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!
Ok, now for the ugly stuff...

“Gly”: Hello everyone! I originally planned for this to be a four part series but there was just too much interesting stuff in this mine to edit it down into only four parts. Be sure to stop by next week for Part 5 and the exciting conclusion to the Silver Souls Mine!
Hmmmm....next week 4th of July w/e! Should be able to squeeze in Part 5 right between the hamburger and the strawberry shortcake!
Happy July 4th everyone!!!
Ok thanks
This was just glorious, Gly! when I saw the first mucker my heart burst out of my chest . When I saw the SECOND mucker my head exploded. Finding not one but TWO holy grails if mine diving? Good Lord, man.
That pathway with the hanging wall was flooded at one point, you can see the water line. You would have been ankle deep and or swimming! Lucky you didn't have any standing water in there and break surface tension!
@@raymondmysterious1555 +QA
hahahahhah ....thanks for that my friend......BTW.....Slusher not muck bucket the metal sheet was a muck sheet that you can pull on those rails..... accumulator tank for the drills ....... Primers are Blasting caps ...... they were using safety fuse instead of electric caps ( electric caps were more precise with delays then trying to time the safety fuse but came with their own issues as well ....now they use Nonel's and electronic ) .......man ways would have tools skips next to them ( look like small slides ) so the crew could move their tools , drills and drilling steel up into the stope for that day .....you saw a tool skip.........love those Eimco 12b's great little muckers .... you should bring sample bags with ya ( sand Bags form Lowes ) we see a lot of Gold ore in some of your vids
“Gly”: Thanks Jeff! Yeah! I saw that tool skip later on when I was editing the video. I wish I would have noticed it down in the mine so I could have pointed it out to the audience. They were certainly using it to run up and down that man way near the mucker. Your input is always appreciated Jeff, thank you! 👍
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces you betcha and keep on a keep'en on making them vids....me and Slim love watching them
@@Askjeffwilliams ..Good job Sunny Jim........JB....
You took the words out of my mouth on all counts! I've got an Ingersoll-Rand slusher, and might buy a Gardner Denver later this month. They're handy little things, especially for the crazy shrinkage stopes we run. I'm just glad that we've got LHDs now - much more efficient than a skid-steer!
How Slim, is he in lockdown still?
Gly -- @ 35:06 - That's a Diamond Drill station , that bag of Shredded Cellulose (newspapers) would be mixed with Bentonite Clay (Drillers Mud) and Water , and pumped down the Core Drill piping to fill any voids in the rock so that the Drillers didn't lose circulation . Must maintain circulation or the Diamond Bit and Core Barrel will get stuck in the rock . -- < Doc , Miner for over 50 years > .
“Gly”: Thanks Doc! I knew you would have the answer! That makes perfect sense to drill from that location in an attempt to probe the ore body.
I just discovered this person but I already love him
Gly is AWESOME!!!
“Gly”: Well, thank you!
Yeah, Gly is really down to earth!
Stick around , he has some good video's.
Do as I did and go back to his first episode and watch them all. It takes some time but well worth it!
I spent a lot of time on the grizzly in the beginning. Hard work and very dangerous!...... I love that old mucking machine, I never operated one but I watched them work. They do a good job and it beats muckin out by hand.
You worked at the mine in the video?
This mine seems dry but, given the number of slickers you found, it must have been much wetter back in the day. For that matter, groundwater was a factor in the collapse which killed three miners back in the late 50's.
“Gly”: Yes, from what I read the ground water was running down the hanging wall creating a scenario similar to when water runs under a glacier. Not good.
I know that you have all those safety measures in place, and tons of experience and all. But, man oh man, some of the places you clime into, gives me heart palpitations! Great series and Channel!
The "man recovery basket" thing is called a Stokes Litter.
That same basket is used on ships too, and called a Stokes too. They're not light.
I'm 82 retired law federal dept of justice. Love your episode keep up I had right half of my colon removed with cancer also. Gly and.m you guys rock. Thanks so mu Bob druecker.
