For the first time on Abandoned & Forgotten Places I've implemented... maps!
Well... actually, (a map). Yeah, it's rudimentary but it's a start and its something I'd like to experiment with more in post production in the future.
A 3D rendering of the mines I explore utilizing software called Cinema 4D will eventually be the ultimate goal of the channel. I've looked into "lidar" mapping systems (as you guys have suggested) but it's just too expensive and it would require me to explore the mine twice and that's something I just don't want to do because I would be doubling my risk exposure in these areas. Because of how dangerous these places can sometimes be, the goal is to capture the entire exploration with only one visit.

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”: On screen maps is a new experimental feature and I’d appreciate your input good or bad. The biggest problem I see with OSM is the image is too small if your viewing on a phone or tablet but if your viewing on a PC or smart TV at 4K resolution the map is sharp and clear. Your thoughts?
You could put the map image on a website with link in description, and let people flip back and forth if they want to see high resolution. For inside the mine, low-res transparent overlay would be good enough. Also, if it's transparent you can do 3D, when you get that far.
I couldn't read the text on my PC screen (shit connection, 720p maxes me out) but it was still good enough to see the layout, which was interesting as I was noticing geology (I think?) marked on the map.
Good 👍
It's surprisingly helpful.
And I could see it well enough, (with my aging eyesight 😇) using my tablet. ✌
Love it
Showing it when you first walk in is really good. Seeing the left hand wall is important to me so only show the map again when something is needed. Otherwise it is in the way.(Just me , maybe no one else) I'm watching on my computer monitor, a 60" LED TV.
Still the best mine exploring show on the internet and getting better, thanks Gly!
Word 🤜 💥 🤛
It's the _only_ one, (out of how many?) that I watch or subscribe to ✌
nobody does it like Gly!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s exceptional in his field
I like how we get a perspective on how far we are into the mine now.
The powers of editing will make videos like his more attractive to other viewers on this site.
Agree!
Gly thanks so much for recommending Itchy Boots! Noraly is great, we love her adventures. So happy she made it to USA 🇺🇸
Yes, Itchy Boots is great, now one of my favorites along with Gly.
Wow! Love those narrated drone shots. I also liked the map inset on the video - great idea. Definitely a huge mine with seemingly little to show for a massive effort. Thanks for another episode Gly!
Good Saturday morning Gly, looking forward to another awesome episode of Mine exploration.
🤗💞👍
I really enjoy these videos. You're like the Bob Ross of mine exploring. Learning the history of these mines you explore is a real treat. It really allows you to imagine how life would have been like for these miners back in those days. Thanks for everything you do.
“Gly”: Thanks! All that’s missing is some tiny little trees and happy little clouds.
Perhaps u should try to paint young Gly...
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces LOL, it's a matter of adaptation- happy little flowstone trails, happy little timbers, etc.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces make friends with a tree
27 seconds!, looking forward to the Music, as much as the mines. What amazes me is how small drones and their high-definition cam’s have become.
Those on-screen maps are brilliant, such a simple thing adds so much to the experience. Videos keep getting better and better!
Thanks again Gly, really appreciate the videos! I love full-screening the 4k, great work!
I love your videos, Gly! The map is kind of nice even though it obscures a fair chunk of the frame.
Unsolicited idea: Add a full frame HD image of the map in the beginning for reference, and then use a transparent (50% opacity) overlay of the map for marking your progress in the remainder of the video, perhaps?
“Gly”: Thanks! It’s a work in progress.
I had had the exact same thought. I love seeing the overlay but it does obscure too much. However, Gly will get it right, he always does.
Gly, Thank you for staying in the same abandoned mine exploration, I love your takes and everything you tell us. Keep em' Coming!! Stay Heathy!
Love the map addition.. Another great video on Saturday morning. Wow what a waste rock pile! Stay safe Gly.
Love the map feature, as always great work Gly, thank you sharing your time, knowledge, and interests with us. I am so glad I found your channel on youtube.
Love the Map and notes. Great Adder! Thanks, as always, for a reason to get up early on a Saturday morning.
