- In this video we go mine exploring in Colorado to this mine that has been on my list for the past few years but with new exploring equipment I was finally able to explore this abandoned mine.
If you know of any open mines in colorado that you would like me to explore send me a message on facebook or if you have any other questions it also lets you stay more up to date on my channel

I've been in there. Explored most of it besides the branching tunnels
It’s defiantly a cool mine! Saw your video of it!
Way cool! Loving your intro.
This is your best video yet! Very well done! The filming, the narration, the lighting, and just about everything else about the video was great! Also liked the intro. Good to see you in a flooded mine for a change! Like me, you probably don’t get into too many flooded mines, but I would think that there are many more flooded mines up there in Colorado than there are down here in the deserts.Those round formations you show on the tunnel floor next to the ore cart rail are some kind of rare mineral growths that a lot of people don’t get to see. But don’t quote me on that. I think they’re called “cave pearls“ or something like that. That might be incorrect, though. I remember reading that they are kind of rare. Yes, if you’re going to explore wet mines like that, you should get one of those BW Clip hydrogen sulfide gas detectors as well. I think they run about the same price as the oxygen meter, but it might be a little bit cheaper. Looks like there was a winze at that one spot under all that rotten timber. I wonder how deep it goes? Might be full of water since the main haulage tunnel was flooded. Looking forward to your next video!
Thanks for watching I always appreciate the support! My next video should be out soon!
Nice exploration, but please slow down a bit on the camera turning.
Thanks for the feedback I will work on that next time I record, thanks for watching!
Hi David! Just subscribed! Well done. Thank you for the nice vids.
Can you recommend a good mine database for finding mines to explore? I’m headed west soon and am looking for some good explores.
Thanks again and take care!
Check out the website westernmininghistory.com. Mines are grouped according to state and then by county. Coordinates are given so you can plot them onto a topographic map and into Google Earth to see what kind of terrain you are getting yourself into. Some of the larger mines in the database will have descriptions of the workings and how much ore was produced and when they were in operation and things like that. Hope this info helps!
Thanks for subscribing! The like below is a good place also a topographic map.
