    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!

    Don't like the obnoxious graffiti, but it would be cool to throw a piece of board in each mine for people to sign with a date. Kind of like a sign in sheet. Imagine running across one another hundred years in the future and seeing all the old explorers leaving their signatures.

      I used to explore the big concrete drainage pipes for water from the streets. I saw quite a bit of graffiti. By the time i got to exploring them, most had locked grates on them. The last one i went in was eventually blocked off by those grates.

They weren't going to find any where they broke in - those mines were active as little as three years ago and are on care and maintenance for restart. The two guys from California and Phoenix were the ones arrested, I believe one is a commercial pilot and the other is an air traffic controller. In hindsight, we should have forwarded the police report to the FAA. I wasn't present for their arrest but heard it was pretty funny since one of their videos was shown to them while they were cuffed on the side of I-10!

    Aerojet General had a large mfg and test facility just to the NE of Sacramento, CA. At one time in the sixties it employed about 10,000 people IIRC, but that diminished as we moved on into the nineties. I was unaware they had a location where you found the fencing and warning sign. Early on one of their specialties was rocket engine development for our space program. You could hear the tests for miles around Sacramento as they fired a prototype attached to a test stand. One of my neighbors worked there and I found in talking that he was an electrical engineer. It turned out he designed circuitry for rockets and yearly went to White Sands for a month or so to play with toys. McDonnell-Douglas also had a facility adjoining Aerojet and one day one of their rocket motors broke free of the test stand, but that is a story for another day.

    I finally got my question answered when you explained the fenced in flats. We can always see the light colored, flat land in the distance as you use your drone in this area. So its a playa from a lake bed that was used, as you say, as a military fly over for old ordinance practice. Thanks for thinking through the way the mill got the water from the spring area, but oh gosh! look at the distance from the water source to the "workings" (mill). Those mine operators were "driven" men. So trying your luck at the adets on the other side of the hill, then bummer, the interior of the adet was all collapsed. At 33:12, I could see the "sparkles" in the right, upper rock. The next adet was interesting what with that lower winze. Perhaps you'll bring rope just so that you can go down on that chain held ladder to see what is all down there. It sure took alot of perserverance by the mine workers to keep following that quartz vein. (lots of hauling out). But thats what hard rock mining cracks up to be....follow the mineral. Thanks for the good narration about what we/you were seeing. Another interesting "explore".

    Started as a dud then went off with a bang! You camera doesn't do the mineralization justice, I could only see glimpses which told me it must have been really beautiful...Being a rockhound this only makes me drool....Great vlog Gly, thanks so much....

    Thanks Gly , great explore I really have enjoyed your channel for quite a while. Your knowledge is amazing,
    I would have loved to have joined you on an explore but im 70 and living in the uk, so thats that. This
    makes your unique presentation so more valuable as we all go with you every weekend avoiding the dust
    and packrats and snakes, and of course the ever present danger.... Thanks Gly ,stay safe and see you
    soon, Cheers

    I hate Placer mines because they are so unstable. So seeing them collapsed like that second level adit does not surprise me in the least, and when you go in I get a real nervous feeling just by seeing you climbing over the collapses. I have ZERO tolerance for People who vandalize these precious historical places! And I hope they meet with their comeuppance for their cowardly and childish behavior, I hope someone turned their living room into a communal urinal!

    Another cool video, Gly -- thanks. This was particularly fun for me because I know exactly where you were. When I was a kid over 40 years ago, I first rode through Garfield Flats in my uncle's pickup on a shortcut from Mina back to Hawthorne, where he still lives and now I do too, having moved my family here 20 years ago.
    I know the spring, so maybe I'll break out my Bounty Hunter and check out that dead cottonwood one of these days.
    Thanks again. Stay safe.

    I watched this episode for the 2nd. time. (it was a good one,)...but they are all entertaining. At the end and while you're still huffing, you say "well this was fun". Its is "FUN" for us to watch your films, but seeing how much excertion that you put into each one, I have to say, you sure are one dedicated feller. Thank you so much for ALL THE FUN.

    36:37 this probably needs some kind of a callout/highlight so people know the truth. It's buried very deep in the video and there's a potential to miss the detail.

    With the heavy stacked stones and threaded rods and the spring water fed by an aqueduct makes me suggest a water wheel or a penstock for a generating unit for electrical power. The stone masonry suggests there had to be some sort of crane or gantry system to build all of that on the scale it is. There had to be some Egyptian stone masons who were looking for work after the pyramids were finished.

    11:38 1 bar is 33 feet of water, so you can only get a syphon effect if the max height is less than 33' above the inlet. But it would still help to reduce the pressure required.

    Fly one would think that there would be written history of that mine and mill area? Yep that's history for ya, no Google!

    I once had a friend who broke into mines and would steal stuff from modern and old eras. He did this for years starting in the 70's and going into the mid 90's. His career ended after he was caught by a very angry mine owner who apparently didn't take his safety seriously enough. This old friend of mine pulled out a 45 and shot the guy dead and then walked over to his car and shot his wife and teenage child who were sitting in a truck nearby. All of them died and my friend fled never to be heard again. The last I heard of him was in 2015 when he sent me a Christmas card out of the blue telling me he was doing fine in Mexico. The letter was sent from Honduras though. So clearly he is covering his tracks still.
    I bet he's stealing things in those areas now.
