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...

My favorite thing about your channel, aside from how you always find interesting places, is that you're so smooth with the camera. Other channels just have the camera whipping all over the place, which makes it nearly impossible to watch.
“Gly”: Thanks! Camera discipline is really important I agree. When I’m filming I’m always imagining the audience directly behind me.
couldn't agree more...no sea sickness here!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Yea I was going to comment the same thing and no Vertigo here :-) Peace
He has definitely improved in his camera work since the beginning and the rig that he has made out of PVC pipe really helps out which if I am not mistaken I think his camera rig is the high resolution one.
Best channel on the tube by far - Thank you!!
“Gly”: Thank you!
Absolutely 🍺🍺🍺👍
Well, it was still pretty exciting just going into the old mines even if there wasn’t all that much to see. Going down the rock slide heading down to the old drifts was pretty crazy. How long did it take you to get back up the main road? Me and a friend when we were 13 hiked down a mule trail “skiing” all the way to the floor of the trail. No problem. Getting out took me about 4 hours to get out! I thought I was going to die. I know what you mean about how big a mountain trail and far down it is. Found that out in the San Gabriel mountains up at East fork. Say a flat spot up in the hill side from where we were sluicing. We could see tailing piles and thought oh yeah we could take that road where there’s that cement tunnel that leads to nowhere. Baaahaha! We got up above the the old working were and we were like holy moly! 10 foot cliffs were actually 100 foot cliffs. We drove back around and went back to where we were sluicing never making it to the old workings. Dang Gly, you da man!! Can’t wait till next week! Tom.
love the intro.... great info on the Geology of the ancient calderas that barely started off on the Northern Nevada Border and creating some fantastic Bonanza class ore .....all one needs to do is to core drill the outer edges of the collapsed calderas to check for rich deposits ....next time bring sample bags for those lenses ....they looked good ...sample at the red flags and on the outer lens of red before it turns black ... can't wait for ya to get ropes too ...be safe out there and keep them coming cause me and Slim are a loving them
“Gly”: Thanks Jeff! I just can’t believe how much juicy looking stuff can still be found in these old mines. It’s just incredible.
I KNOW YOU,OUR NAME IS SLIM...LOL..BIG HELLO JEFF..STAY WELL
Thank you for ~not~ scrambling and free climbing to get to that adit. A Gly in one piece is a Gly that can bring us many more mine explore videos.
“Gly”: I’ll be honest with you, I got very frustrated when I wasn’t able to get to my objective. I’m not a person who sets out a goal and doesn’t accomplish it but not sliding on my butt down to that next bench was a good call.
There aren't many people who can get 53,000 people to subscribe to watch them crawl around in a hole... nice job... :)
P*rn stars are some of those who manage this gole ;)
Oh man a third part to the candelabra mine uploaded right as I walked through the door after work?!
Sounds like a perfect time for a glass of brandy and to kick back with some great mine exploration 👍
I've really been enjoying your content since I discovered your channel recently, keep up the good work.
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
Thank you Mr. M. for shielding our eyes. Thank you Gly for taking us on this awesome adventure.
How many of us feel like the 80's wasn't that long ago?...haha
I was born in 1989 and when I was 10 the 1980 was just 20 years ago. I still think of 1980 as being 20 years ago.
Wait. What? The 80s ended?
@@brandonpayne1207 same, but '86
Fucking wild to believe that was almost 35 years ago!
The '80's weren't that long ago . . . until you try to do what you did in the '80's, that is 😥
Yeah...thanks for the reminder
..lol
That was sweet... I could hear the genuine concern in Mr. M's voice when you were looking at that plank. I was certainly feeling the same!
In 1974 my roommate Ken and I drove down to Ajo, Arizona from St. Paul, MN to become copper miners. We stopped at a cafe near the mine and two ladies, on hearing we wanted to become miners, talked us out of it! We left without applying. How life would have been different.
They kinda saved you
So happy for you don't give up .
Interesting story. I live in MN. Thanks for sharing
James, maybe they talked you out of it cause they wanted to keep the good stuff for themselves? lol
@47:00 "remember guys, I do this so you don't have to." Some great footage of a beautiful area. Those old drifts are begging to be explored! Thanks for all your hard work in bringing this to video. I work up a sweat just watching!
“Gly”: I may go back to this site in the future now that I know what equipment I’ll need.
"In my world barbed wire is the Velvet Rope to Adventure" lol... I love this man.
Incredible geology! Thank you for taking time to document it so well. Us geology nerds are grateful!
Thank you so much for this, it is very impressive, it was interesting to see these drifts that the big open cast mine had exposed. It is absolutely fantastic that you take the time to share these things with us, it is very much appreciated.
