That rock fell for between 4.0 and 4.5 seconds. If it was 4 seconds, it fell for 78.5 meters [257.5 feet]. If it was 4.5 seconds, it fell for 99 meters [324.8 feet].
Dude, as a mother I ask you to please make sure to tell someone where you are going on your happy trails, because it is seriously making me nervous about your safety in these abandoned mines. The videos are fascinating and interesting, but my goodness, what a horrible way to make a living. That shaft you threw the rock down was deeeeeep !!
Been watching your explorations all afternoon. Lots of stoles and wedges means the old time minors knew the danger there. Hats off to you for admiring their efforts. Always be brave, your soul is a super natural being and cannot die. That old swiss cheese section looks like it covered up what was below, seen some of those too here in British Columbia. Risky but that's what makes it rewarding. Thanks large for posting!
You always out do yourself kid. All your explores turn out to be excellent adventures. Please stay safe and always looking forward for the next episode. !
15:43, porcelain insulator. I found the exact same type on a string of old downed barbed wire last week, in the mountains. Must of had a wood fence post under it at one time, as the nail was still in it, and it was wrapper with barbed wire.
Hi Jerith, such a scenic location with quite a few old workings. They certainly liked stoping that's for sure 😉. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
They might have used a nail in the peg board, like the one stuck in the chute next to board, I've used all sorts of items including matches, cheers, be safe. ❤
Another awesome explore Jerith! Love, love, the Peg Board! Don't think I have ever seen one still intact. Have seen a few "tag" boards for the when the miners entered or left and had to hang/remove their tag number. I have a feeling I know where this one is located and that would explain the newer aluminum cans scattered about and the fire pits. Never did understand someone starting a fire inside a mine - that's a scary thought. Keep exploring and thanks for sharing!
@Charlene Myers -- People start Fires inside Mines thinking that the smoke will chase out any Bats or Critters inside the Mine . But that is one of the Worst things they could have done , as it has now filled the mine with Carbon Monoxide , an Invisible Poisonous Gas . -- Thank You but I'll keep the Bats , they're living proof that the Air is reasonably safe to breathe .
That peg board was quite awesome to see, first one of it's kind I've came across. Love how the writing in pencil connects you back to that time, to the miner that wrote on the piece of wood. It does suck how people feel it's perfectly fine to set a fire inside a mine, doesn't make sense to me. Thanks for watching Charlene!
maybe you and some buddies should try to mine a mine? See how much progress you can do in a week...that would be interesting to document the amount of work it takes.....
Love your adventures and as the old saying goes stopping to smell the rose,s .In this case looking and talking about the workmen ship of days gone by .Cjd wash state ⛏️🤔
Yep, definitely got to stop and admire the craftsmanship of these mines. And wondering how it's still standing to this day. Thanks for watching as always!
Makes you wonder how they got all that heavy equipment up there definitely wasn't easy just in order to work that area way too cool thanks for sharing 🤟✅
Thanks alot Naomi! The one that scared me a little was the last one, couldn't even see the bottom. People reckon it's about 400 feet deep which is crazy to think about. Thanks for watching.
A ten-stamp mill! These mines must have been major producers. It's strange that there aren't more remnants of structures. And what a temptation, I've never seen a finer example of a means to count ore cart loads than that cribbage board. That didn't go home with you, did it? You're more honest than most. Cool video.
Yup a ten stamp mill! Didn't see any remnants of it sadly. The peg board is still nailed to the ore chute. I thought that was so cool to see. Thanks for watching!
When reached the top and looked rt at what was left of the building. There were some power poles Power for mine did you see any other insulators? Besides the sm Porcelain on the left side roof? I collect.
As unstable as the geology is there, and as much ground fall as there is, it's kind of a miracle this mine hasn't totally collapsed already. It's only 1 good earthquake away from total collapse.
I'd have to guess the same. Alot of it was not uniform and some spots were unevenly spaced out between pillars. This mine doesn't have too much time left if I had to guess. Thanks for watching!
I am a mine virgin so forgive for my questions. I wonder where this is located but expect that you won't say. I thought most states had to seal the mines and if so, why is this one so open?
It's a great question, the answer is it takes alot of money and resources to fence, gate and even collapse mine entrances. The Bureau of Land Management has a list of certain mines that they close up, obviously this isn't one of them. And I'm thankful for that fact because this was a great one. Thanks for watching!

You have more knowledge about this than most. You definitely know what you are doing. Stay safe.
Respected sir i m from India,one of your subscriber,,, mining engineer student,,i love your videos
That rock fell for between 4.0 and 4.5 seconds. If it was 4 seconds, it fell for 78.5 meters [257.5 feet]. If it was 4.5 seconds, it fell for 99 meters [324.8 feet].
Great location, beautiful sceanery and an awesome mine. Thanks again...
Always appreciate you stopping by Bruce, thanks!
The wholy mine tour. That was great.
It definitely is wholy! Always appreciate you stopping by, thanks for watching!

