Finding Something Unexpected in an Abandoned Copper Mine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 ноя 2016
- What an unexpected discovery! Paul and I never imagined finding what we found deep in this abandoned copper mine in Arizona. The Warren-Bisbee Mine's obscure entrance was basically a rabbit hole and didn't look too promising. However, once we gained entry by sliding in on our backs, the tunnels opened up and were surprisingly extensive. One tunnel led us deep into the mine to an inner area where we found -- something. Something impressive. Something rare that I've only seen a few times in abandoned mines over the last seven years or so. And it's all here in this video. Enjoy!
Don't forget: New videos are released at midnight (Pacific Time) on the 1st, 10th, and 20th of each month.
View and use the information in my videos at your own risk. All abandoned mines (especially the ones in my videos) are very dangerous and should not be entered under any circumstances. No potentially life-threatening, dangerous, or legal decisions and assumptions should be made based on information in my videos.

"Paul's up ahead, I can see his footprints here."
°Paul walks up behind you° "See anything interesting up there?"
Oh god
That's not what happened though
Jacob Peters he was joking, silly! :)
Nilla My bad, it really went over my head lol...
What time
I don't really understand why people dislike, this is a really awesome discovery, I mean, think all the years of work that might've took, and the history that all of it enclosures, surely cool.
bruh
Milanesa-chan! Your so right
Milanesa-chan! I agree
Milanesa-chan! I was legit thinking the same thing
Is because there are so many mean teenagers in the internet
A portable gas detector is probably a good idea to carry. If anything it will let you know the oxygen level.
Right you are Adam! I was looking to see if anyone had posted a confined space warning. Confined spaces and different gases are a recipe to die in less than a minute! 😵😵🥴🥴☠️☠️
Confined spaces are so, so, very dangerous...
He’s got meters, if you watch his other videos they go off every once and a while
These guys are professional. They carry gas monitors
I want them to do it the old way and use a canary😂
I wonder if he still is using the TN12 flash light, if so I know why he ain't scared of demons, Lol...
Watch his other video brother
Lmao it got recommend to you guys too
@@smoovezudemmove9407 what video?
edit: nvm
How about a 24 hr challenge in the deepest part
@@chadchristianeriksen8359 I think he will take the challenge, but there's a health concern due to a low oxygen inside of that cave.
It's weird to think men may have spent years, maybe decades in that mine, and never got to see it as well as you are able to with those bright modern lights.
Cool video,
Thanks
C Smith That's so true, I never thought of that
C Smith don't hate for this but, able to*
Connor Clarke
I don't understand what you're saying?
You have a typo. Not "able too", it's supposed to be "able to". That's what he was pointing out.
OK, I'll fix it.
I don't mind being corrected.
Why are you playing in peaceful mode?
Underline Designs it would be shame if he losses his stuff and Exp.
Underline Designs XD yah why not
I really hope your not being serious
lmao
Pussy
11:30. Don’t throw a rock down the hole! That’s how you wake the balrog!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
“Fool of a Took!”
@Der Sachse arrow...knee...committed crimes...
“You never should have come here” *skyrim battle music*
I always say back.... no..no..no YOU shouldn't have come here
Remove the word "you"
As long as I don't hear kill the vampire I think I'll be ok
Underrated comment lmao
When I was 16 or so, a group of my buddies and I went into the abandoned silver mine area around Calico in SoCal. There are hundreds of them, all closed off because of danger from earthquake-caused collapses. We found one that an earthquake had actually opened up, which was just a hole in the sand with walls of sand ready to fall down at the next quake. Being young and stupid, we nevertheless went down into the opening. You would have loved what we found, probably because saner people would never have gone in there: dynamite sticks, shovels, wheelbarrows, carts, even a pair of Levi jeans dating back to about the 1890s or so. Best find was a corn cob pipe stuck up in the timbers overhead. We took out a few treasures and then thanked God we made it out safely. Had there been even a small earthquake while we were down in there, our bones would still be buried.
Be careful guys if you do explore - www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.theharlemvalleynews.net/%3fp=1481&
Those Levi’s jeans are probably worth like 100,000 dollars. Some of the first pairs of Levi’s jeans are collected by Levi’s themselves!
WHAT???! Yo thats crazy! Do you still have the stuff?
