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!

“Gly”: *PLEASE READ* Thank you for all of your comments, you guys are awesome!! I just wanted to clarify that at first I thought I triggered a collapse and that is why I ran for the exit. It wasn’t until I got back on my feet when I heard for a second time even more stomping sounds and rocks falling further up in the mine. Tomorrow (Monday April 27) I will be going back to this same mine to try and figure out what animal made the sounds. If all goes well and I’m not eaten alive (I’m joking) I will post what I find in Episode 51 on Saturday May 2nd. I have no intentions of hurting the animal or myself for that matter but I’ll do my best to solve this mystery. Wish me luck!!
What was Mr M doing outside? Did he find a open stope possibly and toss a few rocks for our jollies. Well i hope that it is not a mountain lion those things are bad news esp when youre in their turf.
oxskirra
“Gly”: After filming the first mine M was in his Jeep having lunch while I filmed the second mine.
too bad you don't have one of those trail cams you could leave there to see what it was when or if it comes out but there is know tree or anything to prop a trail cam on but I can hear something just before you fall
At 29:32 if you wear headphones you can hear something go boom boom boom boom boom that's crazy
“Gly”: Ok, I had time to respond to a few comments this morning while I wait for Mr. M . Time to go solve the mystery of the “Sasquatch Mine”.
The "animal" was Mike the Miner. They NEVER told him they closed the mine and was working overtime...what a paycheck. LOL!
What happened?
Who’s mike the miner
@@Watson407 they were making a joke about the animal encounter in the video
Plot twist: The mining crew only probed that area and found no veins so they moved to a new spot on the mountain, Mike was pretty new so he didnt get the memo and kept working away mining tunnels thinking he had his own tunnels to dig. This entire mine was made solely by Mike The Miner not to mention countless animals he had to fight for food and skin for clothes or repair tool handles. He sued for not only ULTRAtime he got compensation for loss of his speech due to becoming one with the animals of this now cavern, becoming feral and aggressive towards humans THUS what was heard in the video. WOW! What a paycheck! Gotta be enjoying all that money surely!!! LMAO (Just for the Mike The Miner Lore lol's)
If anyone ever asks why women live longer than men I just show them this channel. Good stuff man. I feel like a teenager again just exploring all kinds of random abandoned places. Very well done
Women give you a verbal list of challenges, duties, and historical wrongs that females have to endure. When I run across one of these, I ask them, if it's so bad, how come women live 10 years longer than men?
I got stuck in a cave one time. I finally got out but the entrance was so tight and before I knew what was going on a damn beaver was wrapped around my neck. I immediately started crying and screaming, but then the doctor handed me to my mother and said it’s a boy!
Lmaoooo
It's a fine line between spunking and spelunking.
Hilarious. You got me till the end ah ha
Bruh
If I know your mother then that entrance definitely wasn't tight!
That dead stop, the "uh ooh!" moment while the adrenaline blasts into your veins and tells you "Run or fight!", then you respond and your legs are saying "What??" as you fall over yourself! Nice to laugh at later on, but NO fun as it happens! Real glad the critter retreated (even more glad that it COULD retreat!)! Thanks for the explore, Gly, stay safe!👍❤️👍
“Gly”: It’s interesting how you react unconsciously in those types of situations. At first I thought it was a collapse but then quickly realized it was most likely a animal. Nevertheless, I just couldn’t get the rest of my body to move as fast as my feet. Lol
Abandoned and Forgotten Places I understand, inertia being what it is! "A body at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by massive fear!"✌️👍
Could be a wild Kardasian. A gold digger anyway.
lmao
So funny that one
She aint messing with no broke broke !!
😄
Someone is salty they don’t have that kind of money or a lady that sexy.
I saw/heard many Mtn Lions and you bearly hear them, even when they're running,. Next time don't turn your back on them, back out. I was a biologist in Ca Region and had too many run ins with Mtn Lions. Thanks for the video.