A little Jeep-Juice for Bob. Love the history of the West, and the drone footage. I could watch this every Saturday.
I remember when I was a kid, we took a vacation up to New England. Aw we were driving through the "mountains", my dad told, then showed me that all the mountains we were driving through were waste rock/tailings/slag piles from all the coal mining. It STILL blows me away that it was all man made and yet for the most part, looked like natural mountains.
I was thinkin' how that waste rock pile may puzzle geologists in the far future. :D
My guess is it only went that deep because the engineer was hoping to redeem himself somewhere along the line. Incredible how straight and flat that adit was that you could see the light from the face. Outstanding video Gly, thank you.
G'day Gly, I've enjoyed loads of this channel. The new features are very helpful, though the bell for the map at half the volume is still an eye jerking ding in the head
My medicated mental illness doesn't help with sensitivity to shock (surprised), being symptoms from PTSD. Possibly could the map appear, then the bell or a new unique personalised sound (preferably not a fart)
“Gly”: Ok, thanks for your input!
Yay a new Gly Video! Stay safe and have a blessed adventure Gly! From North Texas 🇺🇲
It always amazes me the struggles that the old- timers went through to produce a mine high in the mountains It's amazing that the walls can talk.⛏
Gly my man you just keep getting better and better I love seeing your upload pop up stay safe down there 👍
At 25:52 is "YOU ARE HERE". Really like the onscreen map, Thanky.
Another fantastic episode. Saturday mornings are always better with gly coolness 👍
That drone is insanely awesome. Such a huge asset to the channel. That was one big lizard near the entrance.
The addition of a mine map is always interesting, but may I suggest just popping it up at major junctions or features? As you have it, it blocks too much of the view. Bring it up for only occasionally and do it full screen so us old, half blind guys can actually read it, then move on.
“Gly”: Thanks! Yeah, it’s a work in progress but I’m afraid that anyone watching on a smartphone or tablet the map will be too small and unreadable no matter what I do. If your watching on a PC or smart TV the map feature works well.
Best mining explore show on RUclips
Great video Gly, thanks!
today's drone footage was just amazing!
You have to bring Frank with you. He would go up in all those drifs . Lol. You almost could have driven Bob down that one. Lol. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe my friend 🙏♥️
Okay, like a bunch of other folks, I LOVED the Map Overlay on the side showing us the progress. Good stuff!
I would NEVER go in there myself, but it was like stepping back in history.
Your pants look like they're fitting loose. Looking good! Great explore!
Holy cow that was a huge rock pile. I love watching your videos thank you for your hard work showing us mines that i know I'll never get to see because i can't walk more than 5 minutes before the pain gets bad
Thanks! Excellent program again. Your aerial views are getting really amazing. Keep up the good work!!!
Gly, The3 on-screen maps of the mines are an excellent addition to your channel. I'm surprised Frank and Sharon haven't done the same with their explorations. Give it time and other mine explorers will be doing the same as you with on-screen maps. Later I can see you coming up with 3D on-screen maps to give some idea of the scope of the mines in elevation and distance from the portal(s).
I loved the color of that rock in that mine. Stay safe ❤️🙏
Hey speedy Gly, great video. Thanks for showing some highlights, loved it.
Thank's Gly was fun next one Spandex!!!😂😅
keep up the good work, you are creator of great videos,
Hello Gly, I like how you incorporated the mine map and a "you are here" dot to help us gain a deeper understanding of the size and scale of these mines. Also between 25:40-25:54 where you are discussing the slickenslides area, it appears there was something carved into the rib and was curious it that was some mine graffiti? Finally, what music did you use for this weeks video?
Nother good sat. show. Thanks Mr. Coolness! 😊
Thank for all your content. Keep safe
Good Morning Gly, love that Drone....Spectacular...Nice of someone to put up a welcome sign..😝...Nice hanging wall.............Too bad the Artifacts have been Jacked........Enjoyed the video........JB.
The comment about lumber mills in the area tells me that at one time there was quite a bit of timber covering those hills. Given the amount of water in the mine it isn't surprising that it was much greener in the late 1800's. Cutting off most of the timber changed the local climate so that now it is much more arid on the surface and it will take many years before it might return to what it once was like.