That is a great story! Thanks for sharing it. Yes, that would’ve been quite an adventure to find artifacts like that stored down inside a mine. Back in 2016, we were entering an abandoned talc mine that had a lot of timbering in the tunnel. I looked up overhead and saw a small glass bottle tucked up behind some of the timbers in the ceiling. It was a small bottle of antiseptic of which I can’t remember the brand name right now. Whatever it was, that brand is no longer made. The bottle still had a little bit of antiseptic left in it, too. Nothing earth-shattering, mind you, but still a cool find nonetheless. The video that shows this find is here if you want to take a look: Yikes!

My uncle and I used to camp at the mouth of old gold and silver mines in Colorado many years ago. We used yo climb around and dig around and stuff. We never found anything other than tools and utensils and stuff. Plenty of creepy feelings though.
It takes a certain level of bravery to spelunk these mines, a level i certainly lack. I consider myself fortunate to be able to experience these places on video. Thank you all for making this possible.
Thanks, Edward, for the comment! I appreciate it. Glad you’re getting something out of the videos. Thanks for your support.
@@AbandonedMines11 u r cameraman no need to worry camera man r strong as hell to rule the world
I understand people can very scared of old mines but I have problem keep of some of them and have been told it's not safe. I have always been on my own in them and have no partner to help me. Anybody in southern New México who can help me? I am only watching this because I can't go right now!
2:09 House keeping
Troels . Nilsson 🤣😂😂
Lmaoooo
House keeping ? Knock knock knock HOUSE KEEEPPPIIINNNNGGGGG 😝🤗 JK
I kept looking for the horseshoes you were mentioning. Finally dawned on me you were saying ore chute. Not horseshoe.
wat
Me too...
@@rodriguez3939 Were you looking for them too? Too funny.
Ahh shit thats what he meant 😂
Yes, it really sounded like horseshoe to me, but when he says the 't' I can hear the oreshoot.
Last time I looked down an abandoned mine I was arrested by the sheriff and taken to county jail. Id have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for them pesky kids and their darned dog !
Stephen Doggart those damn meddling kids!!! They foiled my attempt to run some old people off their ranch by my pretending to be a ghost!
Stephen Doggart I would have gotten away with it too, it it wurnt for those meddleing kids!
Stephen Doggart :p
Stephen Doggart It's not illegal is it?
nice spice add some sodium hydroxide
when I went to an abandoned copper mine I found a full set of enchanted ebony armor
helm: frost resistance 50%
armor: +100 magica
gauntlets: Smithing is 100% better
boots: 50% fire resistance
plus it also came with a enchanted ebony shield and ebony sword
Shield: 100% shock resistant
Sword: 150 Frost damage
pretty much a amazing find for a dragon born like me
Andrew Orellana What game is this in reference to? Runescape?
Braden Allan Network no Skyrim
Did you ACTUALLY find that though? That's a good find.
No diamonds? What a ripoff
Andrew Orellana Thats alot of enchantments!
Watched the whole thing and didn't see one creeper. So lucky...
I went into some caves near home when I was a kid. Then about two weeks later or so, Idaho had an Earthquake which I felt a rather good jostling from. With my previous excitement regarding the experience with a cave still processing in my mind. I mean, I knew about caves, but didn't know one was so close. Friends and I explored it fairly deeply before we started getting that claustrophobic feel. I thought every worry had crossed our minds. Everything that might go wrong from us getting lost to what people would think when they didn't find us. (7th grade worries)
When i felt that earth moving around and ran outside, I didn't expect the ground to move like water. The experience those few weeks before still strong in my mind, my life changed. Now I don't like closed spaces.
That is a great anecdote! Thanks for sharing it with everybody. I haven't been underground when an earthquake hit. Would be an experience, I'm sure. Thank you for taking some time to watch this video and write your comment. I appreciate your support and interest!
Brilliant story and I think it hits on something most of us can relate to, at least to some degree. My first experience with claustrophobia was as a kid camping and not being able to find the zipper on a swag I was sleeping in. A storm rolled over in the night and the first thing I knew about it was water dripping in on my head through a leak. Horrible way to wake up and followed by a terror I'd never experienced before. I knew I would eventually find the zip but was amazed at how strong the urge to rip and tare my way out was. It was panic essentially. I remember it affected me enough to make sure there was a nice big opening the next night despite what lurks in the Australian bush being arguably a greater concern. For a long time after that I disliked enclosed spaces. Since then I've been through worse and found the key for me is to realise when I first feel panic coming on and simply not alwoing myself to give in to it. Sure it's uncomfortable and unpleasant but the second I realised I could just take a deep breath and not panic marked the moment that I got over claustrophobia. I've even got myself a new swag with double zips!
t u guys making stories
Ya know what would be really cool to do? Make a little 2-D map that you put in the corner of the video that shows the paths/trails you took with little arrows or circles that showed your location. Maybe add where you found something cool or where debris had blocked the path. Just an Idea, I know i'd like to see it.
