Every abandoned mine is dangerous, I know this. But even I have my limits and in this section of the mine my inner voice was SCREAMING!

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!
Ok, now for the ugly stuff...

I can probably speak for many of us who enjoy what you do and how you do it, (camera wise, explanations, etc:) that when you go out alone to some of these mines, we WORRY about you, Gly. Stay safe, no amount of views is worth your life, buddy!
True statement, I wonder how many times per video people say this same thing. I know I've left the same comment a few times on his videos lol
Same here. Gly, we really, really don't want anything to happen to you. Wish you could have at least someone outside waiting to see you.
The camera work is top tier quality man
Its better to die doing something you love than rotting from old age....
We know he gets back, or there'd be no upload!
At 27:20 you checked the face. That showed the "bootlegged" remains of a "burn cut". The force of the shots is directed at the floor, with the lifters fired last to move the muck back from the face. In older mines the drilling technology relied on a "vee cut", which blew everything straight back down the drift, hence the need for the steel blasting sheets often found in older mines.
“ The Athletes Foot Mine” quite a ring to it. Don’t forget to wash your hands if you touch the Foot Wall.
Another great video Gly, thanks for all you do.
What’s next for Gly? A 10,000ft long adit with drifts splitting off in different directions? Or a 1000ft deep shaft with 6-7 levels of drifts both left and right? Who knows… In my opinion the bigger the better. Always go as far as you can without putting yourself in danger.
Gly, when you said "...This is bad, let's keep going!" just cracked me up. Are you channeling Frank with the danger factor? Wow, what a rotten mine.
I thought WHAT?
As much as I love your content and what you do, this is one of the mines that made me uncomfortable. I've learned a lot about geology and mines from your videos and let me tell you, not even I'd go in this mine. The whole damn place looked ready to come down. I've gone into some stupid places, but please don't go into mines like this one alone.
“Gly”: There’s no doubt… this one was bad.
Good Saturday morning Gly, loving all the mine adventures and I am so glad you take us along with you. Take care and stay safe Gly! 💞😊
This is more of a Frank mine than a Gly Coolness mine. You usually do the nice and dry mines and Frank does the ones that look like Davy Jones locker
“Gly”: Haha! That’s a great analogy. 👍
Found it real interesting when you pointed out the echo / non-echo areas and as you walked along it became very noticeable. Thanks for the education Gly !
Why do I get the feeling that when Gly goes to a grocery store he lingers for a very long time in the produce section next to the mushrooms?
“Gly”: 🍄 😵💫
He's a real fung guy
@@flam8882 fun gly
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces wouldn't that be "miner's foot!?"
Wow, that's probably the wettest mine you've taken us to. More Frank's style I think. Rather creepy, all the mold and crumbly rock and rotten wood. Glad you made it out safely.
😂 👍, Frank takes inflatable rafts on his mine documentation’s 🤪
Gly ..I'm so glad I found your channel about 3 years ago....you let us explore these mines safely through your expertise...Thank You
Incredibly threatening mine... very glad you have the common sense to turn back when you know things are too bad! Keep yourself safe out there, this is some seriously crazy stuff. Love your content and wishing you safety and lots of cool mines!
Just loved it. I have some health issues and I can't do this myself, but this channel lets me have all the fun of exploring these types of places. I can't thank you enough for that. Please stay safe.
There might be one other category of collapse worth mentioning. That is where there has been a fire. Timbers are gone or cooked and the rock most certainly is cooked. That would most likely be my stopping point. Thanks for mentioning the gauge. Cheers.
Thank you for being my window to exploring. I'm not capable of doing what you do, but I want to see it all.
Whenever you see fungus, mildew and/or mold you should immediately put on an appropriate respirator to filter out any spores that might be airborne or dislodge by you. Believe me, any infection cause by any of those can be really nasty as well as misdiagnosed by a doctor.
Wow! What a huge mine. Lots of water too. Some way dangerous sections. Thanks for the tour, Gly!
Stay safe and have a blessed day Gly!
thank you for the time and trouble you take to explain and show places that most of us would not even dare go into I can say most definitely may God bless and keep you safe🙏😊
“Gly”: Thank you!
Gly you have nerves of steel! I would have chickened out 1/4 of the way in that tunnel 😂🤣😅. I love your videos, blessings and safe travels my friend❤️🙏
Gly, you've got the best mine explorations in the "Tube", and I subscribe and watch them all: Frank and Sharon, Jeff, Justin, Jon and Julie along with a half dozen others. You always get watched first. Feep up the great work!
“Gly”: Thank you! We’re all having fun doing what we’re doing and we all enjoy bringing it to you each week. I’m happy to see diversification amongst mine explorers on RUclips and I’m also happy to see everybody doing their best to be safe.
"There Is Fungus Among Us" is my favourite intro yet! Epic exploring my friend. Stay safe
I would have stopped at the fist collapse. You surprised me when you went past it and the second one and even more! Thanks for a great adventure.
That was one really cool mine. Good choice not to go further. Thanks for taking us along as usual.
Watched every explore you've done,,,,this one scared me a bit,,,glad your safe and thanks
“Gly”: Thanks! Yes, this was a very dangerous mine.
