Take the artifacts and cherish them in your young life. The stories you can spin off them are priceless. Items like those you found add up and as you get old, your apprentice will carry on the tales of your historical finds and pass them down to his inheritors. Thank you Jason for sharing with us your experiences.
History only matters if someone is around to appreciate it. So long as you're not breaking any laws, take them, display them and make sure you catalogue them. That way you can pass them off to someone else down the line.
Great video Jason! The idea of leaving the mine as is has its merits. If you are the only person knowing its location. Regrettably if an other person finds it, the chances are quite great the artifacts will be removed. You are very fortunate to have found this mine. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Hey Jason,
Great , exciting video !
I have in my 74 years found old stuff such as the equipment you found.
Just touching it seems to open my mind to the time the stuff was in use.
One of the other commenters suggested you might check into the history of the mine and possible claim it as your own.
What you do with it is open to so many possibilites.
What an adventure that might be !
Thanx for allowing us to join you on this bit of your life adventures.
Oh I hope we get to see Dan's reaction to you finding the mine.
Work Safe, Be Well
Enjoy Life
While that lock on the door of the "cedar door mine" is calling you, you already know what to do. You are a great person Jason and you always do the right thing but, preserving history so it doesn't rust away unknown is a very admirable as long as it is done with respect. You could document as much as possible then remove the items to prevent further oxidation and damage. Tell a true tale of how these old time miners worked there and all of the problems they had to indure. Can't wait to see what is inside the samples. Great videos as always. I must have told a dozen people about your channel this past week. Telling everyone how excited I was about your cliffhanger. Great way to start the weekend.
Memorialize everything you can. Makes life worth it for those gone.
Secret Goldmine? Couldn't click fast enough!!! :)
Hello Jason, great video! Regarding the artifacts in the old mine, I would take them and put them on display. You are the kind of person that would display them in a way that would be respectful to the miners who used them. I am looking forward to your next video.
So many channels about mining out there, and yours is the first that really shows all the rocks, and not just saying whats in it but you are also explaining what to look out for, how it looks like, whats indicators and how to follow a trail. Amazing, not that I probably will ever go out and prospect but since I am very interested in looking at everything in nature which obivously includes rocks too? I subbed. Great videos!
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge and adventures. I am too old to do this stuff so you are the next best thing.
very nice mix of mine exploring , prospecting and geology...i think you did well to combine a number of interesting topics into one video making the vid multi interesting compared to the one dimensionally skewed mine explorations going on out there . nice work yours smarts are shining through
I was super excited for the second part to show up
I think it shows more respect to save it from rusting away by taking it out. Great video though.
I think the best option to preserve the Cedar Door Mine would be to research the mine and post a placard with the info, re-discovery date, and a request to leave the mine as it was discovered. A sign in sheet could be cool too.
This content was awesome. The anticipation was worth the wait. Thanks again Jason.
After watching part 1 a few days ago I was super pumped to see this video pop up in my feed. These type videos are some of my favorite you've ever done!
It's a rare video that I watch through until the end but this is one of them. Well done. I think he is passing up the real worth i.e. the gemstones in order to find a few flakes of gold. All very interesting prospecting trip.
100% take the lock, beautiful piece of history that nobody will see if you leave it. And by bringing it with you it’s an amazing story that you will get to share and by doing that it’s history will never die… take it! Display it! Talk about, don’t let it be forgotten!!
You can give lock to the States historical society.
Hey Buddy, Great video as always... You need to take the lock and whatever else you can... I say this for a number of reasons... Eventually someone else will come along and do it. AND....if anyone deserves to preserve, protect, and show off items like these more than anyone else, it is YOU!!! Furthermore...You showed it to all of us and can continue showing it for years to come, with this video and all your stories that go along with it. And out of respect towards the old timers who started and worked this mine years ago, what greater showing of respect can we give to them than to continue to show items like these they left behind for years to come... Maybe you could start a little museum and show a flash of this at the beginning of your videos... But all this shows great respect towards these old timers who just busted their asses for what little they got. We are all so blessed these days.... A great example of what I am talking about is what cool dude Brent has done with all his finds from Cerro Gordo. The world will always be able enjoy these items from all his videos and those that make it up there to see them in person in the museum he has created for years to come...