Harris O'neiland yeah
Harris O'neiland EVERYONE GET THIS TO THE TOP, NOW!
Harris O'neiland How the hell do you make one of those? That's a great idea, if you can come up with a way to make one I'll feature it when I start posting again in about 2-3weeks when the snow hopefully melts enough so I can get up in our area. Full credits to you of course! Love that idea!
Harris O'neiland that is a dope idea.
Agreed. Actually, they have 3D scanning technology that can map these places in three dimensions which is pretty cool. It's doubtful this mine is of any commercial value even if you hit the mother lode of copper ore. You'd break your backs and maybe your necks getting that material up and out of there safely.
Aww i was kinda expecting a century old Delorean.
back to the future 3 reference you are awesome!!!
ah.. so you were one of the thumbs downers then
RetroSimon I was expecting some sort of animal like a cat
RetroSimon it was kind of anticlimactic
RetroSimon I was expecting like a huge ore of something valuable
I see this is the most viewed video on your channel. But people are failing to realise that this is just as amazing as all the other videos. I know most of them came here to see something paranormal. But this really is an amazing piece of art. It's really great to see this being discovered in such an abandoned and unreachable place of the mine. Kudos to you and your friend Paul!! Without you guys, we would've never witnessed it! ❤️
Couldn't agree more!
ready to crawl through this sketchy part of the mine with us....
me: Hell no, thats why im watching from a safe distance.
Hahahaha.....you should watch a movie called "as above so below" and feel scared in your own house......
That bat was so cute.
Yeah, they are cute animals. I used to have a fear of them (like most people do), but once you understand them and learn about them, you realize that they are not vicious animals intent on biting and attacking. It's their erratic flying patterns that make them so startling.
puppichow animals and all living beings alike are each equally amazing and as we live on and continue to evolve we may learn that all beings are to be loved as for such peace is a dream that all could agree upon. ❤
Qwerty Qwertable you got so emotional lol
Fangadora Wolfen he turned into batman we know this story already
puppichow hell yeah Batman
This is how horror movies start
Mike C The attack of the dwarfs. 😑
qwerty qwerty check out The Descent it's pretty great
I don't think Paul spoke at any point during the video. Is it really Paul or has he been replace / a manifestation of whatever inhabits the mine unseen?
i know this is 2 years ago, but i can't resist to say i agree 100%. ''...and then, suddenly, Paul turn towards me and i realize it is NOT PAUL ANYMORE...'' brrrrrr shiver!!!
Miners are brave men. You guys too. I was so scared for you guys during the veiwing
Miners need a living.
Honestly if this were a TV show, I'd still watch it
Thanks for your comment! Glad you're enjoying the videos. I appreciate your support!
It is a TV show. This is modern TV.
Probably too dangerous
@@LAkadian like I didn’t know that
@@nelbertpaner1154 Wasn't talking to you.
Wow, as a professional Carpenter and woodworker, the woodwork they did underground in that square set beam pocket was really something! Thanks for going down there, you guys are risking a lot to show us these cool things so thanks! 😁
The Shootin' Dutchman what’s special with the woodwork?
The Shootin' Dutchman That was certainly amazing wasn't it. 👍👍😎
Kelly Diggs those timbers are really valuable! You should take them out and sell them.
badlandskid No They shouldn't. The Mine would collapse on top of them if They did because the timbers are holding up the Mine. Unless You were being sarcastic
Possibly that section with the vaulted roof is a 'crib' constructed to offer protection in case there's a mine collapse!
There's rumored to be a big cave under stately Wayne Manor.
Dave R Nah, you don't wanna go down there. I hear it's full of bats.
cody hedges good one
cody hedges True! There's also a big computer and fans of the comic will remember that there's also a giant penny down there. So, just like in this video, there's a lotta copper down there.. lol
Dave R lol
full of bats, man
That's A LOT of copper ore dude HOLY SHIT! dude, go to the city and get a copy of the land plots and SEE if its claimed! You could come out a bit richer, could even smelt it and sell it in bars.
