Riding A Timber Car 765 Feet Below Ground

- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Revisited this amazing and quite extensive mine which has multiple levels to explore. Found a ton of artifacts including a pickaxe, pair of suspenders, ore cart wheel, timber car skip cars and much more. And of course the main attraction was riding the timber car which was a very fun and unique experience most people don't get to do. Hope you enjoy!
That rod is for cleaning out the drill holes and loading the powdered clay they would pack in front of the dynamite.
Oh awesome! I would have never guessed. It's quite the cool artifact then. Thanks for commenting and letting me know.
Also used for scratching itchy butts
Congrats on the first mine cart ride I have ever seen in a real mine. All I wanted to do as a kid was ride a mine cart like coaster!
Thank you for keeping location to yourself .. I live in Randsburg and so much history has been stolen and destroyed over the past 30 years . I got to also do the ore car ride at the 1000 ft level of the Union mine back a few years now .. Great fun !!
Of course, I'd hate to see this stuff ransacked. Although it was quite a ways down there, but somehow people find a way. Yeah I've been up that way and still quite a few mines but I could imagine all the stuff that has been taken out of them. That's awesome you got a chance to go down that far in the Union mine! Thanks for watching!

Woah, this was one hell of exploring. And the ride?! dope!
Thanks man! That timber car ride sure was fun, don't think I'd ever get tired of it haha.
Timber car be like, “I haven’t done this for 95 years, I’ve missed this!”
Definitely one of the best mines I watched. That's so cool when you find all them artifacts
Nothing short of epic man! That was a great job documenting this mine. Wish I could explore that one. Thank you for your work!
Appreciate that dude! Yeah this is one of those mines you just gotta stop and be in awe. It was an amazing explore. No problem, thanks for watching and be on the lookout for more! I'm trying to do a video a week now.
Best abandoned mine exploration video I've seen so far.
I'm very glad to hear that! This was definitely one of the best explores for me.
Great stuff, love to see more hiking and you interpreting other things also, miss overlanding Nevada for sure
Fire thumbnail! Certain got a man crush on this Good looking guy
Watched many mine explorations. This one wow, the long wood rail car ride. Was a lengthy one, so much cool stuff left behind. Thanks to all who helped you great video. I'm waiting for the 900 foot level!
Thanks man appreciate you watching and commenting! And yeah what a great explore. I did go down to the 900 foot level, I just didn't record it. It's pretty flooded but who knows I might go back and shoot it. Definitely worth finishing up the 765 it's very extensive
Very cool!!! Thanks for recording and uploading. I’d be too chicken to go deep down there (afraid of getting lost and bats)...but all of that old stuff is amazing!
Of course! No problem I love doing these videos. There were actually no bats in this mine which was kind of a surprise to me. And yeah so many great artifacts all throughout this mine. It truly is a gem. Thanks for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it.
That was 100% Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom right there!
Yeah seriously! We could've went faster, the thing is going around the corners it's easier to derail. Don't want that 😂. Thanks for watching!
Really cool, the ride remind me the one in Indiana Jones, temple of Doom !!!! Thanks for sharing 😊🇨🇦
wow that wooden elevated platform level at 8:30 was like a underground playground, just much more badass. I don't see much wood at all in the mines I explore in the southeast, too much water just rots it.
Yeah I see these mines as a playground of sorts, just much more risk that comes with them. And yeah that would make sense way more wet over that way, these mines are just the opposite very dusty and dry. Thanks for watching!
@ 4:11 "dobb stick" , @ 6:35 "knock-off" quick change drill bit tip. easier to replace than changing the entire drill rod. Looks like a cool explore !
Wow..what a great ride
That was the coolest amusement ride evers.
What an amazing mine.
Thanks alot! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I know I sure did. Definitely the best mine I've been to, gonna be hard to top this one.
Great mine. Thank you.
Arvon John is possibly correct. It may be a type of drilling spoon.
