7:51 NOTICE the colour change and the band to the left.

3:27 The straight wall on the left, is the fault, Google!

2:45 This a fault Breccia. Google

2:12 They were following a fault and alteration zone (ore), they then split off to try to see if parallel fault zones exist.

0:15 Tis very weird, to me it outlines a geological grid, the coloured sections are anomalous to ? mineralization? Retired now but the spark for science and how each thing finds it place, at times closely associated with others. Arsenopyrite is a companion as is mercury being proximal to gold in specific deposition environments. You got to be a Shirlock Holmes and absolutely loving it to peruse the quest for understanding of how this gets here, a gift for the earth?

Why does your sound always sound muffled? Is your camera enclosed or something? Awesome videos though! So interesting to think people were digging these without the heavy machinery of today

Please remove the verbiage, abandoned mine as that is not an accurate statement. The 76 Mine is Private property.

Man I want to go so bad I can taste it 😢

1st

Looks interesting but can not seem to find this in your list of videos 🤔

Nice!

Great find looking forward to the full video soon ⛏️🤔 thank you for the preview

Looks like an amazing drive and hike to get there too

Hats off to artifact preservation; good on you! TY

Quite the feeling of discovering something with all that research done that's absolutely incredible

The “love you” as your descending 😂

My brother in laws' father owned and operated the Lucky Day mines up there. Palo was his name. Are you familiar? Beautiful area, grew up camping out there

I'm the guy referred to below who, along with my partner, owned this mine from 1966 to 1968. The Ace of Diamonds was not its original name. The mine was claimed again sometime in the 1970's or later. The so-called small stope referred to in the comment from 7 years ago was actually a cave in. We excavated 155 carloads of waste at the end of the workings and found nothing further. Supposedly the tunnel ran another 175 feet past that and there was supposed to be a raise connecting this level with another one higher up the hill. Not so. We also excavated the upper adit and it had very bad shale rock and again, no evidence of a connection to any other workings. We checked it out briefly and quickly got out of there! That was the end of our activity. I appreciate the mine tour provided by this video. Oh, and I did graduate from the U of Washington in 1970 with a BS in mining engineering. Did an obligatory stint in the Navy and then spent 28 years in the mining industry. Retired in 2000. For me the only money to be made in mining was taking advantage of my company's savings and investment program and growing that over time so that when I retired we could live a comfortable retirement. For light in the mine, we used an auto headlamp and a car battery. It would last the time we spent on a weekend dig. We each had a mine car and when loaded, the other guy would wait until the load passed him and he would rerail his car and start digging. There was no need for light during the trip with the mine car, we just pushed them along in the dark. It was a brief but little bit of exposure to what mining was like.

Wow that is so cool. I remember going with my parents with some friends of ours to Monte Cristo as a kid back in the mid to late 1970's I do remember seeing a mine up on a hill from the store front and we tried to hike up to that mine. But I don't we even made it. Also there was a mine not far from the Big Four Picnic area right on the road that hidden by ferns and I would go check it out. I could only see inside but I couldn't go inside. Thanks for sharing your video.

I’d love to get back through that water someday. I hear it goes all the way into the next basin and connects with those mines.

I can show you an easier way to get there.

Location?

Hey just curious where is this? I need to check this out. Amazing video btw

Hi, This reminds me so much of my own life. Im from an old mining family in Australia. Where I lived as a child was a mountain out the back of our house with family mines from 1916ish & earlier. These were all abandoned & there are no roads, tracks or maps. Im the only one of my generation that knows where they are., I remember picking metal chunks out of the rock walls as a kid. They mined silver, lead, gold, molybdenite from super hard light grey granite. The last time I was there was 1991, we found 2 of them but there are others still in the area. We were tramping through the bush just like you are here in this video. Cheers Daniel.

This location was accessible by car back in the '90s. I went there a couple time around '94-'95. I drove in using my old Jeep CJ7. The road wasn't bad, but I was till surprised when I got to there and found a class C motorhome and a Honda sedan in the parking area. On one of my visits there was a guy in the river using a vacuum dredge. I did a little prospecting and found a small flake of gold about 1/8th inch round when popped open some cracked bedrock. At the time that section of the river was open to public prospecting. I don't know if it still is today. I never tried to enter the tunnel. I found the opening for the tunnel exit, but the up-river tunnel entrance was choked by lots of old logs that had been washed down the river. It's a very neat place.

I would like some side information about how many men worked that mine. Who laid the tracks, who brought the supplies up to them.

Climbing the shaft up the ore chute must have been one helluva trip, I tried to climb past the cave in at the end, wedged in the rotten timbers and soggy clay it didnt look passable however there's a lot of water pouring out. There's also another small opening in the cliffs.

The blue bulb was a flash bulb from the 1950's, they were used for indoor or low light film photography.

Where in colorado I live there,very curious,keep her a guarded secret,as I'm sure ya know😊

The fabled cart gasm,rare but fulfilling to find one in the wild,WHEELS and all!😮

Been there done that !! it sure is satisfying when you get to the top , makes it all worthwhile.

Nice find !

This is so cool and looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing. I enjoy all of your stuff.

very cool, thanks for sharing!

Guy Starbucks exploring, Golden Spur mine, it's no secret. Why delete ?

Where's this ?ua-cam.com/video/1JpZotklswM/v-deo.html

Sweet !

Awesome!!

I should have noted that a guy was working in this tunnel in the 1890s when they released water, and it punched him out of the tunnel all the way to the river...yiiipes!

I've been curious about that site ever since I spotted the claim on a vintage map (in Hodges book). Thanks for uploading a video that features some historical photos I hadn't seen previously!

Very cool & interesting. Thanks for sharing the adventure.

How do I get involved with you guys? You're in my neck of the woods. I have the book and the resources to do this stuff but I want to go with experienced explorers.

Well done Craig!

Good content but you need longer videos..
