Exploring a Ginormous Abandoned Mine
My friend Larry and I descend into the bowels of the earth to explore every level of the War Eagle Mine...right down to the very bottom! Over its years of operation, this mine produced lead, copper, zinc and gold...but is now defunct. And there is a ton of stuff left behind -- from old mine carts to dynamite sticks, drill bits, work gloves and wooden chests. It's easy to spend HOURS exploring the miles of tunnels in this mine -- but if your flashlight dies, you're doomed!!
Speaking of flashlights...here's the link to the amazing Olight I used in the video: goo.gl/5Ci4nz
It's kinda pricey...but it's NO JOKE!

I think this is where I'd draw the line .... I'm not getting in some old falling down mine shaft. I'm quite happy to watch from here. Thanks for the video.
Just a little tidbit of info here. That small, heavy, silver-colored chunk you held is Galena, a mix of Silver and Lead ore. It's too expensive to bother with processing on a small scale, but on a large-scale operation, it's quite profitable. The rusty-looking rocks on the same table are Limonite, which, more often than not, carry fine, but chemically pure Gold. There's still lots of money to be brought out of that mine for someone willing to work for it. :-) :-)
Good prep. You could have been a girl scout. Thanks.
@@conradheinlein5509 You could've been a pro smart a$$😏
interesting
Yeah, because I watched another RUclips video about mining I recognized right away what that chunk of rock was that she was inquiring about. Had I not seen that video, I wouldn’t of known what the heck she was talking about. So that was pretty cool. Plus it only makes sense that you’d run across a bunch of Galena in the Siver State, you know what I mean?
Man I could sit here all night watching and listening to you Wonderhussy,thanks again.
This exploration reminds me of my childhood when I could do such things. I’m disabled now, and my heart says I want to go, but my brain is screaming, no, No, NO, NO, NO. To watch you venturing into this old beautiful mine is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Sarah, your knowledge of mines and terminology is much improved. Kudos for the hard hat and multiple batteries and flashlights. Also it is good that Larry went with you, a buddy system is a must when caving or old mine exploration. There are a couple of mine exploration youtubers that do very well and they are both named Frank - it is popular. There are three things that I would like to mention; one, if you are going to do mines get an oxygen warning device - the air can turn bad without you noticing, two watch out for false floors which are plywood "bridges" over chasms that get covered with dirt - hard to spot, watch out if the ground gets "springy". Three, stick to hard rock mines. I remember you exploring a talc mine - very dangerous, prone to collapse and very dusty with perhaps some asbestos in the air. Hey I learned all of this from Frank at "Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places" which at this time has a comment just below mine - Frank is a 4 real expert. Hiya Frank!
She needs to stay OUT of abandoned mines,Your right cave ins bad air of all kinds!,Buddy system not verty good if both are trapped,And cell phones are virtually worthless. AsI wrote in comment section there is no adventure worth dying for,She is a young Woman with a lot of time ahead of her if she doesn't get KILLED in these stupid mines!.
It’s currently for sale as of last month. $2000 an acre for all 398 acres. Works out to around $796,000 for the whole place. Includes the War Eagle Mine, the Grant Mine, the Columbia Mine, and the Noonday Mine.
Including mineral rights?
@@herbwag6456 Yes the one people forget to ask about😑
Who want’s finance me.
Ross the one legged miner bought it . We will see more of him later in a future set of videos.
Thanks for taking Larry with . Two ( or more ) is ALWAYS a good idea in old mines .
hats off to Larry for being there with you just in case, because that is a tough, spooky area even for a tough Wonderhussy such as yourself. HaHa, I chuckle whenever you say DOOZEY! it reminds me of the old TV show named "HAZEL" .....she used to say that all the time.
Ok got it. Bury body in pet cemetery, hide out in abandoned mine. Love your vids!
Love watching your adventures Sarah... keep going.
Yikers! What a cool adventure! Excellent job Sara!!!😝👍👌🎉
WH, you and Larry are good together!
Way Cool! Did I miss you doing Potosi? (Since you ARE in Vegas)...... Dunno if you can still get in. We were all over the old mines, in the desert around Vegas , Searchlight 'an all, with metal detectors in '69, '70' '71. Found all kinds of booty! Was a great adventure! MANY abandoned mines, with easy access back then. Have fun, be safe.....thanks for sharing.
Another fun Hussy-junket! You're definitely a hoot...Thanks
i love your adventures and how u tell your stories, i love las vegas as a tourest but wouldnt live there; however, your adventures make wanting to go to nevada inviting, way to go girl
Just a thought, Fresh open Air and cool clear water is precious, spelunking and underground exploring is not for we mortals with serious Clausterfobia....however Hussy, glad you enjoy and share.
Nice adventure WH! May have to venture to this location .
Great Trip!!! Well equipped and glad you had company. I would be apprehensive of finding my way out. I have been down 1,400' in a Nickle mine in Northern ON.
