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”: I produced this video before learning of Jeff’s father’s passing and even though I never met Roy Williams, I’ve always felt that he was similar in character to my own father. Let’s all take a moment to remember our fathers who have passed on, as they smile down upon us from the happy hunting grounds and heavenly hills full of gold. Please enjoy this tribute to Roy Williams: ruclips.net/video/5GSMOMXsPUM/видео.html
And may we also remember it is 9/11.
Rip Roy.🙏
Well said Gly ... My father has long gone, but has left me a wealth of knowledge.
I lost my Dad to esophageal cancer 14 years ago, hard to believe it was that long ago, he was quiet, mild mannered and only ever hated two things as he always told me;...."Never lie and never steal" Fathers are sorely underrated in this sad day and age...God bless them all!
Lost my dad to colon and liver cancer in 99. He had a passion for fishing and his grandkids. He would enjoy your videos gly.
Thanks Gly, really appreciate that . Can't thank you enough for giving us a shout out and taking a moment to remember my Father Roy , He was the best Dad a son could ever hope to have . I will truly miss him . Thank you.
Jeff, sorry for your loss. He sounds like he was an absolute titan of a man! I hope you find some solace scratching in that dirt and pulling out saucy nuggets of delight.
“we gonna get wet”
Hi Jeff, my condolences to You and your Family, I lost my Mother on the 31st of July so I know how hard it is to lose a parent, much love. xx 🙏
“Gly”: Your welcome Jeff, have a great week!
@@Kevin.odonnell thank you and yes he was
loved the little narrative on Maurice Sullivan, and the Woods Sullivan Comp. , I'm sure you can't find history of every mine, but that little history lesson was just a really nice touch, thank you for all the videos, glad your back to "being healthy" once again
Love the historical information that is just the sort of thing that adds so much to the story of these mines. I can visualize the miners coming up out of this mine for the last time climbing into a freight wagon and riding off.
I don't know how you fit down these mineshafts with your gigantic cajones. 😆 I could never do what you do, simply amazing. Thank you for all of your hardwork, knowledge and professionalism. Extremely high quality.
Gly, Watched Jeff's Father's Tribute to His Dad, Roy Williams - So Much History - That Should Never Be Forgotten as 09/11, Thank You for ALL You Do ! God Bless and Stay Safe...Long Time Viewer.
Cementing gypsum slows the rate at which cement hardens. The more gypsum, the slower Portland cement sets. It is also used as a fluxing agent for nickel ores as it is used to form a slag which floats on the molten metal or matte.
The drone video in the beginning is primo. I can say all I know about mining comes from channels like this one. Mines have become "real" and logical environments to me. Now when I look inside a computer hard drive or think about the elements contained in circuit chips and boards, I think about the folks ho had to dig this stuff out of the ground and how the Earth is truly a bountiful thing to call home. Thanks to all who brigs these videos to us.
That whole collar is incredible! It's sort of finger-jointed the whole way down, it all ties together just like a massive dynamite box. And the hidden genius behind it is that gap, looks like about an inch. No sacrifice in strength and every 12 gaps saves a 12 inch board.. It adds up. Thanks so much for this video, stay well.
Jeff Williams, Master of Beans lol That guy's enthusiasm is insane, I've never seen someone that into what they do.
Gly says: "Randy ... the landings are great" (except for the first one which only has support under one leg of the ladder)
Keith Jackson, I noticed that also, someone should fix it by nailing a board across under the one that has no support so that that ladder will not crack and someone could get killed or injured, looks like an easy fix.
It always amazes me how solid the wood is in some of these mines you go down in the dry desert air. I'm in the UK and my garden shed is only 7 years old and it's disintegrating.
Love to all! Happy Saturday!
Chuckle..... Chuckle... Awesome ending. I'd be exhausted also. Keep em coming. Glad to see you active again.
That was absolutely fascinating and very informative. The people have really enjoyed and appreciated this. It was kind of you to mention Jeff Williams, a fascinating man and his sense of humour is magnificent.
Fun! I get that the extra time treasure hunting was partly because there was nothing else to explore, but it sure was fun to watch and you found some stuff you probably would have missed. Plus the deeper dive into Mr. Sullivan was really interesting. That was the date stamp you were looking for.
