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!

Keystone Amber Light beer was introduced in 1994. That means it has only been around 30 years since somebody was down there. Kraft Mayo first came out in 1930 so that box could be that old.
What do mice find to eat way down there? I was so surprised that there's life there at all with nothing but rock and manmade materials around.
Ok you 80's guys, I'll say it one more time.......QUIT LEAVING YOUR TRASH in these mines!!!! It's not hard to take it with you. Great job Laura and Gly!!! Thank you for another enjoyable show!!!!
In the explosives plant where the dynamite was made, they made the nitroglycerine as they used it so no extra volume existed. A person made it on a small cart. Every morning he would push the cart out away from the main building, sometimes on a small track in case of a mistake and explosion. That cart was called an "Angel Buggy". For obvious reasons. (A story told to me around 1959 from an old miner)
**Great explore! A mine does not need to be huge to be interesting.
Apache Powder Company, Curtiss, AZ, per chance?
@@stephenmellentine I had forgotten, but yes!
@@myfavoritemartian1 My parents both worked there in the early 1960s, met and married. Lots of locals in nearby Benson worked there. There are a few Apache Powder artifacts (including an angel buggy) at the Benson Historical Society.
@@stephenmellentine Very nice to hear! Thank you.
My wife and I physically shuddered as you casually tossed that single jack demonstration stick back down the drift towards the dynamite after you JUST told us how dangerous it was. 😂
It is … If I recall there’s a solution that can be sprayed on and soak it to make it inert don’t remember what it’s called 🤷♂️ But them rodents 🐀 sure are smart ☝️ don’t chew that up for nesting material it’s chrystalized
@@rawbsworld6604 Nitroglycerine has a pungent odor and taste that likely repels them.
@@MrHurricaneFloyd 👍
I recall in the 1950's & 1960's there were safety announcements on TV about the danger of blasting caps. I for one never saw any but there must have enough of them around to be reminded of their danger.
Cargboard boxes were invented in the late 1800's early 1900's. The slogan on that mayo box was used around the 1930's so somone probably moved the dynmite back in the 30's into those other boexes. At the time it was probably safe to handle since it would have only been down in the mine for about 20 or so years.
Excellent explanation on the dynamite, it is more dangerous than a rattle snake, dynamite don't warn you its there!
Awesome awesome mine , little unnerving with broken ladders , and all the flaking and of course the 💥 🧨 😱 unnerving but also neat to see and also all of your information, work on every video and mine ! Be safe out there see you Wednesday!
We used dynamite that was 1.25 to1.5 inch diameter in the 70’s to open trench in Arizona. Timed fuse with blasting caps and primer cord runs, still have my blasting pliers.
Bobble heads in a Jeep!
Anyone else get spooked at the 20:50 mark by the whispering?
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that. I'm no expert but it kinda sounds like Laura, but I could be wrong. In the years that I've been watching his channel this is the second time I've heard something in one of his videos.
@@sabbathgirl131 Yeah, I am pretty sure it is Laura, when he leaves that section she is just around the corner. It was so creepy at the time as I had headphones on.
Gli.. I don't think too many of us would be upset, if you changed your camera rig, for roping. As you've said, we have all seen ladders, and in that respect, most shafts, are just shafts. My primary concern, as i'm sure, all would agree, is the safety of you and Laura. I wouldn't be too much concerned about content, you have a knack of filling in the other bits, in that classic Gli style🤠
Single jacking involves an individual holding a drilling steel in one hand and hitting it with a hammer held in the other. The single jacks have 3- or 4-pound heads and 10-inch handles. The short handle helps you place blows accurately and resists breaking better than longer handles.
wow so much dynamite , thanks for a fantastic video , circa 1900 my coolness be carefull
and laura too x
Hey Gly. Grab a rope bag and clip it into the back loop of your astro harnes. When you leave the tail high it doubles the chance of rock fall from the pitch point. It helps keep your rope protected during the rappel too. Theres a way you can fold the rope into the bag so it feeds out without tangling
...👍🏾🙏👍🏾... HEY GIY Y'ALL... WHAT AMAZING VIDEO AND A GREAT ...👍🏾🙏👍🏾...
😳Ekkkkkk
When those Little Rock’s rolled down towards the dynamite 😳🌸
Nothing would happen 👍 only if a human comes it contact with a volatile substance does it become explosive 🧨 😆
@@rawbsworld6604 ??????????????????????????
Another interesting video. I used to dynamite rocks that were too big to move with my dad on our Iowa farm many years ago. He would pack mud on top of the dynamite, put a cap and fuse in it, then we would light it and run like hell.
Loved how you did so much, educational/informational on this one. Fascinating! Thank you
According to the dictionary a single jack is : a short-handled hammer weighing about four pounds and used in hand drilling. Not the drill.
You could have one hell of a 4th of July celebration with all that Dynamite. I guess the ATF wouldn't be too happy about it.
Ultimate insanity to try to gather and transport that stuff. Very risky just to be in the mine with it above you. Imagine a rock falling and setting it off, or one of the recently disturbed rats biting into it.
That was AWESOME Gly and Laura!!! I love the ones that no one has been in for years and years! That was a great explore and thank you for sharing it! God Bless you both!
