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 CZcams!
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...

I like the way you take time to check out some of the old artifacts down these mines (however small). Alot of explorers seem to forget that these mines were hand dug, blasted and drilled by people in tough danderous conditions and without the human story there would be no mine!
Love your channel. Both of my grandpa's were miners, they started mining about 100 yrs ago. When i was a kid I had many conversations about mining, and heard plenty of stories. It's nice seeing all the timbering and such, a verbal description to a child doesn't translate to reality very well. The details in your video's brings all the stories back to life. They were coal miners and some things are different from hard rock but the terms, timbering and such aren't. Thank you.
“Gly”: Thank you! I’m really happy your enjoying the channel and I very much enjoy taking you to these places.
This channel is one of many different channels. The difference is I feel educated after watching this one. Gly always takes time to explain the do’s and don’t s the what’s and why’s. And he makes sure to show us the amazing artifacts left behind. That’s what makes this channel the best mine exploration channel on YT. I’ve never really thought much of the geology of Mother Earth until I started watching Gly and frank take matters to a whole new level. Thank you both for these amazing videos that journey into the center of the earth. You guys rock ! Literally. Lol.
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
Abandoned and Forgotten Places absolutely!! And thank you for the awesome education. I’m 41 with a GED diploma. I didn’t finish school when I was younger but did go back 4 years ago. Back in school I didn’t care much for things like this but as I get older I find things like this intriguing. Keep up the awesome work buddy!
And not adding the fake apprehension of danger.
Roy Reynolds amen !!
Really enjoying the extended geological information format and additional contextual components. It’s also nice to see that your growing in Frank-like boldness to get into some of those tighter, awkward, foreboding or sketchy areas of this mine. Thorny pack rat stickers and all. Yikes!
Sometimes when you first use your laser pointer I think I’m seeing some sort of man made cave dwelling fireflies ostensibly presumed to be extinct.
Really great work GLY! You may be surprised how big your channel has gotten in another year’s time. Each episode is tremendously engaging and quite rivetingly exciting.
“Gly”: Thanks! When I started this channel I was pretty much filming everything solo and that puts allot of limitations on what you can and can’t do safely. Having a second person with me be it Frank or my new camera person really opens a bunch of new doors. A common misconception about me is that it took Frank to spur me forward into more risky situations when actually, I was exploring mines like he does going all the way back to the 80’s. I just didn’t have a camera with me back then and it’s a good thing I didn’t because my mother would have killed me. Lol. And, I didn’t weigh 210Lbs back then either. What I wouldn’t give to be back in my 20’s again with a 4K camera.
Gly! What did you find! I can hear the excitement in your voice. What is it? I’ll wait and see my friend but I have a feeling it will be well worth the wait. Hints? Come’on Buddy.
The production value keeps getting better and better Sir. Well done.
who needs Saturday morning cartoons when you have abandoned mines!
I just love it when I come in after grabbing a mug O Joe and there is a AFP video just a waiting for me!!1
EXCELLENT! Can't wait for part 2..3?...? A very "clean" mine with well preserved wood. Rock On!
Excellent clear footage and commentary. Absolutely fascinating mine. Much appreciated!
When I was exploring old mines back in the 1960's it was always nice to come across inset ladder rungs rather than ones that were just nailed on to the uprights. All of my sites were from the East side of Death Valley going West. I used old topo maps showing buildings and mine sites.
Man, you have my respect, always a very nice video image, audio and wonderful content.
Greetings from Brazil.
Nice seeing you in front of the camera gives us a proper prospective of the spaces you are moving through.
Wow big mine - great footage thanks!
My heart did a little flutter when you came upon that large diameter rope laying on the floor. I thought sure it was a huge rattler 😮. Another great journey 'Gly', thanks.
I think you should have put the fuse in the end of the flare, the next person through there would have a heart attack LMAO!
“Gly”: Lol. We actually considered it!
Loll
This is a great episode, I would love to see geology like that in person
Man that is some mine, never seen anything like it the timbers all look in good condition. Can’t wait to see the rest of the lower levels. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🛸🛸👍👍
Your videos get better and better, Gly! I watched and heard you say this mine was worked till 1969 and my first mental reaction was "that's not old at all" and next I remembered that it's 2020 and I was finishing school in the years this mine was winding down. When did I get this damn old?!? Keep up the good work; I'll keep watching!
