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!

The mystery machine at the 36 minute mark is a Kraut flotation cell. Probably made by Bunting Iron Works in Berkeley California. The barrel machine looks like an Oliver Continuous Filter. The filter would have been the end of the process for the flotation concentrates to dewater before shipping. The table could have been run on tailings from the flotation cells or could have been run before the flotation cells, depending on what was being targeted. If only one table, it was probably it was treating tailings from the flotation cells.
“Gly”: Thanks for the great information! I’m going to use your comment to research this further so that in the future I can be more accurate when documenting sites like this. I know allot about free mill gold recover but not much about the cyanide leaching process. Thank you.
Great Explanation! Thank You So Much!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Tooting my own horn, if I may: We have a well-preserved mill museum here in Colorado, that got featured extensively in early-1900s mining journals which Google Books has since scanned and republished. It started as a cyanide mill and was then one of the earlier US mills to convert to flotation. I spent about a year digging through the site's history and processes, as described in those original sources, and walk through both at a high level on my "The Argo Tunnel & Gold Mill" playlist. Part 2 hits the cyanide process at 23:10 and then walks through the cyanide flowsheet starting at 25:51. Part 3 briefly overviews the history of flotation milling and how it was used at the mill after it converted, and covers two more flowsheets the mill used. Cheers to you (and TVR) who helped inspire my little research journey!
gotta love these people with this amazing specific knowledge, thank you Eric
@@Unidentifying - Its that law of RUclips that before you are making a video you CAN NOT find an expert to tell you what something is. The day you release the video 5 world experts find your video and tell you you were wrong...
The videography, narration, and high production value of your meticulous editing have not only earned a subscription but a genuine fan.
Please stay safe, this is priceless.
I'm crying 😹!! Mr M's commentary on how crazy you are is hilarious! It's obvious that you guys are good friends, and that's awesome. Exploring the unknown with your buddies. It doesn't get any better than that!
Maybe crazy is to strong a word for what he has going on mentally. Spun? Touched?
Hi sir I'm from Johannesburg in south Africa and work in western deep mine almost 4 miles underground and mine only very rich gold ore, I always wanted to now how did they developed that small mines and how does silwer ore and sink ore always those that we don't have thanks for all the effort you put in and for all the information you really know your rock and rock strata and for being so safe. Be safe sir and it's the best show ever.
“Gly”: Thank you!
The temps of the deep south African mines always impressed me in how tough those miners were.
Howzit boetpal
God bless you❤❤🇺🇸🙏🙏🌌
The addition of the 2nd camera is great. It's much easier to get a visual on just how big these areas are....
Can't wait for stereoscopic VR! With the size of cameras now it shouldn't be too hard to attach them eyes width apart on his helmet.
It's nice to see the old equipment still on site and not vandalized or spray painted. Thank both of you for sharing
B-roll really helps with the contrast of the size of the mine vs human.
Congratulations to Mr. M, all you make old mines fun!
You have the best mine explorations channel on RUclips.
Thanks.
“Gly”: Thank you!
We have alot of mines to explore in north idaho. Nobody ever comes up here to document them though. Should start a youtube channel and do it. I have always been interested in the history of them. This is the one good thing about youtube.
I'd totally subscribe as long as you're as safe and respectful as Gly & crew. :-)
@@andie_pants me too
Before you get to spun up on that, review your history.
Ploughboy mine took 2 in 1995. It nearly killed 4 others who went in to go get them.
Might wanna re-think that one...