That Marauder Flashlight works great. Didn't see the plug/link for it.
Lucky Larry. Beware the Honey Badger. Never even touch old dynamite. If it is sweating it is very unstable............
You just know that old, sweaty dynamite is big time bad news...when Superman ate it, he had a stomach ache for at least 5 minutes. Awww(8-).
thanks little lady love your adventurers
i saw this explore last week on Larry's channel and couldnt wait to see your version of it .thank you Sarah i love your nutty humor
I like the way those two did their own videos, but included each other in places. I can really appreciate well executed collaborations like these two put together.
Well worth the wait
I'd much rather do hard work above ground than hard work under ground. Entertaining video. As always.
9:55 The electrical box is from 1964. So it must have still been in operation in the 1960s. 23:20 The mine cart is from the 1930s, or maybe 40s. C.S. Card Iron Works Co. was operational from 1892 until sometime in the 1940s. The headquarters was at the current location of Denver's Mile High Stadium, where the Broncos play.
excellent video of your mine exploration
Great video of the mine!
Curious Karli I see your name at 27:19. You were there first. :)
Max Zomboni haha yeah there we are!
Awesome video. Thank you
Awesome, love old mine explores. Brings back memories of my dad and I as kid exploring abandon mines as a kid. Thanks for the video.
5 foot three and as incredible as can be!
True that.
Best Ghost Mine video Ever ! I Crapped my pants , thanks Wonderhussy !
*_"THE HUNT FOR WONDERHUSSY'S BADGER"_*
😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
Interesting and entertaining. Thanks
That was soooo cool! I never would of made it past the entrance lol
Wonder, you know how to get around! Another great video. Thank you
I didn't no that you where in to this this makes me very happy be safe
.....Like your smile.....Love your style.....!!
🤪 Wowwee... I wouldn't want to eat any sillypsiben down in the depths of that mine... It would be a awesome freak-out, Ya Think! 😱 🤯
Wonder hussy forgot to mention cardio during the workout lol 😁👍
Good idea to wear a helmet with headlamp Wonderhussy. And the respirator, water, extra flashlights, etc.
Or better yet STAY OUT OF ABANDONED MINES THEY ARE DEATHTRAPS!!!.
Glad you went back and had fun, It was nice meeting you in November ..
Omg looks so scary . I could never do it. Love the vlog ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
very enjoyable! great trip ,both ways glad, you took the time, ..its amazing the air was breathable father down ! some of the timbers were really bad SCARY!!! but no bats ?HMMMMM. THANKS A THOUSAND TIMES!!
LOL, I was trying to remember the name of your channel but couldn't quite come up with it... had to search "exploration hussy" because I knew "hussy" was in there somewhere! Too funny, and luckily it came right up for me. Still the best channel name ever!
That open space with the campfire circle is cool. I'd love to go to that party. Great explore.
Yes nothing like a nice hot fire to trigger a CAVE IN.
That was fun! Thanks WH!! ❤️😘🦋🌹✨✨🙋♀️🙋♀️
Yaba daba dooooooooooo nice one Sarah 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👁👁💋💋💋💋💋💋💋😍🥰🥰😍🥰😍😛😛
Super video. Too dangerous for my blood with all the tremors that occur in Nevada. Stay safe you adventurous duo.
this is one of your better videos. love when you do videos like this. thanks wonderhardhathussy.
your vids are so great
Hello wonderhussy. This is Ted from Texas. Is a good possibility that the dynamite was no good. I've seen old Dynamite that was just as good as a piece of wood. So I believed you were safe. Also young lady you are definitely going to Aventuras woman. Maybe one day I can share the adventure with you. Good job on the video and thank you keep bringing them on and I'll keep watching.
I wouldn't mind wondering with that hussy.
Now that was fun,, just to imagine the the workout you would get shoring up all that timber,, amazing amount of work.....looks like a good light ,,maybe figure a wrap with para-cord or something so if you dropped it ,,it would not fall into the bowels of the earth,leaving you in the dark...would be a good idea to let authorities know of the dynamite sticks found,,they are usually unstable,, and sooner or later someone will mess with them (once).....but if they detonate would probably close the mine....I tell you, your curiosity has me on the edge of my chair sometimes....
Sarah……………..you get A++ for that effort. Good girl you.
Wow!!! so much room down there! Was it wet at all in places ?? Our old coal mines are always wet and drippy back in eastern Kentucky.
so much energy and mens lives were spent over decades to dig and remove all that earth!
Great Job you 2!! Sarah , you n Larry make a great duo!
Good video, glad to see you wearing shoes. Looks like Larry is a good adventure partner.
that'
s 'nearly' 100 yards down, you did good...
*FUN VIDEO THANKS !!!*
Claustrophobia set in right away for me. Normally I couldn't watch the video, but with you Wonderhussy narrating, I can handle it.