Another possibility, depending on the period of the rod, is it may have been used for removing the dynamite in a misfired shothole. In the earlier days, before mining safety was a high priority, in the larger mines there were specialists whose only job was to clear the shotholes of misfires, so the powdermonkey could repack the hole with new dynamite. Powder monkies were considered too valuable to take the risk. The shothole specialists had the easiest, yet most dangerous job, in the mine. They were the best payed of the miners and they basically just sat around until a shothole needed to be cleared out. However, their life expectancy averaged something like only a couple of years or less!
Now if I had to guess, this artifact most likely dates back to the 1920s or 1930s like alot of the other pieces in that mine. Thanks for all the info on the powder monkeys, super intriguing stuff right there. Super dangerous job, alot of money wouldn't get me to perform a task like that! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
very cool
those suspenders could be worth alot of $$$
That was one cooool ride!
Hey that was fun. Keep it up and safe
Dam Bro....this is one of the best exploration videos you ever made. Nice Finds! Excellent! I'll bet that car ride was the coolest thing you ever did so far! :-)
Thanks man! I really appreciate that I put alot of time and effort into this one. Yeah many amazing artifacts and of course that timber car ride was just icing on top. Thanks for watching
The long rod that you found at 6:05 was probably used to push the sticks of dynamite into the holes.
Tnat ride was so awesome.
Great video, we used to be able to ride an ore cart in War Eagle, it's well known to everyone, i am not spoiling its location, some idiot pushed it down a shaft. There are skip cars twice as big, but sure you have seen them.
My only pet peeve is the false floor comment, i live in a house with wooden girders, wood floor over a crawl space covered with carpet, i never refer to it as false, same as the mines, there are hazards, holes, shafts, that are spanned with wood girders and spaced wood boards, they are called a bridge or a wooden floor, but altogether real. sometimes they are covered with dirt, so we pay attention, because they become hidden, yes, but never false.
Hey mate thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed. Yeah I've heard of the ore carts in the War Eagle, too bad the one you could ride was trashed. And yeah the wooden floors are a hazard but makes sense why you don't like them being referred to as false if they're there. Thanks again!
Always comin out with badass content bro, keep it up! 💪🏽
Thanks Shan! Thanks for the support bro means alot.
good video of the old mine.....just need a little better lighting in some areas......keep up the good work...... some of us will never have the opportunity to venture into old mines.....
That cart ride whas right out of the temple of doom!
Haha not nearly as crazy but definitely thrilling to say in the least. Glad to have been able to do something like that inside of a mine. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the ride dude! Awesome video too! Regards from Ody Slim
No problem man! That was one awesome ride and mine. Appreciate it and thanks for continuously watching!
You're freaking nuts that was fucking awesome thank you!!!
Awesome!
That was badass!¡
That's a decline inside of the mine and if it goes to the outside world it's an incline that was a cool mine explore too
Oh yeah I'm aware that declines don't connect to the surface. If I said incline in the video I meant decline. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
It's an inclined shaft It used to connect to the surface but collapsed above the levels shown due to fire.
Cool artifacts in this one. You might want to bring your mule along next time to pull you down the line. Keep up the good work, Jerith.
Hey Tom! Thanks for religiously watching my videos you don't know how much it means to me. Haha a mule sure would help. It was such a great explore, what an amazing mine. And I will keep up the work, got a few more good ones coming up at the end of this month and next month.
I just found your channel and subscribed. Great videos !
Awesome, thanks alot! Glad you're liking them that's good to hear.
Hi, please be very careful riding those carts because you just don't know when it will run off the end of the rails into a huge drop. There were some awesome artefacts left there, those braces were so cool to see. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖🙏
Excellent stuff guys. What a cool mine full of cool mine stuff! There was a ride at Six Flags over Georgia called The Dalonega Mine Train that was exactly like your car ride underground. Namaste!
Ay appreciate it John, it definitely was a cool mine. The coolest one I've been to as a matter of fact. Oh and Dalonega, that's where they had a mint that produced gold coins. Thanks for watching!
Very interesting. I know there are a few abandoned gold mines here from the 1800's or so maybe there is some correlation. Take care and look forward to seeing you soon!@@WesternMineDetective
amazingly beautiful
great video my dear friend
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I was hoping you would revert to documentary style filming while riding the ore car.
