Hi Jimmy. We didn’t go down the ladders but did explore the upper levels. You have probably already seen the three videos we made of the upper levels. Look at the first comment for a link. There is a video of the lower level that my friend Ken made. I can post the link if you want to see it. Thanks for watching and for the blessing!
There were several burned timbers in this one all right. It is a big mine. We have already explored the upper levels. A link to those videos are in the first comment. Thanks, David!
The number of ore chutes plus that huge mill structure outside tells me that they were following a monstrous ore body. Really great looking minerals in this one. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!
I've never seen the likes of those huge wood chutes. It seems like they are every 30 feet. Glad that you liked the minerals, they are the real stars of every mine. Thanks for the nice comment!
Hi Tom & Julie, this one was a mine of many chutes and it seemed to go every which way. I think the graffiti was cool to see although who would want to be stuck working in a mine on Xmas Eve. Thank you for showing us around, much love to you both & Pickles of course. xx ❤
Hi Sue, always good to hear from you. I like the "mine of many chutes" slogan. There was some cool graffiti in this one. Maybe the miners who worked holidays got a little pay bump. Thanks for watching and for he love! 💖🐈⬛
Quite a large mine! And I agree, they must have been pulling out multiple metals with the composition of the veins. Can't wait to see the lower levels! You two are amazing! The time you take to video as you walk through makes each episode well worth watching! Thanks Julie And Tom for sharing your adventures with us!
Yes, this is a large mine. You might have watched our previous videos of the upper levels which were out already. We didn't go down the ladders since we spent our time in the upper part. My friend Ken has a video of the lower part. I can get the link if you're interested. Thanks for watching!
This was a multiple metal and mineral mine so some interesting ore veins were here. The ladders are a little rough in places. Thanks for watching, Jeff!
You might have seen the upper levels of this one, Ralph. We already posted three videos of the upper levels. See the first comment to a link. Thanks for watching!
As usual great mine hike! I was amazed by all the burned timbers. You guys went way back and there was more that was burnt. I wonder why? Any ideas?? Good to see you two exploring this mine again. Where to next guys?? Tom you gotta quit letting Julie take the lead. Of course I'm only kidding!! Take care guys!!
I'm guessing vandals lit the timbers on fire for some sick reason that onle an arsonist can understand. Julie doesn't mind taking the lead until there are bats present, then she is behind me in a flash. Not sure what is next but we'll be up to something. Thanks, Duane!
Hello my good friends it so beautiful out there I enjoy the wildness peace and quiet no stressful no depressional people no traffic that is a beautiful mine too
Really, really cool mine! I just totally love your channel. I'll be watching your other videos of this mine for sure. Would be fun to see you two hook up with Frank sometime. Stay safe...❤❤
@@TomandJulieMineExploring My Dad always said "gettin' a little Wooly Jaw" You know what I mean !!!!! Hahahaaa... You've been to the Moon, your a guitar Player from the 70', 80's !!! ;)~
There is much more to this mine. We have three previous videos of the upper levels. See the first comment for a link to the first of the three. Where are you located? Keep in touch through comments on videos and we'll see what comes about. Thanks for watching!
Hi there, Tom & Julie. Just had a fantastic virtual explore with y’all in the Goldbottom Mine. Blown away by the multitude of wooden structures they erected in there. I wonder how many workers they employed and how many years it took to accomplish this endeavor. This mine is very impressive with the myriad of beautiful mineral colors present. Very impressed by the physical stamina of both of you to traverse the expanses of the mines y’all explore. Thanks for taking all of your Subscribers along for the ‘Thrill of a Life-Time’!! Also, I’m curious about the type of Lights you use to illuminate the tunnels and passageways. I would like to know the Lumens, the weight, hand-held and/or head/lamp, approximate price, and where you order them from. Thank you for any help with this matter. Keep Safe & Healthy!!