300 feet pretty impressive!
Was that dynamite you found sweating? If it's dry it should be safe. If it's sweaty, carefully get as much room between you and it as you can. Dynamite doesn't sweat water...It sweats nitroglycerin! Before I knew this, I almost blew myself to bits! And NOT in a good way!!!
That was cool! we don't have anything like that to explore here in CT
We don't have anything in CT. period.
Love all of your adventures only these underground episodes give me creeps as i have panic attacks about confined spaces.
Here you are exploring a mine with ear rings on. Hee, hee. You got more guts than me. I did explore a lava tube in eastern Oregon back in the 70’s.
What if Wile E. Coyote switched a few of the arrows?
I heard he did, but that cheap Acme paint wasn't any good and the original stuff bled right through. Coyote shoulda used Kilz
Very cool. Thanks for creating this video.
certainly someone (more than one) has already done this, but you should have a notebook and be making notes: Came to fork - went left, found dead end. ect, ect. Then, when you come back some other time you can follow your notes and go down different directions to see different stuff. And don't forget, up on some of those broken timvers is where you might find the badger
Got a mine with under ground cabin in the San bernardino Mt 's Near our all NEW deep Creek Hot Springs Hot Springs CampGround .Your all ways welcome .
70 % survival items, 30 % Sarah. That’s survival. Yea, Ms Sarah.
Cool adventure. Thanks WH!
That was a good video, Sarah. I really enjoyed it.
Quite surprised you didn't find Harrison Ford riding the rails down there
Reminds me of Indiana Jones Temple of Doom! Too bad you didn't go for a ride in an ore cart.
I’m reading a choose your own adventure “Star Wars”book with my grandson. So far most of his choices have had disastrous endings.
HaHA!(8-). Sounds like he's making the same kind of choices I would.
Yes, it is dark times 9 down there(8-). An old timer once told me that little donkeys were stabled in mines in decades long past. And if any were to be brought up for any reason, they
had to be brought up at night...so they could go through the gradual process of twilight, dawn, sunrise and all. Bringing them up in full daylight was far to rough on their eyes.
Yeah, keep yer self shifted down in the lower gears goin' either way on that grade, Darlin'. Ya don't wanna burn out yer brakes(8-). As for partying down in there...long as ya don't
drive the lizard people nuts...or if ya could get 'em to come party with ya...provide lotsa fruit and veggie drinks for 'em. Thanks to both of you for sharing the tour and for keeping
an eye on each other The smartest thing you could have done was just what ya done did(8-)...both "film" yer own version with co-mingling(8-). Loved both videos (Eminence Frontx5
and Wonderhussy Adventures versions).
Pretty darn awesome!
Interesting that newspaper is 18+ years old and hasn't yellowed one bit. Like the cartoon rendering of the Chevy Corvair in the Nader article.
I still haven't forgiven Ralphy Boy for that foolishness. He should have had his butt kicked.
Journey to the center of the earth!
Lovin' it. Keep 'um coming, . . . .
The rule in a mine, if you come to a fork in the drift, take it, BA DA DA DA
I really enjoyed this video
When you describe certain cabins as wired or plumbed where does the juice come from or more to point go?
Stay safe Sarah, it's all fun and games till you get hurt. We need ya.
Yup, that was a big ol’ chunk of Galena she holding at 29:00. What else would you expect in the ‘Silver State’?
........Two Thumbs Up......
When I was in about 4th grade, we moved to New Mexico for a couple months, and my dad was working in a copper mine, FAR underground... He had the hard hat and all the battery packs... Every day he came home, we were still scared for him...
Ancient wisdom for when you're exploring an abandoned mine: "If the timbers are creaking, don't go a-peekin'." Oh, and 20:56 that looks like galena, which is the ore that lead and silver are found in - usually together.
Haha, never turn to the stupid stuff to get RUclips hits. You doing you is why we're here watching!
Don't know if you figured it out or not (you never said), but the Press-Enterprise is the daily paper out of Riverside, CA. Received a copy every morning as a kid in Corona in the sixties.
You are really cool
SUPER HERO WONDERHUSSY!
that ole mine cart was awesome and yes it did remind me of donkey kong country ( i still play it too and ive finished i dunno how many times)
I have spent 40 hours in that mine. Long before it was ransacked. People suck. It used to have an ore cart you could move until an asshole pushed it down a shaft. People suck.
Nice hat. :o)
Thanks again Sarah Jane
Press Enterprise is the Paper out of Riverside California.
Nice vid wh
I was thinking of Space Balls and the Power of Yogurt. What! you met Yogurt!.
You and that lucky sumbitch Larry make a dyn-o-mite team! Great job.
What a great uranium mine...
Dang your a beast Sara 💪 I would not climb anything
I like Larry. 😁
Another great vid!
