Video

I went out to Nehr and Limerock today. I kept my eye out for that second one ate Nehr, but didn't see it. I'll have to keep my eyes pealed next time I'm out there. It was a quick trip, but an interesting area.

Hey do you think it is still open in 2024?

that is a steam powered air compressor outside the mine you said the boiler looked exactly like the one below and it was probably exposed to freezing and busting the tank on top as the one below ground wasnt exposed to such extreme conditions..

What a great film of the Bonanza mine!.. I was a hard rock miner a year. Been looking dreaming of exploring this mine past 5 years.. Amazing film work..great lights. Thank you for sharing

Dredging by all the p*** and the needles you're not in California anymore you must be in Arizona😂

If you google the V.C. Kelley Cal Tech, there's interesting info about the guy.

One of the best mine explorers I’ve ever seen 👍😳😃

Great video! 50 years ago on the other side of the freeway where there are now houses used to be a spot that people went to shoot guns open field. It was fun. At that time, I heard there was a "Titanium" mine in this area, but never knew the actual FACT of it. AWESOME video!!! Thank you.

One of my favorite hiking areas

I would assume that the bear canyon placer mine evolved into a hard rock mine as the placer deposits became exhausted and the miners began searching for the source of the placer gold...

3:20 to 3:29 looks like someone with a miners helmet and lamp is looking at the camera from inside the addit!😮

Never ever handle old dynamite in an old mine. I worked in a hard rock lead silver mine in Idaho and I know a lot about using the stuff. People see you do this on your video and they think it is safe and it is not.

I grew up in Acton from 1955 until 1970. And we explored Minds all over that area growing up

i really wish you would have taken some of these artifacts and gave them to local museums because once it collapses who knows if they will ever see it again.

why are you guys not using 4k yet?

I went there back in the 70"s there once were cabins there and tracks all over

You certainly have done your homework, and really new what to look for to find all the outlets of this mine! About 43 years ago my friends and I loaded up our Boy Scout style packs, topo map, compass and equipmrnt and camped up near the mine, and enjoyed all that you showed in your video. I love that there is very little, if any, litter or graffiti. Thank you for the amazing walk down memory lane...uh, trail!

Oh yes the upper Manzanita North. There's like four more drifts above that and then on the opposite side of the mountain but as you know the main two are the ones the one that you went in and the one below it that's not dugout

Dope nick

I remember when I went in there it's full of water at the bottom and it actually keeps going down below the water and there's an old ladder that goes deep down in the water

The old house below it was the miners cabin house and they made the Adobe bricks from the area that's the house that I'm remodeling right now and fixing up all the nails are square nails it's right below this mine shaft that's on the property that's crazy man I am doing remodel on the house that they lived and worked in they had 5 fire places inside

What city is this mine near ?

Walt Dorn. They lived in Green Valley from 1916 to 1930 and again from 1943 until the 1980’s. He had pictures of the mines including ones with him in them. He also had his own claim for gold he mined in the Angeles Forest.

I find it very interesting how these mines were made by men probably not around anymore and how they get closed off inside to maybe never be seen again

Which Banaze mine, the one in the catchumack valley in Alaska or some other state?

Is this mine active again?

something else in that tunnel at 5:18 you can see the refection from the torch in its eyes as it ducks away

Love the video! FYI, I just went there on Tuesday and the there's a lot more water now after all of the rain we had in the LA area.

There are tunnels like this on Kauai. The tunnels go under mountains to divert water to the sugar cane fields. I heard the chinese workers dug them.

Lone ranger first was a radio show, so that pre-dated TV.

Stiiiiilll falling.

I have an ore car from the Bonanza mine in Colorado my Dad and uncle retrieved in the 1950s

The road used to be very passable. A friend of mine drove up in his VW with no problems in the late 60's .

I havent been up there in over 25 years. Loved it up there. I heard a fire swept through there a few years ago.

I thought I was seeing things, so I watched it twice. You picked up a FULL 8" stick of 40% T'NT Dynamite that's been improperly stored for 104 years. Stop. What's wrong with doing that? Hint: 20th century Dynamite has a 12 month shelf life. The stick You picked up if dropped at any point from the second it was an inch off the floor to Your face would have turned You two knuckleheads to red wind. You're stupid lucky, & it's exactly that type of thing that gets people killed. Absolutely the stupidest jackass moment I've seen in 20 years of CZcams. What did You do with it???

Nice! This reminds me of a spot near Monte Cristo Campground that I stumbled upon a few years ago.

Hello there, about 3 years ago you did a two part video on the Bonanza Mine. I am particularly interested in the Kennecott Alaska Bonanza mine. I understand there a many "Bonanza" mines, can you confirm that this not the Alaska one?

Nice work, show more of the rock inside the mine, it would be great to see good pics of ore.

To bad n wish the rails n car was for sale that would make a good backyard railroad

❤ thank you

Stope is dope

great video im inspired to check it out

That is the Long Dave cabin. The story goes he went to the doctor and got a terrible diagnosis. Hey bought a bottle of booze a cigar and preceded to get tanked. At the end of the cigar he lit a keg of dynamite and blew himself up along with the cabin. Great place to visit!!!

The Circle with a dot in the center is a universally known symbol for Gold.

Bear Canyon Mine. Copper then gold until the 1950s. Sadly it's guarded now but you can probably find a way around.

I've always wondered what medieval armaments would look like if they were made of heat resistant metals such as titanium and tungsten. Whenever old books talk about a sword being better than other swords I can't help but wonder if it's made out of an element other than iron.

That ore moving demo was incredible 🤯 Insane find, gentlemen 👏

I used to go to those mines out there .there is lots of vertical mine shafts .

Awesome video

Didnt realize there those types of mines near us