“Gly”: Thanks! Yes, I was having the same conversation with my camera person when we were filming this. The 60’s for us isn’t that old but for someone in their 20’s it’s ancient. Haha
Wow what a huge amount of timber work. As always a great video. Thanks
Our first snow today in North Georgia and it is 6 inches. Perfect day to watch Gly and Frank videos! Thanks for the huge effort putting these videos together. Everybody should watch the ads and click on the links to help Gly's fund his efforts.
“Gly”: I agree! Every ad watched means more revenue for the channel which means more equipment for the channel which means better videos and locations for you! 👍👍
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Thanks for the heads up on watching the ads. I always thought the ads benefited youtube and not the uploader. I'll turn off my adblocker for your videos as of now.
@@wefukthenwo Three things really help reimbursement rate. 1. watching ads 2. clicking on links 3. duration of video watched. The quality of ads, country ads targeted and target of audience also help reimbursement. Looking at Gly ads I would say he gets more valuable advertising than a site target to teens. As Frank says just let your dog watch it on autoplay
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces That's why I leave my computer at work running on "Play All" on your channel when i leave at night, and over my days off with the monitor turned off. I've got it pretty much running 24/7. Just doing a little bit to support my favorite CZcams channel. Hey Gly, is there any way that you can get a screen shot of that Miners Cat that you and Frank videotaped sitting on that stole looking back down at you with those big ole eyes? That is what I'd really like to see on a mug if you could. That would make a much better photo on a mug than the generic photo of the miners cat that is available now. Just wondering if it's possible. That is the mug I want to purchase, and I think others would jump on that one as well. The way it's sitting on that stole with it's tail visible on the one end, and then it's face turned down looking back at you is an awesome sight.
George King
“Gly”: Thanks George, that’s just awesome and so appreciated. If all of my subscribers did what your doing for just a few days I’d be taking 70mm IMAX cameras into these places. Lol
Well, Frank owns the footage of the miners cat we found in his episode and I would have to source the original file to make a good image for the artwork. Frank is pretty busy with his incredible Levi’s find and I probably won’t be meeting back up with him again until this fall sometime. But your right, that little guy sure was adorable looking down on us like that.
I like your attitude and the way you don't above the heads of people like me who have never seen a mine .
Last one for the day! This is getting interesting. Gly, thanks for the info on this mine, nice to hear all that was found and brought to the surface. This is getting cooler and cooler, gee what you and your companion do for us. Whoa, that is a well stoped area, where you are at now, so much removal of minerals and ores. You still pull us deeper and deeper further into your adventures. Loving it
Nice big workings, nice video as usual.
It's good that you point out the risk of obscured false floors.
Great video. Can’t wait until next week. Stay safe. Big Hugs.
Thank you Gly for another great video. I don’t see till Sunday morning down under. The stabilisation on your vids & TVR are the best. No worries with vertigo at all.
We’ve just gone from a couple of months of wondering which fire front will hit us first to a week of flooding rains. Lol, now it’s which river will break its banks and hit us first. The local pub, as usual, has a pool ( bets) going .
One thing we can count on is another great vid from you to take our minds off what’s around us.
Keep up the great work.
P.S I hate cliff hangers. Really. :p
“Gly”: WOW, yes, you really have allot going on in your neck of the woods. The fires your dealing with remind me of the summer of 1988 here in the states when Yellowstone Park and surrounding area all burned to the ground. I’m happy I’m able to take your mind off of all that just for a moment. Hang in there.
Great video from a great team 👍👍🤚🙂
LOOK! at those reds in the walls. Did you "pick" out some samples for us? If the vein was approx. 5ft. across I wonder why they stopped right beyond that vein? I guess we'll never know why some of these mines shut down or stopped where & when they did. What was the reason?? Geez, its like a house basement in that huge space with all the stoles. What a sight! You're doing a good job in taking us along on your mine adventures. I, again, caught myself leaning in to peer over the edge like you are doing, and I'm just sitting infront of my laptop! lol Hey! no fair, leaving us with a "cliffhanger"......ha,ha. Great video.....stay safe.
Great new video, thanks
great stuff as always. you and frank are my boys. don't ever stop and be safe brother. cheers
Love how you are doing your videos now you are able to show a lot more really cool.
Oh please make a number two. What a great mine. Thank you .
I love it! Of all your videos I've watched so far, and I've watched a lot, this one is quick to the good stuff! Great camera work by your friend and a good cliffhanger\hook for the next episode! You were good from episode one, but you've only gotten better! I like the more in-depth longer videos too, but this definitely held my attention the whole time. You make me wish I could come on an adventure with you!
Another great exploration of a mine! Thanks guys!
