To find the good stuff you must break out the ropes. The 182 foot level turned out to be well worth the risk.

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...

the candle with the burn marks on the wall was really something!
“Gly”: We really enjoyed finding that. Finding candles or oil lanterns from the 1800’s is very rare.
Great finds Gly and Laura, Enjoyed todays explore as always. Laura, Thank you for helping Gly's Guardian Angels keep an eye on him. WE all want Him and you to always stay safe and healthy.
Agreed 💯
Soldered food cans were in common use in the 1950s and 1960s. The FDA did not ban them until the 1990s. Soldered seam cans weren't the most common type on a grocery store shelf, in my recollection, but were in at least limited use back when I was a part time grocery clerk.
Very nice program as always. Thank you.
“Gly”: When the American Can Company was established in 1901 most all cans after that period had lapped seams without solder. Here’s an excellent antique can resource for you to look at: www.ntc.blm.gov/krc/system/files?file=legacy/uploads/22015/HistoricArtifactIDGuide.pdf
I can only tell you what I observed at home growing up and as a later as a grocery clerk/college student. In the 1950s and early 60s toothpaste was still packed in lead tubes, and solder was still used in canning some products. I don't recall seeing any new soldered cans after the mid/late 60s, But I also no longer worked in a grocery store.
Here is a quote from the USDA site.
"No. The canned food industry in the United States stopped using lead-soldered cans in 1991. In 1995, the Food and Drug Administration issued a final rule prohibiting the use of lead solder in all food cans, including imported products. Metal cans, which are made of sheet steel - sometimes with a coating of tin - are now welded closed at the seams. The inside of the can may also have an enamel or vinyl protective coating."@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces
Hahaha Frank had a squeaky wheel following him around too! Way back in a vid 😲😂 oil that climbing gear!!! 😝👍
“Gly”: You adit kidding! I’ll be addressing that the next time I use my climbing gear. Squeak squeak squeak!
Another AWESOME trip Gly & Laura!! WD40 is your friend, and a friend to my ears. Keep up the great work guys!! Thanks
Happy days Gly ... Another Saturday treat !!😁
Great show I'm glad you got somebody to help you point out things that you see going along. always interesting to hear you talk about the veins in the walks and the formation of it. she will be a great asset to this show I hope she stays with it. I enjoy watching. God bless you both stay safe 👍👍
Some nice geology visible. Thanks for another adventure Gly and Laura!
More marvellous mines with Gly and Laura. Thank you so much for bringing us this very interesting and informative video presentation which is very much appreciated. We were absolutely delighted with the artefacts that were able to be seen. It really is amazing how much has remained.
Good morning Gly. Thank you again for another Fantastic exploration!! Also a big welcome to Laura. So glad Gly has company on these explores. Take care and stay safe out there.
You two are amazing! Thanks for sharing your mine adventures! Awesome videos!
“Gly”: Thanks!
Good morning Gly , Laura,,,what an exciting find you 2 have discovered especially with the ageless artifacts. Awesome footage from the jungle Jim .Good observation Laura on the skull discrption. Thank you both for revisiting history and sharing your stories about it. Amazing job laura😊
“Gly”: Thanks Tina!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces👍👍
This is beautiful, looks like y'all are having a great time. Just so many artifacts. Also love the map overlay.
“Gly”: Were looking forward to going back next summer and going all the way into the bottom. Plus, we’re going to try and get into that upper stope.
Very Cool! Thank you and I look forward to more with the two of you!
Thank you both and bring safe. I feel like I was right with you.all. This is so special for me. GOD bless you both and your love ones.
Hay Gly you need to put a B roll camera in Lara hand, she could show you being giddy in the mine. Be safe my friends.
“Gly”: I have some ideas regarding that but I’m waiting for GoPro to finally come out with the new version of their 360 camera.
Laura of course is a awesome addition to the channel. Hopefully she'll stick around. Women make things better. 🙂
“Gly”: They sure do!
Thanks Gly and Laura. Amazing explore and do enjoy the these type of mines. Keep it coming and be safe!
Hey Gly. Besides Thunder Ridge, this mine is one of your best yet! You guys are awesome! Be safe!
“Gly”: Thanks!
