    Even in these small mines there is plenty to learn and you are very good at teaching us. I think an interesting episode would be one where you show us the Animal life in these mines we see their nests, and their bones, bats, Miner’s cats, packrats, Javelinas, Desert Big Horns, Desert Jackrabbits, etc.

    Thanks so much Gly. This exploration was actually super exciting to see and learn from. I'm sure there are thousands out here like me who are just gushing with thanks for everything you do. You deserve that new drone and more. This is the best mine exploration channel on youtube, period. Thank you again.

    Hi Gly, wow so beautiful, we have a lot of Galena that was mined here in Cornwall UK also if you know where to look here you can find Iron Pyrite and Amethyst too.
    Good luck in the search for Kenny, he has to be somewhere as he can't have just vanished without a trace.
    Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

    I looked for you this A.M. (about 7:30), but you hadn't posted yet. Had to be at a birthday party at noon, so now I got to see your latest video. The scenery, after you put the drone up is so superb and such a starck change from all these trees in Wisc. I love those Saquaro cactus. Glinty Galena, haven't heard that superlative used before within the rockhounders I associated with in Wyo.,but then there are no lead/sources in those Western hills. A great geology "explore"that we viewers got to go along on. Thank you for your excertion and search.

  • @RLZerr
    @RLZerr 2 года назад +12

    Great mine Gly! So much better samples than the galena we found in the Museum Mine. Galena - lead sulfide, argentite - silver sulfide, sphalerite - zinc sulfide. Some of the crystals suggest there might be stibnite in there too. Antimony sulfide. Abandoned mines no longer making money could provide some anti-money! 🤑 Randy

    In regards to the weather outside comment. I remember years ago when I used to work in UNDG Mines as a Electrical Technician in Western Australia and the weather outside was either stinkink hot - summer or relatively freezing cold - winter. In the mines, the temperature was always generally great 👍.

    Hey Gly, really liked todays episode,
    How long would you estimate is took for the miners to complete the very first haulage adit you entered? Not finding the vein they were looking for must have cost a lot of time and money for nothing.

  • @trimbaker1893
    @trimbaker1893 2 года назад +1

    Hi Gly, I have probably brought up an idea of mine before, but I want to share it again. I think Kenny may have given the clue to his cave choice in code. Rather than have some loved one find him soon after his death,( if he is dead), he used a code to tell folks where to find him possibly at a much later date when his remains might be less gross. I think he chose the "M" cave to distract searchers away from him. Knowing that there were many caves that look like an "M" in those canyons. The letter "M" is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet. I wonder if he ended up in the thirteenth cave from where he left his phone to be found. Please, if you think there may be something to my theory, check the thirteenth cave from where his phone was. Ok, thats my idea. Thanks Gly for your consideration, George.

  • @Steve_Wardley_G6JEF
    @Steve_Wardley_G6JEF 2 года назад +5

    Great video as always Gly but tell me, is the ore they mined for silver different from Galena or just a more pure Silver bearing form of it ? This is what I read from Google but it leaves me a little confused. "The most common silver-bearing minerals recovered by flotation are argentiferous galena, native silver, argentite (Ag2S) and tetrahedrite (Cu,Fe,Ag) Sb4S3). Often these minerals float with the base metals such as copper and lead sulphides or are the primary target mineral (tetrahedrite)." Thanks again.

    • @stardustblue3625
      @stardustblue3625 2 года назад +1

      Yeah, the moment he showed all that material laying around and still untouched underground, I almost choked on some peanuts. That's a lot of high grade silver ore. It's very likely that it was worked and exposed during WW2 when they had to shut down operations. it's all just still sitting there. I'd be interested in the history and owner of this property and why it was abandoned...or if it is actually abandoned.

  • @stardustblue3625
    @stardustblue3625 2 года назад +2

    With all of that high grade material exposed and total reserves left, is it really abandoned? This looks like a classic pre-WW2 operation where the mine was still being developed and in it's heyday, but then had to shutdown for the war effort...and silver crash.