Randy walking around down there with his bag wide open on his back and his phone loosely in his back pocket puts me on edge!!!!😂
I always enjoy your videos and being able to “explore vicariously” through you but I have to say that this video in particular was over the top: the added extras of the “2 hours later” voice (hilarious) and you sprawling flat out doing your outro was awesomely entertaining.
Some really cool stuff in this one. I loved the signatures on the wood. I notice how they all were written in cursive and not printed, just like they were taught back in the old days. Not only that, but I love the old history of our country and the mining days. Times had to be hard then, but they made it through just fine. I watch Jeff's channel also, and he really has a lot of good info and does some fun stuff also. I'm really sorry to hear about his Dad.
At first I thought it was a 400ft ladder you were going down. Happy to see it was in sections. I was like why aren't they roping down that. 🤣
It was predictable the mine was short or collapsed by halfway through the video you guy just reached the bottom. Thanks again for sharing 😊.
What a huge effort to achieve two short nothings. What the heck were they trying to find but they missed so spectacularly! Just the cost of the lumber and the labor to dig the shaft, WOW. They really did get the shaft on this job! Thanks for working your tails off to show us what was there!!
Finally! Another video! Looking forward to see what’s in store for us today!
Yes! A new adventure! Wait where’s…. Oh there’s Mr. M with helpful yet playfully insulting comments and Bicycle helmet Randy right on cue as well lol. Love you guys and your content! Hey if you folks haven’t go check out Abandoned and Forgotten Footage!!!
Gly you look 10 lbs lighter just coming out of that shaft! ;P Thanks for another great explore. Wonder if the old timers ran out of money buying timber being such a small group.
Jeff is awesome So C mon Lets Go!!! Very Knowledgeable, his father was obviously a great teacher and father. There is one other person i have been watching a lot of his name is Nick Zenther he is an instructor and is a sharp cookie. Thank you for all you do and show us I enjoy very much watching your channel!! I'm also very glad your health is better. Thanks again
I have been watching "y'all" a long time and you do a great job. I hope you can do it for many years to come. Keep safe.
32:00 Damn Randy spittin knowledge
Your huffing and puffing sounds like me going from the couch to the fridge! LOL. Great video, loved the story of the mining store and the sponge bob parts! Thanks Gly and Randy.
Hi Gly, my wife and I love your show. Mr. M and Randy also. I was thinking that Mr M could do a show on your camera rig. Very curious about your set up. Thanks, Randy and Kathy Hampton
Thanks for coming on this fantastic adventure! As he falls on the ground gasping for air hahahahaha! Great video!
Wow! A lot of work in the mine for zero ore produced! Thank you for another episode Gly, Mr. M, and Randy! Hopefully, Gly will recover for another episode! What a climb.
Seconding the other compliments about researching Woods Sullivan. In fact you could lead off with these background histories, it would give the whole following episode so much added context and flavor.
Some really great artifacts that Randy found. Enjoyed all the history, as well. Thank you.
Dimensional lumber actual 2x6’s 3x10’s that’s a well built collar, Mine Carpenters/Construction Hands are some of the best! Thanks Gly, Randy and Jeff for another great mine explore.
Good to see ya feeling spry there Gly. Jeff Williams is good people. Mr. M and Randy too!
Thar's GOLD in that there mine...that 'Willy Wonka' comment was COMEDY gold! XD
Welcome back! Hope you are well! STAY that way! With many smiles, laughs and sharing! Thx
Thanks for the great content. Look forward to the videos every week so keep up the great work.
This was a great video as always. I love the ending where you just fall down to the ground 😂 lol your too much Gly.
So interesting they put so much work in for so little pay out. Thanks so much for sharing! It is the highlight of every weekend for me!
Great episode, very interesting, thank you Gly, Mr.M and Randy
Love this video as I do all of you're videos. That skinny man way wasn't able to stop you or Randy. Great explore.
Gly, I believe I've mentioned that I recently moved to Winnemucca, Nevada and living in the desert off grid and loving it with the exception of the extreme heat we've had all summer.
