- This video shows viewers where and how we got Tippy. The mine car we used to get over 3,000 loads of waste rock out of the Yankee Boy mine.
This is a fast paced and exciting Mine Exploration Channel. We have been in hundreds of abandoned mines in Canada, United States and Mexico. Recently we have purchased our own abandoned mine the Yankee Boy Mine! We are rehabilitating the mine so the public can explore an abandoned mine for themselves safely. Join us underground and we will show you things no human has seen for decades! A fast paced, exciting channel that will not bore you. Visit our website exploringabando... for directions to our mine, exciting pictures and merch.
For more information on the history of the Yankee Boy Mine go to minfile.gov.bc...

Mines are being filled in, demolished, and/or collapsing at an alarming rate, so it is crucial to document them and save these artifacts while it is still possible.
This is all about mining and mining exploration. We have produced over 350 videos for you to enjoy. Join us for our adventures as we go deep underground into historic abandoned hard rock Gold, Silver and Copper mines. We relive the Prospecting, Gold Rush days, going back in history with every expedition. Visiting abandoned and forgotten places, climbing down mine shafts into dangerous mines, finding treasures, seeing antique heavy equipment such as ore carts, crushers, milling machines, ball mills, explosives and other mining equipment.
We have a new website site exploringabando... once there you can see how the mine is doing, support the channel and buy merch, we have stickers, hats, hoodies, t shirts and mugs. New items being added.

Nice one Dude, another few years and Tippy would have been lost forever. Now everyone that visits your Museum can see it! ✌❤🙏🍻🇬🇧
Nice job getting the cart out 👍🏻
12:13 Looks like a baby bear.....No, it's just curious Max! So, we got to see Frank 5 finger discount this ore cart! Should have 5 fingered the compressor and it would have made a good winter project to rebuild it.
It would have been a winter project to get it home!
I noticed the compressor has a white plastic oil jug -- people mustive used it in more recent times
Maybe in the 80s
Super cool find the old mine that you guys found with all the different stuff in it 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Frank, you da man, Brother! Getting "Tippy" to your Museum😎😎👍👍💯💯. As always Rock On!!! Sharon, too!!!
Rock on!
Hi Frank and Sharon...nice find.Glad you saved it,it's part of history. Have a great weekend
Thanks, you too!
That was a task Even for Frank the tank😊
So good to see old Max again. RIP mate.
Tippy is still looking good wow.
I forgot how much shit you had to deal with getting that cart . 👍👊🍺
I want to see you go back and save the compressor. Surely you know someone with a helicopter.
👍
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
Great little oar cart, awesome that you saved it. I love how it swivels 360°
🤔 wonder if whoever foot the bill for that cart thought to themselves
☝️ someone’s going to enjoy this cart in a hundred years yrs!!! 😂🤣
But still confused , which is it a rescue or a recovery? I’m going with rescue, a recovery would imply it was dead 😆 ✌️🤙
Thinking back I should have said I snatched it!
Your one tough miner Frank!!!
The reason Tippy was still there is because no one was dumb enough, I mean smart enough, to get her out till Frank came along 😂
That's a sweet cart, really had to work for that one!
It was well hidden!
Frank! I've been visiting the Slocan Valley and area since I was in grade 6. 41 years old now. Your explorations of the mines in the area are so cool to see. We were canoeing/fishing down Slocan Lake years ago and stumbled across a mine that was directly accessible from the lake shore. Everything was left behind including cases of TNT right near the main entrance which is why we didn't enter the mine. Was just wondering if you knew anything about this particular mine?
No I have not heard of it.
@@exploringabandonedmines I spent summers in Rosebery growing up right near Wilson Creek. Explored the area hunting for trout but often stumbled across old workings in the process. Never entered but tried to make mental notes of the locations. Seems as though you have stepped back from the exploration somewhat but just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos!!
Tippy sure has come in handy at the Yankee Boy, eh, Frank?
I hope you and Sharon are doing great!
When I got the car all those years ago I never dreamed how handy it would be in the future!
@@exploringabandonedmines I remember how she looked after you reworked her.
I know where there's another old compressor and and old dozer in the west kootenays -- -- and a very old large german Deutz engine - very hidden
Hey Frank. At 12:20 I thought that was a bear at the portal looking at you. Lol!
Frank and his travels, love his videos.
Good recovery, Frank , huge effort 👍.
Is the ore cart you and Sharon use in you mine ?
Pete Australia 🇦🇺
Yes it is!
Tippy are in god hands now 🍻
Awesome Tippy demonstration -- cheers from Scott from Salmo
Thank you! Cheers!
The name of the air compressor, Jaeger, is probably pronounced Yah-gerr. At least, that is how I have heard it pronounced.
TIPPY is welded so it is 1920s or later. This style was made by riveting the parts of the box and frame together. The wheel treads are very wide with respect to rail car wheels to be able to negotiate a very loose 18-inch gauge track and still stay on the track. The wheels are not mounted solidly to the axles so they can turn individually to negotiate the very sharp curves and kinks in the track of a mine. The ore box was sized to be about 1 ton of ore or stone when full. Two 7-yr-olds moved a loaded car similar to this one in a tourist mine. You are correct that these cars or carts were equivalent to a wheelbarrow.
The mines have a grade of around 1 and a half percent so loaded cars will almost roll out of the mine by themselves.