That was awesome! Great video.
Thank you! There's definitely more of that mine to be seen and documented, be on the lookout for a return to this one in the near future.
Great video.
Thanks alot! That timber car ride was something else.
@@WesternMineDetective looked fun.
That was fucking sweet! 😎
This is a great video, nice job!
Thanks alot! Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
You all should process the tailings.
Wow, that ,mine is in great shape!
Yeah it definitely is, the aridity helps alot. Thanks for watching!
@@WesternMineDetective thanks for sharing, nice work, can’t wait to see more 👍
@@trisrush9155 No problem! I'm actually gonna be dropping another one tomorrow, so be ready for that.
Great video guys.
Thanks alot!
Very beautiful
Thanks alot, appreciate you watching!
This was amazing
Thank you! That was an explore to remember, definitely want to hit it up one more time to document that 765 level more extensively. Thanks for watching!
Awww, you guys didn't even cross the shaft on 565 and 665. I can't believe that card is still there...
We extensively explored the 565 in the video I put the link for. Now for the 665 that'll have to be for another explore. Thanks for watching!
Did you guys cross the shaft?
@@undergroundexplorers No we didn't, but we did see across the 665 one of your cards. Does it go on much further than that?
Ahh, not surprised that card is still there. That was quite the operation to get into that part of the level.
That was fuckin awsome man keep up the great work
Thanks man, appreciate it! I sure will believe me
Started following after you shared in a Az hiking group I am in- this is honestly incredible!! Do you ever pair up with others to go out and explore? My husband don’t record- but would love to head out with ya some time!
I'm glad you find this incredible Erika! I usually always pair up with someone for an explore, I don't like big groups one to three people is a perfect crowd.
@@WesternMineDetective well if you’re up for a fellow adventurer feel free to reach out. I’ll see if I can’t find your post in fb and message you. We are happy to contribute to gas, snacks, batteries- whatever the exploration calls for! We just don’t know many ppl here that are up for the adventures!!
Damn
The iron is used to place the dinamita into the hole and pick up the terra
Awesome, appreciate the info! It's a pretty cool artifact then.
That's a good one, was just there not long ago.
Yeah, it's a fun one for sure! You go all the way to the 765 or the 900?
@@WesternMineDetective haven't seen it all yet going to try and go back in December.
@@ADVNevada Definitely, have fun! Lemme know if you want a sidekick lol.
@@WesternMineDetective I have a strong feeling we're going to meet up someday.
I have mixed feelings about all those artifacts there. Leaving them means more people can see them, sure...that is until they can't. Meaning it is only a matter of time before they are destroyed or wind up as somebodies temporary memento.
I would rather know they wound up in the hands of a serious collector, which is probably the best place for anything that's not quite museum worthy.
I know Frank would definitely take those dynamite boxes if he were exploring...just for example.
Very cool!! I just found your channel through a friend and subscribed. Is it appropriate to ask where or the general location of the mine is? Maybe you can ping me directly?
Ay appreciate you subscribing! And yeah I wouldn't feel too comfortable revealing the location, even a town close to it as people may loot it and such.
Scaling bar.
That looks so cool but very creepy. How do you not get lost?
Yes very cool! I don't see it as creepy probably because I'm so used to exploring them haha. And to answer your question, to prevent getting lost in these mines I use the right hand rule which means if I come to a junction I will always take the right hand passage first.
@@WesternMineDetective ok. How long have you been exploring mines? I like that rule. Very cool
I've been exploring mines for exactly a year this Halloween, so not super long. But long enough to know what to expect and the dangers I face.
Guess who randomly recommended this to me
Hmmm I'd love to know! I'm not sure. Who?
@@WesternMineDetective RUclips algorithm, i don't know why it did it but I find your content very interesting
Oh awesome! The algorithm working with me lol. Glad you like it, more epic adventures to come soon!
Bro, in case of a cave-in, your body would never be found! Brave guy, though!