I'm new to your UTUBE sight.
It brings back memories of my younger days when us boys would go into the desert and explore old mines.
When are you going to posting more videos
On a side note dont actually look up, UTUBE instead of actually RUclips lol
Hello Gly, at 1:45 you were not quite correct about what you called an intercom, that was a signal station with a call button and an audible horn, however it is a type of com system used to have a winch operated
At least he was right about the toilet paper ! Gly you get gold stars for that one...
Thanks for dragging us along. This was a great explore.
That was a lot of fun I really injoy myself watching this so mine thank you very much for inviting me
Massive timbers. Would hate to man handle them in the mine. Tough men. Great video stay safe
There was a mine(can't remember which episode now)but it had a timber I guess was 20+ft. long by a foot wide down in the mine. How they got that down there is anybodies guess. Tough men is an under-statement imo...
Not many soy milk breaks taken down there.
Wow so much to see , well done Gly. As a carpenter i am amazed at the quality of the wood working in the mines you visit. Old school stuff with pride in there work . Pete Australia
Wow, the equipment (with the exception of the mucker that lost it's wheel) was quite the sight. The 500 level was the best of this mine so far. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest next week !! I really enjoyed the tour (Except for the honey buckets - pity the man that had to haul them out).
Great stuff Gly a cute wee mine to me as I worked in 3 huge mines in Timmins Ontario Canada. The first mine the Dome Mine (gold) closed 3 years ago after 117 years of operation was similar to your mine except it has a vertical shaft at 5400' deep, and operated using mostly compressed air powered equipment, I was licenced on Eimco 21 and Copco LM56 muckers and rubber tired Cavo Loaders (a mucker with a small 'hopper' that were used in stopes). There were older 'timbered sections' but in later years they modernized to mechanical rock bolts and rebar and fence screen in bad ground areas, most modern mines do it that way. What you called a muck bucket is actually a slusher bucket that was pulled on a 2 drum slusher hoist via 2 cables anchored with snatch blocks at or near the face to the top of the ore chute raise, the slushers were either compressed air powered or electrically powered (we had both) till Cavo Loaders and scoop trams came into being. Your friend's slickers are called 'oilers' in these parts, the man basket is a 'stretcher' here....I could go on and on, plus I worked at Kidd Creek Mine, the deepest base metal mine in the world for 10 years and finally at the Hoyle Pond gold mine ( both Hoyle Pond and Dome Mine were owned by Goldcorp, now Newmont/Goldcorp)...as I said at the start, tiny mine, but interesting just the same...Thanks!
“Gly”: Thanks for the great comment! Slickers, Diggers and now Oilers. I’m learning allot today in the comments section.
Will you be my daddy?
How did you like the Cavos? I'm looking at the potential of using one with an umbilical remote control to muck open stopes.
@@Porty1119 -- At American Borate's Billie Mine in Death Valley , we had two Wagner ST-5B's that we converted to Remote Control for operating out in the Stopes . The miner would operate the ST-5B normally , while under protected ground , and remotely in the Stope . < Doc > .
@@001desertrat3 Funny you should mention that, Doc. That basket-case 911 I picked up is likely to be converted to remote-control operation once we get around to rebuilding it. That machine will need all new lines and hoses in addition to the engine work, so I'm in favor of tearing it down and retrofitting it to meet our needs. I wouldn't even be opposed to converting it to 480V trailing cable electric power - I know where to find a cable reel assembly off a cannibalized Wagner EHST-1A.
Another great video man. Hopefully the stopes hold some nice treasures for ya. Finding 2 muckers on the same level is very cool, odd no ore carts. They were probably easier to get out. Nice little shout out to 2 other great RUclips channels!! As always stay safe out there
Gly, that round disk at 35:49 could have been used for a constant pressure air compressor. Adding or removing a disk would increase or decrease the amount of pressure the air compressor would put out. Was common on Rotary air compressors for example where you could adjust the suction pressure which would intern regulate the discharge pressure.