If it had any real value I doubt seriously that it would still be there or that's the last of it. You don't come across mines too often that still have anything left that's going to make anyone any real money.
All claimed belongs to monster sized copper company
Someone probably already owns the mineral rights.
Why would anyone in a bar wanna buy copper??
Ha ha
Miners are so brave to begin with, to dig these mines, work in them, dig farther.. its amazing and for me so scary. my grandfather was a coal miner in Kentucky. I could never do such work, and for you guys going into the mines here for filming..totally scary. I would be so afraid of a collapse.
Little bat sleeping alone looked like a little puppy. Made me want to get him a blanket
I don't understand why people hate bats so much. I find them cute
Richard F. Stripe same
The wild ones are vectors (disease carriers), such as rats, raccoons, etc. Good enough for me to stay away from them :p
TheLeatherChannel me too
batman?
What's really cool is to take a battery powered inertial measurement unit with you when exploring the tunnels. Once the data is processed through a computer you get an amazing 3D map with all the tunnels positioned in space relative to each other. Makes understanding the system and the geology so much easier.
I dont see how you could get very useful graphing with an inertial measurement.Wouldnt it just be a line tracing where you move?
Andrew Wilson Oh yeah! Nothing like the guy above that commented almost the exact same idea!
@@FirstLast-fr4hb It is in 3D, so probably it would be like a tube but projected like the tunnel.
Why don't you just ask Harry Potter to wave his magic wand to map it all out for you. His spells sound just as real as the made up words your using. CAVIEA EXPLORIO...
@@TrumpCardMAGA from what i see none of the words used by any of these people are made up.
I love watching people explore abandoned places. It's even better to see abandoned places in person. It makes you think that years ago people spent their entire day there. They spent the day working hard, eating their lunch, talking to their friends etc. It was full of energy. Now it's just a soulless mine and the people that spent their days there are probably gone forever.
I don't know what I enjoyed the most, the video, or all the comments that are sure that light reflecting off of dust is an orb/spirit.
Oh man, would be too cool if you could get one of those nice blue copper bearing rocks, and give them to Cody's Lab (channel) and have him extract the copper from the ore, any ore really.
Yes please
that would be awsome
they pull rock out, and it just collapses
Pulling the top brick in a game of jenka won't hurt anyone :P noone's suggesting they risk thier lives for anything, but what's probably a better question is the legality of it
I LOVE CODYS LAB
Frank, two things. first i would like to thank you for your understanding of how to hold a camera, how to move from one subject point to another and how you slowly zoom in on something. some people are not dedicated enough to get that right and swing that camera around like its on a string.
next, if you go back stop by shute number 6 and bring a bag of that fine green ore out, give it to someone that can smelt it and see if you can get a copper bar out of it. ill bet you can. im not saying start up a mining operation in someone elses mine but just taking a sample.
great job.

The bat: "I sleep"
A good quality video. Not much shaky-cam... that's good. Often times I cant enjoy these type of videos because they make me nauseous, but yours was very well done! Thanks! I enjoyed it thoroughly.
It's a bandit camp, I find these all the time in Skyrim.
Brian McWhorter lol I was about to say oh shit it's a bandit cave! better summon an atronoch lol
Brian McWhorter Funny was just about to say that.
duh
nah dude, its a vampire cave that leads into a nordic temple XD

@SquirrelyWrath , LOL! Right?
Considering this is simply documenting an adventure into an abandoned mine, it's remarkably intriguing and has me readily waiting for the next find! Great video, keep it up lads.
This is absolutely fascinating. These men were not just jolly thrill-seekers; it seems they are schooled enough to know what they are dealing with, which makes their commentary all the more worthwhile to hear. Worth viewing!
Thanks, Glenn! Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, that vaulted ceiling in that one large room was pretty impressive and extremely rare. I have never seen anything like it in any other abandoned mine. The question remains about what is down that shaft in the center of that room. We hope to get back there someday and descend safely into that lower area and check out what might or might not be there. We will only do that after we ascertain that there’s oxygen down there. That will be confirmed by lowering my oxygen meter on a string down through that hole into that lower area before we descend into it.