I grew up in Canton, Ohio home of the TIMKEN Company.. the make all kinds of hardened bearings and metal products that are used world wide.. during WW2 they did roller bearings for military applications and was a potential target for attack. I had no idea they also made drill tip inserts for mining! Great channel bro.
Ironically my grandfather retired from Timken roller bearing company in the 60’s
Wow she just keeps giving it's like a rabbit warren down there. Some very cool area's though and those ladders look for the most part pristine. An awesome explore so far, thank you for sharing it with us and thanks to I'm guessing it's Frank there on camera 😉💖 xx
“Gly”: Yes, this one was allot bigger than I imagined and filled with all kinds of goodies. I had an old gum ball machine laying around so I smashed it and made me a new camera person out of spare parts, tape and mixed adhesives. 😉
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Haha the gumball camera person can help you out in sticky situations 😂❤ xx
You are so knowledgeable. No fear.
You are a certified legend Gly. Your videos are fantastic. For someone like me who can only dream about exploring lost mines, you bring all the excitement and fun home. Thank you for putting this channel together and BE SAFE.
BTW, I think you and Frank made a great team. I hope the two of you can get together for another series of mine exploration in the not too distant future!
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
You did fantastic & made it very interesting. Thanks again.
A+ video Gly, cant wait to see what happens next week 👍
Thanks for taking us along again, Gly! It is amazing how much timber was put into these mines so far down, and still able to bear major loads! The mixed-metal ore is so cool looking! Waiting for part 2 anxiously!👍👍
25:44 "Look at what I found. Oh My........" We're Looking, We're looking!!!!!!! Not Fair!!!!!!!! Ugh!!!!!! The suspense is killing me!!!!
The mine that keeps giving great stuff you do a great job on your videos awesome channel congrats on the growing success as always be safe
“Gly”: Thanks Steve!
Abandoned and Forgotten Places forgot to mention photographer is doing a excellent job 👍👍
Hey gly forgot to mention photographer is doing a excellent job 👍👍
I'm a little undecided here. I like the second person doing the camera work since it really helps puts everything into scale and perspective as far as angles and steepness ... and they are doing a great job.
But ... for a person exploring a mine vicariously through your videos, I truly prefer the first person camera work from your earlier videos. That point of view gives a far greater sense of being there, which makes the viewing experience that much better.
“Gly”: I’m going to be doing a little of both depending on the layout of the mine. This mine has lots of timbering so having me in front of the camera offers perspective. Other areas like where I found the pack rat nest was good for a FPS shot like I did. I want to stay away from 100% FPS because it gives allot of people vertigo when watching a 30 minute video. I think a little of each is a good strategy for this type of mine.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces i fully understand the vertigo aspect ... i cant watch a movie at a theater for that reason .. yet the image stabilization for your fps camerawork has never bothered me .. maybe because im limited to viewing youtube on my phone
Once again a great video. I really enjoy your comments on the geology as well as the time you take to show the artifacts. So many other mine exploration channels move to fast and comment to little. Keep up the great work and awesome video.
“Gly”: Thank you!
1.) That piece of paper that was about safe handling of explosives at 8:22 was dated 2 weeks after I was born !! HAHA!!!!
2.) I'm a total noob here. I have gone back and started watching your videos in order so please forgive my ignorance if the answer to this question awaits me in videos after the first 3 or 4. You do seem to be quite knowledgeable about the geology inside these mines. Could you possibly take the occasional 3-4 seconds and explain not just what kind of rock we are looking, but why that rock was important to the miners originally? Thank you very much for your time and attention in these questions.
I eagerly look forward to watching more of your videos as they are SO much more entertaining than most channels that cover this type of thing.
3.) Take care, stay safe, and as always, Semper Fi !
“Gly”: Thank you! I’m happy your enjoying the channel! Well, my older videos were kind of experimental to see what the viewers were interested in. Now, almost a year later I think I have the channel far more refined showing more geology and talking more about why and how the miners made these places. I did do a collaboration with Canadian Frank a few months back so the style of the channel changed somewhat through that period. Nevertheless, I think you’ll enjoy all the episodes as each one takes you to a new and interesting place.
Well I can't wait to see the next episode!!
"Rock bit " instructions are in english! i'm impressed! LOL
Nobody explains mines, or knows more about mines on You Tube, than you do Gly. I look forward to hearing and seeing your adventures every week.
You do an excellent job of video and explanations ! Nice work!
“Gly”: Thank you.
Very good advice on those false floors!