Just found your channel , my son and I love it so interesting we can’t turn it off! Thank you
😎😎Wow! So many artifacts, it's like they just left for the day.... Thanks Gly!!
They left a lot of stuff in this mine..WOW...Could spend a day in there...So much stuff to see...Most Interesting video....I think this mine has more stuff in it than any other mine we have seen..okokok,, I mean Artifacts...And still lots of Silver still there....Some of this mine is so very sketchy, surprised you went in to....Think I will watch it again....Thanks for bring us along....Hummmm......Where was Mr. M.? he missed out on a good one..................JB...........
“Gly”: Mr M was there but he couldn’t go that deep because of his knees. We’re all getting older and some things don’t work like they once did.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Sad, but true.............
4.30 am / I keep my promise to not sleep until your vid is watched/ this is a big one gly and there’s still more to come / thanks Gly I can now go to sleep dreaming of snakes and ladders/ until next week take care stay away from the virus / from the old aussi goodnight mate 😀😃😄😁😆🐿
Another great vid Gly. Terrific to hear that you are going to complete the mine explorer the other drift & stopes. When you walked across those steel ventilation tubes & caused all that screeching, I was waiting for an old miners ghost to leap out of that "crib" & rest room yelling at you to shut the **** up while he was cat napping!! 😁.
At 32:14 the only thing I kept thinking to myself was 'shhhhh' lol
Love the exploring. I just found your channel a day ago and I've been going through them off and on since. This might be something to watch with my mother, just like we watch people exploring abandoned houses.
Small fortune in brass fittings down there. Love this series.
That's a 12B track mucker. That handle you grabbed was the forward and reverse handle. The one with the black on it was the throw handle for the bucket. But to throw the muck backwards into the muck car you would pull the handle forward and then backwards to lower it.
Thank you man i really appreciate the mine tours you do. I have been out looking in joshua tree and exploring. But that stuff gets sketchy to me. Just working through the fear of being buried. But definitely worth it when you find a cool place to explore.
Gly, thank you for bringing us all along on this mine Explore. Always keep your self safe and in the process you are keeping us safe and healthy too. Thank you for the Awesome Samples that I have been able to purchase on Ebay when you have had them available. They really bring the adventure right into my home and my wife and I have them displayed in Our living room they are so great. i will be watching for your future Explores.
“Gly”: Thanks David! And thanks again for helping support the channel! I found some fantastic specimens of silver ore, sulphur and silica that I will have available next week Friday. I also found some rainbow breccia (igneous breccia) that’s just beautiful. I’m happy your enjoying the specimens, thanks again!
A very interesting part of the mine there Gly. Can't wait to see next weeks episode! Keep up the Good work and Stay safe.
Haven't watched Jeff Williams in a while a smart and funny man.
Hi Gly, I so appreciate you not disturbing artifacts as you're walking thru and describing them to us. Another great video! Thank you
Yet another superb video!
Franks on his way first looking in to if he can recover those muckers,
@excollier114 yea had some nasty sections in that mine
How come personal belongings are left behind ? Why does a mine become abandoned ?
ID like to know that aswell? why are most mine's abandoned??
Ore passes still filled with good material.. machinery, clothing, enough lumber to build a small house out of.
Some of the mines I'm seeing our old mate gly walk into, even hes saying wow look at all this beautiful vains/material left behind.. I have some idea that there could be a few reasons for deserting a rich mine, just looking for the one main reason people aren't still mining some of thes beautiful Mines? Did they make ther money and retire? Or Did it become unviable with the dollar dropping on whatever product the mine produced?
@@trueaussieray9093 most of it has to do with WW1, WW2. Any non-essential mine was shut down and miners went to war. The mines were just not opened back up.
@@leehilton9932 cheers Lee! That make sense.
Miners all amaze me the old timer and new one great engineers and BIG BALLS.