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
Boy Mr M, you were quick. Full marks for eagled eyed observation 🙂
Seeing the old drift mine from inside the pit mine was cool. I am always amazed at the level of danger people endured to earn a living. Thanks for showing this stuff to us "landlubbers". Your encounter with Wonderhussey was pretty cool too, another explorer IO appreciate where she goes. With much aloha from Hawaii...
Thanks Gly for climbing around in that pit so we don't have to. Another great episode!
I think you bring us plenty of things to see.
Your worth more to your viewers alive.
Be Safe!
Never mind gly that you could not reach your objective in the open pit ,i did think sliding down was a bit unwise just in case you started an avalanche by disturbing the immediate surrounding area below you, and then above you rocks wanting to fill the you created sliding on your butt. Me myself i would have sent a drone to video,or photograph,everything.. because it's a scramble back up. This was a great 4 part video gly glad you had a laugh or two and i dare say you put a load of time in doing the editing in this 4 part video for all your subscribers who do appreciate all you do to bring us exactly what you see on your adventures....
“Gly”: I’m glad you said that about starting a avalanche. That did happen to me back in the 80’s when I started a rock slide scrambling across the same type of material only to have a bunch more come down to fill in the void. I did fly the drone down in there to get a better look at those drifts but even with the drone it still looked doable without rope assist. That’s ok... I enjoyed the challenge.
All beautiful colors. Some are dangerous. Wow
Sliding down that reminded me of hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon in February of 1977 while in High School. At Granite Rapids there were several 200' tall plus sand drifts against the Canyon walls we would climb up then bound down and slide down what a gas. One was about 500 feet tall. We would leap out as far as we could land in an explosion of sand then bound out and down all in one fluid action. It was snowing on the rim and near 100 at the river. Best trip I ever took!!!!
Don't have any regrets you are doing a great job and I am grateful to you. A fascinating episode many thanks.
great geology and you are the King of adventure going down that slide. WOW
Wow! Spectacular mineralization in some areas. Good safety pointers for open pit mines! Thanks to Randy and Mr. M too. Hope Mr. M's knees are OK! Great adventure Gly, super appreciated. Thank you.
Really appreciate you explaining mining terms and the rocks around you.
Core drilling has not completely replaced exploration drifts. The mining district I'm involved with has some areas where gold and silver values are found in pyrrhotite nodules. One nodule that we assayed came back around $50,000/ton, but it was only a few inches wide and hosted in barren quartz. Core drilling will either miss the nodule and show no/trace values, or hit the nodule and hugely exaggerate grades. I've taken on-vein samples a few feet away from each other where one sample ran maybe $200 and the other ran $800. An exploration drift gives a much more complete picture in a variable deposit.
“Gly”: You are very correct and I’ve had this same conversation with many people regarding core drilling vs drift exploration. A core drill only needs to miss an area by inches of what could potentially be some very high grade ore.
Absolutely awesome viewing I watch your episods every evening because there captivating thank you for the time you make.to make us all happy educated ppl👍
Excellent as always, Gly! Always look forward to Saturdays and your adventures! 👍👍
You need to have "Frank the Tank" revisit these with you, especially that winse with the sketchy ladder.
“Gly”: Oh, I have far better places than that lined up for Frank. That little winze is mouse farts compared to some of the holes I plan on dropping his butt into. If it wasn’t for Covid that’s what we’d be doing right now.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Another great explore! Thanks for sharing!
Another awesome adventure. Thanks best RUclips channel ever
“Gly”: Thank you!
Hi Gly, I really don't blame you at all for not going to the bottom, that was treacherous to say the least. I hope Mr M is okay, send him my love. Thank you for taking us along and for pointing out the various geology, the colours were spectacular in some parts. Please stay safe, much love. xx🤘💖
“Gly”: Thanks Sue! I will tell him. Have a wonderful day! 😊
LIKE THE HANGMAN SAID " GET A ROPE!!" GREAT VIDEO !
Your episodes of the Candelabra District were outstanding. Also, you still have a big bucket list in this area for when you get your ropes. Having a drone I would have liked fly by shots of the exposed addits in the pit. In addition, you have vastly improved the technical aspects of recording episodes. Do you have nightmares of ghost footsteps from episode 50??? It's out there and hunting you!!! A-HaHaHa
“Gly”: Thanks! Well, it was good that I went down in there because now I know exactly what I’ll need in the way of gear when eventually I do go back. All I can say about ghosts is when one eventually does walk up and says hello I might start to believe. Until then... well....
