Welcome back everyone! I'm so excited to get started on the 2022 summer exploring season! Thanks to you and your financial support this summer you'll experience something BRAND NEW! Now that the channel has all the tools to make it happen your going to enjoy what's called "Spatial Film Making".
Spatial Film Making adds video elements that helps you the audience experience my surroundings better and helps capture the look and feel of these old abandoned mines and their locations. For years abandoned mine documentation has utilized what's called FPV or First Person View. My goal is to make the experience for the viewer all encompassing utilizing many different camera elements and HD audio to offer the best possible viewing experience.
I want YOU the viewer to feel like your right there with me. I want YOU to feel the danger, hear the crumbling rock and see all the amazing things abandoned mines have to offer in wonderful 4K UHD, Ultra High Definition.
Without your help none of this would've been possible so I thank you all... TREMENDOUSLY... for your direct financial support, adding tips to the channels tip jar and purchasing channel merchandise via Teespring and Ebay. What you are seeing now is a culmination of what happens when 100% of all channel revenue goes directly back into the channel itself. I'm amazed at what has been accomplished in a little over three years and its YOU that helped make it all possible. THANK YOU!
A&FP MERCHANDISE!

Abandoned & Forgotten Places
Documenting abandoned mines like never before!
Let's take abandoned mine exploring to the next level!
With your support you can help make this the best abandoned mine exploring channel on RUclips!
Shot entirely in 4K! ...so, turn up those video settings!
On this channel we go deep... REALLY DEEP into abandoned mines and tunnels all throughout the western United States. We researched some of the harder to find mines and hiked or 4x4 back into them to explore and reveal their hidden secrets. Many of these remote locations are filled with cool artifacts, antiques and unique geology that will have you guessing as to why the old prospectors worked so hard to find gold, silver, and other minerals.
A&FP moves just a bit slower as compared to other mine exploring channels. Gly discusses why the miners chose these sites and he points out the geology and minerals that got them excited. Veins of quartz filled with gold and silver made many men lose sleep in the 1800’s and early 1900’s and modern prospecting still does to this very day.
DANGERS? Oh yes, there’s allot of dangers associated with old mines. Un-exploded dynamite, blasting caps, bad air, bats, spiders, and snakes all find their home in abandoned mine shafts and tunnels. Oh, and let’s not forget rotting timbers, flooded passages and collapsing rock!
Gly takes abandoned mine exploring seriously with all the proper safety equipment, training, and experience necessary to do this activity as safe as possible but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun along the way. “Gly”, your host and his band of crazy characters “Old Bob” (Gly’s Jeep), “Quackers” (Gly’s duck) and “Bobbie” (Gly’s hula girl) are sure to brighten your day with their comments and silly antics. Heck, they may even give you a chuckle or two.
Just like Saturday morning cartoons before the internet was invented, Abandoned and Forgotten Places uploads each Saturday at 7:00AM PST. (that’s 10:00AM for you eastern folks) so don’t forget to click that subscribe button and bell icon to receive notifications of new episodes!
Please LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT! All these things help grow our channel and your financial support helps us find new locations and helps put fuel into “Old Bobs” tank. Old Bob, thanks you!
Ok, now for the ugly stuff...

Good to see you're back at it again, sorry to hear about Randy and Scott not being with you anymore. The three of you made a good team and each brought to the table something as unique as the mines you're exploring. That said, even though you didn't go underground those were some pretty amazing historical sites and that drill rig was an awesome find. All the best Gly thanks for another episode.
I'm so so glad to see you back. I was just sitting yesterday while thinking about you and how i love your episodes. Good to see you back. Thanks for the new episode. Enjoying the content all the way from Botswana.
The parts catalogs for the Caterpillar D13000 are based on the a range of power units numbers, and the 1940 parts catalog is for units with number 1N1 and up, so it's a 1938-1940 model (the D13000 was introduced in 1938).