I’m sure their busting ass to make a living and that “thrill seeking” wasn’t a real consideration to these miners. For some of these guys this might have been the only job option available, so you go bust your hump or go hungry. Old school mining either made or broke anybody that walked in that hole daily! Some of these guys made the work look A LOT easier than it really was. People today don’t know or forgot on what real hard labor is in most 1st world settings for sure. Swinging an axe down in those corridors must have been a humid beach and you can bet your nuts 🥜 that you would be sweating to the oldies after 30 minutes of picking or hauling ore!! 🥵🥵🥵
Oh shit dude I grew up in Tombstone and saw this copper mine all the time, it was my nightmare fuel growing up :D Its awesome to see what its like inside
Is it just me or does this guy sound like Tom Hanks?
Thank you for this amazing video. I could never do what you guys do...I'm claustrophobic big time, but I love geology and this really feeds my interest in mines without having to go in one. Thank you for your work...keep it up...I'm a subscriber now and I look forward to more of the same adventures!
Your videos are amazing! You take a lot of risks going into these mines, and all we have to do is enjoy the footage and your commentary. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks for your nice comment! Glad you are enjoying the videos! I’m always stoked with somebody chimes in and says they’re getting something out of the videos. Thank you for your support!
This channel is incredible, I've always been the exploring type and never thought watching other people explore would be satisfying but your content proved me wrong. Thanks so much for sharing these journeys.
Nuclear Glad you are enjoying the videos. Thanks for your support here! Much appreciated!
I've been in, and around mining all my life.. have many many old miners in my family as nd when I showed them this
. They say the vaulted part makes no sense and has no place in a copper mine. Square stack yes. Vault. No.. they say you should show this to some of the older miners and find out what it is. You may have found something unique.. not to mention they say you saw 100s of thousands worth of copper ore..
Thanks for your comment! Glad to hear that the people in your family found that vaulted ceiling to be unique. I think it is, too, because I have never seen anything like it in any other mine. Paul and I really did stumble onto something that was really unexpected and certainly unique! I have never seen such a ceiling in anybody else’s videos, pictures, or on their websites. We are still wondering what is down the vertical shaft in that cathedral room. We never made it back there to check that out. Right now, that area is under a lot of snow, so we would have to wait until the spring thaw. We might get back there and check out that lower area - who knows what is down there!
Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places I hope y all video it.. can't wait to see.... And yea.. paps said y'all DEFINETLY found something HES never seen in 51 years mining. And he old as dirt. Lol
When you do go back there, will you also explore the path that was directly to your right after entering through the portal? You mentioned you would, but it's not in this video at least. Looking forward to see what's underneath the cathedral room!
Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places if you go down there, just be safe!
Vincent Hannema We actually did explore that right hand tunnel that was located just inside the entrance to the mine. It kind of went uphill slightly. Paul went up there and said it just came to a dead end after about 30 feet or so. That’s why I didn’t bother going up there myself and filming it. Another thing we have to investigate when we go back is that one ladder that was at the end of a very short tunnel off of the cathedral room. I briefly show it in this video, but neither of us went down there and actually looked up the ladder to see if it was climbable or to see where it went. That would most likely lead to upper levels in the mine that we didn’t even get to. When I do go back there, I’m going to lower my video camera down that vertical shaft in the center of the cathedral room. I plan on attaching two high-intensity flashlights to my camera for illumination. That way, we will be able to see what’s down there and if it’s worth descending into that pit to check it out in person. I can’t even begin to imagine what might be down there!
I absolutely loved this video!!! The courage & risk to go down there & explore! Wow, amazing footage & what a story those walls could tell!!
I grew up in a VERY isolated area of Northern Nevada. .. . many gold and opal mines. . .. I never went to far in one because I was always so scared. It is great to see you ding that!! When I move back I will explore them. Thanks for these videos!! They are very enjoyable!!
Thank you so much for your two comments! I really haven’t spent a lot of time in extreme northern Nevada, but I do know there are a lot of abandoned mines there like you said. For me, that would be a summertime destination because I’m not really into snow and cold. LOL Glad you’re enjoying the videos. Thank you for your support!
Erm I have a bad feeling that you are not going to survive if you do I've always had this 6th sence so it's up to you but everyone I've ever warned has come to a sticky end sooner or later be carefull and if you get a bad feeling get out or don't do it peace out
If you do go. Please at least bring someone or bring some sort of detector that registers when oxygen is very scarce
Make a video on it
The scenery looks like cody's backyard.