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Ya that big saber-tooth tiger is huntin' you
Epic intro music! Always look forward to your videos. The limonite and geology in this video is incredible, love to see it! When you showed the open pit from above, I was thinking "how the hell is he going to get into those adits, they have to be about 15' off the ground". Also that open pit with the loose rock slides are a huge pain in the ass to try climbing back up, you guys are beasts.
Have you thought about having a membership? Help you get a side by side and some rappelling gear. I know I would join up.
Tell Mr. M and Randy Thank you for accompanying you on your adventures. Stay safe out there guys.
“Gly”: Thank you! To be very truthful I have rope experience but I’ve made a decision not to bring ropes into play until the channel has closer to 100K subscribers. Some of the places I want to rope into are just awesome and I want to have a wider audience before taking those risks. In the meantime there’s still allot of very nice Class 3’s to document with the occasional Class 4.
THANK YOU BRO,,BE SAFE..EXCELLENT!
Awesome video thank you so much the3 of you great job
“Barbed wire is the velvet rope to adventure.” Haha! Love it!
Stay safe! Glad you decided against climbing up that rock face.
Great video gly. That open pit was huge. It was neat seeing the old shaft on the side like that. Really appreciate the stuff you go threw to show everyone. Thank you. Now have a beer. Lol. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Awesome as always, Thanks!
So good and brilliant 👏. Every video getting brilliant. Love watching how everything gos so long in to the Mine. Really hop get back down there get back in there . Is there not way in there from top way to get down . Loving all video so good. Looking forward next Saturday one . Be safe out there . p everyone well . To mr m and Mr m 2 . Lol .
Exciting introduction for this video. 🤩
I love this show. I have a glossary of Mining terms up on a tab next to my RUclips tab so I can look up the term. I am learning so much about mining!
Thanks Gly for another great adventure! 👍
the view behind you on your sign off scene was super cool.
Incredible colors! Wonder just what the old-timers were pulling out if that's the stuff they left in. More great camera work, too.
Wowzers, that opening shot was amazing. God I love Geology etc
Ya brother, we drew Kilroy all over planet when I served. "Kilroy Was Here. 😆
Thanks for the work you put into this video.
Nice strap rail they have there in that second mine, and the colors is awesome!!!
Hahaha going down is always easier than coming back up lol we ain't exactly Spring Chickens anymore either, are we?! 🤣👍
“Gly”: No.. we.. are.. not.. These days there’s allot more huffing and puffing.
Gave you a thumbs up just for the hard work involved.
I don't know if I need to be jealous because you do it for us 😉
But certainly a good way to get the landslide started 😌
Gly, thanks for "going over the edge" and down ..........👍 Be safe!
1958 - Kilroy was here !! 2nd Adit - caved. Lucky third time - nice mineralization if you don't fall down the winze - limonite, galena and oh, my !! Great closeup of the silver vein - beautiful stuff, more limonite (I can smell the sulfur from Oregon) if you are looking for some gold, and more silver !!! I'd file a claim in a heartbeat !! Finding bottles and cans left by the tourists is a pain !!!!
You hauled it in - you haul it back out you lazy butts !!! That's a huuuge PIT !!! I think I might be somewhat challenged by it. Frank says, "it's not too terrible steep." I'd use a rope to get past the hard parts with knots every two feet or so. Thanks again for a great job and a great look at the minerology there !! I really appreciated the closeups and the terrific video work !!!
“Gly”: Thanks Loyal!
Gly - You gotta' start taking a UV flashlight into these mines! I bet that ore deposit at 14:40 would light up like a Christmas tree under UV light! Did you take any samples out with you? That limonite in the back of the mine at 16:40, and at 18:00 sure looks purty!
Brilliant stuff. Great exploring. Love your work. Best wishes, Paul in Lower Boddington UK
another great one
Big thumbs up! This has definitely replaced Sunday evening TV for me. Thank Gly, Randy and Mr. M!
as a boy scout in sydney australia , our motto was allways be prepared buddy . love ya vidios great adventors .
roll-on rope time, nice explore guys
Another awesome presentation!! At 27:36 when you jumped down from the windlass platform, I hope that was not a stick of dynamite by your right foot?????? thanks for taking us into the pit there were more tunnels than expected!! See what awesomeness you bring us next week!! Be safe and again Saturday morning coffee is made better by your show!!
“Gly”: I’m fairly certain that was what was left of a dynamite tamping stick. I’m happy your enjoying the channel!
Fantastic Video. The metal on the wood was called strapping.
Good report on pit mining!
Better to stay safe! Thanks gly
Always a good show Gly
Watching you descend into that open pit, I was thinking "I sure hope he's brought extra water, the climb out is gonna be a b!tch!". I'm so not surprised you couldn't get to that drift, distances can be deceiving across a wide open space like that.
