My mom has this chair, it's been close to 5 years now. Even though there is no F code. I'm wondering if I should change the batteries

Pretty cool video, thanks I enjoyed it. Quite a bit of copper staining, that black shiny mineral was very interesting. It looked silicated, don't think that is a word but.... I have no idea what it was, at first I thought it was gem quality azurite, it may be such a dark blue that it appears black, should have grabbed a sampled, It amazes me how much heavy equipment they managed to get there. Old miners were definitely a tough lot, what a bunch of wimps we are today, too long with a cushy existance has destroyed our desire to explore like they use to, today its all in our phones, sad really. Thank you, great video.

Thanks for the great video! I purchased a 38 ft travel trailer with only one roof vent in the bathroom. Was getting WAY too hot when in storage. Felt much less anxious about cutting a new hole in the roof with your video under my belt!

Thank you for a nice video looking forward to the nest one.

WindyBill here, the talc mine that was big was mined by Pfizer minerals back in the 70 or 80. they had 2 or 3 mines around there. that was a very large mine and would love to see what is behind that wood bulkhead as that looks like the main haullage tunnel . I understand that there is miles of tunnels down there. as ti was worked from the 30 to the 70 or 80. when my daughter went in there back in 2001 as she fit through the bars on the front gate there were still equipment tire track on the ground to that bulkhead. there is a entrance up on top of the mountion that dropes down in to the mine but did not have the equipment with me back then to go in to it as i was only camping with friends.

Nothing but meth heads out there boy. 😂

Hi Tom, Julie & Chillis, that was a very hairy part at 2:02, I was so worried. Wow that mine had a lot going on with both outside and the inside, awesome job guys. I loved that windlass, very cool how it was still intact, very rare I would say. Could that black ore be Obsidian ????? Very cool to see that Jaw Crusher just sat there minding it's own business, it still looks in pretty good shape too. What a unique place and with those spectacular views it must have made for a great day. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🥰

Love your videos. They are fascinating. Thank you again.

Added this one to my list. Now I just need to find it. :)

Lots of really cool artifacts, another awesome video thanks guys!

In 1998, a close buddy and I were hired to do mapping & surveys of a range in central Nevada. It was the sort of beginning of the campaign to install cages over exposed mines. When we started, we were given detailed satellite maps that used all available data to produce the maps themselves. According to all records, we should’ve only found 41 mines. What we actually found, was nearly 4,500 mines. We went into each one, a project which consumed two and a half years of our lives. We took samples, detailed video and pictures, we even collected serial numbers tied to each location off of mining equipment and did find nearly all original ownership or purchase documentation. Sadly, we turned in our final report, nearly 7,000 pages of documented mines, artifacts, graves, unknown camps. We found 129 separate sets of human remains, which were left intact where found, we just documented. What was disturbing, after we submitted the report to a local FEDERAL agency, about a year later we went back up to explore a few of the sites we’d documented, and low and behold, most what once was, was then gone. We were given a variety of excuses and reasoning, however, when we saw two of the steam plates/engines in the office of the very agency we had done the work for, we knew there and then, it was them who’d taken most of what we had found. Those old mines tell a story of which can’t ever be told again. History in motion and left nearly exactly how it was then. Anyhow, enjoy your channel and would love to go out with you two sometime. Robert

Those old engines are pretty interesting.

Spectacular site, Tom and Julie. It's a breathtaking open-air museum of historical mining, and I hope it stays that way forever. I'd love to visit it myself someday before I get too old (hah!), but I acknowledge and highly respect that you keep the location secret. It's the right thing to do. You two are my favorite mine explorers by far.

It’s sad seeing all those great finds of mining camps and mines sitting out in the yards of junk stores.

Hey guy's I wanted to say hi and enjoyed video, take care and be safe

Another good video.

Hello Tom and Julie, The Aurora Engine Company was formed in 1906 to build gasoline engines for Holt tractors as they transitioned from steam to gas. Holt and Best combined in 1925 to form a little-known company called Caterpillar. dave

Location?

Great job! More than 100 years old mine- looks like it has been left a few weeks ago. Thanks for this great video!

Great mine. It must not get many visitors. Lots of artifacts still there! Thanks for taking us along. Take care of each other and stay safe.

looks like one of many mines shut down by ww2

That was very interesting. I really enjoyed that. Will stalagmites and stalactites are very cool.😂

Great hike, awesome mine. Thanks for posting.

All the artifacts both inside and outside this mine! The size of the outcropping! It appears there has been visitors but not too many. I'm thinking the long hike up to this mine was worth it. Thanks Tom and Julie!

Thanks Tom and Julie! I couldn’t imagine the dedication it took to work on that mountain. Did the workers ride the tramway, horse, or auto on the old road? Maybe they just slept up there. You guys are tough hikers that travel the paths of tough men. May you always stay safe!

I’d love to go exploring with you guys sometime, but I hate snakes and I’d want to keep everything I find 😂

Tom & Julie thank you for another great adventure. You make recovery from back surgery bearable. Stay safe in all of your adventures.

!!!!! Cool🤙👍

Hello to the mine explorer's looks like the power of water sure did a number on this mine road .What you found is all most unbelievable the nice heavey mine equipment.The incline mine made it some what eazier for that in depth explore .But seeing that auger and that rock makes one wonder why.This is a top notch Adventure as allways maybe even more 🇺🇸⛏️Thank you .I will rewind and stop and watch again🏆🤔

spectacular views on the way to the mine!

Some kind of gem stone in that mine. Really nice views from the top of the mountain.

12:40 Prince Albert in a can??!?!?!? WELL YOU BETTER LET HIM OUT!!!!🤣🤣🤣

Wonder how many carbide lamps to light up the work area? And why all the lamps disappear?

Umm, Chili’s

While singing I’ll take the hi road, and you take the low road!

Tom and Julie, I see that you got there too late, someone already let the Prince out !! Engines, Engines Tom I want to go to there!