Omg it does!

I knew I recognized Bisbee as I went there mining town 5 years ago in AZ. That copper crater is huge. Thanks for the vid as it's interesting to see abandoned history mines and what it was like back then.
I was hoping the white mold wasn’t your “unexpected find” in the title. Was delighted to see the square timber shaft with vaulted ceilings. Very cool! Thanks guys

When I lived in Colorado we used to rock hound everywhere. I've had the fever every since but I have Noone to go with. It's like having a gambling problem, I can't stop. You know your a rock hound when you go anywhere where theirs gravel or rock no matter if it's people's houses or landscape gravel, your always looking down and shuffling the rocks with your feet. It's terrible but wonderful at the same time.
I knew a guy like that -- only on a smaller scale --with coins
I would rock hound ur mine
Too bad I didn't know you! We did this crap all the time. But in all honesty we were dumb! All we ever had were lights free climbing steep shafts up and down. we were young with lots of muscle and longevity like crazy! We got hurt a few times but never anything serious. We were lucky sons of guns!
ever find any chert? none here in SC. send me some or jasmine to make an arrowhead or 3.
My roommate has found all sorts of petrified wood and whatnot. It’s interesting to see what he comes back with.
This was Awesome. I love exploring old places that are long forgotten. I look forward to to seeing up the ladder chutes on the next video. 👍👍😎
I like the fact that he says portal
Kacy Gottgetreu he's bin playing g mod i think
Kacy Gottgetreu nice channel just found it and subbed
Michael Tavares
Kacy Gottgetreu that's what the entry to mines are called
Sci-Fi repurposed the word, and since sci-fi is far more of a part of popular culture than mining, it is easy to understand why so many people are confused or cringing.
Portal is actually just another word for 'main entrance'.
Tom Hanks ought to find a safer hobby
hahaha no chill i cant unhear now im only 5 mins in the video too hahaha
I'm not hearing it.
DatLapiz hahaha yes! thats golden
DatLapiz I could hear it.
Great video ! Love the narration. Fun to see stuff like this and how it holds up over years. When I watch videos exploring old mines and abandoned underground complexes, I always wonder if there are any safety measures for testing the air, air-moister bacteria or recent seismic activity that might make you worry about stability.
Hey, Joe! Thank you for your comments and questions! I do carry an oxygen meter with me at all times. In these dry, desert mines, there really isn’t any moisture which is the main cause of “black-damp” or oxygen deficient air. Hydrogen sulfide gas, however, is another story - but that can usually be detected by its smell. Hydrogen sulfide gas, though, is also pretty rare out here in the desert.
Worked in Uranium mines for years and this is really interesting to me. I've explored old abandoned copper and uranium mines like that. Exciting stuff! Good job!
Right on, Kenny! Thanks for chiming in! I depend on you miners and former miners to correct things that I get wrong in the videos.
Aren't you worried about poison gasses or collapse? Also, did you research this mine to find out when it was constructed? Was it 1800s or 1940s-ish? I would be interesting to know. I hope you're letting people know where you are (at which mine) just in case of collapse. Great video.. very interesting to watch. Good job!
cybersoil100 about my knowledge and how the rocks look it might be 30 to 50 years
Goober if it was older the rocks would not look as steady and sturdy as this
cybersoil100 poison gas, the fuck dude?
grandcalifornia he's right, alot of mines do have deadly gases and chemicals

I too scared to go in caves and tunnels like this so I will experience it through you. I never thought I'd like videos like this but your voice is calming and you are so informative.
I love that cathedral roof yous came upon. It's amazing. I think if I were a person who explored mines I would have been extremely excited because I was pretty happy when you showed it lol. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. I'm ore ttyl much homebound due to health issues even before covid so I really appreciate your videos.
I am a new subscriber 💙
What update of Minecraft is this?
LordMacragge77 1.69.
Melanie Rivas-Banegas he was being sarcastic you dumbass :|
+Faris Nait he knows that. He made a joke by saying 69.
Creeper Universe I'm a girl, lol
Melanie Rivas-Banegas Are you fucking stupid or something?
Man, I got shivers watching you guys navigate parts of this mine. I imagine copper was way more valuable back in those days than today as it was all hand dug material. Plus, very little of the copper went to wire over a century ago but for bronze and brass fixtures. You guys best be mighty careful in some of those shafts. Lots of areas you could experience a cave in.