“Gly”: Well, initially I thought it was a collapse occurring in front of my and that’s why I turned and ran. Having experienced one once before you only have seconds to retreat from the area. After I got back up from the floor and heard the second noise that’s when I realized it was probably an animal.
@Great Gandalf Could you give some time-stamps?
@@rightsideupaustralian1252 28:55
I too have had run-ins with notoriously unfriendly mountain lions and you really want to run like hell but as with all cats running away motions trigger them instinctively to attack. Mountain lions almost always attack from behind. I have no other real advice just good luck with that.
It really sounded like a collapse to me.
“Gly”: I’d say my RODE microphone only picked up 30% of what it really sounded like. This is what “fight or flight” mode looks like on camera. Lol
Abandoned and Forgotten Places It definitely was exciting thing to see! Do you think maybe it could’ve been other people who were using the mine for something nefarious or something like that?
Woah, a meeting of two giants. Love your stuff, fellas.
@@AbandonedMines11 hey their my friend.nice seeing you here.Im following this guy today.
Their lot of wind and dusk.
Hide a trail camera near the entrance, lets see what it is.
“Gly”: We discussed that.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces No use discussing it, do it
PA
“Gly”: I’m headed back there Monday to try and get it on film.
that's cool, be so interesting to see what you startled or "who"
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Say hi to Bigfoot for all of us :)
Somewhere there's a video of another explorer, who entered the mine at a different place & is wondering whether the beast they encountered is Sasquatch 😂.
Amazing how fear can take years away and replenish your youth. Stay safe.
“Gly”: Haha.. ain’t that the truth!
I just love imaging the men who built these mines and how tough it must have been.
Thank you for explaining the geology and mineralogy of the mine. I wish more explorers did that.
28:55 what you came here to see
Thank you
Much appreciated
Thank you.
GhxstEu BLESS YOUR HEART
Thanks
I love how it happened right when he said "this is fantastic"! That's just like my life, just when I think it's going great the expected unexpected happens
Two of us were exploring a good sized mine in a very remote area which we had to hike at night into to avoid the daytimes heat. That long hike at night up the side of a desert mountain made it clear there was no other humans anywhere near. After getting into the mine a few hundred feet I had been telling my friend how the mind does not like no information coming in and what it does when confronted with such. To prove my point we had a sit and killed all the lights and were sitting in the silent dark for long enough that we each thought the other had fallen asleep... Started hearing intermittent sounds and thought it was just the mind playing tricks until suddenly a good sized rock shifted just a few feet from where we were... We both hit our lights at the same time and I don't know who was more shocked us or the ring tailed cat staring back at us! It turned and flew back out so fast id swear its tail left a light trail behind it.... It sure sounded way bigger then it turned out to be before we saw what it was that had got so close to us.
They kept seeing him at a distance in death valley. He would always disappear before they got to where they last saw him. Many items were stolen from visitors and hikers in death valley, from water jugs, food, and even a 4-wheel buggy. Long story short, when the law finally caught him they learned he was a felon running away from the Canadian Mounties. A warning to those who travel alone...it ain't safe.
@@johig4378 Oh man, that makes it even more freakier. Like that old urban legend about the hermit that lived in some protected national park /forest. Some photographer had set out on a multi day hike and camp in the national park to photograph the elusive hermit and didn't see anything at all for the entire five day's expedition until the morning of his return; looked like someone had looted his camp and stole food and water, the night prior. But the real scare was when the photographer went back home and stuck his camera's SD card into his laptop, and to his surprise, and horror, saw the last few pictures were of the photographer's sleeping face...! 😳
the best is when the cat turns out to be nice and follows you through the mine! ive had a few of those.
like a ghost of a miner that took on a cat to help us explore.
The anxiety I had while watching this knowing as any minute you’d run into a mountain lion or something. 😂😂
Same! Im in the middle of the video right now and completely terrified
Dude your the best.. wish you and Frank were still together but its almost like you dont need each other. Love ya bud. Stay safe.