Yassssss....
Hey! I saw some gold! Ooh it was your wedding ring. 😢 Ha Ha Hi to Fred.😮 Brian and Debi
Been waiting all week for this one!
I was so looking forward to this, I got so excited with the last vid leaving us on a cliffhanger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but worth it =)
Loving the rock saw. The details in the rocks are amazing. Thanks as ever for the video.
A lot of good information….. thanks. 👏😁🇦🇺
Definitely copper cloride! Gold gets devolved by chlorine, and I guarantee there is a nice amount of gold lock in the copper chloride. 100 yrs ago, they didn't have the processing we do, and I imagine that they had a hard time getting all the gold from the ore. I think you need to do chemical testing to better understand the geology. Nice score!!
Google Greenschist.
Is it serpentine
Chlorite schist?
Looks like the rocks in the greenstone belt in n/e Ontario.

Nothing wrong with taking home a conversation peice and educational. Thank you
Take the historical artifacts You found including the lock and hasp! I know you will be a great curator of these timeless pieces of mining history!
Pretty darn cool Jason! Thx 4 sharing friend! Cheers JJ
Awesome video. Thanks for the teachings...learn a lot more about rocks from this video...Nice environment and scenary❤❤
Jason, you're a very good storyteller.
TAKE THEM, YOU DISCOVERED IT ENJOY IT JASON👍
Would love to see you do some more research about the history of the mine and let us know.. 👍
Being a chemist and familiar with chemical salt colors, the green just screams Nickel to me. I may be wrong as some copper compounds can also get like that but that pale tealish green is typical for Nickel salts.
Jason, Thanks for sharing.
Your keen to point out the obvious for prospectors.
Coolies.
That devil's glove looks wicked.
I'm going to look it up.
Be in the know.
That rock you found in the creek would make awesome cabs!!👍👍😁 I will check your store. Thanks👍👍
I strive to do what you do everyday, Jason! Getting back to a simpler time. I like the idea of leaving all materials from the mine as you found them. Too many places get destroyed and it’s a testament to the miners that built that addit.
If I had the money I'd go around doing what Jason and Dan do, and buy up properties like this just to make sure no one else destroys them. Maybe I'd work the sites too a little bit the main goal would be to prevent it from being developed.
Waterfall gold mine, the dream.
It's amazing the amount of work that people did so many years ago to gain some wealth. With primitive tools.
Take them, take everything, and preserve everything you find in a collection!
Keep what you found dude! It's awesome 👍
I have been there before! I found the place prospecting just like you were. I left everything there!
It was an old prospect! Good find Jason!
I would do a couple of things if I were you. If you get back to that spot again, I would take and preserve the lock before someone else pulls it off only to toss it later. I would also send a pic of that beautiful green round rock off to Dan Hurd (who loves to make cabs) and see what he thinks about marketability of that stone. He seems to have a real good feel for such. Good luck!
Just mail him some samples, so he can do a video, Eh!
Awesome to watch. - love the WA cascades. The old timers hustled. Pickaxe head on your wall is approved.
Dang man, that's the most excited I've ever seen you. 😂😂😂
I like this channel I just discovered it really interesting
You found Kryptonite! Lol Great video, enjoyed watching your adventure.
I live in SoCal, and I'm a rockhound. I own several large-ish chunks of mariposite that I purchased at various gem & mineral shows, but my samples aren't nearly as richly hued in the green as your chunks are, while my experience with most chromium-containing minerals shows that richer green coloring. That said, we all know that there's plenty of variation within a specific mineral class, so your stuff can easily be mariposite as well.
Nice find! It is interesting they put so much effort mining into the mountain without working more on the obvious exposures on the surface.
