A Small Mine Exploring First For Me

- As the title proclaims, this is just a small mine exploring clip to show you something that I thought was interesting... Unfortunately, this unusual feature ended up being the most interesting thing about this abandoned zinc mine as the mine is a little too close to a large population center and has, therefore, been vandalized and completely stripped of almost everything of interest (aside from the Joshua Tree support timbers/lagging). Given the proximity to Las Vegas, this mine was once considered for use as a fallout shelter during the height of the Cold War when a number of abandoned mines were surveyed and prepped for use as fallout shelters.
I featured another mine that was part of that program (and go into a lot more detail about the program in the description below the video) here:

Several kind viewers have asked about donating to help cover some of the many expenses associated with exploring these abandoned mines. Inspired by their generosity, I set up a Patreon account. So, if anyone would care to chip in, I’m under TVR Exploring on Patreon.
Thanks for watching!

Growing up in California’s “Gold Rush Country” made it easy to take all of the history around us for granted. However, abandoned mine sites have a lot working against them - nature, vandals, scrappers and various government agencies… The old prospectors and miners that used to roam our lonely mountains and toil away deep underground are disappearing quickly as well.
These losses finally caught our attention and we felt compelled to make an effort to document as many of the ghost towns and abandoned mines that we could before that colorful niche of our history is gone forever.
I hope you’ll join us on these adventures!

I don’t understand the mindset to burn everything and shoot everything at a mine site.
It's just the nature of the types we should make live on islands😂
And spray paint
It coincides with the Very Same Individuals who Shoe Size and IQ Share the Same Number!!! 🤠👍
Some people are very stupid.
Definitely unique .. I watch a few mine exploring channels and have never seen thay before.
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Bonus video this week. Sweet!
Now obviously after having viewed countless videos and physically being to/in “abandoned” old mines within the southwest region of the US of A over the decades, they’re generally way dryer than most others worldwide, preserving for the most part, whatever wood timbers, beams &/or, rough cut tree stocks remain, especially inside of mines themselves but nonetheless, it is quite fascinating to see how preserved them Joshua Trees are still.. as if chopped down for mine use within one decade. Bizarre is all… keep up the good work and I’ll be here for your next upload TO LIKE 👍🏻!! Thank You!
On a completely and unrelated tangent I used to live in Joshua Texas!!! 😆😃👍
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Definitely a bit different , from the norm , interesting indeed !
Hi Justin, I wonder how hard it was to carry the trees and put them in place as they look spiky.
Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
Thanks for sharing about this unusualality
Cool Video! Thanks for sharing!
hell, it was over before i had my first sip of mine exploring beer....i last longer than that with the missus
Very interesting 😊😊😊
Yours Frank Galetzka
certain trees have more "status" in the UK too so I am wondering if there is something particular about Joshua trees apart from the City name and being a U2 album
Interesting use of a furry tree though
thanks for sharing
Zinc mine?
Maybe fluorescence under long or short UV light, but those lights can be 250$ plus for a decent portable.
But that'd be something the rockhounds would like to see, and likely not able to be captured on camera well due to how modern cameras work.
(UV and infrared light will make the image CCD skew the image)
Hi Justin. I gather maybe you were exploring the U2 mine? 😉
Ha, yes, I should have had "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" softly playing in the background...
Wow that mine kinda resembles an anthracite mine a bit..very cool brother!
Yoooo. I found you on here Tommy....
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories haha hey Jude!
Two of the anthracite guys in the same spot lol.TVR is my fave hard rock guy.
Are Joshua trees rare, or do they take a long time to grow?
Why are they special?
theyre critically endangered.
at the time period that mines likely from they weren't but they're heavily effected by wildfires and climate change. they're also a species of plant that relies on other animals to help spread so if the population of the plant becomes to dense during a wildfire it'll wipe out entire regions of the plant and takes years for it to come back.
Have you considered moving to Rumble or another platform so I candu p RUclips and keep getting your great videos?
Thank you. Yes, I have and I appreciate their support of free speech (which RUclips does not). However, I only have so much time and have chosen to remain focused on where my biggest audience is for now. I appreciate the nudge toward Rumble (or the equivalent) as it helps motivate me to start building that up.
Nice find, guess you need strong gloves too deal with that wood, never seen it by the way.
Kind of neet. Now I have to listen to u2.