We finally had a beautiful and cooler day to go exploring yesterday. My daughter, granddaughter and I got in my pickup and drove a short distance from where we live (daughter had been there before I moved here). There's a mountain across the way from me where there appears to be more than one adit (Not to worry, we didn't go near that one as it's too darn steep looking for this 64 year old mom and grandma) and we are actually rock hunting. We found some real beautiful pieces. We had been up the road further and again saw what appeared to be adits but as we walked closer we discovered they were maybe just test areas or something. They were very shallow and not hard rock. They're extremely crumbly and I cannot remember what you had called that stuff. The area is almost all that crumbly. I cannot imagine anyone trying to mine in that.
Great video, glad to see you back in the saddle. Great views. Would love to just sit on the side of the rock pile and watch you guys!
Good to see you back Gly. I hope you are ok. Hi MrM. Randy is a good partner. Stay well
There is information available about gypsum use in mines, but none of it would apply to that particular mine as groundwater doesn't appear to be a problem there. Thanks for all the effort fellas, not much reward for your hard work.
"Why are these manways built so small?" --Gly, you know the answer! Day-to-day miners never even had the chance of getting very overweight!
Glad you are hale and hearty again, and thanks for this explore! (Even though it turned out this was, as they would say in the oil patch, a 'dry hole'!)
Dang, Gly, you just get back on your feet, and then tackle 400 feet of ladders! Glutton for punishment. Loved the historical facts and pictures. Hope you got a nap after that.
Man. I was wore out after you climbed all those ladders. Good job👍🏻🌵
such a ham, loved the ending. i like how randy looks so closely at everything.
Great episode guys. Keep up the fantastic work. Love this channel.
Great to see you guys 👦 out and about again 😀 👍 👏....all that work for a short but sweet 😉 mine thank you guys very much 😀 😊 👍 and here to help get your videos 📹 out to everyone 😀 😊
Good morning guys stay safe out there. y'all are awesome 😎
Intro scene dropping down the shaft was SIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!! Keep it up guys, great stuff as always!
Well even though the mine "Played Out" what you did find though was a wealth of information! Over 100 years old! Would not have thought that by looking at the condition of the wood. When things are stored away from sun and heat they preserve nicely. Thank you, enjoyed it.
Hi Gly! I love your video its like watching a nice movie in a theater ,image is so nice that it look like i am down there with you,love the intro btw... thumb's up again!!
Go to see things are back to normal with this channel really love it take care guys love from England
Loved the ending of this video, some neat history, and a great way to sign off, was good humor :)
Gly my man, you have talent.
You cease to impress.
AND YOU HAVE THE MOST AMAZING NARRATOR VOICE!!!
THE QUALITY OF THESE IS UNMATCHED!!!
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
Thanks Gly and Randy and Mr M nice 👌 video .Wow years of work diging that shaft for a worthless shaft and mine someone lost a lot of money . Thanks 😊 from Randy a different one
Wow another fantastic video Sir. You always make me laugh. 400 feet up, I think I would do the same thing as you did. 400 feet is roughly equivalent to a 40 story building. Fantastic job.
Thanks for another great video! What a disappointment for the miners. All that work for nothing! I hope you can catch your breathe in time for the next mine. : )
That was a expensive mine wow, a long way down and nowhere too go, but still a very nice explore with some nice info at the end, nice job Gly.
Ya’ll are amazing!! Thank you for all the knowledge.
BTW. I would love to go cave exploring with Randy. I just love you guys.
That`s a long long way back up. Just glad you guys made it okay. That mine was a lot of work for nothing, for you two also.
Absolutely amazing fun and exciting video as always! Love the channel and will be looking for your Patreon
Really interesting , what a climb , what a work out for you guys , awesome video , thanks for sharing 👍🙂
Not to make fun of your anguish and pain to make that 400 ft. ladder climb but watching you crawl out of that hole and passing out on the ground made me laugh for about 5 or ten min. I'm sure you weren't fully aware of what it would take to climb 400 ft of ladders and more power to you for this attempt. I have been living vicariously and humorously through you and Jeff W. these last two years and many thanks for that! Kudos to you and the crew (Mr. M, Randy) for persevering through the rough patches and continuing to make interesting (if not funny) content. I like that you are letting a knowledgeable fellow like Randy cut loose a little more down there.
