The Richinbar Mine was the location of one of Arizona's largest high grade gold deposits with veins of gold as "wide as a mans thumb". In this episode I explore the ruins and try to find a way in to this historic mine.

Abandoned & Forgotten Places
Documenting abandoned mines like never before!
Let's take abandoned mine exploring to the next level!
With your support you can help make this the best abandoned mine exploring channel on RUclips!
Shot entirely in 4K! ...so, turn up those video settings!
On this channel we go deep... REALLY DEEP into abandoned mines and tunnels all throughout the western United States. We researched some of the harder to find mines and hiked or 4x4 back into them to explore and reveal their hidden secrets. Many of these remote locations are filled with cool artifacts, antiques and unique geology that will have you guessing as to why the old prospectors worked so hard to find gold, silver, and other minerals.
A&FP moves just a bit slower as compared to other mine exploring channels. Gly discusses why the miners chose these sites and he points out the geology and minerals that got them excited. Veins of quartz filled with gold and silver made many men lose sleep in the 1800’s and early 1900’s and modern prospecting still does to this very day.
DANGERS? Oh yes, there’s allot of dangers associated with old mines. Un-exploded dynamite, blasting caps, bad air, bats, spiders, and snakes all find their home in abandoned mine shafts and tunnels. Oh, and let’s not forget rotting timbers, flooded passages and collapsing rock!
Gly takes abandoned mine exploring seriously with all the proper safety equipment, training, and experience necessary to do this activity as safe as possible but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun along the way. “Gly”, your host and his band of crazy characters “Old Bob” (Gly’s Jeep), “Quackers” (Gly’s duck) and “Bobbie” (Gly’s hula girl) are sure to brighten your day with their comments and silly antics. Heck, they may even give you a chuckle or two.
Just like Saturday morning cartoons before the internet was invented, Abandoned and Forgotten Places uploads each Saturday at 7:00AM PST. (that’s 10:00AM for you eastern folks) so don’t forget to click that subscribe button and bell icon to receive notifications of new episodes!
Please LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT! All these things help grow our channel and your financial support helps us find new locations and helps put fuel into “Old Bobs” tank. Old Bob, thanks you!

Talking about thermals in the desert.... in the 1970's I was a navigator instructor assigned to the Training Wing at Mather AFB in Sacramento, CA. We flew T-43s which were USAF versions of a Boeing 737-200. One of the missions we flew was radar low levels mostly flown on OB-400 an approved low level route that went down the Bryce Canyon. Missions had to be finished before 9 AM in the winter and 8 AM in the summer of the thermals were so bad they would throw us around like a rag doll.
Gly,
I don't care what anyone may say or think, "I" happen to *ADORE* your aerial/drone views! It really shows the amazing terrain/scenery, and THEN lets you/us focus down and into individual mines.
'Perspective' in a very unique and enjoyable manner, what's NOT to love/appreciate?!
Yay Mom!! You raised a great son!
Here in WV. We have roads and houses collapsing into old abandoned mines. Supposedly they didn’t know how to survey under ground in the 1800’s. Our state doesn’t no where all the old mines are. A lot were mom and pop mines.
Nice job and very interesting stay safe
I'm glad you got the chance to record some of my ancestors artwork on stone. That would have been someone's post on their version of a Facebook wall. P.s. To all the drone haters, go fly a kite!! 😎
Thank you for sharing This mine site had a Wow factor to it. Stay Safe
Great one! Arizona is my second home. Lived there off and on and had family. Nice variety of things to see. Thanks Gly!
Spectacular scenery when the video started. Loved the drone footage with the narration about the history of the mine. Cool petroglyphs as well. Thanks, Gly.
I'm still amazed at how far/fast technology is advancing the art of photography!
Being able to, as an individual, purchase and use/enjoy these nifty aerial devices is just so incredible to my old mind!
Drones were an awesome invention.
I'll be darned, look at that river gorge running thru that area. Very scenic. That whole area of land for miles seem s to be basaltic. (wonder where the magma came from??? or was the area an upthrust over eons? Geology & strata is so interesting. Going on your "recons" with you, one/you get to see alot of land contours. (lucky you), lucky us, that you filmed this area. Seen other workings (holes, pits) along the slopes of the hills as you droned thru. What is that all about? And petroglphs too! Bonanza!
Isn't creation so beautiful, mysterious, and sometimes very breath taking.
I love your history telling before exploring mines like this. Both the fact that you do it, and the way you tell it.
Both the fast that you do it? What the hell does that mean
@@MR.AIRWALK 'fact', thanks for the catch. fixed.
Talk about a bird's-eye view! Love your drone footage of landscape like this. Thanks for the work you do to make these remarkable locations visible and enjoyable for many others.
Love that drone footage!!