It's a little sad to hear that the three of you are going your separate ways but I'm sure you have your good reasons for that decision and best wishes to you all, like was said before you all brought something to the party when together. It was a pity that you couldn't get into this mine but I found your exploration of the external artefacts fascinating so keep documenting those too. As a UK viewer we only ever saw old mineral mines from a Hollywood movie perspective and to see the nuts and bolts of some of the hardware makes it all seem real. Keep up the good work and long may you have the drive to keep producing good historical content fur us, as you'll see in the comments, there's a lot of love out here for what you do. Best wishes, Steve, Bridlington, UK
I am absolutely thrilled to see you back always look forward to Saturday's to watch your show you take the time to explain and show and and point out things the other shows I enjoyed also but they moved it way too fast a pace to suit me this reminds me of the time when I first started watching the show it was just you and the mines and whoever is doing the camera work and it was absolutely wonderful I trust your health is well and everything is going good for you may GOD look after you bless you and keep you safe👍👍
“Gly”: Thanks! Yep, all is well.. just need to get acclimated to the new altitude here. Blood pressure is doing great also. 👍
33:06 That is a flat 4 cylinder motor driving a vertical 2 cylinder compressor. 33:24 with video paused you can see the upper case piece edges match the lower case edges. As if this unit was running and went low on oil, seized the compressor pistons and that big heavy flywheel did the rest. Not uncommon on an old unit that uses a lot of oil and is running without someone watching it. Gly: It is good to see you back!
Great to see you back now my Saturdays feel as they should
Really 👍 leaving us hanging .. not even a 1 minute update or teaser 🙄😡 …
Good to see you Gly. Sorry to hear Scott and Randy are no longer around. Guess no mor Snozzolater 5000.
The Cat engine looks identical to the one in my 1952 Cat D8-2U. Do not think it's too much older. The heavy rail appears to be in the 40 to 50 pound range. If you measured either the height or base width and it was 3 7/8 that would make it 40#. At first the drill rig looked like a Keystone but it probably was cobbled together from parts of a steam traction engine.
yeah no kidding what about the Snoz...
Great to have you back. We misses you. Thank you
WHAT, A BREATH-TAKING OPENING-SEQUENCE!! BRAVO 🙌 BRAVO 👏 BRAVO 🙌
Randy and Mr. "M" were good for the channel, will miss them. I thing going exploring with another person or two is good safety practice also...glad you are back.
Honestly. These gates are some of the highest quality ive ever seen. Somebody knew what they were doing. Nice work. 😉
Glad to see you and “ Old Bob “ back out in the wild again!! Bob looking better than ever👍. Keep bringing us videos like this one and stay Safe 🤞. Enjoyed , thanks.
When i was driving down to AZ last year I went through Nevada and I was on a road that cut through the middle of a huge valley. It was a pretty amazing sight, had I not been on a time crunch I would have taken pictures. I appreciate your hard work and your desire to give us your time Gly. Thank you.
Great explore! It's not always about being underground. Loved the old buildings too! And the drone/camera angles....wow! Really awesome!!
Great episode Gly and a shame that the forest service blocked up all the entrances to the mines I do miss Mr M and Randy on this channel and hope that at some point that the three of you get back together for a special episode once in a while. Glad too see Old Bob is fixed and your back on those mine trails 👍
Gly, thank you for your hard work. Of course, it doesn't always work out the way you/we would like, but hey, that's life! Thank you for sharing!
Very sad to see Mr. M and Randy not working with you anymore. That said, you're still the best mine exploration channel on earth. I think the forest service should PAY YOU to document these mines and give you the keys. The value of your documentaries can not be over stated.
Yay! Episode 133! Looking forward to this one! Gly, I am always amazed at how long these mines have sat idle the first one last worked in the 1950’s and it still looks like it shut down last month.
Glad to see you back, bummers you 3 won’t be together anymore but looking forward to a great summer of exploring
Glad you're back Gly. Bummed to hear about Scott, co-host to no host pretty quick. Hope there's no hard feelings. Looking forward to new episodes.