@@DonB.-Mulefivefive www.spokesman.com/stories/1996/oct/30/families-file-15-million-claims-in-mine-deaths/
@@paulredmond3968 If I as a grown man knowingly put myself in a dangerous situation and I die, and then my family attempts to make money from people who were not responsible for that decision; I'd be rolling in my grave. I get why they do. They cannot lay blame upon their loved ones. "If they (the mining company) would have made it impossible to get in the abandoned mine, they wouldn't have died." To me it almost seems disrespectful to your loved ones. It is like saying they were so foolish that they can't be held responsible for their actions. For children, for sure; the argument and liability is there. But for adults? That's ridiculous. If I hop the fence into a construction site and get myself killed, can my family just take their money? Do we need to erect force fields around any possibly dangerous place? Do the companies need a team of armed guards posted around the clock to make sure that no one can enter. Where is the line? How difficult do they have to make it? How about you accept your family member died doing what they chose to do and not use it as an excuse to sue. The companies losing money is not even the problem. It's that it means they will be required make these places more and more inaccessible to responsible explorers. It has been getting worse and worse for anyone wanting to explore abandoned places for exactly this reason. I simply believe that agency and accountability and really, freedom is being chipped away by grieving families looking for an entity to place blame for their family members tragic death. I could go one with examples but it's so sad how these tragic events are inadvertently causing a loss of freedom and have been since long before I was born. This is exactly what will happen to the 2nd amendment. As Mr. Franklin timelessly said "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
That is an absolutely monstrous power plant! I've never seen anything quite like it.
Based on the size of the ball mill, that mill probably did about 100 tpd.
The unidentified things you're asking about around 37:00 are flotation cells. They use mechanical agitation and aeration in conjunction with a collector agent to skim target minerals off the ground ore from the ball mill. The skimmed material (concentrates) is dried and sold/smelted.
I think this mine started out mining high-grade ore (pure galena/sphalerite/other sulfides) and direct-smelting it on-site at that smelter down the hill. The flotation mill was constructed later to beneficiate the low-grade. Gravity concentration was used to extract the free-milling gold as you said, and the tailings from the table were then sent to the flotation mill.If roasting was performed on this site, it was probably in conjunction with some kind of cyanidation process.
“Gly”: Again, thanks for the fantastic comment! Now that I know what that was I can research it more on the internet. The large wooden wheel shaped machine with the V shaped bottom that I called a skimmer / screener... Was I correct in saying that was used for ore classification before running the material across the shaker tables or was that used for skimming of the froth from the cyanide flotation cells?
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces It was used to skim the froth. Most likely, the tails from the table were sent to the ball mill and then to the flotation cells.
Awww yea! Saturday morning tv hasn't been this good since the '70s!
Very cool. Keeponkeepinon
I agree!👍🏻
I'm not sure why RUclips recommended this to me last week, but I don't regret it. Mines have always been a mild interest to me (more specifically mining accidents and why they happen) and I find this pretty interesting! Keep up the good work!
“Gly”: Thank you and welcome aboard!
I'm really loving the combo of your geological knowledge and Mr M's mechanical knowledge in this video. I've been enjoying your videos for a while, but you guys are taking them to a whole new level lately. Keep up the good work!
“Gly”: Thank you!
You're underated
I'll say!
Gly , Mr M. and Randy , thanks for bringing me along too ! You three are as close to a time machine as I've ever seen . It's just amazing as to what lengths men will go to find their fortune .
Your videography and audio are first rate. The colors and mineralization in this mine is simply beautiful.
The air receiver/accumulator tanks have a function beyond simply storing air. They serve as a buffer between the drill and compressor - the receiver tank can run the drill briefly. If you turn on blow air on your jackleg to clean a hole, the receiver will handle it and the compressor won't have to turn on/rev up. This reduces the number of run cycles on the compressor, extending its service life.
“Gly”: Thanks for the great comment!
The accumulator also stores the compressed air like you said. But if you run a long section of air hose and hook up a large cfm tool you lose CFM because of the diameter line restriction. So an accumulator is installed close to the work and using shorter hoses minimizing cfm loss
an accumulator's secondary purpose is to serve as a water trap. too much moisture in the compressed air will cause drills to freeze up. We periodically had to drain the water from these tanks.
Did Mr. M remember to retrieve his glasses? Great video, Gly and Mr. M work well together.
“Gly”: He almost forgot them but he remembered at the last minute.
Mr. M is great to watch
One of the best adventures to date! Thanks for taking us along! Good to see and hear Mr. M's footage and commentary.
“Gly”: Thank you!