“Gly”: it took nearly two hours to climb back out.
10:58 Gly: *pans down to show rails* Me: Oh, look! It's roller coaster track! XD
WOW!!! That was fantastic. The whole series of the last month has been great.Can't tell you how much I appreciate these videos. I'm in my 70s and handicapped so it would be impossible for me otherwise. So much beauty I would never see, and glad you had fun doing it. Thank you!
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
I haul out of sand & gravel pits every day with my truck. Here in Arizona. Great vid. Very interesting🌵
This defiantly goes on the ''Return to'' list. I didn't want it to end. Thanks Gly
Nice ep 69
This is my back yard. Thanks for showing us around. I need to get over there myself.
Hey thanks for your videos, love the knowledge you put into your slower paced explorations! And great video quality! This is the first episode I too wish you had ropes!!
I am so glad I found this channel! Keep up the good work Gly, I am very jelous that I cant be there in real life. Regards Andrew from Sweden
Man this is SO cool! I wish I could join you for a week!
After I started watching your channel, my ability to describe dungeons and caves for the D&D games I run has greatly improved.
I thoroughly appreciate your attention to details I would otherwise miss when looking at cave walls. Plus, all the various dangers that you point out have come handy when making the caves more dangerous for the players to explore. Already had 1 of the player characters fall victim to an unmarked winze, and another to trusting a plank of doom.
Amazing and what a shocking surprise drop, with so little to stop you falling in guys , close shave 😳
Plank of doom lol I love it .
Another awesome video guys and like Jeff says bring them sample bags and fill em up . Stay safe out their and maybe you and Jeff can do a video together exploring a old gold mine, that would be so cool. Sharing on my FB .
Still a wicked good video 😊
Thanks nice explores
Hi there, Nice video again. Hope you get to come back and explore more next time with some ropes and anchor spikes.
Top episode champ
Wow this is the most beautiful mine I have seen so far.
“Barbed wire is the velvet rope to adventure” , you should put that on a T-shirt
Oooo, "the velvet rope". Very impressive looking mineral on the walls. Colors galore!! I want a sample. Will you be putting some specimens in your store? (Mine#3...I wouldn't want to hear any creaking while you two walked thru that gobbing of boulders area. (open pit....so dangerous, like a quarry. Never know what type of movement could cause a slide. When I toured some quarries with a partner, they allowed us in but cautioned us NOT to climb up any of the tapered walls. That loose material can start moving by disturbing it. So glad that you had to stop when you did, but thanks for the excitment of your "slide". (was like doing it with you from your camera angle). Again, and again, you offer some interesting and well filmed videos. Thank you.
Thank you Gly for the effort you go to to show us these mines, and the huge effort you went to in the open pit. Good news on the rope stuff 👍👍 Pete Australia
20:00 That little extra brace made me so happy. that's the kind of trace we should be leaving. just that little thing to help keep this open for everyone to enjoy. without that kind person's effort, this mine might be closed
Great video !
Glad I found your channel. Your videos are the best. Super expiations of mining operations and especially the geology. We watch you descend, crawl, and explore in eager anticipation of what’s around that next bend. We wish you could mention, while in a mining work area, just how many people you estimate would be in that mine working at one time. Thanks for your expertise and video talent.!!
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
Thank you, Gly, always, stay safe. Great explore!
Just a week late watching this, awesome video again.
That slide you went down looked sketchy . I'm thinking a drone view would have saved you a trip down.
I'll just bet that was real fun going back up ! Stay safe.
Have you ever heard of the Mcckacken mine? It was worked into the 1980’s since the 1880s in Mohave country @ 40 miles due south of Kingman Az in Mohave County.? It’s a huge mine! An entire mountain is Swiss cheese. It’s close to the ghost town of Signal on the big Sandy river as well as Alamo lake. There are dozens of mines in the surrounding hills. I would be happy to help you locate them. It’s close to you and we’ll worth your time!
Ah gly don't apologize gotta be safe. You will figure it out I'm patient. Real curious to see the old workings too. The thermal part of the one mine was awesome so color even on camera. Sure it doesn't do it justice thanks gly I appreciate your hard work and dedication look forward to next week. Now to Frank's adventure thank you..
Nathan Baird
“Gly”: I’m going to talk to Frank about this location. I know he’d have a fun time rappelling down those benches to get to those old drifts.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces yeah I agree would be cool. It was fun seeing you guys work together
nice one mr m
6:18 Mr.M makes me smile
You are correct that looks like a plank of doom to me also.
Thanks for the video.
Beautiful veins of Limonite. As you said, lots of silver left behind in that mine.
Nice 👍