I must say. This is the one channel that I have continued to watch for the longest. I have gone so far as to start exploring myself. Mainly just caves for now because I'm scared of mines. The collapse is possible in caves it is less likely than in a mine. It is however getting my feet wet sometimes literally. I have become fascinated with all things mine and cave I've even started my own little collection of antique gear which is now on display at my house. I really do appreciate the physicality involved to bring us such amazing content. The pure excitement in your voice and especially now that you have a partner gets me excited and videos like this are truly a gift. Yes it would be more awesome to be there with you and be able to touch and experience these things but you save us the hike and the quality of video is on compared. I can't wait until next week. Keep it up U2
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
It’s gonna be a good day! I was first like, and… Get to watch my favorite channel!
“Gly”: Thanks! I’m happy you’re enjoying the channel!
Another great explore Gly. You and Laura stay safe.
Your rope work is always entertaining, never boring and its good to look at your methods and equipment.. Looking well Gly!!
Thanks for the great video showing us the artifacts and the ore they were after.
Why do you think nobody has discovered and been in that mine since the 70's Gly? What a gem!
“Gly”: A person would have to do a fair amount of research as I did to find it. Did you notice that it didn’t even have Stay Out Stay Alive signs at the portal? Even the BLM is vaguely aware of its existence and that’s why I didn’t do exterior drone work on it.
Over the top video , mine , artifacts! Awesome ! Be safe see ya next weekend ! 👍🏻🫂
19:56 there's a mostly intact cable roller in the middle of that wood pile on the right. Looks like wood covered in tinning.
Anyone remember Randy? He was entertaining with his purple light 🤣
“Gly”: Randy and I still chat from time to time. As a matter of fact, he was hanging out with Wonderhussy last week in Goldfield Nevada when she was passing through.
This was fantastic! Love seeing all those old artifacts and especially the wood at the end with the dates on it. What a find!
I always feel like I miss something if I leave any area without having eyes on , that lower level calls for an additional rope like you say when the ropes come out the good artifacts are revealed.
“Gly”: We’ve decided that we will be going back next summer and roping all the way to the lowest level. Stay tuned for Season 3 of the Thunder Ridge Mine!
Fantastic finds. What a great way to visit the early 1800's. Thanks for letting me tag along. See ya Wednesday..
Another exciting show. That is a cool mine. Thanks again for the entertainment and education.
Morning Gly & friend Laura!
Love the intro music, you're so laid back the contrast is great.
I think this is the first rope "montage" I've seen you do, not counting the torpedo. I liked it❤
“Gly”: Yep, this was the first! It makes the ladder portion of the video a bit more fun and less boring.
Another great video,love thunder ridge❤
What an awesome Adventure today Gly and Laura ❤
Great series going Gly. Be safe and keep on finding them.
Hey Gly, I have a light for you. Made by Feit Electric. It's all aluminum construction, rechargeable or 3 c batteries.3 brightness levels 3000 lumens, 1500 lumens and 700 Lumins. My son calls it my lightsaber. I've never seen anything so bright. Is is also focusable. I got it at Costco for $30. Might be ideal for those huge caverns.
“Gly”: I’ve experimented with all kinds of various lighting over the years. The lighting needs to have a wide distribution width to distribute light over a wide area. Sure, some lights are very bright but a narrow distribution width will only create a bright globe of white light which is no good on camera. Nobody likes watching the white globe of doom.
Forgot to welcome Laura to the show last week. How rude of me! Welcome Laura and be safe
Yes, I'm excited to see down that ladder.
The added dimension is a good one.
So glad you have Laura as a partner now Gly, much safer that way and you get the help you need too Bro!
Awesome welcome back Laura
When you dropped the rock down the shaft i expected to hear a drum start.😀
“Gly”: Haha! Maybe next time.
Great episode can’t wait to see more next week !
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
thank you too.Datil NM USA
Soo cool to have found that dated board!
Hi! Gang:
Laura I meant to welcome you to the program last week, but I forgot. So welcome aboard Laura.
You two hit the jackpot with this mine. Lots of remnants and High Grade Ore too!
Let's see lots more of this kind of stuff.
“Gly”: We’ve got some pretty awesome plans for future explorations. 👍
Gly, is there any gold in there, small amounts?...You found a treasure trove of Artifacts...So kool.........Thanks for bring us along...................JB.
Great explore again with some very nice items and big stuff.
Hello again to Laura! Looking forward to seeing you again.
What a cool place and great artifacts. They made some incredible things in the 1800s. That era has always fascinated me.
Looking forward to the Gly short. ❤
hey mr and mrs giggle cool mine and beautiful artefacts a shame it wasn't bigger but still a nice adventure see you next week greetings Pieter
Nice adventure, Gly and Laura.
