- Join us as we bring you along on our exploration taking you underground into an abandoned gold mine located in the Western Cascade mountains of Washington State dating to 1900.
You won't believe the historic mining artifacts we found left behind by these miners. Watch as we share these amazing and historic mining artifacts and reveal the exploration of a bonus upper mine adit!
THE MAJORITY OF THE MINE NAMES ARE CHANGED OR ALTERED IN OUR VIDEOS TO PROTECT HISTORIC ARTIFACTS AND PREVENT THE SITE FROM BECOMING A NUISANCE SITE. IN SOME CASES WE HAVE BEEN GRANTED PRIVATE PROPERTY PERMISSION AND WE HAVE BEEN ASKED NOT TO DISCLOSE LOCATIONS.
Many ghost towns, mines and other forgotten historic sites in Washington State have already disappeared from history and many more are being lost each year to the ravages of time, wildfire, vandalism, and intentional closure. In addition to our many years of photographic documentation of these important historic sites we are now attempting to video document as many sites as we can so there is a lasting record of these places for future generations.
We hope you enjoy what we do and will join us on our adventures through a bygone era of Washingtons rich history. Not only do we love the history we explore and document, but we truly enjoy sharing these sites and experiences with our followers and viewers.
We appreciate you and thank you for Watching!!

Wow!! Too find an ore cart in Washington state is so rare!!! And a single jack too! You guys hit the jackpot.... Im so very envious.
You are right. It is rare to find an ore car. There are not too many sites that have them. Thanks for your comments. They are always appreciated.
Lots stuff lift behind love it
Its a great site and artifacts! Thanks for the comments.
Take me with you take me with you😊 I’m in the same area as you guys and I am passionate about documenting these sites before they are lost to time. I also have no interest in collecting artifacts. Only photo and video documentation. I would genuinely love to come along and maybe share some interesting research materials you may or may not already possess.
Fully understand if you decline.
Anyway, I appreciate the work you are doing.
Appreciate your interest and comments. Send us a message.
Hi, retired mining engineer here. The items you referred to as jacklegs actually predate that technology. Your photo showed a typical drilling stand where you had vertical post that screwed up to the roof with a horizontal arm that supported the drill. The drill was advanced by turning a screw and you can see it in this video at the end of the rock drill. A jackleg is a single air powered cylinder that the miner uses to support and position his drill without all that earlier support structure. The drill advances by extending the jackleg cylinder.
It appears neither adit encountered mineralization of any value, so technically this remained a prospect and never became an actual mine. It does have a small museum's worth of artifacts though, very interesting.
Thanks for your input. We appreciate it.
👍 cool artifacts at the portal ⛏⚒⛏
They are great artifacts, no doubt.
Thank you for the hike, it made things much easier...ron...beautiful state we have
Thanks. We appreciate that!
Really cool I never get tired of watching this stuff thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for watching appreciate it!
Just wondering what were the words written on paper inside the plastic bag? I don't recall you talking much about it but we could see it in the video.
That was a business card from our friends at Northwest Underground Explorations.
Awsome what about ur air quality
Air is good in the majority of Washington metal mines. With that said, you need to have knowledge of the specific mines conditions.
How can I express my appreciation more than to just say, I love your videos and how that has reinforced my music and art. And you don't take the artifacts out. You leave them for someone to enjoy later. Music, painting, and sculpture all have colors.
Thank you!
What was the blue on the walls in the upper portal?
Ya'll are braver than I! Too close of quarters 😊😊
Copper surface wash.
How much gold did they get from this mine
Not sure there are almost no records for this mine that exist. We have done a considerable amount of research and came up empty.
Ah yes....the Devils Club mine 😄
Yes, indeed, an exploration favorite.
Always been intrigued by the amount of mining that took place in Washington State. From the era of coal mining to the Gold, silver and copper mines strewn throughout. Used to fish Conconully a lot as a kid and could see the portal entrances of the mines in the hills above. I believe there is still an active silver mine in the area today. Thanks for sharing your incredible venture into th Emperor mine.
We appreciate your comments very much, and we are glad we could share our experiences with you. Thank you for watching!!
How did u know it was sate to go in
In this case, it is a networking system with other explorers sharing the known conditions of this mine. Otherwise, it is using a 02 detector.
