The mines are why I'm here ... but of all the "secondary" cast off artifacts, newspapers and advertisements are my favorite things to see. Looking forward to part 3!!! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
The size and scope of this mine is incredible. Love the artifacts! The advertisement for the 1954 Ford, I was two back then. My parents had a 1955 which I wound up with. I'm watching this Christmas night thinking of Christmases past. The artifacts were the icing on the cake. Merry Christmas! Thanks Justin and friend!
"Call for Phillip Morris"...a bell hop would say in advertising their cigarettes on TV...............all so Ozzie and Harriet TV show in the 50s......top rated show.......another great explore...thanks for diving deep into the mountains
At 5:27 that is a charging station for a locomotive battery. An extra battery rested on the support platform and there was a hoist overhead on to switch batteries on the motor (locomotive).
I think you nailed it. We had to use the excavator at our mine to swap out the batteries. This would have been much more efficient and easy. Thanks for sharing your observation.
For drum found in mine. Due to the company’s effectiveness in cleaning boiler vessels using Quick Scale Solvent, it was the top selling product. SKASOL was created by combining the words “Scale” and “Solvent” (Ska-sol). Thus, SKASOL Incorporated was formed in 1957 as a California Corporation.
Thanks Justin and friend! What a long, awesome explore. I can hear in your narration towards the end that you are getting tired, so I was surprised that you two elected to descend deeper. Still a long up hill climb outta there. Maybe you end up trying the ladder system on this level to exit.....we shall see. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and please be safe and keep posting.
This is the fluorite mine, right? The geology can be really wild in them. Grease manufactured before 1960 often contains rather risky concentrations of pretty highly active side products. Not the primary risk in a mine but just a reminder to everyone who now and again comes into contact with such substances. What a ride, hope you got a good nights sleep after! Thank you for sharing and have a great 2025!
Skasol Incorporated was formed in 1957 as a California Corporation. It was during this period it defined itself as a preventative maintenance company and moved towards preventing scaled boilers, rather than just cleaning them after they scaled.
Impressive amount of timber. But you know when an area is timbered, the ground is not so great. There must be some awesome sized stopes above that one level with all those chutes. Merry Christmas TVR!
if the area where you squeezed thru where you said it was creaking and groaning collapsed once you got thru what would you do? Would you try to go down and find the main shaft on a lower level, or go up to try to get into another level and back to the main shaft? Do you guys have collapse plans incase something does happen when you are inside? Not a great topic but im curious what procedures you have, if you bring any emergency supplies with you? Maybe worth some video time to explain???? Well i should have waited another few min when you found the exit. So lets pretend there was no exit, what would you do, what do you plan for?
Merry Christmas to you and yours. Always enjoy the videos. I have a question about the filming. I noticed over the last few months there is a whirring noise on close up spots. A machine like sound and it is often. Just wondering. Thanks.

i just looked it up skasol is a water treatment chemical company. so maybe hard water was plugging up the drills so they had to treat it somehow? they also still exist and are out of fremont california.

Looks like the Corral Bar in Fallon NV existed as late as the 50's
The best mine exploring channel.
Merry Christmas!!! to all out there from Sweden. 🎅🎄

For the track. Used on the curves. It's so the ore cart wheels don't fight you going around the corners.

I remember chewing Beemans gum back in the 1960s. It is still made and I have seen it for sale in nostalgia items at Cracker Barrel gift shops.

The campaign matchbook with William Crowell’s name on it - looks like he was the DA for Nye County NV in 1950.
Marry Christmas to you all be safe out there

Awesome video thanks for taking us along!
I want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and many more explores to come 🎁🦌🎄❄️🎅🏻
Merry Christmas!
Can't wait for pt 2 !
Thanks!
Merry Christmas ❤
All the best.
Folgers grease? Never had that? 😂🤙👍
They must have had a full time Carp on this job wow! Merry Christmas!
Happy Solstice Holidays!
Merry Christmas everyone!

i believe it is his new (brighter) light
@@jebstewart666 Does it have a cooling fan? Or causing RF interference?
@@yeroldfatdad not sure, but maybe a fan
Possibly his camera gimble. They have spinning gyros.
El capitan gambling hall in hawthorne still exists today. Really cool.
Many preppers learned from the old timers. Bleach is great to help purify water. No laundry done down there.
That Folgers coffee can contained GREASE, which might have been there 50 years, untouched, yet it looks like it could have been in use yesterday!
That's grease in the folders can. That's what it looked like back in the day
Yes, many of us packed a wheel bearing or two.
Apparently Skasol Inc. has something to do with water treatment. Owned by Global Water Tech. Inc. I didn't do a deep dive other than the name.
12:45 I must have entirely missed the sinister reason where is it in this video?
part 3?
Frenchman Station originally was a stagecoach stop. Bought later ny US goverment to use as a bombing area/
Waste piles must be huge with 30 years of operation 😮
For match book cover William J. Crowell, Sr for Attorney General (he wasn’t elected), his son William J. Crowell, Jr., was also an accomplished attorney in Carson City, Nevada and just passed away on Nov 24, 2024.
That’s one of the bigger mine I have seen in a while.
El Capitan is still in business. . .😎
i just looked it up skasol is a water treatment chemical company. so maybe hard water was plugging up the drills so they had to treat it somehow? they also still exist and are out of fremont california.
Did the miners do all the wood work, or joiners.
With that much timber, the mine may have employed timber men.
at 38:44 i'm thinking that explains that box you found a few levels back (up?) in part 1
@12:14 mark. Is that the skip station for the large grizzly above?
What's that noise at about 29:00? Sounds like air or water.
Thank you for the Video
Frohe Weihnachten und ein gesegnetes Jahr 2025

Long live the ore car.
Why was the broke skip car “sinister” ? Is that in the next episode?
Does your camera or light have a fan?
@3:50 30 e Center st is the Slippery, looks like they’ve got good onion rings! 30 west is a parking lot,…I think.
Do you have a cooling fan on some part of your gear, Justin? (Not complaining, just curious)
Salute
SKASOL was founded in 1927 as a water treatment product manufacturer and service company - googled 😎
I live in reno Nevada and the Corral bar is no more.
@3:15 its dried grease

1950s for Corral Bar.

1950s Corral Bar Cocktail Lounge Ken Ogden Ph. 378-W 30 Center Street Fallon NV.
Skasol water treatment.
Went and looked up the address, its now an empty lot.
bleach is old enough not to have a upc bar code on it.
El Capitan still open.
Miners were dirty smelly grinders! Add cigarettes to the mix and oh god!
You mean shoots and ladders