Gly, you are correct when you discuss fantastic vistas in the west. Some great scenery in most of your videos, keep up the good work. Stay safe and lets hope for some further great mine exploring soon.
Saturday the 21st is my birthday when I get back from visiting my mother I hope there's a video. Awesome.
You are so so knowledgeable and so informative with mine history and the minerals we see! Thank you for such a personable and great program! An old Alaska lady that grew up hearing mine tales!
Glad to see you back at it. I forget how cold it is up that high when here in florida about 1 ft. Above sea level it's 88 degrees. Always good to see you out there and look forward every week. Stay safe.
Glad you're doing well, Gly. Thanks for the surface tour!
Good to see you back. Thanks for the video. I was just imagining you on a dirt bike, searching for plausabe mines. You would need some saddle bags and a canopy to keep you out of the 🌞 sun. Maybe Mr M would do it if you baught him a bad looking leather jacket. Thanks again.
My wife, mary is tulsafox loves your channel, the fails are a great find as well.
I missed so many episodes due to health reasons. This wad a great one to return to. Can't wait to go back and watch all the ones I missed.
What???!!! No Mr. & Randy??? Careful out there Mr. Gly. I miss Mr. M. Hope he stays Healthy and Safe. You and Randy as well.
Let there be light wherever you folk's venture.
😃😉👋🤞✌️👌🤙👍☝️👏🙏
Yeah,Gly is back,my weekends are now complete!
I, for one, have a great time following along with you as you explore these mining camps, even if "we" don't get underground every time. Thanks for bringing us along.
Need to use an adhesive square for mounting zip ties to surfaces to the top of your drone to lower in with a fishing pole. You also need a remote control car with a hook on the back to retrieve it with your fishing pole if it gets out of range.
I really enjoyed this video even though there weren't any openings to get in. Just hearing the history and backgrounds of the mine is really interesting. Thanks Gly!
The cable tool drilling rig was amazing.
Thanks!
Thanks Gly, looking forward to seeing your videos as always. A little different this time, but things change all the time. Keep up the great work and information TrickyTrev 👍🇦🇺
Hey Gly! I am catching up on your videos and this one in particular literally struck home! The old compressor that you found at the 30 min 35 sec mark was made by Delco Ramey. Delco had a large plant in Dayton, OH. which was on that plate as well! Talk about getting excited seeing the name of the town that I grew up around and still live near! I grew up in a suburb of Dayton called Kettering, named after Charles Kettering who invented the electric starter for autos among other inventions. I actually took a screen shot of that plate 😁 That was really cool and so glad that you take the time to take pics of those plates for us! Keep up the great work!
As always another adventure out looking for mining history. and did you ever come across some great finds. the shaker was a first that I've seen that far along the process. and the drill rig was just amazing! the type you see in pictures but never up in person! Thanks Gly great to see you out again👍
Look at Old Bob tearin' up Nevada in his new suit, lookin' good.
Hello Gly. I, for one, am really glad to see you back on track. And by that I mean, back to exploring and explaining. The last two "collaboration" videos were what I would call "cluster_____s"! (pardon my language). Jeff Williams may be knowledgeable but damn he's annoying! The videos like when you first started out and today's video are much more enjoyable. You show us the scenery, you show us what you are exploring and you explain what you've found. Fantastic. Thanks and eep up the good work.
“Gly”: I enjoyed hanging out with everyone but it’s not something you can really script so those kinds of things do tend to turn into a whirlwind. Yeah, chasing after Jeff and Frank is like chasing squirrels! Lol. Solo Exploring is where I excel because I can take my time and that ultimately translates into a better product. I’m happy your enjoying it, thanks!
Yes, absolutely agree that the previous two episodes were several steps down in quality. I was really thinking this channel had jumped the shark, but happy to see it's back to its old self.