Rope work 👍.
Great fines and dates where a bonus.
See you next week.
Pete Australia 🇦🇺
Great show, thank you!
Another GREAT ADVENTURE!!!! Love seeing your findings and explaining how they were mining!!!!
I hope Ioan over at Lost Mines catches this video... this one touches on the newer end of the mines he explores across the pond, and the similarities are alarming with the hand steel, BP accoutrements, tallow and wax candles, and iron rung ladders.
From last wk"s video,.... got to see that "bucket" has now taken a "back seat". Well, its more interesting for you to be speaking to a "partner" than a "bucket"....ha,ha. When you showed the first remnent of a wheelbarrow we could see the mineral caused by thermal, now rock, activity just above it at At 10:52, LOOK! the footwall. So the miners were working the mineral that butted up to that. (in otherwards the fissure that was flowing thru this sediment.)As you walked you came upon the deep winze. I could see your mind saying "get the rope". The music background was great as it made for a exiciting feeling, as you went down the ladder w/rope assist. At 21:59, you're right Laura! looks like a skull. There were wheelbarrows left at every level....huh? Oh shoot, @ 35:36, wanted to see part of yours and Laura's "rope climb" back up. I too was wondering where you were cause there was no " bridge" earlier, on today's explore.(@37:42). Remember, yes!, the bridge you built when you were last at Thunder Ridge. Thats cool. Today's footage was alittle slower moving, having along your partner, but you got the stopes of Thunder Ridge primarily covered. Thank you for finishing the "original explore".
Great team. Great video. Lovely find Laura ,of timber, with all the dates .😀
Looking for one eyed Willie's treasure! Goonies adventure!!
“Gly”: One of these days I’m going to find it!
hey mate would be nice to reach the bottom, hope you are enjoying the the explore Laura, wish I was there with you both
“Gly”: We’ve decided to save it for next summer. Season 3 of Thunder Ridge! 👍
Nice work Gly & Laura! The SM geo tag is where they rock chip sampled Samarium. We found some in a tin mine last winter with the same tag. I think it's also known as Monazite
Love it when you say "fat boy" my step dad would call me that ...he was an amazing man , navy ww2 vet. I miss him terribly . It was a badge of honor. Btw im not fat😅😅😅
“Gly”: I like to make fun of my portlyness.
When Gly is happy and excited. I get happy and excited.
Great explor yet another great video !!!!!
Just phenomenal!! I enjoyed exploring this mine last year. Now that we’re back in it, it has just been getting better and better!!!
“Gly”: Were saving the very bottom for next summer. We’ll definitely be going back. 👍
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces This is awesome to hear. Can’t wait to see what the rest of this season in the thunder ridge brings us and then what next season does. Stay awesome my friend!!
Another great episode , Team work always works better , LOOKING FORWARD to future episodes . Gly always comes up with new stuff ,
Did you listen the strange sound/gasping at time 17:52 (turn up the volume).
It's creeping me out still.
Still looking forward to every weekend for new adventures 👍
“Gly”: These places sometimes make really strange echoes.
I would love to come and visit the old Mines you explore and see the history
Great exploring again! 🚢🇬🇧🚂⛏
I always thought if I died in a mine , at least my family could come by and say hi to me and tell how bad I'm looking ! Lol. And free burial. Ha ha
translation time, in the Isle Of Man, my birthplace there was a lot of mines. ore bucket was known as a kibble, a hand drill steel was known as a jumper, as it jumped in your hand when it was struck. miners where space permitted, worked in pairs, one holding the jumper, and rotating it a bit between blows, the other with a 4 pound hammer, 4 pounds being the most efficient weight, doing the max blow without too much fatigue, miners would change places regularly, candles were tallow............
Laura is a nice addition to the channel. glad you two found each other
I second that😊
Watching go down on ropes is part of the adventure :(
“Gly”: I agree! But so many people complain every time I show it on camera so this time I went with the abbreviated version.
This mine is realy cool dude! just imagin whats down there in the bottom whith that cool finds half way down.
“Gly”: We’ve moved on to other mines for now but come next summer we will be going back to this one and we will be going all the way to the bottom. 👍
Better late than never.
Just love your new,
Partner in Climb.
👍🇺🇸🤳❤
Hi Laura hi Gly great adventure really liked the artifacts not something we get to see every day. Stay safe✌️
Hi,
Please look into the MS18 flashlight, I thought of you the instant I saw it's capabilities, right up your alley.