I grew up in the Outer Banks, N.C. People are usually amazed to learn that the islands stretching out into the sea were once lush and forested. Now they are all basically sand dunes. Sadly deforested over the last several centuries in order to build ships up and down the islands for fishing, pirating, etc. California was basically deforested of Sequoia up and down the coasts to build its large cities. Like the Outer banks and Nevada proves, unless man intervenes or disappears completely, they will likely stay barren.
@@CokeCheese Good comment, something I didn't know about , at least the outer banks, since I lived in Calif for a long time. Mankind was slow to understand, or maybe wanted to ignore the realities of what trees grew where and why they did. A good example is the state of Oregon. In the NW and on the west side of the Cascade Mts., there is a lot of rainfall and the predominant tree is the Douglas Fir. They grow like weeds and they grow fairly fast. On the east side of the Cascades it is much drier because of the rain shadow and the predominant tree is Ponderosa Pine. Lumbering cut the Pine trees and of course they didn't grow back quickly without mans assistance which was slow to happen. Early lumber mills competed for who could produce the most lumber in a year with no regard for sustained forestry. We are starting to figure it out, but changes in climate also has an effect over many centuries.
Nice find Gly, beautiful country.
I did notice some more possible adventures just above where you were 🙂.
See you next week 👍

A "Bluebird" colored sky day like you always say. Shale mixed in means all this soil was compressed, at one time, by water and then the as the water receded, left behind this mud or Shale. At 18:29, re: motorcycle tracks, bet you felt like you could use that mode of transportation at that point, being you walked a goodly distance!! At 22:38, I haven't strolled thru myself, personally......ha,ha. What were these miners searching for? Silver? The walls don't look like "Silver" host rock....hmm. Its always "fun" walking along with you Gly. Thanks for the "explore".
For reference, I am watching this on a desktop with a 27" monitor in 720p. I could not read the text on the map but I still greatly appreciated the map as a great feature. It adds another layer of information as to what is going on and where things are happening. I hope that Gly can do it in future episodes when possible.
wow another great one, going by your figures that mine could have been half a mile long , or more....
Love that butler bell. It made me hungry for room service...
“Gly”: Makes me hungry for Cherry Pop Tarts.
@7:22 nice lizard in portal entry! :)
A lumber mill? Wow, it must have been, a very different climate, back then. I looks like Juniper and Pinyon Pine now.
Nice tunnel there! This was long and big.
That "chart" or map, (or whatever lol) is surprisingly helpful. 👍
I love the mine maps, however not a big fan of the ding sound effect every time it pops up! Keep up the good work, always look foward to a new upload. My daughter and I love watching!☺️
“Gly”: Thanks for your input!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces agreed, no ding please!
Yes please. Just such a high pitch and very loud. I think these are peaceful, relaxing type videos and hearing the ding every 30 seconds sometimes just really took away from the video.
Map is awesome though. Just like everything else!!
I like the map. It helps to see where you are at.
I'm always able to gauge my walking distance using the scale I came up with from a girl. There were 12 city blocks to make one mile. Gly's walk today I judge at alittle more than 1/2 mile in and then again out. We walked most places "back in those days" and again thru my teen yrs. My love & interest in geology had me walking the hills in Wyo looking for interesting rocks and minerals. Love being in the great outdoors.
It truly amazes me that you can see from one end to the other. Thats quite the straight line. It seems to me that it would have to produce something to warrent that much work. Who finances something like this it had to be expensive?
“Gly”: It was certainly a monumental waste of money.
Like Gly said, It can be a wasted venture. If mining was guaranteed to be profitable, everybody would be doing it or corporations would dominate. You have to be a good prospector and trust your assay. It's a big risk with a potential for big reward
Crazy good Drone footage.
Definitely a sweet drone! Excellent filming... Gly, it just gets better & better! Thx!
That engineer was high rolling snake eyes and box cars.. Crapped out.
I so enjoy traveling thru your adventure. Thank you ever so much.
