Not Every Explore Goes As Planned..

- I began this explore in high hopes especially seeing the size of some of the waste rock piles higher up on the mountain. The further along I went, the more disappointed I got and the realization I may not get the underground time I so yearned for. There was some really cool outside infrastructure which definitely made up for it, including an old engine and car chassis as well as a pretty intact ore chute. Being a spontaneous explore as it was I enjoyed just being out in the mountains checking out yet another mine site and its remaining mining history. Hope you guys enjoy!
Nice sharing Vidio...very useful and inspiring ...Excellent God bless you Greetings from a traditional Indonesian gold prospector 🇮🇩💎⚒️⛏️👍👍
I like these solo or the appearance of solo trips. Sometimes your friends distract me. I am easily distracted
I would say scout ahead with a drone to see if the mines are open,but you are probably just like me, it's not the destination, it's the journey,you never know what you will find,only boots on the ground can find,love your videos,always have ,always will😊
you can get guards for your shins that will protect you from rattlesnakes that you may not see. I'm thinking some of those pipes are guides for cables. the old machinery in the days before hydraulic rams used cables to control stuff. the only machine I can think of offhand to demonstrate what I mean would be a 40's era dozer. the back of the dozer has a winch to lift the blade on the front. the cable travels through a pipe from front to back.
I think snake gaiters should be standard ppe for these types of adventures.
Another fine episode. I'm recovering from an auto accident and believe me your video helps a lot.
Thanks
Oh no! Hope you feel better, I'm glad this video helps. Thanks so much for watching
@@WesternMineDetective It really does. When you are laid up like I am and can't move around much. Finding things to watch...
I’m recovering from knee surgery. These cool videos help with too much time
Liking this video, thanks.
When you scramble down those desert canyons , you need to watch out for The Wonderhussy .
That last adit was pretty cool even for a shorter one. Definitely find it more interesting when they branch off several times like that. I've hiked up mountain sides multiple times to see what the next waste rock pile revealed and skunked like this as well lol!
Well I did enjoyed the video. Nevada is one of my favorite states and there are many historic and remote places others would happy if you took them there. Thanks
Great video friend 😊
Thanks for the video. Still interesting. Some climbing ropes (if your proficient with them), a little more gear and a friend for safety might get you into a whole complex through those stopes.
Thank you so much for sharing with us. Great work as always. Take care good buddy
Imagine all the work they done, just to start another hole. Awesome adventures!
Hi I'm face the ace I love explore abandoned places how you doing
You never know what might be there unless you look. Its always worth a look. And the views wrre amazing
I especially enjoy your videos like this one. The solitude must be nice. It's mind blowing to contemplate the sheer amount of back breaking labor that these mines represent.
Hi I'm face the ace I love explore how you doing I will have video soon stay toon👍🏻
The joys and sorrows of mine exploring. Every mine packrat out there has experienced it.
This is super similar to what it's like hunting for anthracite mines out here in Pa. Waste rock piles everywhere and you can see where the portals were but they're either gated or collapsed. It's still nice exploring though. Gotta check them off the list.
Thanks for the cool explorations you do.
This is a adventure that keeps on going glad I tagged along nice to see the artifacts you found along the way 🏆⛏️🤔
Hi :) I just discovered your videos few days ago. I like this concept a lot. It's like enjoying Old West awesome post cards ... Thks for sharing ! I suscribed, of course. Catch you for the next one. Greetings from Paris
Great video! Love the scenery. The mines are cool also.
Bummer on the backfill. No fun there - sorry for the lack of exploring, but the artifacts are great.
Upload twins 2 times in a row!! We on a rollllll
Thanks for looking.
I watch your videos because i dont have the nerve to go down in some of these mines. Awesome videos. Keep it up
Thanks for sharing your adventures. I love watching mine expiration and you are definitely my go to guy for doing what I don't have a balls to do! lol Keep the videos coming
Awesome video I wasn’t disappointed at all the way the rock is looking in this area its more of a conglomerate of fractured stone where some areas could be more loose and prone to cave in very similar to a dangerous mine near my house that had a cave in and death occured.
very good video
It was worth it just for that last view looking out of the final mine. The sun was setting and it was a great shot!
I've never seen a foam-filled portal over here in Australia. They just mainly bulldoze ours shut. I reckon you could dig that top one open
Stay safe and keep up the epic exploring mate.
Still beautiful scenery. Nice explore❤.
thanks for the cool video looking forward to more.thanks for sharing
Plz be very careful around those places Mr. Eastwood , McFly. They're rudimentally fenced off for a reason. we used to go searching in the forests in Leadville and find these vent shafts all over the place. a drunk in the middle of the night without a flashlight was a easy trap. know what i mean bro? Cheers for what you're doing. Plz be safe. positive frequencies. find those levi's
used to drop a rock and never hear the bottom
think about that
Quincy's steak house
Good video thanks 👍
still a real cool time exploring
Hell yeah Alan! Appreciate the view my man, let's hit up the San Gabes together I miss it.
@WesternMineDetective any time man. Let me know. I can show you another lost mine I found
Great mine exploration video even if it did not go as planned. Beautiful scenery and excellent narration. Just to be able to explore the area is awesome as I also love to explore even if I don't find or come across anything substantial. Thanks for sharing
Very old stuff I can’t imagine how someone brought a car engine up there how could it even stay working out there must have been expensive for the time
A couple of questions! When you are in these mines. Do you feel you have to be cautious, some just seem to have small pieces of timber holding up sections. And do you find low level ore that is not worth the effort to mine
Cool video
Do you often go mine exploring alone?
What a shame they have been blocked ..historical sites shouldn't be filled in .
Always a big disappointment when they’re sealed. Thanks for trying! I still watched till the end.
Have you considered snake chaps? I'm curious to know about how many names were in the geocache log you signed in this video:
Hiking to a 1950's CIA Plane Wreck of an SA-16 Albatross

What's interesting in that video are the items that look like they've been sprayed in more recent times with yellow spray paint as if they were tagged as items for removal.
I got a legit question, being born in Gunnison, Colorado and having lived up in Leadville and Placer valley and searched many mines 20 years ago. If they boulder up and foam up a enterance, why would they do that? maybe preserving or hiding something for the future? almost like that scene in that movie with the guy and the thing. Cheers brother. happy hunting.
almost like, hey don't look here, but , look here
jus sayin, but I don't know nothin
BLM (Bureau of Land Management) in California and Nevada, is going around and closing (sealing off) any and all mines that might cause harm. They become aware of these mines by the amount of social media and/or accidents by careless people. Some of the mines are foamed off with stacked rocks or Bat Cages and foam.
i was kind of half smiling to myself, a brave man entering mines on his own, and wearing shorts, i hope no snakes about, i wonder if you carry anti venom in your emergency pack, just in case, i think i'd have a metal cane or something to prod ahead of me, but then i guess the horrible critters can be at any level to you and strike out
have you chatted yet with Brent at Cerro Gordo??
Do you have the gps coordinates of 10:00 mark? I'd like to dig that out....if you want we can do a group effort
What is the purpose of the foam when backfilling?
Just a cheap filler. Wish they would just use the Bat Cages if they are going to seal off a mine.
Great effort!! This one was not as nice scenically as your Washington State vid.😅
Believe you're thinking Mines of the West on that one
Either way, beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
He probably knocked out 30 dudes to get that rare treasure in 2023. Odd he put a painting into it though.
Are you not in the U. S. Navy any more?😢
I am, I'm just able to get out pretty often. That's what weekends are for.
Oh well .........
A lot off advertisements?
BLM beat you to it.....
Looks like the Forest Service or BLM beat you to it