Gly , shame Forestry didn't ''accidently'' leave one of those Bat Gates unlocked ; that would have made for a full months worth of exploration videos , judging from the size and number of waste piles . --- When you showed us the back-end of the Drill Rig , I knew immediately what it was . The Well on my property in Pahrump was put in using a more modern version of that same type of ''Drill'' Rig which was mounted on the deck of a 35 ft. flat-bed truck . The Well Driller called it a '' Jumping Jack '' Drill Rig , and it doesn't ''drill'' the Well in the ordinary sense of the word , --- it ''Jumps'' the Well . The cutter-head looks like a very thick-walled length of well casing that has sharp cutter teeth on the bottom edge and a flapper valve inside . They install a Starter Collar where the Well is to be punched and then it's filled with Water from a 500 gallon tank trailer which they've hauled on site . After the soil has been softened up by the water , they raise the cutter-head to the top of the tower where it trips a release allowing the hoisting cable to ''free-spool'' and drop the cutter-head into the starter collar where it slams into the soil forcing the mud up through the flapper valve . This process is repeated until the mud starts to come out of the top of the cutter-head . An angled plate with a long steel pin on it is placed over the Well and the cutter-head is lowered onto it , the pin opening the flapper valve and draining the mud out . The cutter-head is raised , the angle plate removed , and the whole process repeated until the Well depth is attained . Then the cutter-head is removed and the Well Casing installed . ---- < Doc > .
Well they sure put a lot of effort in to stopping access to that mine. Great to see you out and about again.
Thank you Gly for a great Saturday morning adventure. I am so glad to know you are okay, was starting to worry about you. Stay Safe and always know that we enjoy your adventures but your helth and welfare are the most important thing.
“Gly”: Yep, BP is back to normal and I’m feeling better than ever. 👍👍
Glad to see you back, missed your adventures. Love your style of "show and tell". You take us places we'll never be able to go on our own. Thank you!
Beautiful day & spot thanks for showing 👍🏼
👍🏻Great to see you are back to work!!! Missed your vids on Saturday mornings.🌵
Welcome back Mr.Carter Aka Coolness of the Desert AKA Incline Master AKA where the heck have you been.
we have been waiting patiently.
Seriously glad to see you back I'm productions go get em 💪.
Good to see you back Gly. Reading the comments below I see that Randy and Scott (MR M?) are no longer with you. This is a shame but your work here is outstanding.
I have just spent 9 weeks in hospital and re-watching your videos has kept me sane. Thanks!
You don't need to do the collaborative videos. We come here to see you!
“Gly”: Well I hope you get to feeling better soon. Yeah, it was a fun chapter working with those guys but that’s how A&FP works. It changes and evolves as time goes by to remain fresh.. and unpredictable. I look forward to taking you to many more interesting places. Take care.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces This is what you have to do to keep the best mining exploration channel on youtube! Well done that man! :O)
Hi 👋gly another amazing video thanks again friend please keep the great videos coming and please stay safe friend from Scotland 😊
I like where you are going with the channel. Your vision to bring the viewer "into the mine" is apparent in these first episodes (I watched them in reverse lol) of summer season '22 as the production values are clearly next level. Also, I like your deliberate cerebral approach as you actually drill down (pun) into each of the mines and study them to understand what the miners were trying to accomplish and what it all entailed. Strong work and thanks for taking us along for the ride!! You ROCK!
“Gly”: Thank you very much! Yes, the train was getting off track but now it’s back on the rails once again and going the right direction. Mine exploring encompasses an experience and I’m doing my best to bring you into that experience and make you feel like your right there with me.
Good to see you, yes it's been awhile!!!☆
It's great to see you back. It's also interesting to see what it's really like when out exploring that some places are accessible and some aren't. Not knowing what you're going to find is part of the adventure.
It is good to see you back! I little sad about Randy and Mr. M, hope to see them again.
I'm late to the party, but it is good to see you back Gly! Nice seeing all that equipment out there, and those vistas. I've said it before, I'll say it again; I'm on the wrong side of the country.
Since I don't see anyone else mentioning it, a (different) Cat D13000 s/n 1n1338SP was built in 1940 for the US Navy (configured as a genset). That same engine is also pegged as being a 1938 buiild powerunit & genset . Since this serial number is close, newer than 1938 =-) probably no later than 1941. If it was military surplus, the big question is when did the military surplus them.