It's always a delightful surprise to bump into a nice person in the middle of nowhere, isn't it. I'm sure that you've also bumped into several of my fellow geocachers on your adventures. So many historic places to explore!
Best way to start a video, with a drone....Well done Gly............The Scenery is Spectacular.....Was that Lady out there alone?...WOW.......Great Video...Thanks......JB....
You are getting pretty good at this videography thing Gly, love the newest styling and intro....⛏⚒⛏ Keep um Coming, howdy Bob.🛺👍
Hi Gly watching this having a coffee with breaky in Australia with my little dog . Your drone work is just awesome . This site has an ora of age to it . Your recons are so enjoyable and gives us a full perspective of what goes into making a future unground episode, that always ends up an adventure for all to enjoy . Great job well done . Best Wish always from Australia down under
Thank you Gly for the great aerial viewing of Black Canyon. This site is about 50 miles from my area and i never knew about it.
The drone footage of that scenery was really good. Thanks for the good recon video. I'll be looking forward to you roping in on this site.
Love the drone footage.They are the coolest part of today's technology..
Thank you for the historical aspect added to you video…you wetted our appetite -gave body to the telling
Don’t let those drown haters get under your skin, personally, I enjoy watching them, it gives a awesome view of that beautiful landscape, keep up the amazing work! I’ve been seeing your work since episode 30 something, when you started with that intro when you would scratch your butt! Haha! Your friend, Radar from Edinburg Texas.
Beautiful view from above looking out across gods country. Thanks gly for allowing us to take in all the beauty with you.
Wow that will sure be a great explore! And fancy that - meeting Nicky (a ‘Laura 2’) type 😊. 🚢🇬🇧🚂⛏
Good morning from New Jersey. Omg the scenery, I wish I was there. Nice music too. Love this history, thank you!!❤️

@Gly .. Great job as always. Drone footage really good and as for dates ... maybe you found one @24:17 LOL!!
That is a beautiful area with a lot of canyons. neat petroglyphs on the rocks, It is sad what happened to the bird due to the barbed wire that had fallen over the opening of the pit. Looked like a nice day to be out exploring and reconning the area. Thank you for introducing the other explorer that you meet out there. Keep having fun on all the explores and discoveries we all love the drone work, and the up-close personnel camera work you do.
I love your videos. Thank you! One thing I sincerely enjoy is the history behind the mines. Very few do that. Jeff Williams and you give us some background and history plus some geology of each site.
I'm less than a minute in and already enjoying this. Your intros are the best
That hole reminded me of the old days with Mr M and the snozalater 5000.
Great show, and OUTSTANDING drone work! Interesting about the petroglyphs. I've found them in places in Nevada you would Never expect to find them.
Been watching your vids for a couple years now! This is probably your best to date ! Thanks for all the awesome work you do to bring us into your world!
Gly. Again love your intro with the Drone work and History with pictures of what was in the past and now today!! One can see the same profiles and foundations of buildings left from the past!
Telling the history of these places is amazing. I truly appreciate the way you document and explore on your channel. Keep up the amazing stuff you do.
Stunning drone scenery and interesting facts....I always enjoy your intros before you explore. Thank you for your time and work giving us these videos. I am sitting looking out at light snow and minus temps....a far cry from your environment!!! Cheers!!!!😃
I really like the Arial tours. This one was great. Thanks Gly!
Fascinating history, spectacular views. Can't wait to see the underground workings. Thanks for taking us along!
Beautiful entro. Loss of life is so sad. That was a very rich ore mine, veins of gold in quartz a thumbs width, wow. Be very careful walking around those edges. Running into like minded folk, so cool. Cool glyphs, old old ones, indigenous people.
Interesting mine looking forward to you and Laura exploring that soon,great video❤
Great video adventure, Gly. ThanksL
Good looking country
Gly, here is the gist of today's video. First the mind goes then the mines go soon after. Jus playin...You're the man and you have lots of good years left. Be safe out there my mighty mine man! ⛏
100% awesomeness and beauty. Thanks for the ride.
Awesome Recon of this mine and site , can’t wait to get into this one. Also the history and the petroglyphs were awesome.
As always be safe out there . See you next weekend. 👍🏻🙂
Love your drone work. Beautiful!
@AFP Hey Gly, do you think that yer Mom was thinking about "Glyphs" when she named you "Gly"? ;-) PS, what does Gly mean anyways? Yer Mom is super cool for lovin' Glyphs, Hi Mom! Still loving the Drone shots Gly! Keep up the great work and stay safe as one can. Bob.
Since you have now come to basically central AZ. You should look into the Martinez mine complex near Superior. There are 2 cabins left and 3 mines of the complex available to explore.
