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...

“Gly”: Good morning. everyone! For those who are interested you can find many great articles and in depth analysis on the geology of Goldfield NV on the internet. Just Google: Goldfield Nevada geology to learn more. Have a great weekend!
Gly, my A&FP shirts and sticker just came in last week! 👍🏼 definitely happy with them!
Absolutely loved this video for the Geology and your most detailed explanations. Please keep sharing your knowledge and experience on this subject. Gives your videos a new twist and a whole new audience.
10/10 just fascinating, thanks heaps.
Shout out to Randy. He's a good guy and friend to you and Mr. M. Glad to see he had a starring role this go round. Enjoyed the Vid. Thanks for taking us along Gly.
Who's Randy? He kinda snuck it when I wasn't looking?
I always tell myself, well I’m watching the video so they made it out.
Same!
Another fun adventure. But is anyone else missing that amazing intro with the great narration and awesome arial footage? It always got me excited for the adventure we were about to watch.
I love Saturday mornings again!! 😁👍
Me too, I look forward to entering deep holes in the Earth. Saturday mornings use to be for cartoons, not for me anymore...
“Ropes, where we’re going, we don’t need ropes” let’s hope that never ends up being your last quote.
Another great episode. I definitely relate to Randy’s analytical nature. I’m the same way, and Im certain I would take forever looking around at everything there is to see.
Looking forward to next weekends video. Stay cool out there 😎 it’s gettin HOT!
This episode was a geology fan’s dream come true. Thank you for giving us more time for the rocks! Also, I like that Randy is talking more on camera. 😁
Gly, very well produced! Your explanations of the area, geology and taking the time to talk about the rock structure was one of the best yet, great job! This makes the adventure so much more interesting to really understand what the old timers were looking for and what the rock structure consists of. Having Randy close by so there is some discussion added much. Would be good to have Randy accompany you and the deeper more challenging explorations and would add interesting video of just how hard you work to get into some of those places.
Gly's channel just puts the other mine exploration channels to shame in many ways. I still enjoy/watch some of those others. But they don't even compare in terms of cinematography and a very good explanation of things IMO. It's just really hard to watch those others now. Abandoned and Forgotten Places has really set the bar. LOVE these videos! Even my retired father and mother-in-law love this channel, and watch it often. Keep up the good work!
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
Randy is pretty mellow and the team needs a skinny guy for those tight spots....Mr. M is cool...little grumpy but provides the humor for the group....Gly is crazy with mine trivia! Good entertainment...
A" geological explore", great! Look at the those neat swirls in the strata and layering lines running thru those sandstone rocks Randy picked up! You did!!??, 22:13. Boy, would I like to walk that country; so many rock specimens to find (and sooo, little time) ha,ha. Good show!
did you get a chance to go see Jon over at the Florence mine ....now that is a fun explore with so much History in tact ....there are so many deep shafts in that area ....can see you dropping down a few of them ....so you know what I am gonna say huh .....
“Gly”: No, not yet Jeff. Mostly because the Florence has already been well documented. I suppose I could put my own unique spin on it but there’s just so much in this area to explore that has never had a camera in it. Your right, I’ll be Schnozzolating another shaft this week that I’m certain no person has been in for decades.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces wow ..... now your talking ...so you know what I am gonna say huh....
@@Askjeffwilliams so c'mon let's go!
Nice geology lesson! Love the high quality video - nice and sharp. Thanks Gly and Randy!
@ 21:55 I'm about 15 years your elder and I also did some CRAZY and also STUPID things back when I was YOUNGER exploring old mines. I am lucky to be alive today..... My grandkids don't believe grandpa was that CRAZY when I tell them the stories of my youth. ☠️⚒️⛏️
I’ve been through the Goldfield area many times and wondered what the mines were like, now I know, thanks.
Enjoyed watching the changes in the rocks as the adits went further into the hill. Especially liked the folds and curves in the first mine. Kind of like a geology museum!
I'd be terrified of a mine whose walls were so soft and crumbly. Gly and Randy, y'all are far braver men than I. 😀👍
Well done gly. Of all the other mine explorers out there yours is by far more informative and much better video. Thanks
Great way to start my weekend,has been for a long time,love the show!
I appreciate your commenting on the geology and sharing your experience. All the best to you and your friends.
17:46 The nice thing about bringing Randy along is that he helps find fresh collapses.