Lovely Old Mill, Treatment Plant and Mine. Your commentary is 'First Class'. So is the quality of your filming. The awe and excitement is not just yours you know, haha🙂. Us viewers feel it too👍. Thanks.
again ....very nice intro ....love the soundtrack ....good idea with the B roll material.... ....good looking material .... Mr M is doing a great job.....should have him in there more ....those are flotation cells ....very common for Silver or Sulfide ore ...good job sonny Jim
Just watched the vid and thought I better check the comments before I answer nice one Jeff
“Gly”: Thanks Jeff!
Thanks Jeff for the input on that mystery metal machinery that these guys were checking out..
Love this connection with JW and Gly Channel Info..
This Has Been An Awesome Viewing With The Best Three Guys Of The Mining Worlds Past Sharing To Us People Of The World..
Thanks A Million For
This Episode Today !!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces hey ive been watching all your videos..nthe 4 engine power plant was built from what ive found so far was tweeked by Gray Marine but Detroit.. maybe a 1943... for war use.. I'm thinking that huge flywheel thing looks like the unit Johanthan W it has a 2
pcs. Flywheel, huge too.. it throws me some
what on the leavers on each end of the
cylinder. Bates Corliss steam engine.. the air compress you poster my be older than the quad engine power unit. They might be 167 hp verions .. if war use they would be 224 hp they would have that on the front cover. But after the war who knows what they offered..
the leaver would allow you to engage engines
as needed..
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces you betcha
Mr. M is looking Highly professional. First class wing man... Good team..
Dang kind of you. Thanks!
I think it’s admirable you keep these old places alive by visiting them. Else, they’d be doomed to obscurity. Plus, it’s fun to watch you guys exploring them!
Sometimes what's outside the mine is better than what's inside. I believe this is one of those cases. Four diesels, air compressor ball mill along with all the other artifacts. Beautiful just Beautiful! Oh and Mr. M. He's beautiful as well! LMAO!
You guys are awesome. Great machinery. Great find. You guys are so funny. Thank you
Great vlog. Too bad the mine itself pinched out. The exterior remains were awesome. Amazing to see a shaker table semi in tact. Mr. M is hysterical with his side commentary. I love how the channel is going. I love Randy also.
Gly and Mr M you guys are awesome dont ever stop doing what you do!
I vote for more out takes at the end!!!!!
Me too, that was "catchy".
Another vote here too 😀
Another awesome adventure Gly & friends enjoyed it👍🏻 Thanks!!😉
I watch these videos on replay, it makes me want to explore the mines here in New jersey, their everywhere and their all abandonded mostly from the late 1700s-1800s and some are so deep into the woods in the mountains is ridiculous. conveniently though if you look up NJ old mines theres a state run website that actually shows the original blueprints for the mines and how to find them.....for rescue purposes of course incase someone falls into one... shhh
I live in NJ as well. When my sister was majoring in geology she took me to the Sterling Hill Mining Museum, on what used to be one of the world's richest zinc ore deposits, here in NJ. It's famous for the huge amounts of fluorescent deposits, including the rainbow room. You can even prospect for UV minerals outside the mine and other minerals. Plus there's a tour with intact artifacts, rooms and machinery from the hole process and two museums with loads of minerals, fossils and hundreds of florescent minerals. The mine is gigantic, but flooded, so the tour only goes through one level. I'd recommend others but I haven't been, I should change that too. Also, the tour is closed due to covid-19 and being in tight spaces underground, but will hopefully open soon. www.sterlinghillminingmuseum.org/
@@zlm001 ive been there a few times in my youth through school and when i went through the boy scouts. Great educational place and yeah, its freaking massive. Thats a protected mine tho thats monitored, theres so many hidden gems which arent even labeled because at a point back then they would just start digging and there was no need for documentation to say its a mine that youre creating. People sometimes just fall into them up here.
This is real American history right there. Thanks for sharing with the world!. Mr M looks so enthusiastic when it comes to those old contraptions and is having a blast.
My big draw to this activity was history. I marvel at the men who busted their way through this stuff, in squalid conditions, bad water, lousey food, too much whiskey. And most went broke, and most found no gold.
