Lost Worlds Project: A Grand Finale
This is almost certainly our last video on this epic mine complex. That’s a bittersweet feeling after several years and many visits of mine exploring on this one as we would love to have continued pushing deeper underground. However, at the same time, there is a certain satisfaction in completing such an ambitious project in this this incredible abandoned mine.
Graham of the Mines of the West channel was with us on every one of these expeditions and this final one was no exception. Check out his video of the visit here: ruclips.net/video/qcSFAIQAAiE/видео.html Everyone has different takes on the same event and I think it is interesting to see how these look. We’re also doing an experiment ...

Pushing Into Unexplored Areas Of A Large Abandoned Mine Complex - Final
Просмотров 14 тыс.Месяц назад
Well, we ran this one out as much as we could… It was our hope to be able to connect to some of the other large mines in the district as the old maps show the entire complex of mines connecting underground. However, all of the connections were regrettably caved. Nevertheless, this unexplored section of the mine was quite enjoyable and to obtain the footage that you saw in this series required a...

In this video, we run out this great, unexplored level and start on the next level down, which turned out to be just as rewarding… The unexplored section of this mine definitely earned it a spot on my “Favorite Abandoned Mines” list. Given how damp and humid this mine was, I am very grateful that so many artifacts were preserved as well as they were. Most of the wood was a mess, but metal, pape...

What you can see in this video of this abandoned mine should make it pretty clear why we love these unexplored mines so much… Aside from the majesty of seeing something that no other living human being has laid eyes upon, it is amazing to have the “time machine experience” of seeing everything exactly as it was when the last miner walked away a century or more ago. It is fascinating to see what...

This abandoned mine dates back to the 1800s and silver, lead, copper and zinc ore was pulled out of this complex of mines... Several large, abandoned mines connect underground at this site, but the others are totally inaccessible from the surface. The mine we entered from will likely not be accessible for much longer either. We knew that the lower levels of the mine that we entered from were un...
Deep Dive On The Biggest Gold Mine In This Area - Part 2 of 2

Every report that we read stated that this gold mine had closed down and been abandoned in the early 1900s and that this bottom level was simply a drain adit that connected to the main shaft after running straight in for approximately one thousand feet. Our intent was to follow the drain tunnel to the shaft and see if we could come up the shaft from the bottom (the mine shaft was inclined rathe...

This is an abandoned gold mine that I have known about for many years due to its size and historical significance. However, it was an early one, with peak production in the 1800s and it had ceased operation not too far into the twentieth century. Many mines that shut down that long ago have only very limited and vague location information. One must follow clues in old reports and then get boots...

It was not our intention at the start, but we spent our entire day exploring the gold mine that hollowed out this mountain, wrapping our way down and around it… The lyrics for “She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain” came to mind on many an occasion!

An Unexpectedly Rich Mine Exploring Area

When we’re driven out of the highest reaches of the Sierra Nevadas by snow, we must normally content ourselves with international trips or desert trips (the odd winter trip to Alaska notwithstanding)… However, we recently started looking into an area in the lower parts of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Feather River Canyon. We have flirted with the Feather River Canyon in the past (and act...
Unbelievable Location For Gold Mine In The Alaska Wilderness

The incredible location of this mine in the pit (I would just love to see historical photos of the network of platforms and trestles that supported the gold mining operation) with the river smashing through the workings at the bottom distracted me from the mine itself. However, the abandoned gold mine was pretty incredible in its own right, even without its location taken into account… Come on,...
Journey Through Abandoned Mountain Mine & Mining Camp

This area had burned over a year or two prior to our visit. That made the hike in to the abandoned mine easier as much of the brush had been cleared out. However, the fire also deleted any remaining structures right around the mine, which is unfortunate. Given what was still intact of that aerial tramway, there must have been a good amount of infrastructure present at one time to support it. An...

There’s a certain exotic appeal to working in the snow when the first storm of the season hits. That “appeal” wears off after a few minutes when the cold starts biting into you and the wind starts whipping through your always-damp clothing. I often say that the temperature is the same 55 degrees(ish) underground wherever you are in the world. Well, there’s an element in play here at this gold m...

This is an old mine. You can tell by the nature of the surface and underground workings as well as by the artifacts and infrastructure left behind… The mine changed hands and was abandoned so many times that it is almost impossible to properly trace the history of it (the name has been changed countless times). Some of the USGS records, suggest that antimony and tungsten were mined here, but th...