This gives me some serious anxiety, but I’m also super curious! I wish I was brave enough for exploration like this.
That is pretty amazing. I would never have the balls to go down in there, so thanks for showing us!
It's called an adit, not a tunnel.A tunnel is open at both ends like the ones trains go through. If it enters from the surface it is an adit. If it comes off a vertical shaft it is called a drive. Then if it branches off the drive it is called a cross cut. Hope this helps. Also the green colour is copper but it can be deceptive because copper dissolves in water seepage and washes down into the cracks in the rock. These are the same cracks where the rock later breaks apart therefore what can be a useless piece of mullock will be wrapped in a copper coating making it look much better than what it really is. When you crack it open it is just worthless rock. Next time take a geologists pick with you and break a nice looking green rock open and see what I mean. Copper mines are a good place to start but silver mines are muck more interesting because silver is a chameleon and changes to hide from you and is much more difficult to identify. Good luck.

Hot Rod Lincoln Channel looks more like a caveman
Hot Rod Lincoln Channel It's a pikachu. the left part is the main body and the right part is the tail
Aleph Kasai I see the Pikachu, haha. Not sure I see the caveman though.
Hot Rod Lincoln Channel it a dog
Never watched somthing like this, was very interesting.
Good video l love going through mines to see in side
Such courage! so glad you know what you are doing! I went down in the Bunker Hill mine when it was operational, and even with a guide geologist, elevator and lights, it was intimidating: hot, steamy, creaking sounds of the earth, water shloshing under our boots...an amazing experience.
That was awesome, looking forward to you guys going back there for further exploration. Thanks for the adventure!
That timbering was the best I've ever seen in an old mine!! Skilled work to make that sort of "vaulted" ceiling!! Great find!!
I’m so confused on how anyone can dislike this? What a great video, people are just jealous of your endeavors!!
Thanks for your recent comments, Sarah! The underground cathedral room in this abandoned copper mine was quite an unexpected find. The timbering in there was spectacular and definitely one-of-a-kind.
I think this is absolutely amazing. The vaulted chamber deep underground - incredible! I can only wonder at the amount of sheer muscle work a place like this required to make. Great and fascinating video!
Awesome! Im an explorer myself. Been thru the mother lode mine in alaska.. hands an knees crawl for 500 feet in entrance from ice build up... once inside could drive a vw bus around with ease.... awesome place with many forks and upshafts with wharehouse, tool rooms , and we every found dynamite , badly deteriorated but still neat to handle while smoking.... lol. (Never came within 8 ft of it). Anyhow mine main cavern is a straight shot thru mountain with abandoned facilities on both sides... one side is open to tourism and moderately gated and fenced off.. my gang and i exited with our waders and lights to a group of ederly tourists and they couldnt beleive we just marched 1.5 miles thru hatchers pass mountains to be there at that moment.. truly a great experience! Funny how everything from noises to shadows kinda spooks ya.. no one wants to be the guy in last place when trudging thru so the group ends up kinda speed marching at times.... allways went with at least 4 people which should be a standard practice in the world of unsanctioned, atyourownrisk, splunking.... pretty sure that mine is sealed now cause at the time is was a really exciting and prolific area for those who knew.... anyway great video, great quality, really enjoy your content, espeacially the creepy ones you were able to shoot, No doubt there authentic and the real deal....... brave man you are! Cant wait for more my friend! Good luck and be safe!,,,! Big reward, almost always requires big risk!, Thanx for your efforts
You might head about 5 hours north to Jerome, AZ. I bet you'd find some copper mines there. Cool video.
Mojoman57 Jerome is a nice town.

Really interesting, thank you for making this video. Keep safe!
I Really enjoyed your video . Thank You for sharing your adventure. My late Grandfather was a mining engineer. I never knew him. I toured a few copper mines. Cool experience !
Everything about that mine screamed death by cave in, snake bite, spider bite, and or something that goes bump in the night. I was just waiting for the glowing eyes at the end of the tunnels.
+msgsgt The entrance was the really only sketchy part due to all the erosion and the fact that we had to slide in on our backs feet first. Due to the diminutive nature of the portal, we were not expecting the tunnels to be as extensive as they turned out to be. Thanks for your comment! I enjoyed reading it.
