Exploring Remote Hilltop Mines

  • When our day first started, my buddy Owen and I did not expect to come across as many artifacts as we did so high up in these mountains. Like many of the mines in the area, primary mining was copper, lead, zinc and silver as well as molybdenum used during WW2. We put in a good amount of miles and elevation gain getting to the five different mine sites. In my opinion, we saved the best for last and were pleasantly surprised at what we found high up the wash. Enjoy!

    Finding a tromel at that altitude and so remote is amazing especially for back when it operated.
    Normally a tromel is used in Placer mining but the one you showed was clearly a lode mine. Very interesting find.

    Hi Jerith, another awesome explore of an abandoned mine site. There were so many cool things you both found out there, it was great to see that old engine block and the trestle too. That (I think it was) tram station with the 4 wheels still intact was a unique find, I've never seen one like that before.
    An absolutely amazing day's explore and you also put that old ore cart back together too.
    Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

      Hey Sue! Thanks for stopping by, that was the upper tram station with the four sheave wheels. It was pretty hard getting the ore car up the pile but definitely worth the effort.

    I always wonder why these solid looking dynamite boxes are always smashed up? You would think there would be hundreds even thousands of them if you imagine they use 2 or 3 cases a day for 30 years! Where are they all?

    Where do you initially find out about these mines my good fellow?

    • @WesternMineDetective
      @WesternMineDetective  Год назад +1

      I find out by many means, whether it's searching on Google maps, word of mouth, sites like Mindat that even tell you what commodities they were mining, etc etc. Lots of research is involved.