Gly Im a petroglypg nut case and I have never seen your Petroglyphs before , dont discount yourself so much unless it just makes you feel good . your breaking records a and broadening horizons . a great epic video as always
Fantastic episode Gly, I really enjoyed seeing how the silt had hardened and was left behind when the tank was removed. But wow the Dam was just awesome I've never seen anything like that before. I wonder how hard that material is? Does it form back into rock or is it kind of crumbly? Oh, and the petraglyphs were so cool. I can't help wonder what sort of lives the "Artists" had all those thousands of years ago. Sorry to ramble on but thanks so much Gly. A great video 🎉❤🎉
Thanks Gly, great as usual.
Great vid Gly, thanks for the knowledge
Fab mate. love it.👍
Gly, right at 22:00, in the foreground, and to the bottom, is that water visible all the way down? It sure would be easier to tell from here if there was a bit more light!
Stay safe,
Peace
Terrifick presentation! More great drone work and the great photos of the mine in it's hey day were wonderful. Great trip today Gly, Thanks!
Epic drone entry/intro
Love the old petroglyphs.
Beautiful area with all the canyons.
Spectacular views.
Top of the world Maw
Fabulous drone vision ..love it
Cheers from Australia 🦘
Great spot Gly, I’ve visited this spot but haven’t gone down into the mine itself but did see the petroglyphs. I wonder if you can get access to Maggie Mine?? I never asked the owner as it’s private patented claim and you can see the portal from the road, Which my claim is literally right around the corner from Maggie. You should be able to see the beginings of the portal that went in 5 or 6 ft that I started 3 yrs ago on the horseshoe but it has collapsed after this past winters rains. I have videos of it on my other YT channel aka wygold’s metal detecting adventures. Most of what I’m mining on the claim is spoils that the 80’s operation left behind. Theres another mine off of Coldwater Rd & 17 across from Chileans and the adit is accessible by driving up to it. Thing is idk what they were mining and couldn’t find any reports except that it was done in the 40’s-50’s and where all that tailings came from that sits on the side of the hill above from the adit and maybe theres an incline shaft but couldn’t locate it on the surface. If your dining on the outdoor patio at chileans you’ll be able to see the tailings directly north across from the parking lot.
If you do check out that spot on coldwater rd & 17 that I mentioned be careful visiting it. Last time I was there was in May of 2023 someone had took up the adit as their residence but they should have been chased out by now as it sit’s inside the boundaries of the Aqua Fria National Monument.
Gly great drone footage, very exited for the next episodes coming up.
Does this remind you of the Kivas in Pueblo Colorado and the 4 corners area ? I say the Kivas are ancient Gold mining sites leaving the Exact same structures you see here only better preserved it appears . I was on the fence before watching this video but while watching I screamed EUREKA I found it . Thank You Gly so much for helping me figure things out , no need to believe me I will be working on more proof.
Gly, walked past a turtle with shell made from rocks in the petrograph area. John from Maine.
Another interesting video Gly. If there wasn’t open pit mining, wouldn’t a lot of these mine’s still be in operation?
Actually Gly the camera did do it justice , epic shots amazing finds . All parr for the course with a stepper like you you Gly Dog you
Glad to see you in my county! Beware anything in Codes after dark tho lol
There is another mine, the Brooklyn mine not too far away you should do a recon adventure. Includes a damn, plus some of what you saw and more.
I wonder how many tons of gold and other precious minerals have been washed downstream millions of years ago in that canyon.
Nikki as a back up 😂 seems nice
Gly, I know this area very well , there are a ton petroglyphs further to the east. Also another mine I haven’t been to but have seen on google also further east.
Love your show! Your new partner, Laura, is ok. But I miss Mr. M.
Just donated because your drone skills are great, your info is wonderful, the history, the geology and the anthropology of it all is good stuff! Always enjoy your efforts and your crazy for the way you go deep into these! Ugh snakes...but I just overnighted in Cyclopic and roamed allover - no snakes and 70 degrees! Kept expecting a pants leg strike (snake boots on)...luckily never came! 🤷♂. But nice video again!
...👍🏾🙏👍🏾✨✨✨I will be waiting for that so Goodbye Bob✨✨✨👍🏾🙏👍🏾...
Thanks for the video, really enjoyed the high quality drone footage. I was wondering how far away from you does the drone go. Looking forward to the next video best wishes from Mike🇬🇧
Nice recon. Too much drone IMO. I know some really enjoy it. I hear frank retired. Might be time to focus underground, I know it’s hard. Good luck, only the best but I’d say dive in my friend.
Great Intro
How about doing a video on drones ? Maybe explain why you bought what you bought and what to look for in a drone .
nice!! Thanks bud...🎸🎸
Enough of the drone JUST KIDDING. :-) Thanks for the history lesson. If you have easy pickings, please include info like you did for this one. Thanks
How is it this has over a thousand likes? Crazy. Oh well…. Time to enjoy Glys work.
