In Part 2 of the Warrior-Armada series, we continue to explore the 300 Level, the mine's most extensive level. This level has over 1 mile of workings by itself and takes hours to explore! This level is also what originally connected the two mines together.
This three part series features not one, but two mines; interconnected by miles of tunnels. This video features the 200 Level of the mine. These mines were discovered in the 1800's and were worked for decades before being abandoned in the early 1900's. There is evidence showing that the mines may have been worked as recently as the 1950's. These mines produced manganese, lead, and silver as their primary commodities. The ore in the mines was some of the most interesting I have ever seen. There are dozens of examples of this site's unique geology throughout the video. These mines also proved to be full of artifacts and equipment, the highlight being a small pneumatic hoist!

The final video will be released next Monday, 3/29/21! A commenter found some information about the manufacturer of the ore car in the video. Please check out the link in the description for more details!
That one cart with a broken builders plate was built by the Risdon iron works of San Francisco, very nice find!
That ore car was "Fulton Iron Works" "Hinkley - Spiers - Hayes" They were on Fremont St. San Francsco in the late 1880s.
Yes! I knew one of y’all would know! Thank you!
@@MinesoftheWest I have an advertisement for them from 1882 (Arizona Daily Star) - but youtube won't let me post the link for some reason.
@@MinesoftheWest I posted the link in your community section on the picture you posted of the car.
@@CharlieTalmadge Hmm yeah I see the notification but RUclips is automatically removing it for security reasons I presume. I’ll try getting the link added to my video description. Thanks again!
There is a Hayes street in San Francisco.
Awesome mine, and great documentation of it as usual. Looking forward to pt3
Man this is huge. Can’t wait for next video.
Your videos are awesome! Sir, thanks for sharing. Stay safe👍🤜⚡🤛🤘
The gallon bottle had Coke syrup in it. In the the 30 to the 60 they had fountain sodas they would put in concentrated syrup in a glass and then add carbonated water to it.
Outstanding find. the shot up the incline reminds of the one that just happens to be close to a 2400 deep vert. shaft in Nevada. I kinda thought this intersects, but since its flooded at the 500, well maybe so, if its the one i seen, of course it was a rope entry. The headframe was a leaner and kinda scary. Huh, well damn, guess i will find out soon then, heading back in about a month or two.
Man, Frank from @Exploring Abandoned Mines would go nuts over those mine carts and artifacts in this mine. I love the Coke Cola Syrup jug & the canteen next to the windless roller.
NEW SUBCRIBER. I first met my acquaintance with mines when I visited the Colorado School of Mines. I figured since you were mixing it up with all that mine dust, you might be into scatology. Those miners had their dump stations. Fascinating video. 👍. Eaglegards...
Hi, so many artefacts left in there, I wonder why they were dismantling the ore cars ??. A very cool explore, I'm looking forward to part 3. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
Brilliant Video All The Best Of Health And Happiness To Everybody And Also To Your RUclips Channel As Well.
Thank you! Hope the same for you!
Also for you NEIL Urwin, stay strong, stay save, in those crazy times!!!Skål!!!👍🤜⚡🤛🤘
Weirdly I just wanted to ask so ever spooked down on those mines? It just came to me feeling like that could happen.as possibility
great stills
wow great interesting mine is it.great finds. so much stuff they ve left behind.
Nice✌🏻tnx.🖖🏻
The nameplate is cast iron, that's why it cracked, steel would have bent under stress.
What does the door read on 13:15? No esconder (Don't hide) la pal.... (can't read it)
Ore car may have been built by Fulton Iron Works in SF, founded by a distant ancestor of mine who west from Massachusetts and founded an iron works(many Hinckley's were involved in the iron business in the 19th century from Maine to California)..."Born in Worcester, MA in 1826, Daniel B. Hinckley first came to California in 1850, where he, an uncle and an elder brother set up a foundry...according to an 1892 advertisement, it produced stamp mills, amalgamating pans, settlers, furnaces, retorts, rock breakers, concentrators, ore feeders, stationary engines, marine engines, pulverizers, Llewellyn Iron Works heaters (under license), Huntington Roller Mill and Manufacturing mills (under license), hoisting works, ore buckets, water buckets, cages and mining cars."An earlier(or possibly later), name of the company was "Hinckley , Spiers & Hayes".