Glee another fantastic Adventure . Love you guys .
I was in that mine 4 days ago. No deer in that canyon, plenty of bighorn sheep. Seen some Hungarian partridge by the spring below the smokestack. We didnt go as deep as you guys. We got to the accumulator tank and called it.
Excellent job with multiple cameras, gives much better perspective of atmosphere and size of the mine! Great job by Randy and mr. M + mr. M. is a true cameraman gem!
The second camera is super. Definitely helps show the size of things. I am hoping that Mr. M remembered to pick up his sun glasses before you left. @30:41
Great show! Love the inclusion of the new mic and camera for Mr. B. Adds a whole new dimension, adding depth and contrast to the 2D vision we live in.
This is why you take an " elder" with you! So much knowledge!
Gly , like I told Justin of TVR Explorations when he was up there , the Mine is just a hodge-podge of Drifts & Stopes , and the Mill is far more interesting . I hope you guys got a chance to stay in that area for a few days , there are a lot more mines in that area . Like I told Justin , I spent a week in that area back in the late 1980's and still didn't see it all . < Doc > .
@Bru Rred ask Jeff Williams has answered it they are floation cells to sort out the minerals from the waste
@Bru Rred -- I initially thought they were Flotation Cells until I got a closer look at them . They're Cyanide Aerators , Flotation Cells don't have that large metal "mushroom" in the tank . -- SEE "SkullsFB" 's comment below and my reply to him . < Doc > .
“Gly”: Hi Doc! Yes, I plan on going back to this location in the future. We barely scratched the surface of what’s to explore in this area.
Awesome site, impressive equipment, and thanks again Mr. M for following Gly into some of those crazy places. Be safe out there guys.
The men who dragged that great hit'n'miss engine and the 4 engine block into place were stars!
You guys make an old miner happy from Aus thanks🐿
Hey! Just finished watching! You should give Mr M more airtime.. maybe his own episodes! what a guy! Very cool. Great to see the channel develop, been watching them all from the first ones over the last few cold nights here in Scotland. Cheers and See you next week.
Awesome as always. Looking forward to next weekend.
Thanks brother once again.
Your show really changed me, how I look at geology everywhere. Definitely retirement hobbies.
I look forward to your Saturday morning episodes like I looked forward to weekend cartoons as a kid. Be safe and look out for each other.
Save me some clam chowder
I love it when you and Mr. M get to joking around. Cracks me up every time! Also, amazing job documenting this gorgeous mine! I’m thrilled that you got the Beast Flashlight; all of us geology lovers directly benefit! Sweet!
That was an absolutely awesome video ! Mr. M is like a mountain goat.
I always give a thumbs up before I watch the video because I know I will like it !!!!!
great video I as well very happy MR.M has a b roll if you will keep up the great videos .
Mr M 🤣🤣😉 your comments and faces bring comedy! Love it!.
I knew Mr M was part mountain goat Gly, & he just proved it the way he clambered over that collapsed roof section. Besides it looks like he's growing a bunch of fur on his chest as well! 🐐.
Your presentations just keep getting better & what a marvelous mine site you have shown us.
I absolutely love this channel. You have opened a whole new fascination. I recently went on a mining tour in Wallace Idaho and thanks to you I didn't go in there completely clueless! Thank you for the amazing content!
“Gly”: Thank you!
Indeed what an amazing mine, love all the old machinery.
Loved all your improvements! Awesome production, and amazing site!
Explain the circular "back"or what a pod is. Spectacular mineral swirl 19:34 - 19:49. The mineral types were beautiful!! You sure have a gift of being able to hold a camera with one hand and crawl into the crevices that you do. The geology of this mine is fantastic! , something for all of your fans; the adit's mineral contents and diggings, the fabulous, old machinery that ran this claim, and the back country "shots" of those fantastic hills at 28:44. This was ONE of your BEST videos. Very interesting. (I'm borderline OCD also. I heard the clicking, on & off, in the first 4 - 5 mins.) Thank you all for another great "explore".
You three are awesome willing to go that extra mile just for us.