WOW GLY!!! epic job on this episode!!!!! Thank y’all so much for creating a show that takes my mind away from all the chaos that’s happening in the world, you are truly gifted
Thank you for showing us the geology of the mines. I find that the most interesting part of mine exploring. In my next life I hope to come back as a geologist.
What a great video! I love watching you go into these different mines. Thanks for taking us along!
I'd love to explore the Goldfield area. The amount of mines that sprung up there is just astounding! Thanks Guys for a glimpse into how the old timers searched for riches held underground.👍
So, give Mr. M a promotion and he starts taking that vacation time! 😂😁😇
I don't need no geology smarts no how.
He took Mrs M on a vacation
@@mrsm513 it’s about time! I hope it’s fabulous!
Well, this was a relaxing walk.... Next week's preview made me die. I just want to see it now..... A week is too long to wait.
Yeah, realized when we got to the end... I was ready for an easy walk this week. All scary all the time gets to be a bit much. Sometimes you need to relax instead.
Randy: "Your mine(d) is drifting" hahaha.
As a historian, geology is my favorite science....it tells you the deep history of the Earth!
Gly, I heard the Union mine has been opened up.
Plan to go to Cerro Gordo anytime soon?
Edit: not the Union mine but the Omega mine.
He is so full of knowledge I feel I should be paying to watch this stuff. And incredible camera and speaking skills. Great video.
I think I’m more impressed to see Randynator wearing shoes and pants. LOL
Randy your the man!!!!!!!!
Did someone say Brownies 🤤
Haven’t had them in years!
😂👍
Well Howdy Gly, Goldfield mini caldera really reminds me of mount Shasta area in a way.
there used to be a shut down gold mine in my town that you could take tours of, sadly it was closed and sealed before i was born, i would have loved to see it, now your video's let me live out that dream of touring a old mine, so thanks, keep up the good work, but also, stay safe
Gly....I love you...you are a superstar....
You do things that no other ...lets just call him a fool...
Would ever do...
Please don't let the monetizing get to your head...
These people who give you money don't represent you..
You survived a major problem...catastrophic...
Don't ever change....don't lose your passion...
Cause believe me ...you might..
From...
Those of us who know you...and love you...and above and beyond... RESPECT YOU...
Good to see Randy , I guess "Mr. M." is back at the shop putting the finishing touches on the SNOZZLEATOR 5000.....
Cool geology exploration, thanks for taking us along.
Lol, as you was crawing thru the backfill driff, it reminded me of a time we had a camera down a groundhog passage way , looked about the same tight fit.be safe doing that .
That’s some very soft rock.
I love it when you teach geology like in the early videos, this is great :)
The geology is very interesting as were all those drifts …..so many drifts and nothing to mine - that we saw this time anyway. Such a massive amount of work blasting into solid rock searching for ore. Over on Mr M’s channel I was amazed at the depth of the shafts - hundreds of feet blasted straight down presumably looking for something based on an educated guess. Mining seems to be one hell of a gamble.
Good morning from Allys Beach FL 🌴
Thanks for the education to help us understand the area around Goldfield.
Gly -- Fun little explore . @31:18 - You should have taken the Ladder away from the Rabbit and used it to climb out , he certainly didn't need it anymore . Lol . --- < Doc > .
“Gly”: Hahaha! Good point!
Neat explore as always. That geology is fascinating.
I was watching a video about mining in Ghana, and I though of your channel. They were mining for a valuable mineral used in cell phones, and the conditions were such that I think even the mighty Gly would turn back. The material they were digging in wasn't actual rock, but almost like clay.
Wow, thank you for the Geology lesson Gly 👍. A nice easy day under ground.
I will Google Earth this area just out of interest.
Pete Australia
Mr. Gly,
Love the lesson on geology in this episode. Great work. I am fascinated by your channel, and appreciate all the work you, Mr. M, and Randy do. The stratification of the rocks, the colors of the various minerals, etc. make me wish I could get a photo, print, or something to put in my house. I have a small house, so rock collections are not really viable, but pictures are. Keep up the great work, you are by far the best mine exploration channel on RUclips.
“Gly”: Thank you very much, I’m happy your enjoying the channel!
Awesome! You can hear the breeze on the area mic when you first went into the second portal!
Love the new geological edge to your channel.