Hello Gly
Thank you for the Video
This Tunnel has a bad Feeling but that is my Feeling
Thank you for your work looking forward what comes next
Your Frank Galetzka
Love the map
That giant pile and it started with a single scoop! Gotta be a million scoops!!
Great show 👏
Must have been a government mine, lots of time, lots of money and all you get is a tunnel to nowhere.
Really don't care for the dinger thing Gly ! I keep thinking the bread is done ! ✔️😅😂🤣😎
I like the map. It helps understand the distance traveled etc…. Great addition!
Map inset is a great feature.
Liked the live map, cool idea
Love the inset map!!
Thanks Gly! Your videos are my adult version of Saturday morning cartoons!!
Good morning from Eastern Kentucky, What a great way to start my day off. Thank you Gly for another great video.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Definitely liked the map addition, as others noted it helps with perspective. Also liked it fading when you came to an interesting feature.
That's one heck of a waste rock pile! 🪨
Always go to the end. Can't tell how many times have gone to the end just to find a 90 at the wall. Never assume it ends.😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🚛
LOL . . . Better than ♫ Workin' In A Coal Mine ♫
The price on that drone is unbelievable!!!
Gly, I LIKE the mapping feature you've added. Our "mental GPS" tells us - in general - where we are, but you're there while we're watching the computer screen. That feature REALLY ADDED to the realism of the size and depth of the mine, and where we were, relative to the entrance, etc. Good job, Maynard!
So, that was NOT a ceiling collapse at the back, but a slippage of mud and water through a fault? I must have missed where you discussed that in the past. Interesting. I can see how and why it happened... again, thanks to your expertise.
NO, Do Not go where it's dangerous. I'm not a thrill seeker like that 'other guy and his wife.' I much prefer your style of 'education, along with exploration.' I think I speak for all of us when I say --- we want you around for the long haul, not the first person beyond the next collapse. You're the best at this... the very best, and Saturday mornings with your shows are one of the highlights of my week!
“Gly”: Thanks Carl! There’s another 3000 feet of mine past that fault gauge and I’m going to attempt to find it in a future video. I’m certain I know where the shaft is but it’s nearly 1400 feet deep to that haulage level and I’d be really surprised if it still has an intact manway. Most likely it’s all flooded down there and I can only imagine just how much water is welled up behind that clay plug. If you tried to dig it out you’d probably be spit out the haulage adit like water chasing through a soda straw. Lol
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Not to mention the hydaulic overpressure, mud and debris you would be riding in! Kind of like a flash flood on steroids - in a tunnel.
The map was helpful. Thanks for another great mine exploration!
Good morning Gly! Can't believe the stability and clarity of the drone you are using. Wow! I enjoyed my coffee this AM watching your video. Please stay safe!
bro, your production quality 👌
Thanks for another epic adventure can't wait for more 👏👍✌️
Wow astounding !!!!!
I enjoy your videos very much, but, like scuba diving you should never explore alone. Keep up the good work. Be safe.
I think the maps take up a bit too much real estate of the screen, especially when fully opaque. It is still visible when the opacity is lower (maybe
“Gly”: Thanks for your input!
Agree- kinda distracting
Thanks, Gly, safe journeys and explores.
A long deep mine. I got to watch early this week. Not working due to a spouse who just tested positive for covid. Its good to stay home and catch up on the honey do list. Good episode!!
Great explore, but wow that drone. Great addition to the narrative.
First off I have watched all your videos, I absolutely love them… the new drone footage is stunning. One thing though the bing on the map is a little distracting, not a criticism just a note. But the map is great, not sure where you get them from but would love to see more.
Waterfall mine dangerous ! This mine ? Ducking the fog? Stormy. 😂🤗 that was a long adit !!!❤
25:53 something was written on the wall where you were talking about the area you didn't like.
Enjoyed the episode 👌
Even though there wasn't alot of treasures the Explorer was indeed interesting 😀
the drone shots were especially great............more please!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would be sooo amazing if the back half would be accessible. Or would be made accessible in future :-D
Pretty safe mine. Glad to see you out and about. Stay safe. See you.
great to see you in there gly ,,keep en coming
Love the addition of the map!