Happy and Sad day. Happy, new great video. Sad, I just finished binge watching your entire channel in the last two weeks. Now I have to wait like everybody else for new content. If you had told me a month ago that I would be mesmerized by a guy explaining mines to me, I would have laughed. You have taught so much. I tip my hat to you young man, me sitting here exhausted by watching and having pulled a back muscle reaching for the keyboard to post this comment. ;-) ;-) ;-) Just one request. If you ever stop making videos, PLEASE PLEASE make it very clear in the last one (big red flashing banner). If you skip a week, I will be worried of accidents. Again, ;-) ;-) Thank you so so much for the wealth of information you gave me.
“Gly”: Thank you so very much and I’m really happy your enjoying the channel! This started out as just an Idea close to a year ago and I’m amazed at what it’s slowly blossoming into. Again, thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate it.
Thanks for the laser good foot guidance cool video happy New Year
Waiting for the next video thank you Gly!
Wow that mine is pretty cool, I can't wait to see the rest. Thank you for doing what you do!
It's saturday afternoon, my wife is off to work (work as a chef in a thai restaurant), I am alone here with my dog, and some beer of course. and I see there is a new movie from "Gly". Can it be better, than sitting down and watch Abandoned and Forgotten Places new movie, together with a beer? But now I have to wait a week to find out what you found......not fair he he.
I love your videos, and now I really look forward to your movie next saturday.
Take care, and greetings from Norway . 73 Asle
“Gly”: Thank you so very much! This mine is just to darn big to stuff into one episode and every level deeper is another step back in time. I think your going to like what I find down there and it’ll definitely be worth the wait. Cheers! 🍻
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces I believe you, and I will send my wife off to work next saturday too - and buy a sixpaxck of beer :). Have a nice weekend. Asle
The footage is so crystal clear, you can see all the detail beautifully. The rock is very colourful in that mine. Hope your shins
didn't suffer too much Gly with all those cactus needles. The pack rat had quite the mansion for a home. It was cool to hear how that pile of rock fragments got there from the core sampling. All those ladders were in pretty good condition, it must have been quite a workout going up and down them. It was interesting to see the items you spotted on this explore, thank you for sharing.
Looking forward to next week's adventure. Take care and be safe. 👍❤️
Morning, very large workings with a lot of timber in that mine, stay safe! Thanks👍
cool mine you found there Gly, shame about the dead miners cat though, cant wait till next week now, see ya then
“Gly”: I’m not sure what their mortality rate is but I suppose you’ll find a few dead ones in a mine that’s nearly 100 years old.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces yeah you're right man,
"Oh guy's, look at what I've found" great way to leave us hangin' for next week. Nice exploring with you again.
Can't wait for the next chapter ⛏
Nice . Another good one .
I love your channel Gly, you really 'rock'! Stay safe out there!!
My daughter and I watching this, really cool looking mine. so sparkly! I assume that wasn't noticeable until you reviewed the footage..still very cool mineralization .
“Gly”: Actually, it was quite sparkly with the naked eye in there. All the calcite and galena really make this mine sparkle.
That diamond drill hole from the surface is really cool!
Love your video’s , Timken roller bearing and metal was here in Canton Ohio. They were a mega employer , many a product. Neat to see there items out your way. They arent who they use to be .. sad.
Very nice find there man! Be safe out there
Another awesome video! Gonna go up to Canada and do more vids with Frank? You guys do great compilations together!
“Gly”: Possibly in 2021.
That'd be awesome! Be safe and happy exploring!
Cactus thorns build character :)
Gly that Pillar showed it all in the beginning, great Red Colors, just chip away at that. But seriously Gly, who is holding the PVC 5000? I have been following you from day one. I know it’s not, Hula Girl, or Old Bob. You also had some characters along the way. Let us all know in your next adventure. That mine is like a maze man, did you ever find the cheese that mouse was looking for at the end of that maze?
“Gly”: Well, if ya really gotta know... here is the official statement: 😉
My new camera person is ex CIA, a GLG-20 to be precise. They assisted me back during the Cold War sabotaging SS-50 ICBM launchers in the Pamir Mountains of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic. You’d be amazed with what you can do to the guidance system of one of those things with just a rock! Anyways, if I reveal their identity they told me they would cut off a finger. Be it mine or theirs I don’t want to find out.
Brilliant video Gly .very interesting indeed
yeah buddy! You are doing it right!
“Gly”: You would not believe the comments and laughs I get when people notice Old Bob’s new “pair”. 🎾 🎾😳😂🤣
Be careful with unexploded road flares.