Mr "M" is so cool acts like he scares easy but actually probably not.
Keep them coming guys we love watching.
I'm loving the whole new video setup,the B roll makes a huge difference,we are also glad to be able to breath clean air again as I live about 14-18 mile's south of the Glass complex fire in Napa proper,great video gentleman see you next week
Love those drone shots - spectacular Nevada. An amazing amount of abandoned machinery - can't imagine the cost. Especially running 4 diesel engines at once. Loved the black mica in that mine and the extensive limonite deposits. Thanks Gly, Mr. M, and Randy. Way cool video.
Were the heavy duty shelves at the entrance for a lamp control system? I British coal mines every miner took a lamp as he went in and returned it as he left, a lamp missing as a miner missing.
The big mushroom stirrers in the trough of tanks were likely for frothing a slurry.
“Gly”: I’ve found those shelves allot in the portals of mines and they were used for most everything a miner needed before starting his shift.
Really enjoy the intros. Thanks for another awesome video. They are captivating. Great job Mr. M on tour of the equipment.
Another Great episode, I really enjoyed the tour of the old mill from You and Mr. Magnificent, it was very informative, I was really impressed to see how they linked 4 engine's together to run the mill
Looking forward to next weeks show.
Love your introductions to the mines and thanks for taking us along on this explore. It was a good one!
Man guys, this episode was absolutely amazing! U three guys are perfect together...
Thanks for another awesome and informative adventure! You guys keep me going 😊 x
Gly, i have never been drawn into a channel so much! Im going back through and watching all you prior videos as well! Keep up the awesome work and stay safe!
Real glad your taking Mr M. and or Randy along with you on these explorations. Just good policy to not explore alone. Great presentations. Thanks for letting us go along too! good watching when weather is going to crap outside. Old man winter is drawing closer.
Thank you for sharing your adventures brothers and being safe about it all
I had to pause another one of your videos to watch this one. Nice drone shots.
SO amazingly GORGEOUS! Sensual sinuating nature, the slithery sheens on the silver and black, at about 22-23 mins it was hyponitic, and you and mr M were like, Yes, it's not safe in hear- It seemed mother earth could inch forward a few inches, little lapping waves that would be huge riotous in effect! ... YAH, your most gorgeous yet. The most artful and colorful mine in effect.
Another brilliant video. Greetings from Australia
You are unbelievable. You love what you do, but you scare the heck out of me. Stay safe. Always here for your trips. Holding my breath for you and Mr M
Love the multiple camera views you are using now Gly, very nice for us in the audience. Keep up the great work!
“Gly”: Thank you!
I have to say your drone work and overall cinematography is excellent.
Its a shame the buildings are in such disrepair and collapsed, it looks like a really awesome sight.
I know how loud 2 stroke diesels are I could only imagine what 4 of them strapped together would be like.
Thanks again for bringing us along, congrats on 70k (69k at posting) and I see randy is the only guy not wearing an exploring helmet... should we start a go fund me page for a proper helmet? It always crack up when I see him in a 90's bicycle helmet, but not as much as thinking about mr.m's debut and you kicking rocks on his head for 400 feet down an incline.
Stay safe to all 3 of you guys
What a great mill
Another great video, gly! Mr. M makes it all the better.
Thank you for another great explore, I enjoy the comradery of the 3 of you. i feel like I am part of the explore but I get to stay safely at home as I am not as agile as i used to be when i used to go Spelunking in the Colorado Caves. By the way Love the Tee-Shirt i purchased it is great quality and I keep hoping that it will bring more viewers to your channel.
“Gly”: Thank you!
Fantastic video.
I wonder if those drums were cone crushers.
Mr. M did a standup job!
Keep up the great work!
No , not Cone Crushers -- Cyanidation Aerator units . < Doc , Miner / Mill Operator for over 50 years > .
A bit about the engines powering the compressor. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_diesel_6051_quad-71
Thanks for the link to the quad.
Interesting information for this Waukesha mechanic
They probably cast those large flywheels in two pieces for a couple of reasons: easier to cast; easier to transport; and, easier to install around the shaft.