All that himin and humin and goble-de-do a ha in has got me goosed. Be safe thanks for the tour. 😀
Pretend we know of an ore body behind that pinch, what would the process of reopening the mine look like? I assume it would involve a team of miners essentially blasting out a new tunnel, either expanding the current tunnel or running one parallel.
I used to work for Phillips 66 until we merged and made ConocoPhillips then we split again and I stayed with ConocoPhillips and Phillips 66 was a stand alone. I still work for ConocoPhillips as a SR IT analyst. 23 years now. My world of IT wouldn’t go into the mines but geology fascinated me because of my oil industry background.
that was one dangers mine don't think it be around much longer the way its collapsing and i take my hat off to you for going into some of those areas just amazing work, So Gly how far Do you think you got into the mine before the collapse area looks like you got a good way into it.
“Gly”: I’m guessing I made it nearly 3000Ft out of the total 8167Ft.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces you just wonder what else was back there how many more drifts there was and even if there was another way up a set of ladders.
Thank you Gly for another great video, I'm watching from Eastern Kentucky this morning, getting to watch a new video of yours taking a day off from work and resting makes for a great start of the day. Looking forward to next weekends video.
That (40:43) my friend, is what we call a...
...thingamajinger.
(Otherwise known as, (aka,) a; "whatchamacallit.") 👍
Another great trip from the guy who has a wealth of knowledge etc, enjoyed the way you explain, and not keep us guessing cause we don't know squat. Thanks gobs!!!
The fungus you found on this I found similar in my most recent trip to a tungsten mine and I thought it was roots from above, but then realised I was a hell of a way under mountain.
Another quality Saturday episode with my man Gly Coolness! I’m always amazed at what can be found in these old mines. Thanks again Gly!
This has got to be one of the darkest, dampest mines I have ever seen you in. It's an incredible mind trick that such saturated ground seems to just absorb so much light. The point before you decided to turn back with all those marked ore bodies is such a stark contrast to the light colors we are used to seeing the last few years along with the amount of ore that was left behind in those giant rooms, it feels like you were walking us in for a tour of a still active mine and really gave me the feel of what it would have been like to be there every day and what you would properly see in a working mine as far as the earth goes. Just under halfway through the video at this point but wanted to get the comment down to get my thoughts out before I forgot them.
There's a few tungsten mines around there that occur with beryl & other Be minerals, e.g. the Lost Toe in Mineral Co.
A great explore Gly, very interesting but when you said"...This is bad, let's keep going, you sounded like our friend Frank who always says : it is doable lol that silent mine needs a sigh that says :enter at your own RISC, wow that one is dangerous indeed, you were very wise too stop.
Thank you for staying safe and putting safety first my friend
Think I enjoyed that episode a little more than most. So much colour, don't think I have seen that much in any of your previous videos.
Hi Gly, what a cool mine but it definitely had it's dangers.
Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
Hello Gly
Thank you for the Video
A amazing working with very skechy parts .
You did Well to stop and dont force your luck against the voice in the head that screams stop dont go further
Have a good sunday and a happy New week
Take care yours Frank Galetzka
it almost looks like those timbers where burned,gly great videos thanks
I love listening to these as I'm going to sleep, very nice
Awesome stuff mate! 👍😎🇦🇺
Adventurous yet cautious. That's why you'll be around to take us on another journey. Thank you 👍
Thanks again. James
Don’t walk thru that mouldy water Gly, who knows what you’d breath in! 🇦🇺🍺🍺
Gly went to the danger zone
He took a stride in to the danger zone
But unlike Kenny Loggins, he thought better and turned back
Please stay safe and keep on bringing us amazing videos!
The excelleration formula works great for divining the depths of shafts. It’s what I use, have you heard of it? It’s 16 feet times seconds squared. You drop in a small rock, count the seconds till it hits, square that time lapse, then multiply that result times 16. That will give you the distance in feet. Vincent Becker
i can totally understand talking to yourself. sometimes its the only way to have an intelligent conversation.😇
Hi gly the type of fungus you saw looks like slime mold. It’s pretty cool!
Brilliant ,love watching your adventures.Have you considered wearing a respirator/ face fit mask when high concentration of fungus due to potential airborne spores? Just a thought.😊
Good job Gly , love what you do.
Benny Hill had a song called The Garden Of Love, one of the lines was "All the fungus here reminds me of all the fun Gus is having with you!"
Hey Gly, 2 things, don't know if your aware of this but you talking to yourself is comforting and you say the things most people would say to themselves if we were alone in a mine. Second, I'm claustrophobic and I would have a panic attack if I had to enter a mine, you going in helps me work on my own fears, thanks for going in. Jason
Wow Gly this one should be called danger danger. I would have turned around at the door!!!
Very nice old timer
Another wonderful video gly, cant wait 😁👍
Enjoyable watching Gly, thanks!
Hi Gly, good call. The ground conditions were poor when they drove that drift. They used rail track for spiling. I could see the rail on top of the caps. I have spiled through ground using rail for spiling. When you see that stay out of the timber sets are rotted.