“Gly”: Lol. 👍 OK.
a really cool mine can't wait for the next video gly
Thanks for letting us know what other mineralization the miners dug from theses mines. There was more then gold and silver in the earth
Beginning about 6:00 and 9:50, what was causing the twinkling sparkles on the walls? Recalled you mentioning lemonite(?) and calcification. Interesting video, as always. Thanks for your posts.
“Gly”: Most (but not all) of the sparkling crystals you are seeing are forms of calcification within the limonite. The galena sulfides also sparkle in the light.
Hey Gly, So who is your new cameraman/woman? Don't tell me you got Dear Ole Mom to venture down these decline shafts with you!😂 Just curious as to who's looking after you now. I believe it's better with you in front of the camera rather than just staying behind it. BTW you really didn't have to leave us with such a teaser for next week. Now we're all going to be driven nuts wondering just what it is that you have found, when we all would have been watching next week anyways. Your channel is good enough that you don't need teasers to get us viewers to tune in. Just giving you a hard time, because I'm going to be going crazy waiting for next weeks video now. Keep up the fantastic work Buddy. Awesome job as always.
“Gly”: But George, everyone likes a surprise! Haha
My new camera person is ex CIA, a GLG-20 to be precise. They assisted me back during the Cold War sabotaging SS-50 ICBM launchers in the Pamir Mountains of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic.

@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Wow, what an amazing time that must have been. I am an army veteran, and I spent 18 months in Dongduchon South Korea, 2nd Infantry Division, Camp Casey in 1982 once my top secret clearance went through after AIT. Nothing as exciting as what yours sounds like. I did spend 45 days TDY on the DMZ and that was an experience I will never forget. Kim's father was still alive back then. We we're stationed 16 miles south of the DMZ. Within artillery range. That place was insane weather wise, and other wise.😂
Your camera person is great. Fun explore, and good times. Your camera person should say something too. C ya next week.
“Gly”: My camera person practices a religion I don’t quite understand. They’ve taken a vow of silence until such time when the stars and planets are in a certain alignment. 😉
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces cool. Tell him he is a professional and a great guy. Thanks Gly.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces LOL, oh brother, that was a good one Gly!.......ha,ha,ha.
With the geological knowledge that you have, can you tell me how does one identify the different metals based upon sight? You identified the vein the miners mined, but how did they know these different metals were in the vein? All your videos are extremely knowledgeable and I have watched them all!
"Gly": Rocks and minerals are easily identifiable by sight such as quartz, limonite, sulfides, etc. Once identified a sample will be collected for assay and that assay will determine the percentage of metals in the sample. It's rare but visible gold can sometimes be seen in very high grade deposits. Thanks for watching! I'm really happy your enjoying the show!
21:28 is it fair to say the mine is now a CATacomb?
So glad that you are back to your initial format. The 'collaboration series' never worked for me and I found them disorientating and disjointed and that you were merely rushing through mines in order to get the video done. Also, far too many shots of your collaborator's rear end and loss of intelligable dialogue due to muffled mumbling! Anyway, enough of a whinge from me, ...I am really enjoying the great videography, slow pace, great orientation and the explanations of the minerals and mining processes as you encounter them. ...Keep up the great content and as always, stay safe...!
“Gly”: Thanks! I’ve listened to everyone’s input and this is definitely the direction I will be taking the channel. I just think think this pace is much better absorbed by a wider audience.
Dude you are crazy mines scare me never know when there can be a cave in
I recognised that paint can immediately I have one that came with my 1992 Toyota Corolla made in Japan 1992 and not available any more.
Morning Gly, big shout out to your mystery cameraperson. Do miss Cap't Buttcrack though. Another great video as usual. Is it feasible to upload 2 videos per week (drop one on a Wed. also) , it's a lot of extra work but view total would certainly increase? Might snag some more subs as well.
“Gly”: I’m afraid if I pumped them out like that the quality of the production would be lacking. There’s allot of logistics behind documenting these locations well and one per week is already keeping me pretty busy. I’m trying to act retired but this fun little project is quickly turning into a full time job. Not that I’m complaining though, I love where this channel is headed.
Good to be back under ground with ya again. That flare got your blood pumping! Your camera person is doing another fantastic job.Why do the dopey pack rats like those cactus thorns so much?
Wow, that is quite an extensive mine. Good ladders though. Why the heck would someone be touching up the paint on their Toyota all the way down there? Haha!
They were chasing some really nice veins down there weren't they? Looking forward to next week and more of that mine! Thanks, Gly.
