- Welcome back! In this adventure we get underneath the streets of Tombstone to explore some of the towns oldest workings. Many of the drifts we walk through in this video date back to the early 1880's. The workings are extremely vast, in this video, we didn't even get explore 5% of the total workings even after the 7 hours we were underground.
Have you ever seen a cold war fallout shelter in an abandoned mine before? This was a first for me, and almost everything was still there and intact which is completely mind blowing. Make sure to watch the entire video!!
I would like to thank Andrew for an amazing day underground. If anyone is interested in visiting the mines showcased in the video, click the link below! These mines truly are a time capsule.. the history they hold, the stories they could tell- this was an amazing experience.

I never new there was a fallout shelter in Tombstone, Wow what an interesting find and adventure. Thanks Owen for sharing another excellent video. And as always I will be looking forward to your next adventure
I appreciate you man!! It’s crazy how much there is in Tombstone. Some of the mines here have not seen people since it was last worked, uncharted territory makes up most of this mine. I’ll have to get started on editing my next video here 😂
Interesting place and a nice video. I have been in a couple of underground mines, one in Bisbee, AZ and the other in Silverton, CO but those were far smaller than the Empire mine. That is a vast series of underground tunnels, all dug by hand and lit with candles or carbide lamps. I have done lots of caving but I avoid mines. Caves have existed for tens of thousands of years so they are stable. Mines are not stable structures and depend on shoring timbers to prevent rockfalls & collapses. Dangerous places.
Oh really cool! I’ll be visiting Silverton really soon actually, not to explore mines though unfortunately. But I’ve driven before and it’s amazing! I’ve head lots of great things about the copper queen mine in Bisbee. The mines do have their risks, just got to be smart! Thanks for watching I appreciate ya
@@Kennerunderground I've been in the Copper Queen Mine in Bisbee. It was a later mine so it is better constructed and safer. Take the tour- you will enjoy it.
You can clearly see an arch of a ruined , buried building @1:26 . Brick walls and arches everywhere . Thank you.
So that big arch is actually a geological feature called an anticline. They form when the rock compress together over a very long time
Did a Tombstone silver mine tour Oct. 2015 when we visited. Not nearly as extensive has yours, but interesting nonetheless. Amazing what those miners did mostly by hand, with candle light.
Oh cool! I’m not sure if they had this specific tour available back then. It’s frightening to think that their only source of light was a candle. We’re so lucky these days haha
I'd say it's still a viable fall out shelter is you can get there with in 30 minutes and put some fresh cans of beans down there lol.. nice and dry in the desert for keeping 200 year old timbers
Wow, back when the government actually cared about the people.