So if the miner had died in the explosion in the shaft, and he was buried on top of the mountain is there a marker for him and was it recorded with the county for this area?
The pillar that looked like a chimney, is the marker of the miner who died.
So, I take it that he is still buried there, and BLM did not have him removed from the mining site then?@@joanschooler3446
Muy buen video! Magnifico saludos
This was a great video, Gly. Love the drone footage at the beginning. Also, what's the music during the drone footage. Keep up the great work!👍
Good morning from Syracuse NY brother
Hey that would look cool in my back yard!!
Did you get some pie at Rock Springs?
27:44. While you are showing us the petroglyphs, I am seeing a fish head sticking out of “rock” looking at sky.
There are those folks who see structures of things in cloud formation also. (its a good talent to have "imagination".
Hello Gly, I hope you get to read this comment. First thing I noticed while you were walking to the PETRO-GLY-PHS, there was a sign post indicating it was a NATIONAL HERITAGE SITE, the first PETRO-GLY-PH, you showed on camera, you said you did not see the image, I think I saw a NATIVE AMERICAN CHIEF, in full HEADDRESS, HOLDING/SMOKING A PIPE". The next information I took from the video, was the comment about the ease of extracting the ore, this might be the reason the Native Americans were at this location. The next thing I noticed was during the DRONE FLIGHT of the surrounding countryside, The highway in the background, on the level terrain, then the GORGES cut by water at the mine location. My thoughts were instant, "ONE COULD TRAVEL ACROSS COUNTRY, AND COMPLETELY MISS THE GORGES JUST A MILE AWAY FROM THEM." This got me thinking about the location of this mine, and "THE LOST DUTCHMAN MINE" story.
So, I watched more videos on the 'LOST DUTCHMAN MINE' and came to these conclusions: 1) the DUTCHMAN, was not DUTCH, he was GERMAN, (ICH BIN DEUTSCHE- =I AM GERMAN, SO, IT REALLY SHOULD BE REFERRED TO "THE LOST GERMAN'S MINE" for reference sake, if he referred to himself as DUTCH, he would have said "IK BEN NEDERLANDS" (I AM DUTCH). FURTHERMORE, the location of the "LOST DEUTSCHE MINE" was north of PHOENIX, AZ. This location you are at is about 45 miles north and about 30 miles north of the trail between FORT McDOWELL and WIKENBERG, IT IS MY BELIEF, THAT YOU HAVE SHOWN THE WORLD "THE LOST DEUTSCHER MANN MINE" because of the ease of extracting the gold, the amount of gold recovered from the mine, and the petro-GLY-phs, at the location.
“Gly”: There’s allot more history regarding the Richinbar Mine on the internet, I only put together a small portion of what took place out there but there’s much much more.
Thanks Gly, I found a lot of information on the LOST DUTCH MAN MINE, and will search the "RICHINBAR MINE HISTORY" I want to clarify why I separated the word petro-gly-phs, so the pronunciation now is petro-gly-phs as in "IF" SO, I THINK IT SHOULD BE "PETRO-GLY-PHS - AS IN "EYE, or AYE"
Thank you for your dedication to produce these videos, It amazes me how hard these miners worked extracting the precious metals from the rocks. I, myself worked in a potash mine, (hard rock miners called us "WUSSES" BECAUSE WE USE MINING MACHINERY TO EXTRACT THE POTASH ORE) as compared to DRILL AND BLAST METHOD, I THINK THE OLD TIMERS WOULD CALL this generation of hard rock miners "WUSSES!" also, compared the working conditions they endured as shown in your videos.
Am I having a senior moment or is this a rerun?
forgot to tell ya last week enjoy the Bradshaws so much history soooooooo many mines ive got stories for days
Always wonder why some people have such a small life that they have the time and money to spend their time going around spray-painting and defacing just about everything around them. These vandals are definitely on the bottom of the human barrel. These lowlifes even scrawled their usual gibberish on our trash cans here in my city! Now that's off my chest so let's explore the mine! PS: Love the drone footage too!
Thanks!
“Gly”: Thank you!
That forgetting what you are saying progressively gets worse as you get older
I think you are right there; now what where we talking about?
Really enjoy your videos and narration of things around there as well as the history..
I can’t get out about anymore so I live vicariously thru your videos!!
Question though, what kind of a drone do you use?
Again. Thankyou for your videos!!
“Gly”: I’m happy you’re enjoying the channel! I use the DJI Mavic 3 Cine for the wide shots, the Skydio 2 for the travel shots and the DJI AVATA for drone recon.
We 'only' have 15 species of rattlesnake in AZ...
What? More drone footage???? Just kidding, Gly! 😂
I really like your drone footage. What brand of drone is it ? I want to document my cross country trip from Ca. to Pa..
deadly holes there