Yeah !!!!! Welcome back missed these videos soooooo much. Hope your well Gly
So glad your back I was getting quite worried.God bless you Gly have fun and be safe
I agree. That cable tool rig should be in a museum. Missed you the past few weeks. Glad you're back.
It's great to see you back Gly👍👍
Finally another awesome video to watch to close out my evening
Good to see you back in the saddle Gly, seems like a long old time. Looking forward to watching your high standard of output once more.
Back in Business! Welcome back again Gly!
If you have an engraved name plate, to make it pop on camera, use black and white shoe polish after running a brush over it. black wipe, then white wipe but only excess. Or you can use a the Navy acid and photo florescent ink, expensive though.
Good morning, i am so happy to see you back my friend.i truly enjoy watching your videos and that you bring us along on your adventures. be safe and stay hydrated. so glad you're back. :-)
“Gly”: I’m happy your enjoying them, thank you. Have a good weekend.
Gly, that damage to the compressor could be from water filling up the crankcase and then freezing but I would need to look much closer to be sure. That starter can easily be rebuilt, you can still get overhaul kits for them and it has its original tag. I would love to rebuild a lot of what's up there and put them in a Museum, I used to do that kind of work for an Air Museum in Shafter, California. Wish I could go with you someday, I don't get around very well because of my knees so I would be a little slow. I can fix just about anything, I'm an FAA aircraft mechanic and I've been turning wrenches for over 50 years, I started before I was born!!! 😉 You have a great plan there Gly and I look forward to your travels no matter what the out come.👍👍👍👍👍♥️🇺🇸
We missed you, Gly! Welcome back :)
Processing, filming, and narration is always top notch on these videos.
Glad you’re back, your drone shots are great.
It is sad that Mr M and Randy or not with you anymore they brought a lot to the show you guys seem to on camera have good charisma and work well together I have to say it has took a little way from your show with them being gone but I did watch your show long before they came along so anyway just my thoughts I wish you much success
Guess they quit
Great to see you back exploring. Sorry you couldn’t find a way in this week but there was lots to see above ground. Kind of worried if the channel cant fund so many explores any more. Here in the UK our gas costs about $8.29 a US gallon.
Hello Gly
Good to the you back on the road again.
The area you explored is very interesting and if it is possible go to the parkservive and try to get a permision to get in the mine .
Your Reputation is very good and the Park get a Dokumentation of the mine for free.
I like the way you filmed your Videos
Looking forward what to come
Alles Gute viel Kraft und Gesundheit
Viele Grüsse
Frank Galetzka
Good to see you back. Thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery as you look for mines to explore. I miss your 2 compadres but understand changes happen. Keep up the good work.
The drilling rig at 35:00 is probably a water well drilling rig using a churn drill bit. "Churn drills are also called percussion drills as they function by lifting and dropping a heavy chisel-like bit which breaks the rock as it falls." My grandfather built one and used it to drill water wells around Briggsdale, Co in the early 1900's.
Good to see you back gly . Thank you
Regarding the corrugated metal building at 28:21 , is it possible that was some kind of shower room for the miners? "Don't waste hot water", galvanized tin interior walls, nails for hanging clothes?, a shelf (for soap?), a drain in the floor at the back right corner, limited windows, pipe coming out of upper right wall. Also could be a kitchen but I think shower.
Very nice. Sometimes it's great to just enjoy the surroundings and relics of old machines used in the processing.
😊👍
Thank you for pronouncing Nevada correctly. Love your stuff! Keep it up brother!
Glad you're back! I really enjoyed wandering around with you. Of course, I love getting into the mines but I also love the history and scenery. Never know what you will find! That drilling rig is proof! Take care Gly.
“Gly”: This one was a good one to break myself in. It takes a week or two to get acclimated to the altitude.
Happy to see you back out there again and it not a problem if we cant get into one. Happy just to see a new video and too see all those amazing views of the area.
