Abandoned Underground Fallout Shelter - Exploring The Girard Mine
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- We're back once again in Tombstone, AZ in the famous Girard Mine. In this installment, we explore a maze of drifts, stopes, and sub-levels hidden beneath the streets of the town. One of the more significant features of the Girard Mine is a partially intact fallout shelter supply cache from the Cold War era. Boxes and boxes of 'survival biscuits' fill a dead-end tunnel several hundred feet below the surface. I guess we wouldn't go hungry if we were trapped underground...
The mines below Tombstone are well-preserved, so the fallout shelter was not the only interesting feature in this exploration. I hope you enjoy!

Malted milk was first made in the mid 1800s by British food manufacturers brothers James and William Horlick. It was sold as a nutritional supplement marketed for “infants and invalids.” It is made from malted barley, wheat flour, and evaporated whole milk. It was often sold in "slabs" rather than the handy powder we have now. Malted Milk was used to make Biscuits and Malted Milk Balls. "Sliced" meant the slabs were cut into smaller easier to handle chunks.
Cool finding the fallout shelter stuff in there. During the Cold War they would make us watch films on that to do "when" (not if) Russia dropped Atomic Bombs on us. You can find one of them on youtube if you search for "Duck and Cover". They made us do monthly drills where we would make sure all the windows were closed, pull the thick classroom curtains closed, then hide under our desks. We did that till about the middle of 1969.
This is the type of gold mine from a move or a theme park. Very cool.
That Anvil was a stamp die. For a stamp Mill. You have the shoe which is on the boss which is connected to the stem then you have the tablet so this s cam can rotate. The die sits in the motor box. So that's part of the stamp Mill pretty cool. I have a couple of them and I never ever thought of using them for an anvil
Our 1960's college buildlng had a CD shelter in the basement. Being poor students, we raided it for the "biscuits" (crackers). With jam on top they weren't bad. In the 1980's we found a shelter in an abandoned Mojave Desert mine. A water drum is my office trash can, After they were empty, BTW, the drums became toilets using large plastic storage bags and toilet seats. I still have a full carton of canned biscuits. The mine entrance was closed in 2003.
This mine is freakin' awesome! I am more amazed with each video in the series.....THANK YOU!
Hi Graham, amazing all of those emergency rations are still there, a pretty cool and unique find.
This mine is definitely the one that keeps on giving though with all of the artefacts and ore carts etc.
Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💞
Thanks for watching as always!
An Oreo car still working in a abandoned mine is worth way more to me than pooped in old jeans, love the video!
I remember, those days in 1963. It was terrible, frightening. Was only 11 years old , but I remember. Thanks from.St. Paul Minnesota.
Awesome, episode!
dude i could totally see one of those water drums being in a pawn stars episode lol
Yeah I could see that, thanks for watching!
Should have checked out the boxes with the crescent moon symbol, those were C rations, would be interesting to see what meals were stored there, way things are going right now they may be handy now. 😉😉🤔
The moon looked familiar to me too. Look up online "humanitarian daily rations" box/cases. I think they are still made by Sopakco. Probably shipping a lot of them over to Ukraine right about now.
@@nefariumxxx 💙💛💙💛👍👍
Very cool😀
I've the jeans comment, someone will pay a million dollars for pants,fml,but I enjoy seeing mining artifacts,priceless,love ya guys!
Forgot, pasty malted milk, is a barley flower, you can make sliced bread or malted cake, if I'm wrong I'll be corrected shortly.
Gotcha, thanks!
I have seen this key before you are not the only one to document it but that's okay hey it's still cool right
My research shows me that the work pants you found are worth about $175. to $5,000, maybe more....for real....dollars. The work pants were made about 1905-1906. being cut off matters not.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Looks like someone already took the morphine out of the CD stores!
Super neat! Those rations will soon come in handy with let’s go Brandon driving this bus.
I saw someone taste those crackers in one of the other mine explore videos and they were still edible if you are hungry enough - but stale, of course.
I’m not surprised! This kind of stuff lasts a while! Thank you for watching my friend!
Theres a guy eats that sort of food on you tube from WW2 as well as Vietnam and Korean wars. He'd probably try all that stuff 🤔
@@cyberleaderandy1 yes, he even went older than that with some civil war hard tack crackers or something. He's a funny guy. I hope he doesn't get botulism someday. Said he got ecoli from some modern Ukrainian rations before. Sketchy to mess around with some of the rusty cans, etc. His channel is Steve1989MREInfo.
How would they vent the exhaust/smoke/fumes from the blacksmith shop, being that it's underground?
Your flood lights were a bit much. You could also use some more "throw" to see further out.
Good thing Frank and Sharon weren't there or it would all be gone.
I predict he eventually gets caught plundering artifacts from mines, because in Canada they have laws to protect these historic sites, just like we do in the United States. It's a federal offense in the United States to remove artifacts from mines on public land.

Mark that place on the map. With the way Putin is going, a fallout shelter may be needed! The only trouble is, you'd need to stay below ground through the "Nuclear Winter".
He won't do nukes, because he knows all too well that we have 14 Ohio class subs lurking under the waves. Each one carries 24 trident missiles ready to launch within 90 feet of the surface of water. Each missile carries 8 independent MIRV warheads. He does not want to see Moscow and St. Petersburg reduced to ashes. At this point, his military leaders would probably refuse to launch anyway. They don't trust him anymore. Sometimes people forget about our submarines but they are always vigilant - watching and waiting.
Shit is probably still good to eat LOL