These videos are great! Very Well done, personable, informative. Thank you.
Love the geology
These videos are great man, very tense but you stay so calm and show a lot of cool things! Amazing to see the type of engineering they used to keep all this weight up, must of been such hard work.
Thanks Gly, have a great and safe week!
Impressive vein at the 500 ft. level. Wondering how it would assay. Lots of water making it's way through too. You can never have enough TP!!! A huge amount of lumber - I'd hate to think of the cost. Thanks for an interesting episode.
Hello Gly, that man basket can also be called a stretcher 😉. This mine just keeps on giving, there were so many area's with various tools, boxes, a mucker or 2, wow an awesome explore. Thank you so much for taking us along with you, much love. xx💖🤘
“Gly”: Thanks Sue! Apparently it’s called a Stokes Basket. I’m still learning something new every day.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Hey I'm 51 and still learning lol. xx
It took me all of the episodes up to this one to finally realize that you were saying HAULAGE. All along I thought you were saying HALLAGE, adding an -age to the hall. Derp!
Hey Gly. The shovel looking things that you found down there. The one with the Dee rings for the cable to attach to. Their called Slushers. In some of your other videos you showed the winches that operated them. Great Videos. Keep them coming. Stay Safe.
I can't wait to find an intact double-drum slusher. It'll be coming out with me...eventually...via a comealong and wheelbarrow!
Another fascinating explore this week Gly, with lots to see. Thank you for sharing the adventure, I look forward to next week’s episode. Take care and stay safe. 👍❤️
Time for breakfast and Saturday morning adventure
I saved this video til today so I could watch it in peace, was not disappointed. Cheers Gly from the UK.
I could hardly hear you getting over that vent pipe!!!
Great videos...this is probably one of the best!
I would totally take that toilet paper that was still in the wrapper haha
I just wanted to say, YOU ARE AWESOME. My hubby and I live in the southern Nevada area. I do lapidary with the gemstones found around us. I grew up around abandoned mines and have NEVER chanced entering one. So, when your Channel came into my view, I found it super exciting that there is a Channel or two(:P) dedicated to exploring mines I have seen only from above the shaft or adit, where I CAN SAFELY enter a mine via GLY and quelch my curiosity of what it looked like inside. Thank you so much for that! Have you ever checked out mines in the area of Katherines Landing, AZ. My mom lived in Bullhead a while back and we used to go down to Lake Mojave swimming. But there are some shafts in that area. Also found a wild boar cave and a miners cat was peering up at us from one of the shafts in that area. Real cool at that time. Many many years ago. Thanks for taking us all into the mines with you...STAY SAFE!!!
Love you Gly!
“Gly”: Thanks you! Yes, before starting this channel I was exploring that area west of Kingman AZ. Your right, there are lots of mines in that area and I will eventually get back to that area to document some of them. In early 2018 I was exploring the area between Hoover Dam and Kingman but back then I was exploring mines just for fun. I’m really happy your enjoying the channel... thanks again!
Speaking of Kingman I wonder if any of the mines around Oatman are accessable.
Back in the 90's, I worked as a Deputy Public Defender in Kingman for almost five years. It was an interesting place to live. I still have friends there.
Can’t wait. Big mine. We really enjoy your videos. Thank you
We called the yellow rain suit “Diggers” in the Sunnyside mine in Colorado.
Hey cool stuff! I found you through Wonderhussy’s channel
At 37:39 it looks like they had good-sized fire as to how much the timber was burnt.
“Gly”: Actually, there was never a fire in this mine. This timbers look black like that because there wet and rotting and the black stuff is mold.
Thanks again, 'Gly'! Massive veins down there, can't wait to see what the stoped areas look like!
Can believe how unhappy good Timber is lying around.
Nice explore. Look forward to next week.
13:09 Austin Powers makes dynamite as well as being an international man of mystery!
“Gly”: Yeah baby... yeah!