We had to have crossed paths I checked that mine out last week too definitely worth looking at
Nope I went here two weeks ago. Now ya know what's there, I do believe I basically hit up all of it. Thanks for watching!

You seem to have a knack for finding extraordinary mines! Thanks for sharing
I try! Research and word of mouth definitely gets you to some great spots. Thanks for watching
Just awesome. Thanks for taking us along
Thanks alot! No problem, thanks for watching
You always out do yourself kid. All your explores turn out to be excellent adventures. Please stay safe and always looking forward for the next episode. !
Appreciate that man! I sure do my best to put out that great content. As always thanks for watching.
Nice one hello from Australia opal miner here :)
You never disappoint.
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching

It would be really cool if you had a bunch of pictures you could stitch together with a panoramic app and widen the view of your photos.
Great explore. Tanks so mucho :-)
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching Mick! Appreciate it.
Hi Jerith, such a scenic location with quite a few old workings. They certainly liked stoping that's for sure 😉. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
So many stopes basically the whole first mine was stopes on the one level. Crazy to see. Thanks for watching as always Sue!
Another good cardio workout good job keep up the videos
Be safe
Yep always getting a workout! Thanks for watching.
That first area sure reminded me of the hills have eyes, great find 👍
Yeah, right! I kinda thought about that too. Thanks for watching Nelson!
I thought that too! He is prepared, carries S&W but I was still concerned.
They might have used a nail in the peg board, like the one stuck in the chute next to board, I've used all sorts of items including matches, cheers, be safe. ❤
This location is brilliant! I really enjoyed this video. Thank you!
It sure is Cindy, thanks for watching!
WOW!
That's what I said as I came up on the first mine!
Woo Hoo! New Video! Nice!
Yes sir! Hope you enjoy.
Nice find!
Thanks alot man! Thanks for stopping by.
Another Awesome Western Mine Detective Video! Virginia City Nevada watching 🌞🏔🏡
Thanks for the love from VC. Appreciate that!
Really enjoy your work.
I greatly appreciate that! Thanks for watching

Swiss Cheese is the thought that comes to my mind, interesting work back in the day.
I thought the same thing, though im sure swiss cheese would have more ledt behind inside compared to this mine.
They really wanted that ore...
Most definitely! I've been into some Swiss cheese mines, but so far this one takes the cake. Thanks for watching Jim!

Definitely wasn't easy, thanks for watch as always man!
Pure will and determination it was only way it would get done.
Thanks for the video, what part of CA are you exploring?
Very nice!
Thanks alot!
That was awesome. Those mine shafts look scary
Thanks alot Naomi! The one that scared me a little was the last one, couldn't even see the bottom. People reckon it's about 400 feet deep which is crazy to think about. Thanks for watching.
Five seconds is 402.176 feet
Wow! That deep shaft probably has it share of animal bones. I don’t think I saw it enclosed with barbed wire. Nice video as usual, thanks!
I'm sure there are many skeletons down there. I didn't show on video but there was a barbed wire fence around that one. Thanks for watching!

"A massive glory hole." Hmmmm...I think I rented that video once.
yoink! I'll take that first comment slot. stay safe out there!
Nice on the first comment! I will stay safe, thanks for watching.
When reached the top and looked rt at what was left of the building.
There were some power poles
Power for mine did you see any other insulators? Besides the sm
Porcelain on the left side roof?
I collect.
I did see a broken aqua colored insulator, that was the only one I seen. I'm sure the others have been long picked through. Thanks for watching!
As unstable as the geology is there, and as much ground fall as there is, it's kind of a miracle this mine hasn't totally collapsed already. It's only 1 good earthquake away from total collapse.
Amazing mining going on there. I bet there was some heavy drinking going on with the guys who mined those claims.
I'd have to guess the same. Alot of it was not uniform and some spots were unevenly spaced out between pillars. This mine doesn't have too much time left if I had to guess. Thanks for watching!
You no you have a great show when you don't even have one dislike. Even the trolls like it. 👍
Well there's one dislike now but that doesn't matter much. Appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
Do you believe that was actually a mine?
It is 100 percent a mine, what with the rails and the fact that it shows up online as a mine. Obviously can't reveal the name
@Ju Bu -- Lol . File a Claim on it , and it can be a Yours and not a Mine . Lol .
I counted 7 seconds
I am a mine virgin so forgive for my questions. I wonder where this is located but expect that you won't say. I thought most states had to seal the mines and if so, why is this one so open?

It would be helpful if you knew what they were mining I would have not a clue
Gold was the main commodity of this one. Thanks for watching!