    In the 80's I had a gold location North of Coldfoot Alaska. I met a gentleman named Joe Taylor. He claimed to hold a gold location called 16 to 1. Do you know of such a gentleman who may have been involved with this mine? Any information would help. I gave them permission to sample my gold location. He had a partner but I do not remember his name.

    Yea the wooden oar cart is definetly a cool artifact to stumble on to. It makes a guy wonder just how much longer it will last. The moisture is definitely taking it toll on the wood, someone should take a gallon or two of some used motor oil or something and give it a soaking of oil to try and preserve the wood. If it has been there since1890 that would make it 130+ years old... I wonder what it will look like in another century 100 years from now. If the wood isn't preserved it will most likely be all rotted away to nothing, with only the carcass of an old rusty frame oar cart from yesteryear. Cool video tho. It makes a guy wonder how the old timers got all that heavy equipment up that mountain back before they had any heavy equipment. I reckon good old donkey power ehh? And a bunch of double tuff sons of bitches. It makes me wonder... how did them old timers even know there was copper in that mountain?, in such a remote, untraveled, and untamed wilderness. Judging by the pictures of your hike in there, it looks like pretty thick brush them old timers had to negotiate. I reckon they must of found some sort of green stones like malachite down below in the stream beds and followed it up to the source. But in the 1890's that would of been the beginning of electrification into homes that prior to then used gas lamps. Thomas Edison's new invention was around 1880, so a decade later all of a sudden there was a huge demand for copper. Cool video 👍👍⚡️

    nice job Editing the footage to show a random mill then the real mine at a different location. Its good because you can line up the mountain range from the portal and also see the valley beneath it. Have you hiked to the top of the ridge by the open stopes? The compressor in the thumbnail was flipped upside down in the editing process. And drms has already come in and got the whole mountain there's just a way through. glad you did a video on it. Should come exploring with us to some stuff in CO that would make you faint.

    On the note of the Du Pont crate found at the portal; I grew up next to the plant in Louviers Colorado (I still go there to this day). They made det cord there up until around 1990. Fond memories of my house shaking them id run to the window to see big plumes of dirt go up into the air when they would test batches of cord. On a side note, there was a sign at entrance to the little town of Louviers that said HELLSVILLE due to how often workers at the plant would get killed in mishaps.

    🇬🇧 This is amazing .. ! As a long time amateur mineralogy Fanatic, I'd give my eye teeth to be down there searching through all the rock & stones I've been down some British mines Mainly Coal but other much older mines from 500yrs ago. I've found some amazing fossils too. Brilliant stones & minerals but only took some small samples to test. I noticed in the last episode you found a tin of what once contained Baking Powder. Well, I've heard from old miners from Australia that they used to make Damper Bread, down in the mine, for fresh warm bread. It's like Soda Bread & onion was sometimes added, only flour & some lard was needed & baking powder. The bread was cooked on a metal plate or shovel over a small ember fire I've actually tasted this Damper Bread + it's pretty good! At least I enjoyed it. I'm sure the hard grafting miners appreciated it on break time. Talking of Beer, a good splash of beer in your Damper Bread mix made it even better! Id be in heaven down here, with all these rocks & minerals, also the geological striations in the rock walls & ceilings! Thank you for an excellent video Peace, Good Cheer & Safety. 🇬🇧🙆

    Now that's freaking awesome. Okay now if you think about it why would they have just the truck frame with the motor, the transmission and possibly the drive shaft? Think about it. They either used it for drilling or for bringing up the old carts or but yeah so think about it cuz a lot of old-time miners that used to use all of the old old model t's so it would make it easier for the guys to work.

    I’m a UK hard-core addict of your channel - and many others - mostly on US Hardrock mining. Comparing what we see here in this Italian mine highlights the difference between let’s say Western European culture and values compared to say the US. It suggests there is a lot more respect and value shown towards heritage and historical culture - such that things don’t get stolen or removed (like the ore cars - although getting them down from that mountain location would not have been easy 😂). Also a much more ‘grown up’ and common sense attitude to personal freedom; without the need to bar up mine portals like the BLM seem to do! Mind you, with Italy being in the EU, I’m sure all that red tape regarding freedoms and health and safety rubbish will soon catch up! The world is going nuts as a new world order is forming - soon we all all be living in autocratic “police states” when even our thinking will be monitored and controlled ! Great explore Justin !