I laughed hard on the end. Glad you guys still have a sense of humor.
I get the feeling that that wasn't really a mine. Instead, someone's wife said, "I'm sick of all this lumber lying around here. If you don't get rid of it by Tuesday, we're through!"
🤣🤣🤣
Yep, they just decided to build a "Mancave".
"I think when this mine closed down, the workers went to work at Willie Wonka's chocolate factory"
- randy
lol \m/\m/
I can't believe nobody else commented on Randy's funny comment. 😂
I sure laughed out loud 😂
That's an impressive show you are doing guys.
Best end ever since the 1st episode. LMAO.
After a long day at work, coming home and chilling out while listening to my fighting Irish barely win, what a perfect way to end the day. As skinny as this ol squirrel is, I'd have been just right to scale down the ladders. I'd have been too pooped to pop after I climbed back out just like you. Have a great week.
( Irish Squirrel)
Cool history! Love learning things
gads what load of climbing, thanks for the tour, and effort
Hi from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures and everyone else
Like the hidden Door notice the handle upper right side of door 🚪😉🤣!!! Only if it were true 👍😉 Randy's cutting down The donuts now after I bet!!
Wow, you guys are just nailing those intros. That bullet cam preview is a great addition 👌 it all plays well 2gthr.
Great video, it was fascinating along with a history lesson!
As always a good interesting Historical Video
Thanks again Gly awesome video. Love watching your adventures 👍. TrickyTrev Oz🇦🇺👍
Thanks for the vid. I particularly liked the ending, absolutely spent.
SUCH A COOL INTRO THIS VIDEO! I cannot believe how much old growth timber is down there!
23:40 he really gave a good example of a fear micro expression lol. I don’t blame him, the thought of dying in a mine, especially suffocating, terrifies me.
I just can't get over how casual you guys were about the brown recluse!!!
Hello Gly Mr.M and Randy
A very small mine with a great shaft .
I wonder what happens there
So much work and than stop
But you use the time Down n
Below Well and you discoverd a piece of history .
Well done
Take care all of you have a good week
Yours Frank Galetzka
Love the finish GLY, I can so relate.
That was hilarious at the end. U guys rock! Y'all looking for a date were moving so fast I couldn't keep up. Them drifts looked so promising, but then there was nothing, absolutely nothing. No ore, no really cool artifacts, no ghosts, just gypsum. Lmao with this one. That shaft was consteucted really well, just don't think they took much ore out. Looks like the miners put that shaft in yesterday. Take care and be good to one another.
Nice looking mine. Lots of great wood.
Thanks for providing the name for my old Jeep: "Plumb Bob!"
Awesome channel some videos keep you on the edge of your seat
One of those times, where the reward is in the journey. Stay safe out there boys.
Wow, someone had a friend who owned a timber mill 🙂 so much wood and not much tunnel.
Nice day out thou .
See you guys next week
Pete Australia
THAT was very entertaining. Great work out too...
great video gly , i was surprised at how old the mine was ,the effort going in to digging that shaft and timbering it out not to mention getting the timber up there in the 1st place only to find nothing those old boys must have been gutted and probably paid for there efforts in later life with ill health associated with mining
Wow what an intro, thought it was fake, but Wow. You guys are very funny to boot.
Love the Heroic Adventurer music on the "Previously..." segment.
Awesome video thank you guys so much i think this video was about selling wood all that work for nothing when I saw Randy put on his backpack i knew it was going to be a good day the ending of his video was the best had me rolling on the floor and I have some extra work for you guys I’m looking for some wood to build my house just keep it in mind from your Canadian family stay safe
My uncle had the ranch at Lida about 40-50 miles south of Goldfield from the late 70s till 2001.
While walking across the coral one day I found a copper coin the size of a penny struck in 1908 by the McCann Drug and Mercantile of Goldfield.
Killer boyz!!!!! Thanks Thats a great intro
Another great video