The naked beauty of Nevada gives me goosebumps. Spent alot of my childhood exploring with my family just off the ca Stateline. Love it guy!
Not sure on all the #'s on the D13000, but I believe the 44SP at the end denotes it as a 1944 model that was intended as a generator or winch. (Hard to find anything, the N I think is the assembly plant)
PS 21:32 I've got an 88 D250 with a granny gear NP435 and non-synchro first. Old 4 spd truck are the best!!!
Missed you Gly. Glad to see you back at it.
Nice to see you back Gly.
I have been in the Imperial Valley Desert somewhat north of Yuma but still Cali when it was 125 degrees Fahrenheit. That's getting a bit warm. I would guess humidity was 1 or 2% making it survivable at least for a while with a water supply. Raise that humidity a good bit and I think it would be pure death. Stay cool and hydrated brother!
Welcome back Gly........The scenery is just outstanding....Thanks for your video............JB.
What a bummer!! Glad you're back and I love seeing in the old buildings on this channel. Can't wait for the next episode .
Glad to see you back in the field and all is ok with you, we missed you ! Great production on this one and the new drone work is fantastic! You do sure a great job on your explores and walk about with the geology and history with your great soft natured voice, not like a couple ‘squirrels or rabbits’ going 90 mph on the other explore shows. Loved the drill rig find… water only, no core samples from that rig, it ‘drilled’ by pounding /grinding the material inside the casing to a mud solution then bailed out. We found a neat one like that one in the back road of Utah a couple years back. Slightly newer as it had a wooden boom but attached to a steel frame and towed by old 40’s era truck (still attached). Have a great summer, can’t wait till next week!
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
Hi guy, just a note to let you know that RUclips has been unsubscribing people from the site's that they watch. I had to resubscibe to your channel . Love your channel and look forward to every video adventure. Thanks. Be safe and God Bless.
Ahh, welcome back! Living in New England, I really appreciate the views, and the awesome drone footage!
Glad to see your back Gly.
All the bat bars seem like a big welding project in themselves getting the steel up the hill itself then lugging a welder etc ,some seem much older than others .
3:00 for the imtro is all?! 😂 You started skimping, apparently!
Great video as always. Miss the old gang...Randy n Mr. M.
I've been waiting patiently for the Kenny Veech series you were planning on. I could have missed something. Could you update us on that? Thank you.
Really enjoy seeing these camps, and that Caterpillar engine, 8" stroke on that beast, low rpm. As a country we have not been around very long when compared to Europe. What we get to explore with you at most maybe 150 years old, but in that 150 year period is an amazing amount of history, at least in my opinion when you consider the advancement. Babies compared to Europe, but very experienced babies. Thanks Gly and sorry about Randy and Mr. M, hope to see them again. I'm the Daniel that recently emailed you. Looks like a 302 in your F100? One of my favorite engines.
Nice to see you. I was beginning to wonder if you had got stuck somewhere. That old drilling rig is amazing. It should be preserved in a museum. Would it have been steam-powered once?
Nice video.
Its a shame Mr M will not be with you. I really liked your interaction, it made the Channel.
Good luck in the future. Perhaps you will join up again.
Keep watching folks. We appreciate what you do.
Gly, I came across your channel well over a year ago. You helped me thru the “slow Covid” time at work. I truly love this channel and have gone back and watched EVERY episode. During Bobs “rebuild”, I had to find other channels to watch. I am now convinced that THIS channel is far superior to those channels. Your videography is top notch. Your knowledge blows the others away. My claustrophobia would steer me far from the places you go underground. So, THANK YOU for what you do! Greetings from Michigan Gly! On a side note, it does sadden me that the trio has parted ways. However, like you, I welcome a new chapter and new adventure. Stay safe brother!
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
Glad you’re back Gly.
Great to see you back. Know that you were missed. Thank you for another great place.
Gly, maybe explore in a motorcyle/enduro style bike? They're a little easier on fuel and some of them are very off-road capable.