More titanic references in the future please 😉
In the Rhyolite area near Beatty Nevada, there's old mines all over the place...I learned that to walk into these abandoned mine tunnels can easily cost you your life 💀... Lots of old sticks of dynamite lying about... After all the time they have been there certainly means you can set one off by just touching it.Stepping on hundred year old dynamite is like a land mine.The nitro glycerin crystalizes and migrates to the outside of the dynamite stick... Anything, no matter how lite the contact is usually results in someone getting blown up... Very unstable and sensitive to the slightest vibration... Nitro glycerin and clay are what dynamite sticks are made of... Personal experience speaking here... Please, don't enter without a local guide who knows how to get in and out of the safe and stable mine tunnels...
Truth!!!!🙏
Got to use caution and common sense in these kinds of places, explored quite a few mines up there in Rhyolite, some awesome rocks with fossilized plants in some of them
Those jugs were sold as syrup for soda fountains.
That coke jug was coke syrup to make coke a cola drink or for stomach remedies. Great video. Thank you. Neat ore cart.
Good your not by yourself. Interesting mine.
@1:08 Coke jug $30.00+ with Cap Almost never seen. Most used in 1940's-50's. The Lot # on the Jug ( 7L130107 )can be checked at coke.
@@wyomarine6341 I appreciate the additional insight. What makes you think that we don’t know what these items are? Your comment implies that you think I’m doing this as a full time job? If so, you’re wildly mistaken. Researching locations, traveling, visiting and filming the locations, then editing my footage takes dozens of hours. So no, I do not have the time to meticulously research every single artifact I find. Thankfully, I have some awesome viewers, like John above, who are happy to provide additional information if possible. Perhaps you should make videos if you have so much experience!
@@wyomarine6341 Could you provide some specific examples from some of my other videos? I’m not going to pretend I am an archaeologist, and I agree that my knowledge could be improved. But I hope you understand that I have a full time job and a life outside of video-making. This is RUclips, you have some high expectations! I’ve been making videos for 10 years and if I wanted to make money I would have quit this a long time ago. I simply enjoy making videos...
Mines of the West tries really hard to be correct, but it's hard. He has always been different than other boys, things were harder for him growing up. He is really a sweet kid, he just needs some more time to discover himself.
@@GabeCangelosi Thanks dad
I suppose at 14:23, 1958 is kind of old, well that's the year I was born.
Me too.
@1:00 Coca Cola gallon jug: $12-$25 on eBay...
Need more light while filming
Here's some good advice for safety for exploring the mines no yelling in the mines it could cause a collapse and speak more clearly because it is a little bit difficult to understand you
Surprising that the ore cars are still there since it would be easy to pull them back up the manway.
I bet you’d love to go and steal these artifacts, you’re nothing but a common thief that pretends to be doing good under the guise of “saving history “ these things are going nowhere in a dry mine like this, they’re better preserved there than in someone’s yard or in a warehouse building going by the name of a “museum”. They lose all context once you take them away. Keep you’re money peddling artifact steeling crap to yourself and let the few decent people that explore these miens to actually preserve the history and not just exploit it for profit do their thing.
Why is it the Explorers in their Sunset years promote the removal of artifacts while the younger Generations all love preserving them in place? It must be that selfish 'all about me' that gives the Boomers a bad name with the younger kids, or searching for relevance in their Autumn years
Don't listen to these tools, they don't speak for the younger generation. Keep up the awesome videos. And if you find anything cool in an abandoned unclaimed mine go ahead and take it. It'll last longer in a house or storage then in a (dry) mine where even there it will still rust and deteriorate.
@@ridgecrestwack9746 spoken like someone that has never actually explored a mine. I am the younger generation and some of us still want to be able to see cool things inside these mines not locked up in someone’s house or private collection to fade into forgotten time and discarded when the person loses interest or dies and their kids don’t care. I’d love to be able to take my own kids if I have them into mines and show them the tools and equipment used by our ancestors and their many accomplishments. These dry desert mines are literally perfect time capsules timber’s look like they say they were cut and things stay how they were when left. You take this out and put it in someone’s yard it loses all context and will be even more exposed to the elements. There’s already back logs and warehouse full at museums with these things of that’s how you want to see them. We don’t need anymore removed and especially not by people for their private collections
@@austinputnam24 “spoken like someone who’s never been in a mine” I live in kern county bud 😂 exploring abandoned mines is the norm here and most of the original miners still around would agree with me. Most of these “mines” you want to take your kids into won’t be open by that point. Not to mention taking your kid into an abandoned mine is reason one why you shouldn’t reproduce. And no these “dry” desert mines aren’t actual time capsules, they help but the objects and timbers inside still deteriorate eventually. To me it sounds like you don’t know jack sh*t about mines. BTW in order for a mine to even be close to being an actual time capsule would require it having no access or contact with the outside world. No air. No portal. No EnTrAnCe.... So yeah no that's just a false idea you picked up from watching too many mine exploration videos. Gtfo.