Saturday is my favorite day of the week because it’s when you upload and I can watch another exciting adventure!
That was fantastic thank you so very much
I always wanted Indiana Jones to be real not just a movie character. I always wanted someone to be fearless yet cautious...strong and capable just like Indie. My search is over, Gly is the real Indiana Jones! Be safe out there Gly and be good! 🙏🏽
“Gly”: And, I don’t hate snakes. 👍
Flumph is a great description of what the cieling sounds like when it drops near by you, i had forgotten until Gly said it 😱, it brought back some hair standing moments for me.....
My God! If anyone still questions why I don't hang out with you much anymore.........
“Gly”: Haha! Yeah, this one would’ve required some type of expensive post-therapy or at least given you nightmares.
Might give me nightmares anyway.
I Miss You!!! I left a message if your curious to see what I had to say ... I greatly enjoy your vids too Magnifico!!! 👏🏻🙂
Comment # 154:
There were so many times, I thought you'd say, Nope, I'm not that brave, and head back. But no, you kept going. I was glad when you, finally said it. Glad to you see you back outside. See you, for sure, next weekend. Blessings.
“Gly”: The areas I was going through is what I call “stuff collapse”. It’s plenty dangerous but far less dangerous than the area where I turned back. That area was like wet gravel being held up by rotting timbers just waiting for a victim.
You do know that's how a ton of horror movies start. Someone in a dark, damp place with weird looking mold/fungus around going "Neat lets get a closer look" LMAO. With how these last few years have went I think that was getting a little to close lol
It was a neat trip. Old and musty. Seems like Frank and Sharon were in the mine. Good to see ya. Stay safe.
Thanks!
Somebody said you were a fungi 🍄 and you really know your schist! Enjoyed the video and the corny humor 😎
To climb the waterfall ladder you'd need _Climbing Pitons_ and all the other climbing gear to scale a sheer rock face. Way outside my wheelhouse.
Wow, that was a wet and dark one. Like the waterfall ore chute, time for a shower, lol. It used to go 8,000 feet, but the crumbly wet conditions made that stop mine stop short. Bummer you didn't get into any of the stopes. That one very wet timbered section puckered me up too. Glad u didn't go all the way through. Good call. I guess you can call that mine The White Wet Moldy Stink Mine. Haha. Looks like you're having a great time in wonderous Nevada, peace and love my brother.
“Gly”: I’d like to get into those upper workings but I won’t do it solo. Maybe Frank and I can play in this one together at a later date and try and get up that waterfall ladder.
" guys this is bad, bad, bad! Ok guys lets go on!". Lol
Thanks, Gly, better safe than sorry. Safe journeys.
Have my coffee and enjoying this week of mine exploring. Question, when you were at the really stinky spot, the walls of the mine looked as if someone had made a stone wall. Was this effect due to water, rock structure or a lighting effect? Thank you Gly, I've been watching you for at least 2years and look forward to my Saturday mornings with Gly.
“Gly”: It was just a dead animal, probably a rat. I don’t recall seeing any stacked rocks in this mine.
Sorry Gly,. Stinky spot was just a reference point. The walls were just interesting.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
"Here's that bad section... let's get through it real quick" - this *entire mine* appears to be one giant "bad section"....
With all the rotting wood was surprised yer O2 meter was not going crazy. Be safe. Love and Peace.
Gly meets a new friend, a real fungi!
i so enjoy your videos. informative, great camera work, and your sense of wonder and humor make for a wonderful experience. thank you
Thanks
“Gly”: Thank you!
Thanks
Nice. Episode, very enjoyable
Wow really Great explore
Nice work again Gly , excellent footage in among all that dampness
There's a fungus among us, did you listen to Dr. Fishbeck when you were a kid? That was one of his lines "at ease disease there's a fungus among us". Thanks for the great video.
Looked like Gly was gonna find the Upsidedown for sec
Another GREAT episode Gly! Stay safe out there.
You aught to come visit Cornwall or Wales to explore some 600+ year old tin or lead mines! make sure you bring a wetsuit n wellingtons tho
Hi from Syracuse NY and good morning everyone thank you for sharing your adventures
Again. Thanks for another great explore. You stay face this week on your next one.
I believe this one Frank might like. Dark. Wet. Dreary, and long. And a lil mold. A man has to know his limits. I don't think i would have ventured into some of those ades either. Anyhoo, another great epusode.
It's ok to talk to yourself. It's when you argue with yourself that you need to start worrying. LOL
Thank you for another Great Explore and as always stay safe and Healthy.
Boy you go where Others are Afraid to Venture!!!
that black fungus on the wall looks like a Georgia o'keef painting
Thank you very much !
Athlete's foot taking over, starting a new, vibrant, subterranean civilization 😅
With how wet and soft alot of this mine is, it reminds me of the mines up here in north Idaho. Most of them you don't dare enter. I have a good time watching you go down in these dark places gly, I'm not as knowledgeable or experienced so I will leave the hard work up to you lol thanks for another Saturday morning video
“Gly”: I really do prefer dry mines but occasionally I will step out of my comfort zone and play around in a wet one.