Fantastic Video !!!! I use to talk to Jim Straight years ago before he passed. He always preached about metal detecting Eluvial placers looking for Epithermal Deposits. Especially on the Walker Trend area. Ive Been metal detecting / prospecting / and meteorite hunting around Goldfield / Tonopah areas for years. So much to cover, so little time.... Thanks for taking us along on your journeys... keep up on the informative geology....
I was just thinking about the nutty putty cave when you said that! 😱😵😳🤔 PTSD? Definitely started getting anxious 😬👍🏻
Stay safe. Always here for you. Saturday
I’m glad your back to basics awesome video great job can’t wait for what is up next week from your Canadian family stay safe
Nice thing about Randy, he touches the sides with every step. 😆
Hey Gly, have you ever thought about taking something into a mine for other people to find in the future, for instance you could take a rock from one mine and then place in another mine that doesn't have that type of rock in it just to confuse the heck out of people.😄💯👍
Gly, since you're doing so much exploring in the Goldfield area, how about investigating the report of a shaft in the basement of the Goldfield Hotel. If true, and if you could get permission to explore it, if might be well worth the experience. I doubt any other 'spelunkers' have entered it.
“Gly”: When parts of the hotel were being renovated they filled in that shaft and covered it with concrete. It wasn’t a very large shaft, mostly just exploratory. Rumor and urban legend has made it out to be much more of a thing than it actually was.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Well, darn... I was going to go inside with you on that one. You could take your mine exploring stuff and I'd take my paranormal investigating stuff. I'm sure you've heard the stories of the Goldfield Hotel - and the legend of George Wingfield.
Amazing amount of work, unreal!!
Good morning! Let’s do this!!!! Great way to kick off the weekend!!!
A fun adventure! keep up the great work.
awesome channel,thanks for uploading this content,really interesting,love your mine exploration with mr m,a fan from the uk stay safe thanks gly
According to Geologist Goldfield still has lots of Gold. Also a new price of Tellurium is several times price per oz. Au.
goldfield is where i want to retire. i fell in love with it in my younger wandering years
Better buy now. It’s getting bought up
Another great video. You might add a small hand held metal detector and scan the soft seams along the way that gold would have traveled. Wish I could do that again, I used to rock climb more than explore holes in the ground, explored caves in Okinawa back in my younger days but the locals frowned on it because there were still dead in them, fortunately I never seen one there. A couple of buddy's and I did find a MIA Marine right on our base, Camp Hansen, we were walking across a wide open field when one kicked at a piece of rusty metal, it turned out to be a completely shattered 45 pistol, I still have the rusty barrel, as we explored further my other friend found a dog tag, I didn't think it was because it was round and not like the WW2 tags I had seen. I did not know that during WW2 that Marine's had different tags than the Army. Well long story short it did belong to a missing Marine and his remains were right there, they were retured to his family, it was a little unnerving. 👍❤🇺🇸
I took a chance and watched one of your videos. I really enjoyed it, plus I learned how to 'date' old cans....... I'm hooked!! Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos. I could never do this, but love going into these life threatening mines on the safe side of the screen, lol. I've got alot of videos to catch up on 😊
Does the gopher have to be angry, maybe he was just excited?.?.? 🤣
Yea! A&FP is on. Love Saturday mornings! Hey, Gly, around 24.02, what is that reddish stuff to the left as I'm seeing it, as you're crawling out that drift? I've never seen that before.
That's what I was wondering too...Yelling at Gly...go back, go back!!
I asked the same. I’m curious if it is Cinnabar?
I wish i lived closer to the area you guys live because i would love to go exploring that kinda things
Cant Wait Until Next Week Gly Looks Very Interesting
3 suggestions:
1) Use the low cut filter on the microphone. Still got some bumping and thumping.
2) Give Mister M or Randy a checklist for your activities. Pilots use them so they don't forget stuff!
3) Use the preview footage as your open. Yes, everyone else does it. Its OK to be like everyone else sometimes. People like to see what is coming up.
Thanks!
Keep up the good work!
Hi from Syracuse NY brothers and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures
That was different! Go Randy!