Hi Gly
Another wild video. Saw online that the IH Kent mentioned in your Viideo are still in business! Imagine that!
Loved it. Another testament to men who did a lot of work, for sometimes seemingly zero reward. Mind boggling!
Looks to me like seismic activity may have caused the buckling
AWESOME lesson on dating dynomite by circumference! and composition...The terminology (jack+double jack)meaning, and how they were used, positioning of CO2 monitor..ect! VERY informative episode!...be careful of the false floor hatch clearing,I would imagine the possibility of raking across an old blasting cap or a stick of dynomite is very real...I remember one of your vids where you pointed out a tamale camo'ed on a dust covered false floor.
That was quite an interesting mine. Thanks for the great video and all the hard work getting in and out of it.
Good video, it's always cool when you refer to other videos, it makes me realize how long I've watched you! Stay safe!
You guy's are so cute together. It's nice having Laura with Gly. Thanks for letting those of us who are disabled enjoy the adventure with you guy's.
Back before I got hurt I remember exploring a high mine in Ouray Colorado and finding dynamite and a shed full of core samples. I miss those days.
You saved the rat. He climbed your rope to get out. ! Lol
At first glance, I thought Laura adopted a Tribble.

Keystone light was introduced in 1989. Love the vid!
🤦♂️ lmao hope they sued that marketing firm , hey I know ☝️ call it keystone after them cops cuz that’s what consumers will be bumbling inept clowns after drinking alcohol 😆
Excellent video thank you so much for your amazing effort .
Wow so interesting and dangerous. Thank you, may the LORD bless you both
Kraft’s kitchen fresh mayonnaise advert is from the 1930’s.
Gly, forgive my ignorance, but if that was a bonanza mine and pulled value out of the ground, why were there no real pockets or galleries? Were there no real veins that they were following? Or were the drifts where the veins were? Seems a lot of work went into that mine, but no real ore to be seen in it. Usually, you see little bits of it in your explores. Great episode, and I look forward to the next. I'm glad you have Laura with you to do these explores.
Awwwww just love the matching Tribbles guys
Laura when you slipped I gasped for air. I was so glad you were okay. I was also glad to see you both get out of that dangerous place.
When you refrence drilling! a single jack is the actual hammer usually weighing around 3 to 4 pounds itself used by one miner he would hold the steel in one hand and the single jack in The other, striking the steel then shaking it and rotating it . A double jack was usually 8-12 pounds and swung by one miner while a second miner held the steel shook it and twisted it. Various lengths of steel were used starting with a shorty progressing up to the depth you wanted to make your shot. Most hand drilled faces were 3-4 foot holes . We were using the modern jack legs and pulling 6-8 foot shots. Great videos Ya'll.
I watched most of this one on my phone so I'm gonna have to go back and watch it again on my tablet and get some screenshots out of this mine
Its not often you here someone say: if its asbestos, your ok 😂
Amazing video like allways and that seen in fallout with the crushed foot was so good.
Laura has a pretty smile .
Another great video Gly, good lesson on the old Dynomite!
Hi you two. Thanks. Very intriguing, I couldn't wait to see it.
If you enjoyed it, Like it folks!
Amazing explore you two. Hard work but there were some pretty good prizes.
Those crystals look like wolfanite
Gly and Laura what a good adventure. Thanks for the history lesson regarding DynOMite...LOL
Great video Gly and Laura. I always wondered how they could transport that dynamite to the location. I guess I have seen if you bump nitroglycerin it explodes. Maybe it wasn't as sensitive as I thought back then.
Wow Glaura, awesome mine thank you both xxx
Bang, that was an excellent adventure, guys .
Rope work is always fun 🙄 but it's better to be safe than sorry.
I'm always keen to see the next adventure .
Pete Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Gly and Laura another excellent video and description thanks so much. I don't know which was worse getting shook on the drive up there or climbing the ladders pretty bumpy. Real interesting to see the old dynamite, and trust you gly to nearly kick a piece of the box into the sticks. 😅 Thank Laura for the clear glasses nice to see the person behind the shades. Sounds like you are huffing and puffing a lot, is that thin oxygen down there causing you breathing? Looking forward to the next stay safe Paul
Mayonnaise dynamite, with a kick. Lol. Neat mine and probably smells like rotten eggs. Lots of gold left in them hills. Great dynamite find, but deadly.
Educational. Thanx Gly and Laura!
if you hit a bonanza lode with an air drill, it squeals like a pig, gold being soft. a bit like machining copper or btass in a lathe. the calinite probably took the ladder supports out
Great episode.
Seems to me, that somebody took the time to sealed off those lowers sections because they intended to come back themselves. I would definitely check out those lower sections carefully if I was a prospector.
Loved your description of what happens when you step on a blasting cap. Just watched that episode last night🤢👍
3:40 what the heck is that thing floating through the shot? That is weird. I’ve seen dust, bugs, and other winged things but this was weird.
Thank you for the great exploration, I'm glad you two got out of that mine without an accident.
I'm always in total awe of mines and the workers that were down there.