Famous last words:
"That ladder looks sketchy"
"That terrace looks thin"
"Let's check it out"
"I'm going in"
"Let's peek back in here, maybe we'll see some eyes"
Ok 4 straight days in I’ve decided yours is by far the best exploration channel on YT. I tried some others again given the algorithm, but you, your friends and old Bob are a cut above not only familiarity but something about your demeanour and how you present makes yours a better channel than the many others in this category.
I was inspecting the entrance to a small mine just south of Ward, Colorado a few months ago and felt something was behind me. I turned around to see a very full sized male mountain lion was stalking me and was about 40 feet away. I yelled at it without thinking and the only words that came to mind were "BAD KITTY!!!!" It stopped and crouched down on a rock about 8 feet above me, observing me as I slowly walked backwards away from it, still yelling "BAD KITTY!!!". LMAO. Never run from a lion as it triggers their I'm gonna catch you reflexes. SHOUT at it and try to appear as aggressive as possible. I now carry an air horn and pyro noisemakers with a torch lighter. Glad you're safe, and your videos are some of the best out there! Seriously pro! Keep it up!!!
“Gly”: Thanks! My first instinct is that it possibly triggered a collapse and I’m certain if I would have seen an actual animal I would have reacted differently. Animals generally don’t frighten me as I grew up in a place where grizzlies and cats are common. How you reacted to that big cat was appropriate and that’s exactly what someone should do with that type of an encounter.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Better safe than cat food. Animals generally don't frighten me either and I love black bears which are very common here, but facing off with a big cat is legitimately frightening.
Lol painted a perfect picture in my head
Battle scars! The sound or "gait" could be from a hog (I raised a lot in my day) when they take off it is 2 in front and 2 in back so 4 sound like 2. Oh and the dust, that is a 3 beer mine; 2 beers to wash all the dust away so you can taste the 3rd!! Great Vid!!
That was a great shot of the wind blowing the dust out! Really enjoyed that.
I'll have to say, you have balls of steel.
This youtube channel is like a hidden gem
I wish there was a way to see what angle the camera was at. Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m looking up or down or straight lol
And I thought I was the only one having the same problem!
@@goldCrystalhaze I know it’s confusing over the screen
I wonder if you could bring a metal detector in there to find old coins.
Bro you’re everywhere lol. I swear I find a new channel and your in the comments haha. Cheaaah 👌
Cheehhhhhhhhhh
Dang bro nice to see you here, your channel rocks by the way
I love the metal detector theme you got going on 😁
I bet you could find some cool shit fo sho 👌
In many national parkland, it's actually illegal to use a metal detector.
It could have also been someone illegally prospecting the mine, and carrying a heavy pack
lol, ok we'll send you down there to test your theory.... I bet it was a decent size mountain lion, being in that area.... Or maybe it was Bigfoot! :P
Its a rocky mountain chupacabra, they've been ranging westward across nevada
I like turtles
Wasn't sure about subscribing but I watched 2 videos and im hooked great stuff man! Have fun and please stay safe
I had something similar happen to me. Just As I started entering a small opening of a mine on my property (I had just bought the property and was exploring) there was a loud commotion. I nearly crapped my pants. I turned and got out quick. The noise continued and I picked up large rocks because that was all that was a available outside the opening. A turkey vulture flew out. It turned out it was tending to an egg near the entrance and was wildly flapping it's wings against the walls of the shaft while trying to fly out. I live in big cat country and have personally seen them locally. I'll take big bird over big cat anytime. It's funny now but during the seconds after the noise, I thought I was going to nature's victim.
I’m so grateful for adventurers such as yourself. My claustrophobia keeps me from these areas!! Thank you!!
Gly you scared the sh*t out of me!! More than once during this video. Don't do that again!! This one had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Excellent!!
I agree with Marie. After you scratched up to that stope and then sliding down, causing all that dust, I thought you could easily slide right into that lower incline. Whew! you didn't.
A timer on my phone went off right as you're running from the noise and my soul left my body. Thanks a lot phone.