I just stumbled upon your channel and it is already my favorite!
My comment to show support for your Video is as follows. -Big Thumbs Up
I have been waiting to watch the best video on RUclips. I'm happy to see you and Mr m are doing well . I got my son watching your videos to and he finds them funny and educational , he loves the jet to .truth or consequences N.M 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👋🤗
That was magnificent, dare I say, it was as interesting outside the mine looking at the machinery as it was inside. Thank you so much for what you do, the new format was great.
that was magnificent. Really relieved to see you not taking so many chances. And thanks Mr. M and Randy for being your backup
Thank you!
ONE OF THE BEST ONES YET!!!!
🕯🕳⛏🐿🕯
“Gly”: Thank you!
That introduction really put into perspective of just how important mining was to the prospectors and miners of the time. It was everything!
Great video "Gly" Mr M....real interesting mill..!
The Gly and "M" show was superb.......Between the two of you we now more informed of mining operations.
We need to get a Rubicon Express 5” long arm kit, some 4:56 gears, and a set of 35 x 12.5 MTR’s on old Bob and turn him into ‘Best Bob’ 😬
I started watching your videos about 3 months ago, liked so much that I had to watch some twice.
The quality in video and audio is amazing now, compared to the premiere shows.
Keep the good work.
Pave from PANAMA, REP. OF PANAMA
Hooray for the UV Beast! I'm excited to see what you bring to black light. Also hooray for Mr. M all geared up.
Fantastic
This came up in my Feed and so Glade I clicked on it
Just unreal to see people doing what they love
I lived in an old Gold town in Australia as a kid with hundreds of Mines dotted through the bushland
Man just imagine the decibels four screaming jimmies must have produced! I have seen twins coupled together, but never four. Great video
“Gly”: That mill would’ve been absolutely deafening with just the engines alone not to mention the ball mill doing its thing. It sure would’ve been fun to see when it was up and running.
Great video and great site! Love watching you guys explore these mines, you three really seem to have fun in there. Thank you for documenting these before they're gone
thanks for sharing this site stay safe
Another great exploration. Mr. M is a worthy partner to have join you, a good presenter too. That black material was fantastic to see in such quantities. I you hadn't told us it was Black Schist, I'd have called it coal. It was shiny like coal, tht's why i'd have jumped to that conclusion. Keep up the good work guys. Can't wait to see the U.V. beast in action. Bye for now.
Another great video. I really like your manner when speaking. I now have my grandson watching these ( he is 8 ). Keep up the geology lessons as you go. Very informative.
Gly, what is your background? You are very knowledgeable in your hobby. I do have a request. On one of the more well know, safer mines, can you provide a specific location? I would and I am sure many others would like to see what it looks like from google earth. I know you don't usually do this, but a well known, safer one should be ok?
Mr M is a real value add. I like him in his 'official gear' Very wise, like 'maybe look where you're going and see if that's where you wanna be going' ( I'm going to keep that one ). Love how he takes the lead outside.
Keep up the good work. Very enjoyable. Better than anything on TV.
No. No. and no. The mines locations are not posted for specific reasons. The number one reason is: YOU stay out and YOU stay alive and so does everyone else. It also keeps things where they belong and not found on some place like ebay. At 40:45, Mr. M laid it out straight why you do not find these things any more. If you'll LISTEN and think, gly keeps the locations hidden so that things don't go missing or worse, people like you, end up being buried. Stay out and stay alive means, just what it says.
“Gly”: Hi Mark! I’m really happy your enjoying the channel with your grandson, that’s great! Before I retired my 20 year career was in explosives and explosives regulatory as well as professional display fireworks. I owned and ran a family gold placer operation for 10 years and I would consider myself a amateur geologist but I never acquired a formal degree. Mines, mining history and how miners lived during that time has always been an interest of mine. I’m very sorry but it’s my channels policy not to reveal locations or give any type of advice of how to explore abandoned mines. Doing so keeps these places that I find pristine and keeps people from getting hurt.
Love this channel , very interesting 👍👍