One wonders how much those large loose timbers are worth today.
Unless you go to a specialty lumber house and pay the really big bucks, you can't even get timbers that size anymore!
well they're worth your life because they're holding up the roof
Structural 1 grade heavy timbers go for $2.50 to $3.50 per board foot, and sizes up to 12x12x20’ are readily available from the major lumber yards. This is about on par with mid grade cabinetry hardwood. How much more you would pay for providence, I dunno.
MORRIS PAUL Marks I am not talking about the the cribbing, and the box cribbing I am talking about the stacked unused timbers you see.
@@transmaster I was wondering the same thing.. but id imagine you'd fight hell to get them out although they do look like they're in pristine condition.
That Austin powder box was cool I live in the Cleveland area so that was cool to see
I am fairly new to the channel and I absolutely love it ... informative ,great video quality and you take the time to show us everything in detail and you are very knowledgeable about all the workings of the mine and its contents . I apriciate you sharing these mines with us .I work in a coal mine in Illinois and its huge and going to get bigger every year.
That sack of 'wood scraps' are called 'wedges' and integral to 'cribbing!
Good video, Gly....lots of history in that baby...!
I love your channel.
Hi Gly, another great video!
At 1:48, that square grilled item is a buzzer/horn.
The electrical system in this mine is newer than 1960's, possibly up-dated when the geologists revisited it in the80's/90's?
Thank you again Gly for an interesting and informative video. Surprising how much equipment has been left behind.
I came back to rewatch this video this mine gives me the shivers all up and down my back and makes me pucker watching you go down that incline I thought I saw some good ore and tungsten if I had a mobile ultraviolet light I would ship it to you and have you re explore it I would go into it but you guys seem to me to tempt fate. Gly and El Magnifico
Just in case it wasnt said the "recovery basket" is known as a stokes stretcher lol and i love the videos guy as a first responder FF/EMT Its aweskme to see how some of these folks go about going through these places before we have to recue them
The way that dark section around the 10 min mark ate up all the light and dampened all the sound was really creepy, especially considering how dangerous he said it is.
The Big Battery is from a tram motor. Great Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great explore, man the 500 level was full of artifacts. That was sweet. Next time be a little quieter on the air pipe. Lol. The colors in there were very unique. More than a rainbow mine for sure. Watch out for them loose rocks. Take care and see ya next weekend. Happy 4th of July Gly.
Great video, see ya with the next one. Thanks.
Your doing a absolutely great job on this mine. Thanks for sharing.
@12:21 it's a slusher,....
And " Det cord " ?????
20:20 it's a litter
36:55 cellulose
Lol nice video Gly.
“Gly”: Allot was learned via the comments section in this series. The stretcher is a “Stokes Basket”. The yellow jackets are “Slickers”, “Diggers” or “Oilers”. The winches and buckets are “Slushers”. The batteries were for an “Electric Locomotive”. The newspaper is “Cellulose”. Toilets are called “Honey Buckets” or “Thunderboxes”. All fuse is referred to as “Safety Fuse”. Tanks are “Pressure Vessels” or “Accumulators”. The intercom is a “Signal Station”. “Orbs” are wander souls lost in mines and if not careful Wraiths will materialize out of walls and rip your face off. I’m quite skeptical about the last two. Lol
Hi there, Great video
Thanks Gly that’s been one hell of a explore thank you for sharing. 🇬🇧🛸👍👍
Soon videotime, next episode... Better then TV channels👍👍⛏🎶🤠
" i thought i felt some wind "
Nah, that was just a knocker walking past you
Boy I am excited about the next video!!!
What interesting to me is how they got those big tanks down there.
I love your channel. It would be cool if you explained what that mucker did and how it was used. Thank you.
They're for mucking out headings (and sometimes drawpoints). You'd set slide rails ahead of your track, they can be extended as you chew through the muckpile. One lever is directional control, the other is the bucket control. Once you fill up your bucket, you boom up and the muck will be thrown into the car behind your mucker.
