    Sometimes you just have to dig to find the good stuff even if that means coming face to face with a couple of skunks. Sliding under tons of rock reveals never before seen artifacts and was well worth the risk.

    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...

    Going back through old videos and catching up, I have to say that this mine looks to be one of the best preserved that I have seen you go into. As said in other comments, given the amount of artifacts at the top of that shaft, I can only imagine what is down at the bottom. Personally I think it would be worth it to get a small group of people together to go in and try to clear and reinforce that passage so that you can finish exploring. The mystery of that shaft would haunt me every day until I was able to get down there.

    I have a fascination of exploring old gold/silver mines, but would only get myself into deep do do. Not to mention I would never have the courage to actually enter an old decrepit mine. After finding and subscribing to your channel I get to experience first hand what I would do in my dream hobby. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your trips. I have so much respect for how much knowledge and experience you have and it really is a pleasure knowing that you have such a nack for exploring really dangerous mines, but at the same time totally in charge. Lastly your production is top notch, from the camera work to your humorous vocalizations makes for an excellent and enjoyable experience. I have mentioned your travels to a few friends and they all said they would like to see what your about. Look forward to your next adventures. Thanks.

There are some other mines in that area, and we know the owner of another mine right down the road that we have been inside as well. I live right up the road from these places.....and I have rocks in my rock cabinet from the waste rock pile outside of this mine. I thought I recognized that collapse in the beginning of your video.

      I really hope you got to explore the area better. There is interesting stuff all over that place. In fact, that area that the mine is in has all kinds of old workings all over the place. Our miner friend stopped by the other day, and told us he's gonna be selling his claims, and we are thinking of buying a few. 😊 And unfortunately, he also told us the man that owned this mine passed about a month or 2 ago. My husband was friends with him. He was a good man with extensive knowledge of the mining industry. He used to get called all over the world to tell people how to set up their operations and where to mine. He was good at what he did. RIP sir. And I would never say the name of this mine....I love this place and we go out here as a family just to relax and I spend hours and hours picking through that waste rock. lol. It is amazing country and I'm glad I get to live in this amazing area. There are lots of goodies hiding all over the area.

      They are open aired to allow miners to easily walk up the haul road - if it all turns to custard..

    Yeah another excellent episode. Hey I'm starting to get worried about all those sketchy ladders you risk climbing on. Sooner or later a rung will give out. Have you though of some fall arrest gear with a retractable line. We use them at work for long accent/decent tower ladders. If you slip it instantly halts your fall. Easy to set up with a little rigging. I know more stuff to haul around but I'm just thinking of your safety. Thanks again for another fun episode.

    I really do hope ya'll can return to this mine, because that vertical shaft with the big bucket at the top just got me so excited! It looked like a really interesting mine shaft that no one has been down into for a long, long time! With that being said though, all the right equipment and safety stuff would be 1000x better to have when you do! Great video, love Mr. M and some of his sayings! haha :)

      “Gly”: Well, I hear what your saying but all that safety takes the fun out of the explore... at least for me it does. We’ll be getting into ropes and rigging here very soon and that will allow me to explore more unseen places but at the end of the day I will always enjoy free climb exploring much more unhindered by all that gear.

    Gly is an old caver. They develop an attitude of, "The harder it gets, the more I like it." He is just thrilled at clearing rocks out and slithering down the hole to get to another mine section. One perhaps no other explorer has been in for a long time.

The numbers on the timbers seem to indicate you were at the 150' level and it goes down to 190' maybe? Ore bucket is super cool. Can't say enough about the great video production.

    There is, I believe a way to use the rails as an antenna for your radios, and possibly any metal ducting. The railroad uses (used) the rails as 1/2 of the radio system, from what I remember.
    VLF radios would likely work in the mines also. That area you crawled thru was a totally , imo, foolish place to go. Yes, very cool stuff, but I also noticed how dry rotted many of the timbers were. The only safe way to get there would be to move the dangerous rock and rebuild the lagging & stalls.

    Your channel is more interesting than most Network programming 👍
    In these Arizona mines Black-widows are common. Keep Benadryl & Tylenol with you for a bite (seek medical attention disclaimer) . Diamondbacks, Mojave greens and sidewinders are pretty common. Mojave greens are fairly obnoxious and have 2 types of venom, steer clear of those. Most critters will leave you alone if you leave them alone, but with rattlers, it’s easy just to stumble across them and they don’t always buzz. We used do have plenty of the three varieties and coral snakes around our house due to having a koi pond (in the middle of the desert), but we knew where to look once we were familiar with the area. Javelina are usually predictable unless they have young, or are cornered- then stay away. 🌵 When we used to land at mines with a Hughes 500, Long ranger or A-star. You would usually scare most of the larger critters away... for a bit. I carried a collapsible metal walking stick that was handy for snake issues and wore snake gators if we were doing search & rescue in the boonies. 🐍 Never had issues with mountain lions. We used to fly darted mountain lions & bears etc, for Az Game & Fish relocation in the 80’s. But then I never ran into one in a mine - no thanks 😳 stay SAFE guys and keep up the great work !