The time you don't shine your light all the way down the tunnel to look for glowing eyes, you walk up on something. Glad to see you are ok tho. Oh and I love Mr Ms. laugh.
Mountain Lion. Right when you say, “let’s see if I can find any prints”, you pass over a mountain lion or bobcat paw print. On the left in the old dried mud on the floor, and when you walk forward and pan up from there, you can see a few more old prints kinda in the darker/browner looking spots on the ground. Great video though! I’d love to go with you sometime as I’m just out of Chico, Ca. 😁👍🏻
Is it known that mountain lions and bobcats can make abandoned mines their den?
I'm so happy I found your channel! Your mine adventures are exciting and unique to me. It brings me back to when I tried to explore one myself. Sadly it was closed off, but maybe, since I lack the experience, it was for the best. I wish you well and many thrilling explorations in the future :)
For whatever reason I have been away from your channel for a very long time, so nice to be back with my favourite “acrosst” guy, it’s really haunting to see places lit up that haven’t seen light in decades, also fascinating to see how far and deep man will dig for pay.
You should set up a trail camera and see what you saw. stay safe
What I noticed in that 2nd mine, was footprints to your left, very,very close to the wall. I am a Sasquatch researcher, and those prints from my experience are one in front of the other. I'm saying Sasquatch trackways are VERY unique and recognizable. Try taking a screenshot right at that "oh-oh" moment, and lighten it up....You tell ME what you see!!🦍👣👀👁👁, at 32-15 To 32:17, there are HUGE, BARE -FOOT PRINTS TO YOUR LEFT SIDE!!Awesome!!
This guy has some balls. I've watch a few videos and there's no way I'm going that deep in a mine.
GREAT TIMES! Thank you guys for taking us on great MIND finds ! In a CONFUSED WORLD! Makes me feel normal for a few !
Thanks Gly, wow if covid-19 wasn't enough, encountering a large animal, stay safe and have a great week!
j'adore vos explorations de mines abandonnés fait avec sérieux et un grand plaisir a regarder , de superbe montage, j'apprécie car en France on a pas l'equivalent de vos vieilles mines , en tout cas joli travail , merci pour tout sa
I bet it was a burro or maybe sheep.
“Gly”: Hey Frank! Well, there were no clove shaped hoof prints in the dirt near the portal. My best guess it was a bobcat or mountain lion and it kicked loose a bunch of rock going up an ore pass or shaft trying to escape. To bad the microphone didn’t pick up all of what I heard because the first thing that went through my mind was I triggered a collapse. After that instinct took over and the top part of my body tried to go faster than the lower part. Haha.
Agreed. A lion is very soft footed.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces i could definitely hear the rocks falling
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces That made me laugh! I’m glad you got out safe! You were moving quick I don’t blame you.
could have been a no-clove burrowing cave sheep.
Geez, don't go back in, not unless you're carrying a side arm. Wow! something "new & different" to watch and hear about while viewing a mine explore video. I'm glad that you are still "with us". For a positive comment, really like the way you are segwaying, with a music background, from one mine to the next. Your videos are getting better and better. Thanks so much for your efforts to share these places with us.
Another great explore, great to be able to see during the Covid 19 lockdown here in the UK. Keep up the work and stay well. Best wishes, Paul in Lower Boddington UK.
Coming down a mountain in northern Nevada once, I ran into a bear of some kind foraging in a ravine. I spotted it first. Having left my guns with my brother at the pickup (that had broken down), I just raised my hands over my head and shouted. It looked up and was quite shocked seeing me and immediately galloped out of the ravine and up the mountain. I was told later there are no bears in that vicinity of Nevada. Well, there was at least one, about as big as me (6'). Thanks for sharing these explorations.
Cougars are extremely quiet unless they are making vocalizations so it's pretty unlikely that's what it was.