Great follow up on the Mistry mine tucked away in the mighty Cascades. Might be interesting to look into mine records; maybe it was registered? Before Statehood? Seems like a lot of work went into this prospect! thanks again~~
Such a beautiful place😍 and thank you for finishing that video, feel much better 😁. That mine reminded me of exploring abandend caves when I was little in Thames New Zealand. Really good time! ☺️
Also look forward to seeing your rock saw in action. I love it
Thanks for taking us along on an amazing journey. The Cedar Door mine needs to be examined and documented. It would be interesting to find out any history of who and when.
Merci beaucoup i was waiting for This second part i m exciting to Know What you will found on this secret mine
That was an awesome adventure~! Big thumbs up!!
Beautiful country, I envy what you do brotha. As for the artifacts left behind, I think you should take them if you desire them. I'm sure the people that left them there won't mind because you're not only a miner etc, you're an educator and ambassador to prospecting that we love. Thanks for the great vids. Peace🙏🕉️
Looks like Dan Hurd has brought Jason over to the dark side lol
Jason is getting the rock hound fever!
Great video!
Great job Jason! I love old abandoned mines! Great find!
That is a paradox! But you're an honest man and can display them come for educational reasons. And the joy of passing on the knowledge. But the mind, should be kept your secret ! To be handed down at a later time it's location! I love making all old iron, when I'm prospecting... Every piece tells A story and the more you know the true the story...
Awesome video... Thanks for sharing
Hi Jason! I work as an archaeologist in Washington State. What you have found would likely be considered a historic archaeological site, and how to process it would depend in part on what kind of land it is on (i.e public lands has different regulations than say private). I don't know how this would apply to say mineral rights or land claims, but the state historic preservation office would have more guidance if you are interested in reaching out.
What so they can shut it down and block access for all time? The government ruins everything.
Government involvement is not the best option sorry but government destroys and hides history
Hmm,,,, Understandable possible historical significance... Very Fortunate, Jason's attitude confirms preservation etc. However, as a prospector, I would be quiet about ANY Information, until I completely evaluated Mineral extraction possibilities or Not. Even after that - Probably wouldn't.
"I'm from the government and I am here to help". Sure buddy.
Incredible mine find!
Greetings from the BIG SKY. Been in the Cascade Mountains a few times, nice country.
Keep it the story keeps the history alive
Looks like a video game easter egg find congrats wicked cool
Man that green rocks gorgeous...
Incredible fun great video! Leave stuff there, it will be funner next time you return.
That is a great find
Nice work Jason
I’m thinking the green material is nickel?
The various old tools and stuff, leaverite. Imho it is way better to keep it interesting for the next person to discover.
Cool find dude.
Peace Prospector Tripp
You found them take.them.and enjoy.them preserve history.enjoy.your finds
Agreed. Leave it. Story book find. Awesome
I think if you took the whole door and hung it up in your work shop along with the tools would be a great way to preserve it either way nice find
Cool find Jason!
I say, leave the artifacts behind for future generations to enjoy and also add to it! Return with some modern-day coins and maybe leave a sign asking others to leave everything as-is.
I love Mariposite. There are many examples in roadcuts here in Mariposa county. I recall seeing some large rocks at the base of a cliff along a road. I have always wanted to return and gather some rocks to put in my garden. I don't know much about the gold bearing aspects.
I think you should have taken them with you. The door was already opened a little bit when you started your way in great video. I enjoyed it thx you for sharing
That's a super cool discovery.
This was one great video Jason the start to finish!
Again great video!!!! Take some of the green rock or quartz and crush and smelt it, bet you get some kind of metal!
I have been enjoying a number of your videos recently, audio seems to suffer some times but the video looks great, keep up the great work
Take the lock and old tools. You will appreciate them more than the next guy 😊
Hello Jason. I've spent years prospecting were your at. I'm older now and dont get around much. But try the south east side of baker lots of river gold. I miss the exploring !!
If you’re the only one who knows where it is and it’s been sitting there for over 100 years, you should definitely leave it. You’ve experienced it’s awesomeness, thanks for sharing the experience.
I would leave the artifacts where you found them. Now would be the perfect time to practice your photography skills.
that green rock you found in the creek would look awesome as a sphere
I think I just witnessed “delight” in the eyes of Jason standing just outside that little wooden door. 😉
I couldn't wait for part 2 thank you
Right on Jason cool Brother 😎
It's nice to see you out in the field working great show. Like to see out on the creek.