Hi Cary, most of the mines in this area were lead/silver/gold mines that were located in the late 1800's and worked mainly through the 1920's. A mine like this would usually have 20 to 50 men employed depending on if there was a mill operating or not. Many were worked at several different times depending on current prices of the mineral or metal being mined. We have a few different light sources. We both carry Coast brand handheld flashlights. I carry an HP10R and Julie carries an XP11R. Both rechargeable and about $65 and $120 respectively. We both use a very inexpensive and compact headlamp made by Vont. I use a powerful light for videoing that is highly diffused with a homemade diffuser. It has a remote rechargeable battery. Coast products are available at The Home Depot or from the Coast website depending on the model you are looking for. The others came from Amazon. Thanks for the comment!
Awesome mine a lot there to explore definitely have to call this one the (well shoot mine) 😂 shame some of it was burnt great stuff guy’s as always be safe 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It always looks more complicated to keep your directions in the video than it is in real life. We rarely get into a situation where we feel like we are getting lost. If we do we will usually make a small rock cairn to mark an important spot. If I remember correctly we did get thrown off briefly in this one because it made a loop that we didn't quite understand for a couple minutes. Thanks for the comment, David!
Hi Tom and Julie . your mines in the US are amazing to see and very excusable to get into in my country NZ the mines here are either blocked off or blowen up at the entrance way
Hi Tony. Yes, we have some really nice mines here that are still in good condition. The government does block the entrance to some of them, but there are so many that it will take a long time to block them all. Thanks for watching and commenting!👌😄
A lot of those older gold mines left tailings that were worth reworking for values left behind - there's some that people have reworked twice - no sign of that there.... I suppose the hardest part in an operation like that is haulage....everything has to be hauled, from the tools, wood and pipes and hoses to the tracks, carts and (especially in the desert) the water. And in those days haulage included building a mill! Incredible....
That very true that the tailings can be valuable. Many times the old mills only recovered about 60% of the gold that was in the ore removed from the mine. That means 40% of the gold is already outside of the mine laying in a pile. Not an easy process to do though and would require machinery to scale up to a profitable operation. Water was always a problem. I have seen mines that piped in water from springs as far as 10 miles away. Unbelievable. Thanks for watching!
There's enough chutes to make you think there's some fairly extensive workings up above. And enough crappy ladders to make you think there must be some extensive workings, or haulage level, down below. And if there's air flow coming from either there's a chance it may lead to another adit. Lots of possibilities.
There are extensive upper levels here that we already made videos of. You might have seen them already. Look at the first comment for a link. Thanks for watching, Duck!
2:40 Resembles Uranium Tailings, there are lots of Uranium Mines in that area, if you don't have one I'd suggest getting a Geiger Counter, there are many small pocket sized ones for under $100
Hello Tom and Julie. This mine seems like it was just going in all different directions. I hope you investigated what's going on above because based on the shuts must be a lot up there.
Hello Stephen. We made three videos of the upper levels that were out previous to this one. You have probably already watched them. There is a link to them in the first comment of this video. We didn't have time to see the lower levels while we were there. Thanks for watching!
It's too bad the old mill is gone. That would have been fun to see. You're correct that not much of the outside is left. Thanks for watching, Max. Hope you're staying warm!
We have three videos already out of the upper levels and stopes, William. You might have already watched them. I put a link to them in the first comment. We didn't get a chance to go down the ladders as we ran out of time. Thanks for the comment!
The upper levels are the most fun. We have a three part series on them. We didn't name the videos Goldbottom. The thumbnails read "high anxiety at the portal, at the shaft and in the stope" or something like that. You might be interested as I don’t think most people explore the upper part of the mine. Thanks for the comment, Michael!
Classic ..... can't wait to see the lower levels..... another fun explore ...looks like Julie beat ya to the punch this morning

I have been binge watching Tom and Julie since I found this channel a couple months ago. Great stuff!
We appreciate your support, Walt! Glad that you're enjoying our channel!
Thank you Tom and Julie for taking us along. What an extensive mine. Looked like it was burnt all the way back inside. Stay safe and great explore.

Love that color on the jeep I painted my Yamaha zuma scooter with that paint back in 2000 it was a Chrysler prowler color. It looks amazing in the sun