“Gly”: The packrats use cactus to defend their homes and surroundings against predators such as snakes or coyotes. My boots look like a pin cushion every time I walk into one of these nests.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Well then I take back the "dopey" remark!
jeepejeep
“Gly”: Naw, no remark is dopey on this channel. I love the comments section but it’s getting harder and harder to keep up with it each week. Sorry if my level of personalization is lacking, it’s certainly not intended.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces There's nothing lacking, Gly. I think we all understand the level of time it takes for you to produce the quality that you give us. No worries, you're going great here!
Gly, you are a master of the cliffhanger
Enjoyed the vid as always! But quite honestly I personally prefer when you are the camera man. Maybe I just do not like change :P
“Gly”: I understand. But in the entertainment business trying to be all things to all people is next to impossible. I was cameraman in some segments of the video.👍
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Totally understand! I am one of few. Just throwing it out there. Keep on doing what you are doing! If you build it they will come :)
Its like watching the TV and having to wait a (week) for the next episode...At 14.07....thought I saw one of those elusive rattlesnakes....turned out to be rope 😂 ( I think a week is a bit wishful thinking 😥)
What a cliff hanger... A week? Argh! =-) At least, unlike TV, I don't need to set the vcr.
This mine so far is quite interesting with a little bit of everything from great color to its somewhat meandering diggings.
Another interesting episode! Can you explain what an air door is for?
“Gly”: Mines are breezy because of the barometric pressure differential between the lower part of the mountain and the higher part of the mountain. Also, a mountain can act as a airplanes wing with lower air pressure on the downwind side of the mountain. Because of all this air moves through mines and can be used to funnel dust away from an area being worked via opening or closing air doors in different parts of the mine. It was cheaper at times than using equipment to force air into a mine with a fan of sorts.
Great Video Gly! Who is your camera person?
In the book 'Death Scenes' there is a photo of two youngsters (from the 1930's) who had found some old dynamite , ''..near one of our dams' -the caption reads. So I suppose there really is a danger of this happening, just like they say. Thank you for another interesting video.

My grandfather got me into exploring mining ghost towns, abandoned mine, and Indian caves at an early age. He passed on when I was 8 years old. I went into his garage and picked out a small "good luck charm" that I carried in my right hand pants pocket. In my mid 20's I was backpacking with a friend who had been in the Army. He saw me fingering my good luck charm and asked to see it. He scraped one end of it and some powder came out. He tasted it then throw my good luck charm in the camp fire... and ran. I didn't know why but when he ran, so did I. There was an explosion and the camp fire was thrown in all directions. It turns out that the good luck charm I had carried in my pants pockets for about 25 years was a blasting cap.
LMAO!!!!
Your "lucky" you kept your leg...and so much more.
Yes, I know. Especially considering that's the same pocket I carry my pocket knife in. Metal knife banging on a metal blasting cap for 25 years.
“Gly”: Yikes! You could have lost something important down there.
Great Video Gly. Who was the back up camera guy.
“Gly”: Well, if ya really gotta know... here is the official statement: 😉
My new camera person is ex CIA, a GLG-20 to be precise. They assisted me back during the Cold War sabotaging SS-50 ICBM launchers in the Pamir Mountains of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic. You’d be amazed with what you can do to the guidance system of one of those things with just a rock! Anyways, if I reveal their identity they told me they would cut off a finger. Be it mine or theirs I don’t want to find out.
Rock n dirt over wood. Good ole weight distribution.
Barium,,, strontium,, alloy ,were are these metals now ,sky high
-First!
Who is doing the camera work, btw?
Last!!
Not me!
“Gly”: The person doing the camera work is the same person who used to be my security in a previous life. 😉
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces You CIA GLY? Use to do explosive work!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Well, tell this person he/she/it is doing a good job!
Abraham
“Gly”: I will!
Have you determined your next partner for exploring mines. I vote for Wonderhussy and a calendar shoot in a mine. That would get your number of subscribers way up!
“Gly”: I agree! Exploring adits and doing a calendar photo shoot of a mine with one... cough... cough...possibly TWO inclined shafts would be fun!
Nice, leave us on a big tease! heh heh heh What is so sparkly in all the rock? My first thought was mica, but sounds like the ore is interesting enough could be a number of things!
“Gly”: Well, I didn’t know what it was when I found it but I do now and you’ll eventually be seeing some of it up on my eBay site in the future.👍
I would love to know what you are using for lighting. But it would be better if you could get a sponsorship before you tell us.