Nickel/chromium oxides are commonly green. I think the blue would indicate copper. I can't wait to see what any assay results turn out. the quartzite with the iron/yellow I'm curious about...might check down further/deeper for any other hidden addit's? Cool stuff. I'd restore the mine opening/door and leave it intact for history unless you get hints at something worth persueing.
Can you imagine working that shaft and getting food and supplies up to that mine!
Wow!
Imagine that! ⛏️
Outstanding Jason! 🙏
Following creeks here in Australia while fishing I have often come across patches of habitation that would have been several days walking to what would have been the nearest town. They are usually on a bit of flat land next to the creek and will have non native vegetation on them like a fruit tree or bulb type flowers or some roofing tin. If you poke around you may find where they threw their rubbish and you can find tin cans, glass jars and bottles cutlery and plates. We generally leave them be but if I find a nice piece I will take it to the nearest town historical society to add to their collection. I once traveled through some of the 40er gold area in California and stopped in several old mining towns and I felt like I was right back home in the old mining town I live in. The buildings look the same and the interior fitting look the same. The Victorian gold rush was after California so a lot of 49ers came here.
The rock with the quartz stringers would make the most fantastic kitchen counters❤
This video is simply wonderful no doubt about it. I love it!!
As for the treasures previous prospectors left behind…that’s a hard decision. Damn if you do and damn if you don’t. My opinion.. I’d love to have the old treasures.. pick and all the drills..but I’m a firm believer in Karma. Being raised in mountains my Grandmother always told us.. Do good and it will come back to you one day. Do bad and karma will kick ya behind.
Great video very intriguing, I wonder where all the rock went that they removed while tunneling 70 feet I would think there would be big piles in the vicinity.
Great find Jason, that’s amazing
I'm wondering if you can stake a claim on the mine you found and then register it as a historical representation of mining. That, if excepted, would open up state or federal grant money to showcase it. Just thinking out loud .. Great vid as always Jason.. Chris..
I can’t imagine a better idea for it.
Yeah that also a solution. Them tools need to be resqued tho before they turn into nothing but oxide. Remove old rulst and and give it preserving coating. 👍 and the can be seen for many years to come!
That was some cool rocks and find u did
Excited bout this one have some ideas about places to look at on your side of border.between ross lake to similkameen and the creeks in between those two points .just my opinion but lots of big mines through that stretch on Canadian side so ...
Very cool find in the hills and streams. What a find, old mine
Awesome adventure and an Amazing discovery man. That's priceless.
The items at the mine will eventually rust away to nothing if left and no one will get to see them and be inspired by their unknown history. I think the history of the mine is less about abandonment of an unprofitable mine and more about someone who walked away with the intention to come back and for some reason was unable to. Why do I think that? Because all of those items cost money and were still useful. If someone knew they weren't coming back, say because they found a richer spot to work, they would have taken those items with them to use at the new site. And that goes right down to the wood in the door and the nails holding it together. 100 years ago it wasn't a disposable society like we have today. If something was still usable it would have been used.
Someone wasn't going to leave a perfectly good lock and even the hasp on a mine that had no values to protect. It would have been taken with if they were moving on to greener pastures. Admittedly the wood from the door didn't have the same value as the wood in a desert area because there are tons of trees to get more wood right outside the door, but the lock and tools would have taken some effort to replace beyond just dropping another tree and whittling away some boards.
You should take the tools and lock and make them into a display that can teach people about what mining was before haul trucks.
I am curious about what you saw around the mine. You can't dig a 60-80 foot deep hole without having a tailings pile that should be quite significant and still visible on the landscape. Unless of course you are hauling it all away for processing which raises a whole other possibility of what was it being processed for. If it isn't there then it had to have values of some sort.
100%
28:30 Holy crap lol when you rounded that corner I thought your equipment with your hat on top was a person waiting for you at first glance.
Such a cool place to find a mine at!