“Gly”: Frank shows his in operation in this video at 3:54 ruclips.net/video/Dl-0RUKqxMY/видео.html
At 22:15 I think 1/2 pint is the reggae singer they are referring to. He was popular in and around 1981.
When you started down the drift at 10:13 got completely creeped out. So dark and forbading!! I felt closed in. This is the first time I have ever felt like that!! So glad when you got out of there!😳😳😱
Thanks for taking us along
Absolutely riveting viewing! Better than TV! - And one fine example of why I dont own a TV too!
I subscribed a few videos back and I have to say I have watched each video all the way through too. It seems you've taken up the pace where Frank left off but I'm sure I'll see you both on a video soon :)
“Gly”: Thanks! Yes, Frank has his style and I have mine but between the two of us I think we’re producing some pretty good content. I’m happy your enjoying the channel and thanks for subscribing!
Literally found this guy via a video where he crawls through a space that made my skin crAwl (claustrophobia) and for some reason can't stop watching and singing along with the intro when it plays. Absolutely in love with the channel man keep it up.
“Gly”: Thank you, I’m really happy you’re enjoying the channel!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces thank you for providing entertainment Gly! Never thought I'd learn this much about mining.
The stretcher was called a Stokes
A Stokes Litter. Used by a lot of Fire Departments and Rescue Squads for carrying immobile injured persons. During my time in the fire service, I helped carry a lot of people out of the mountains in a Stokes Litter. Now, most of them are made of plastic or fiberglass and they are called Basket Stretchers.
@@harryedmunds6652 Those would be used, mostly, by S.a.R. groups, or wilderness rescue groups/med evac choppers now. Most fire departments don't even use back boards any more, unless they're not able to clear a spinal injury in the field, or if the pt has a hip fracture. Mega-movers and the like are preferred if the patient isn't ambulatory.
I will say. They way you slowly pan around the room so as though the audience can look too it’s great thank you.
i love you videos i hope you can show us more cool and exsiting old mineshafs also hellow from canada
I wondered if I would claustrophobic. Oh yes. And I wondered if I would get lost in a mine like this one. Oh yes. GET ME OUTTA HERE!!! AArrggggg !!
Excellent documentation that is a fantastic site I’m glad you were able to really pick through that mine and show us all the levels be safe out there glad to see you’re rolling with a partner keep up the great work⚒💎🇺🇸
The pegs were probably for running your fuse lengths.
I look forward to Gly's videos more any garbage on TV! What an amazing mine! There is a mine I go out to in Utah about once a year that has more than one portal. Complete with a tram house, thousands of feet of workings, stopes and a REALLY scary winze. It also has a couple ore carts still on the tracks. Fun to ride in. Found an incline to an upper level. Still haven't finished exploring that level. They worked that mine until the 70s, pulling 3 million dollars in ore out. I would love for Gly to get video of that one. It's a MASSIVE, incredible mine. Can't wait to get back out to it! Keep up the awesome videos!!!
“Gly”: That sounds like a really good one! 👍
Be interesting to see the soda cans in more detail as the type of opening would give some idea as to age. How I wonder are those ladders held in place? You don't see any attachments anchoring them or holding one ladder to another one.
The shallow pockets next to the haulage is called cubbies. It's a save place to stand when a locomotive is coming down the haulage. The big battery pack is probably for the battery powered locomotive that pulls the hoppers.
Yes, Jeff Williams is great. His dad is even greater!
In South Africa we call them scrapers
Fascinating. Thank you !
Good video nice you spent a lot of time to show us all the drifts and the muckers so 😎
The cellulose in that bag could have been used as a thickening agent in drillers mud.
Rubber suites that minners wore were called "Diggers". The winch you were talking about the other day is called a "windless".
It is getting better every time, great explore and very nice stuff too see and find, thnx for climbing over a bunch of loose pipes too show us a dead end lol love these videos :-)