The guy said he doesnt believe in Sasquatch "and that goofy stuff" so he's obviously one of those humans know everything types and he's trying to rationalize what he just heard even though he said it really sounded like it was on two legs. I'm not saying I believe in sasquatch, but I am aware enough to realize that humans dont know as much as they think they know about nature. There's still all kinds of undiscovered things out there
I remember going into a mine about 15yrs ago and there was a strong odor of urine and feces. Pretty sure is was a mountain lion den. I've smelled them before.
You can definitely get the sense somthing is watching you....super scary.
Good videos, glad I found your channel!
That's scary shit
you guys are doing incredible work, climbing in the mines and making excellent videos 👍
Mr. M's just chuckling outside LOL. Great episode! Glad you weren't eaten =)
7:30 I bet that's where the sheave wheel was for that decline.had the winch outside for easy service
Jesus, my heart felt 100% dread and terror at that moment. Like a primordial terror my ancient ancient ancient ancient ancestors had. Like complete survival - and I'm watching it on my phone.
Too bad you didn't have a trail cam to leave at the entrance.
I didn’t believe in Sasquatch too. That was until 2007. There was no other explanation. I’m from the back woods. It’s print was on my print. If you want to go up there just ask, I’ll give you an exact location. As a hunter, you know when your being stalked. It was not a cat or bear or human. It followed me very closely for about a mile.
Just so you know who I am, I purchased “The Big Goodness.”
Great specimens by the way!
“Gly”: Thanks! Well, until I see a living breathing specimen like a monkey in a cage at the zoo for example I will remain skeptical.
Dude I wont be able to sleep until you figure out what that was.
Lol...that one part when he says it was some thing on 2 feet running I yelled out it’s a Sasquatch and he laughs and says no it wasn’t a Sasquatch...I had to laugh because it was like he heard me through the television good chuckles
No Trespassing:...... “ok guys let’s head inside” 😂
My kinda guy
That is why I take mr. Smith and mr. Wesson with me when I go in mines!!
fire that in a mine, you'll regret not letting the animal eat you.
DUDE I thought you were gonna keep sliding on that loose ground and fall down that shaft . I didn't see you tied to no rope . I clinched so hard when you slid down I might have cracked my spine lol .
In that situation I would rather face the critter . I wouldn't go into or follow anyone into an abandoned mine , but that's me .
Great episode thank you !
The shadow look like a bear you could see something in his back anyway I'm glad you got out safe and sound as always great show
29:00 for all you who came for the animality. Sounds like some rock fall, I replayed it like 10 times, couldn't hear "stomping". Anything could of scattered rocks, acoustics make things sound bigger than they might be. But I agree with the dipping out for even a hint of collapse.
It was someones' mother-in-law.
I need to know where this was filmed so I can move farther away.
I had the foresight to seal the mine I put mine in.
@@justinakers3196 lolol
Every mother is a mother-in-law....how boring! You got anything better...?
@@ingeborgm6147 Every? Are you sure of that?
I'm glad to see you weren.t injured anymore I couldn't face a mountain lion myself we started venturing around in Yosemite backpacking in the part no one goes in a couple times we ran across a couple bears at night, no lions but after a while and into the back country they usually visit your area. My brother was the most experienced one so he knew how to store anything that smelled even soap you could see his claw marks on the tree. It's all about being safe they can have a good nose for finding anything that smells. Thanks for documenting this critter.