Learned a lot! Seen some old maps online and found a bunch of mines here, recently someone’s yard/house fell some into a mine, was crazy. Didn’t know they mined here in Michigan besides rock pits of course
Another great episode!! Thank you Gly and Randy!! And of course....the dead rabbit who sacrificed everything!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. My geology prof. Was one of the most interesting people I ever learned from. When I gave him a sold all sized meteor that fell on the farm he went galactic you’d think I bought him a new car.🤗🇺🇸
Sold ball sized meteor damn google spell check arne sorry
Lol and when you find that fresh collapse/vein, I bet that you don't air that footage! 😂😂
In the second Adit you went into Gly, you completely missed a massive Widowmaker, a massive crack in the back of the mine where it starts about in the center and goes off to the right rib and the gap between the falling piece and the back must have been at least an inch! It was above a smaller collapse that you walked over to explore the rest of the mine. And if a dense guy like me saw it, it had to be something significant, but you seemed to not notice or not care at the least. I'm surprised that you would have moved under it, but I might me making a mountain out of a molehill as I'm certainly no expert. The time mark on the video is 15:44. I know that would have broken a bone or two had it fallen on you or Randy. A broken Shoulder and a concussion would have been a terrible end to your exploring for at least 6 weeks. There were dozens and dozens of scary cracks all along the back of that mine and with the soft material is was carved into I wouldn't have gone further than 20 feet into that mine myself, but you guys have balls of titanium, so that's why I sit at home and watch YOU do all the dangerous work! LOL
“Gly”: These places are incredibly dangerous, there’s no doubt about it.
Excellent explore, thanks for sharing!❤
If this was a haulage, they did a good job of removing any tracks that might have existed.
Nice to see a return to your original style videos, both geology lesson wise and the basic camera work seeing what you see as you see it. Hope you decide one day to make your old videos public again, I miss 'em.
“Gly”: All of my older videos are still on RUclips. I’ve never removed them. Try accessing them via my channels homepage.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces I could have sworn you had more videos, I was going through your original material shortly after finding your channel in daily binges and then the next day it seemed there was a whole batch gone. I'm losing it. =-)
I wish i explored around there! that area looks awesome!
Very Cool explore...
So Gly, that dark rock that was behind you at the beginning of the video is that basically a Lava Flow? I have seen lots of that driving up the 395 in California driving from LA and up through Bishop and north of that. It just looks like at one time lave was flowing until it cooled and dried in cliffs. You know you guys give Randy a hard time but he seems like a real cool guy. Quiet but a nice guy. I hope that Mr. M is doing well. I love his Abandoned and Forgotten Footage channel.
Thanks Gly!
Top of the morning to ya. Just arrived home from work in Santa Claus, Indiana and flipped on the tv. Just one great episode after another. You made my day Gly. Later!
( The Irish Squirrel)
Wouldn't it be easier for Randy have his own black light
I can not wait until next Saturday I will see you there Gly 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
(To quote an old TV show) "Would you believe?" we spent Thursday night in Tonopah and Friday in Goldfield? A little disappointed, almost everything was Closed. But did get a Tee Shirt from the Dinky Dinner for bringing the newly printed Menus from up the street by the Lady that printed them. Young man at the Visitor Center was helpful, but "NO" Tee shirts from Goldfield, just left overs from the closed Ghost Tour. By the way, anyone returning to California, might think twice about using Hwy 168 to Big Pine.
I was thinking of the Nutty Putty Cave when you mentioned it. So sad.
fantastic camera work and commentary! so informative and entertaining. Thanks for sharing guys!
Good explanation, hope Mr M. Is alright!
Hello Gly
Thank you for this Video
Amazing little mines
Have a good weekend
Yours Frank Galetzka
Are those dikes the same as the feeder dikes that we have here in Washington State I'm guessing yes and those are usually 45 to 55% silica that's why the magma is runny
Fantastic. Can't wait to see the next section.
BTW I love this channel you take me places I would not go myself
Well am not going to make any fat jokes because I'm know I'm on the level because my bubble is in the middle, lol. Hi Guy's be safe with Gly in charge. Awesome video work guys.
Gly if that dead Rabbit 🐇 came back from the dead zombie style which of the the two of you would make it the fastest!!!; ) had to throw it in for Mr.M !!!; )
“Gly”: I would pull the pin and throw my Holy Hand Grenade at it. Quote: “Monty Python”
How in the world has Gly not ran into a den of rattlesnakes ? Were is Mr. M? You Always need the comic relief . Love the show.
From Randy. I've come across 3 earlier in April. In episode 99 we found a den with 2 rattlesnakes nearby but were not filming yet. They are more scared of us than we are of them.
New favorite video. Awesome job all!