“Gly”: More powerful doesn’t necessarily mean better. Unless the light has a wide focal distance all it will do is produce a white globe of light.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces from what I saw it appeared to be on a wide "flood" setting. I thought of those stopes that were actually caverns, that you've been in at times.
Right next to that candle on the right-side it looks like Carbide marking saying 1800 something,check it out,get vids,Waving atcha from Oregon.
Laura.....take good care of Gly....
He is quite insane with what he does...
I have seen him squeeze thru the most impossible places...
Dont worry MineMaster....You me friend...R .... GOLD....
Love your channel! Awesome to see you have a lady friend! Can't wait to see what the future holds
...👍🏾🙏👍🏾✨✨✨That was so amazing to see there✨✨✨👍🏾🙏👍🏾...
I loved the music at 20'50" "Heavy Duty" track 3 from Dream Cave's album "On the Grid" 2014
“Gly”: Dream Cave sure did put out allot of awesome tracks. I’ve used them allot in my work.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces and starting with “Heavy Duty”, Apple Music’s AI will curate a music list of similar tracks without end.
Good video! Good and safe to have an adventure buddy! Just in case you go down, she can tell everyone where not to dig so as to not disturb you. LOL 😁. Also figured out why your video seems a bit different. You are not wearing your rear helmet light, Laura is wearing it. 🇨🇦👍👍
The rock above that mine must be very porous looking at all the water dripping off the roof in places.
You said that the area had been hit heavily with snow this year, saw some of that evidence on another channel.
Could it be that when the mine was being worked they had a really bad winter and the place was inaccessible for months and then got too wet to work ?
I would imagine that if the moisture content got too high down there, blasting using black powder would have been nearly impossible as it would have absorbed water as the charge was being set into the hole.
“Gly”: This area was very difficult to mine in the winter but somehow, they did it. Yes, during spring snow melt these dolomite limestone mines get pretty wet and keeping the powder dry during blasting was a chore.
Once in a lifetime adventurers.
Top o' the mornin' to ya folks!
After all this time not being able to reach places bc you don't have rope and you still don't take extra rope just in case...lol 😂 kidding Gly, great video as always and cool that you met Laura! God Bless you both!!!
“Gly”: Actually, I had another 300’ in Old Bob that day. I just didn’t have the energy to go back and get it. But don’t worry, we have plans to go back. 👍
@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces I kinda figured you probably did but I just was pulling your chain a bit ...lol. I really do appreciate the hard work you do for these videos for our benefit and the amazing passion for it that you exude! I pray for safe travels and explorations for you and Laura both!
loads of history down there gly ,awsome stuff
It was really sharp with that graphic overlay of the mine map.
Looks like you might be investing in more rope for the future right?
“Gly”: Thanks! Yes, we will be going back to this mine and going into the very bottom for Season 3 of Thunder Ridge next summer. 👍
Another great adventure from the Dolomite Duo!
Hi Gly, Whoohoo! Thanks for showing us.
Might be worth looking into a LEP torch, they throw a beam a long way. Not great for general use, but how far does this haft/stope go for, great if its straight, may not show up so well on the camera thou
“Gly”: I’ve tried those. It shows up on camera as nothing more than a big white globe of light. Dark colored mines are challenging when it comes to camera lighting.
Is that the famous Gly's Folly Bridge from the Thunder Ridge Mine? Would be cool to get to the huge vertical shaft and see if the permanent snow features are bigger now from last winter.
“Gly”: I’m certain it’s probably twice the size if not larger. Just wait until you see this coming Wednesdays Shorts video.
Sounds like Gly will be putting his shorts back on ,, haha😊
30:48 Zero into bottom center. It looks like something made of leather with stitching.(right by the pink rock) Hello and thank you to the "GLaura" exploring team!
Cool name "martian guy"......GL-laura.
He said it was wood.
Yes Siree!!!!!!!! Gly and WindLassy!
great video i really enjoy the history of the mines yall are awesome your friend is so beautiful and i a mglad you have agood friend with you take care
So much to explore and no rope. Hope to see more from this place. Awesome find and thanks for another pretty mine. The artifacts were incredible. Just a little step back in time.
“Gly”: Wait, don’t you mean.. not enough rope?
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces yep I did, forgot a word, lol. Thanks Gly.
I aways wonder why there are not more skeletons in those old mine shafts ?
“Gly”: Animals most of the time but all the miner’s skeleton’s are in the grave yard.
Look at that strata in the portal 😧😃
Awesome mine. Like all the others.