When I was a kid, my grandpa told me that he had the opportunity to work in a mine in Germany in his youth. He said it was really good money, but he had to quit after a week. He was a tough s.o.b but the mine was tougher, I guess.
Australia watching love this episode great history and visual experience . Hats off to you guys for sharing your Esperance . Always watch SHARE and Subscribe and a big bib LIKE . Keep safe and enjoy life to the full
Gly should do a traza call as he swing across 😅
Marvellous! Thanks again. I did have one question. How was the unstable dynamite transferred from its boxes into cardboard containers?
I love watching these when you find stuff. I have a screen saver on my tablet of all the channels I watch. With yours I sometimes B&W them.
Another great one this week. You never disappoint us. Getting down and dirty is the only way to go. Jeep it up guys.
😰WOW, I was not physically there but all that old dynamite had me sweating as you all were walking carefully around it.
Was rather worried you both walking around dynamite😮great video as always thanks guys ❤
Thanks for another brilliant explore guys
Those hidden hatches show another danger in old mines
False floors that you can't even see
Stay safe
I come from a town in NJ the next town over is sayerville were Hercules company is located. Crazy mine thank you an Laura for sharing be safe 🙏
Awesome video! If the dynamite is so sensitive, how come the pack rats don’t set it off. Seens like they chew on everything!
Hahaha exactly hope I ain’t walking on no dynamite buried under all this rock that fell on it
Good for you, buddy
Always the one to think of possibilities, and dangers, I have to wonder if you've thought of what loose rock might drop from above onto that dynamite? I'm sure you've looked, but had to mention it just in case. And the rats, and mice, might they set it off if they scurry over it? Possibilities! Is there a reason you wouldn't report this to whoever is responsible for keeping the mines safe? Thanks for giving us the experience of what it's like to explore these mine from the safety of our homes, spectacular! 👍😎✌🗽
P.S. Had to come right back, and mention I went directly to watching an old episode of What's My Line from 1955, and one of the guest's was a lady dynamite saleswoman, coincidence? 😁
Great episode, as usual! One question that's never been asked: How long is a typical section of mine rail, and how did they get a straight piece of it to turn tight corners when delivering it to its point of installation? Also, were curved rail sections
and switches custom bent inside the mine by hand tools alone? What a labor-intensive task!
Don’t let Willie coyote find this mine, that road runner might be in trouble, 😆
Hi Gly and Laura. Thanks for the video. If the early 1900's dynamite is that unstable, wouldn't it have been risky for the 80's miners to be actively mining there? It would seem that 1 wrong rock being jarred loose by a blast falling on the old dynamite would be game over. One stick detonating would surely set off the rest wouldn't it? Or would the 80's miners have just been using picks and shovels working veins that were already exposed.
23:48 It went from friendly to adventurous ...lmao...Gly...Laura and your safety is always my concern 😊
because dupont became too big, it was split into dupont, hercules powder and atlas powder. your the 2nd one i have watched finding a box of dynamite, the other is TVR, his friend found a whole unopned box of dynamit, that was submerged in water for decades, but now has subsided. really good mine you guys and girls have found here
Great video thank you
Blast from the past
Great episode, loved the commentary n rope work. LAURA, YOU'RE doing great! Exciting to see the explosives also. What was the dark mineral i saw, or was it just a shadow? Was every gold vein removed, bc I dont recall seeing much of a vein anywhere. Tnx so much, u2!
You may have said, if so I apologize for asking but was the Kaolinite the cause of the buckling of the boards in the shaft due to the expansion you described?
Amen
It's a miracle that the rats or the mice dont start chewing on those sticks. Even a bit of kyolte sluthing off and Landing on it. That's a dangerous MIne!
Exactly 👍 from all the hype would make a great segment on that old show ‘That’s incredible’ 😆 hear of more explosions at fireworks factories than from old unstable? dynamite and they’re working with fresh new powder 🤷♂️
Excellent job as per usual guys. Love it.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
have you ever done a video of everything your carry?
Ooh boy 😮 definitely got to watch our step in this one!!!
Would you have any idea about the time period this mine would have been started? What kind of transportation did they have? I think these people were amazing people.
Explosive episode! Great stuff - just take care!
11:32, late coming in. Boy, am i nervous for both of you, all that dynomite laying around. Asbestos, not cool, epsomite, OK. carry on. Look at all that glittering crystals, cool shiney. When you said poke, i thought you were going to poke the dangerous stuff, a no no. DON'T DO THAT.
It's okay for me to do it but you can't do it because you won't do it safe 🤣🤣🤦
Cool story bro you found some Dynamite 🤗 I remember my first time too 🤣🤣🤣
Very interesting mine explore, well done.
Thanks for the Dynamite Insight!
Always enjoy your chill adventures, Gly!
grea t video so glad yall made it out ok hank ou for warning others to stay out cant wait to see more of yallls awesome videos stay safe be careful take care
Greetings from Poteet Texas
hello Gly et Laura , ravi de vous suivirent dans cette aventure détonante :) ,
WOW! Very Cool! And as usual educational. Great Video!
Totally Awesome.
Wow, another great one. Question: do you use static or dynamic ropes. I bet static.