I've come real close to cougars a couple times. The second, about 2000, I was finishing working in my shop at something like 2:00 AM and walked outside. Thought I was hearing a woman screaming and was coming from the neighbors house and walked down the road, but then it sounded like it was coming from the house on the other side of ours. Walked over there and it sounded like it was coming from behind our house. Walked out behind our house and barn. There was about 10 inches of snow on the ground and a layer of ice on that, so it crunched load as I walked. I was thinking now, an injured owl or something. About a couple city blocks and I saw it and thought it was a big dog, a great dane. It was about a hundred feet in front of me and walked back and forth in front of me as I kept walking towards it, staying the same distance away, but a slight hill went up on the other side of a 4 ft. fence and it went over it like it wasn't there and when it got up on the hill, I saw it's profile and a very long tail, maybe like four foot of tail. Didn't know cougars got that big. I stopped going and began to back up, not wanting to take my eyes off it. About a city block of that and instead of back and forth, it just kept going. The first time, around 1980, I brought my brother to a dryer up lake and we were walking around it. We thought we saw a fawn down in the lake bed go behind a bush. I thought it would be neet to grab it, pet it and let it be. Told my brother to say there and watch the spot incase I lost the bush going down there. I didn't and was just tencing (sp) my muscles to jump over the bush when the cougar came out and to my left. It walked about three foot from me past my left at a crouch, about knee high. It's tail was about three feet long and fluffed out about as big around as a softball. One more second and I would with little dought have scars to prove the incounter.
Q: how do you catch a cougar
A: a six pack of Bud lime and a Kenney Chesney CD
A couple of trail cameras with infrared to take pictures in the dark with no flash so they don't scare whatever animal it is would be nice to have. I would suggest setting one in the mine where you made first contact with the animal and another with cell service placed at the entrance of the mine that will notify you when a video or picture is taken and you can also call the trial camera and download the pictures from home. It would be really neat to see all the different animals that enter the mines.
Lol! @ 35:11
"Could be a hermit!?"
"Ya' know i don't believe in that goofy stuff"
Thought he said Kermit!🐸
That was me. I thought you were the lion...lol.... I turned and ran, fell into a pile of rubble (collapse you thought you heard), got up kept running. 🤣
I think you encountered a Yeti on vacation ha ha
“Gly”: A Yeti social distancing? Lol
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces lmao
My friend and I went into some solid rock mines in Slick Rock Colorado. We had both our lights go out at once. I told my friend to just set down because he started moving. He sat down and I fixed my light and we got out. It was the last mine I have ever been in.
Hi Gly
Really enjoyed the show, loved the first mine
And then the drama of the critter mine & a very unsympathetic M ! 😂
Really look forward to the latest instalment
Keep up the good work Gly
Haven’t done any comments for a long time , but have kept up to date with all the vids. So you have had some good adventures and tonight no 50 you’ve adventured into the Den . I think you’ve known it would happen sooner or later front paw back paw hit the ground roughly the same time giving that loping sound . So I’d say puddy cat. You handled it well and walked your way out . Mostly other people would be running as fast as they can . Off soap box this 70 year old is about to call it a night . Once again you have made my week so take care of the wounds. From Australia thanks 🦁🦁🦁🐿
“Gly”: Your right, it was only a matter of time. The next thing I’d like to find and film is a rattlesnake den, from a safe distance of course. I’m happy your enjoying the adventures! Take care!
I love your videos you make me want to be there right behind you I love the West but I wish you could explain some of the terms that you're using such as drift and other other phrases that you use to describe something cuz I don't know what they mean so could you please do that sometime and a couple of your videos I'd appreciate it thank you
“Gly”: Thank you! I’ve been explaining mining terms and geology in more of recent videos. Please take a look at some of my newer material.
Gly - I actually have accidently cornered Cougar in CA abandoned (I thought) goldmine 5-'72, seen a Sasquatch in Mich 4-'91, & Chupacabra in Louisiana 9-'15. 1st one scared as I was so I backed away, 2nd standing amid spruce tree on pipeline road so he backed into Jackpine, & 3rd ran like hell real close across I-10 so I'm real unlucky I guess. Your encounter was w/afellow-trezz-pazzer, so if you ever decide to go back, I believe you'll find 'em working the visible gold seams on walls. Take your .44 Mag if you want, but avoid a murder charge by shouting Universal Challenge "Ice Cold Budweiser?". You might find a friend that loves gold (and Bud) as mush as you do!! Good luck!!!
“Gly”: I went back to this mine. Please watch episode 51. 👍
28:06 Clearly see large tracks along the left ribs.
I did too. Did you notice Gly?