Do you guys bring beer with you? that would have been at least 8 to 12 for me wandering around that long in there have more in the Rhino of course though!
the bat was so cute
+Paul Jr Chervoni They sure are! Took me a couple years before I finally got over my irrational fear of bats that we all seem to have instilled in us as young kids.
You guys are absolute madlads and I cannot stress how much I respect you.
I love watching these videos. I dont know much about mines, but i've already learned so much. Thanks
Can't imagine digging something that expansive by hand and pickaxe
Imagination Conversation have you played minecraft 😀
+Wowthatsfail
no, go away little kid.
Wowthatsfail it's not like minecraft invented the pickaxe or some shit
Wowthatsfail I have, I play it often in my free time, I was going to mention it but it's slightly irrelevant
Mining in real life is way different. In Minecraft you can clear 1 meter of material with a couple swings of the pickaxe. In real life t takes way longer at it's hard work.
great video ..a really good picture into the past..those miners lives must have been very tough
One job I would never ever do, idc if it was $1,000 an hour. There was a show about coal miners a few years ago. Hell no.
Thank you for sharing. That was freaking AWESOME!
Thanks for your comment! Sounds like you really enjoyed the video. Thank you for your feedback.
Just found your videos. Fascinating. Your voice is so calming and your narration is informative and enjoyable to listen and watch. I been watching mine exploration from PA...the set up of the mines from out west are so different.
Hi, Darlene! Thank you for checking out this video and for taking the time to write a comment. Glad you are enjoying the videos. There is a guy back East who was based out of New Jersey who explored abandoned coal mines in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. His RUclips channel was titled “NJ Underground. Unfortunately, he died unexpectedly a few years ago but one of his buddies is keeping his channel up and open. You should check out some of his videos. He did a very good job filming abandoned coal mines back there on the East Coast. You might enjoy them if you haven’t seen them already. Certainly glad to have you along for all the adventures here whether above ground or underground! Thanks again!
I am getting The forest vibes from the mine, god dam it video games what have you done to me.
You should totally make a spooky mine video
Joe Caruso He actually has a video from a couple years ago where he does encounter what seems to be (and is widely featured in many other youtuber's videos as;) one of the very few solid pieces of footage of unexplained phenomenon, while I can't remember the name at the moment it is a very popular video and I'm sure with a little digging you could find it and a few others he has that show similar experiences
BlackCat2 thats the one
The Modern Day Shaman blackcat found it check his reply
The
Sumpter mine.
What an incredible amount of work, effort, and time went into that Mine. Makes me claustrophobic.
What an amazing exploration. Loved the tour and the descriptions of what you found. Thanks! I have read a number of stories of people exploring abandoned mines, one in particular, a silver mine in Nevada. One person went into the mine and when they went searching for him they found he had been asphyxiated from lack of oxygen in the tunnels. It was suggested that people should not explore mines because of this risk. How can you be sure that the tunnels are safe?
Take a canary? Or at least some sensing equipment, I guess. He was not alone, which is a good plan by itself. Likely it would not affect you both in the same way and same time, so the conscious one could probably move the other back out to safety, maybe. Also,, the fact that there were vertical shafts in this mine to the surface probably precludes the low oxygen portion of the problem. Other gases mixed with the oxygen can also be a problem. Good point, though. I also read below where the guys that made this video DO carry oxygen meters, just to put your mind at ease.
He said he could feel air flow so that's always a good sign. Also they have oxygen meters they could take.
Ah the ole Canary method works the best lol@@MrJdsenior
watch more of Franks videos. I believe he has a meter now. sometimes he is alone.
Not safe , not safe at all , bad airs , bad rock over head , old wood , bats ! Many many things can go wrong , or an earth quake , find experienced guides! , Have 3 plans of escape , bring alot of water and food , ,stay safe!
The white mold I believe is called “niter” for those curious
Another term for potassium nitrate.
Something unexpected: what could probably be a Knights Templar's castle. Could it be the work of Henry Sinclair Himself, who was recorded to be in this area in the 1400's? Or maybe the remains of a Viking settlement. Could it be the lost Inca mine of Atahualpa? Stay tuned.

Fascinating information! Thanks for sharing!
Anibal Morales bro in the 1400s Europe didn't even know America exsisted so how could it be a knights templar castle
Great video!! I look forward to seeing more of your videos!! Keep making more!!!