Ya, it looked like it, they were coming and going.
32.12 when he goes back in there looks to be a big bare foot print on the left and those foot prints look deep compared to anything else
@@4x4andfishing .... Ya, I see exactly what you're saying. I actually see what looks like multiple bare footprints that are really deeply sunk in the ground. It also looks like that ground has been saturated at one time, maybe if it rains very heavily the water makes its way through air shafts and comes down the mountain inside the mine trails and that could explain those footprints. They definitely don't look like shoe prints, but rather bare footprints.
Thanks for the catch, very interesting video.
Big cats or small house cats, they love to walk along side the walls. never down the middle.
Mr M laughing at you is the best part of this video
If I'm not mistaken the Battle of Iwo Jima was in March of 1945 not 1943
“Gly”: Your correct, that 3 must have been a 5.
@Matthew Erwin it started in February and ended in March I forgot to mention when it actually started and you forgot to mention when it actually ended and that was March 26th
You have some balls mate.
Wouldn't catch me down little tunnels.
My old man was buried in a collapse before I was born,luckily for me he survived but only just.
They were gunna take him straight to the morgue.
He told me one day, the only time you need to be underground boy, is when you're dead..
So I stay on top..
R.I.P. Dad... 1924-1995..
You hurt yourself trying to run,stay calm and get the fire arm out,then proceed with caution..could have got the million dollar video :)
Easy for me too say huh lol :)
“Gly”: Lol. Yeah, easy for you to say. My poop stained underwear are still in a Montana mine where I was almost caught in a cascading collapse.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces would like to see that video. Montana mines are awesome!!! I miss it out there.
Lee Hilton
“Gly”: That happened in the early 90’s. 20 feet or more of a collared shaft failed when I was near the bottom of it. Good thing it didn’t fail when I was climbing past it. 💀
Wouldn't be cool to kill a big cat just to make a video.

“Gly”: I’m not going to kill anything. I love animals.
Wow! Please be safe. We have lots of cougars in the backcountry too (as well as bears and packs of wild dogs) and neighbors with high powered rifles, you guys are so courageous! The heavy metals would keep me out (lots of mercury in our well water from runoff) but I love to watch y'all explore. Stay safe Gly, you visit many of my old stomping grounds in your vids....
Nothing worse than when the rest of your body cant keep up with your brain.
When I first read the title I was imagining you were near a nuclear dump sight and encountered a GIANT MOLE😜 What sound did it make? athumpa, athumpa, athumpa! Time for a trail cam and a 44 Magnum.
Make mine a 12-gauge!
Looked like a wolf, yeah that's scary af.
EDIT: no that definitely looks like it might be a mountain lion. Screenshots here.

I boosted the contrast and brightness, what we are looking at there is a collapse of some kind. The animal is probably on the other side, maybe crawling over to investigate his voice.

That is a very bright light you carry.
Every trip it would be nice to see you and your complete outfit as you are ready to go.
There were prints on floor. Kinda looked like a bear
Sherry Hunt bears aren’t in that area😂
Looked like shoe prints to me.
🤣🤣
I used to fly aerobatics and have even gone skydiving, but what you do scares the crap out of me.
I took a snapshot of the video and brightened it on my art program, I didn't see anything and I don't want to see anything. There is no greater terror then to be exploring a seemingly abandoned place then to find out it is not quite abandoned. 0.0
My gut says cougar and I hope I'm wrong as running into one is game over basically. >.>
“Gly”: I did too. I reviewed the footage over and over but saw nothing.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Bi Ped Hominid is my guess (from the prints).
I think i would have done exactly what you did, i did have to laugh when Frank (Was it Frank?) started laughing at all your injuries hehe.
Great vid as per usual, but come on; "chasing" implies something was following you out of the mine. More accurately, you heard something. That may have sounded large. We are glad that you didnt have a face to face with an angry critter!
“Gly”: Well, ok... probably could have used a different word. But technically the sound did chase me out of the mine.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces regardless of what caused your expedient exit, just glad you didnt tangle with a cornered animal!
That was a really cool decline. You facing away from the ladder reminded me of my Dad telling me "Never turn your back on a ladder." I understand why you did that, though. I have a feeling it has been quite a while since anyone has been down that decline and into that winze and those stopes. I never thought you'd hit another haul pass and out.
Whatever was in there, it was pretty far in. You were probably moving it in as you went. As others have said, a trail camera would be cool. Maybe carry one in Old Bob just in case. I loved the cackle from Mr. Magnifico LOL! It was probably Big Foot! HAHAHA!
“Gly”: It meeting up with that big modern haulage adit took me completely by surprise.
I doubt it would be a good idea to fire off a round from a pistol inside there it could cause a cave in. But I would still carry just in case.
“Gly”: I agree.
When he fell, who else physically tensed to help him back up? I did a little but hop!
Also Come to the south side of dugway and check out our silver mines! Here in salt lake and surrounding mountain cities we have lots of little old mines with cables in the mountain sides and lever and pulley operated excavators! Watch out for hidden verts, but please come see our fun little treasures
I saw a documentary about this. The hills have eyes. Creepy stuff. 🤣
"Gly": Lol.. Or Pennywise from Steshen Kings "It"
every time i go and explore a cave i think someones gonna jump out and eat me hills have eyes
The closest I ever came to something like this was as I approached a mine with a bit of water running out of it, there was freshly stirred mud just outside the portal. I got in about 50' and could clearly see fresh mountain lion tracks in the mud that disappeared as I looked at them. It had apparently heard us coming and left just before we got there. And that's why I typically make a lot of noise when I'm in the woods, stomp my feet, tap my walking stick, so I don't "sneak up" on critters. I want them to know I'm coming.
“Gly”: Whew! Yeah, that’s about as close as it gets.
It was an interesting mine, I'm glad I explored it. Late 1800's Chinese drift mine. The back, ribs, and gobbing were so perfect it looked more like a constructed tunnel than a gold mine.
Yea that's not fun... I had a run in with a large mountain lion in an old copper mine in upper peninsula of Michigan about 25 years ago. Hate to be a killjoy but Sasquatch does exist, I seen one myself. Thanks for another cool vid Gly
Uh huh . Sure ya did !!
If a sasquatch existed, someone would have shot one by now. Hunters travel far and wide in search of a kill often shooting each other by mistake. Also, people who live in remote / isolated areas are much more armed and dangerous. Logic says you were simply mistaken or hoaxed.
@@nefariumxxx Word !!
@@nefariumxxx Yea and hundreds of thousands of people who've seen them for thousands of years are all wrong because you say so.. I bet you have no trouble believing "god" exists, yet 0 proof and nobody has ever seen it.
@@reelthing4u They'll never understand that sitting on their couches and criticizing others who have unfortunately had an encounter.
Run - Forest - Run !!! Glad Your Safe... Stay Strong...Stay Safe...Gyl
When you go back to that mine bring your 45 and pepper spray for the just in case, good video sharing on FB page.
If he blows a .45 down that hole he'll wish whatever it was ate him.
How strange is it that you find a newspaper clip from the 40's that reads about battle of Iwo Jima. And the fun fact is that the only pilot who died during the Battle of Iwo Jima from Natoma Bay, James Leininger is still living as a reincarnation in form of James III.
" BIG FOOT " Hiding inside. probably on the move to another location and hiding in mine till dark. that's when they travel.... Your lucky he didn't get you..
@Athiest Nihilist Yes.
@Athiest Nihilist Thanks. It's certainly less pathetic than being a nihilist atheist.
@Athiest Nihilist I've hiked quite a bit in the Rockies and a little bit in the Cascades.
Most places don't have trails. Most trails get hiked once in a blue moon. Lots of places, off trail visibility is 10-20 feet.
Trivial to avoid being seen. Especially if you've got 12K years of practice.
