Hi Brandy👋👋 I think it’s a great passion and such an adventure to poke around and question what was! Glad to hear from you, hope today’s treating you well!👍👋👋
That mine has a lot of loose and no rock-bolts at all. It is obvious that the miners did not seal it properly and probably were very lax with the ceiling safety when working the site. Always have a buddy with you when going underground and always have a breathing apparatus to give you a chance if gas is encountered.
Thanks for sharing another fine and interesting location, it pays to be cautious in those mines also take an air monitor with you unless a mine has good air flow. I'm waiting for the next video lots of fine scenery out there also.
Absolutely correct, trying to figure out the best method here. I have found a good bit of information about this and currently on planning! Air flow is a great recommendation, thank you for the thought Charles! As always thanks for tuning in and sharing your insights, hope today is treating you well and look forward to hearing from you on the next adventure! Thank you👍👋👋
Great stuff. That old truck body reminds me of when I was your age. I worked in a gravel pit. We used one for our control room and tool shed. The old ones were tough. We could lock it up. People trying to break in failed several times. The crushing and screening plant and conveyors all had start and stop switching in it. We ran it off a generator with a large Cataplilar engine. When your gut says don't go in, listen to it. That old mine is talking to you. I could tell several ways. Especially by your body language and how fast you got out. That tapping noise before you went in is like Morse code. Old miner spirits may be just the wind. You make the call. Be safe. Look up a better way of how to be safe. I want you to live a long time and share more adventures. I'm getting too old for some of that. Old guys like me live through your Yung eyes.
Really nice to hear this, adriaan. Glad I could take you along and share the journey it’s my passion and what I’m here for! Your remarks are quite thoughtful, I think we share similar thoughts. I will take extra care and only navigate what is sound.. Thanks for joining and hope to hear from you on the next one, good day to you sir.👍👋👋
You seem to be developing a knack for finding weird stuff in BFE, OBJ. You know I love me some mine exploring ... Too cool ... nice old mine and artifacts ... ⛏⚒⛏ If only, I was younger, ... And maybe a little closer ...lol. You and Jackie take care and stay safe, cool and FreeBest wishes from southwestern Oregon
Great to hear from you OG, thanks for sharing your thoughts..Still thinking about this site can’t wait to finisher out! I noticed I am coming across a lot as well looking through our journey so far… I think I’m starting to think like a prospector/mountain man the more the land takes over my soul. While my legs still work and heart still beats I’ll be out and about sharing the adventure.. My pleasure truly.. The awesome people like yourself and many others who share this passion/ wandering adventure like I do keep me going at times.. Truly thankful and happy to provide and peak curiosity. You might not be as young as myself but your always apart of the Mountain West Adventure when I’m out..Cold one to you buddy! Will do and thanks for joining.. See ya on the trail👍👋👋
I do say it takes a bit of nerve entering an abandoned mine, really can’t wait to get back out. cannot believe I found such a gem. wasn’t expecting it, glad I went in and shared the adventure/experience so far! The exposure on the silver vein I think really hooked me..Shame this history isn’t documented more. Would love to hear the original prospectors story! Thank you for the kind words, hope to hear from you on the next one. see you on the trail👍👋
I have not been to eastern Oregon yet..A lot of our viewers has mentioned sites of interest there also. Beautiful country isn’t it? Can’t wait to check out the inner workings soon. Just working on a really cool project at the moment! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, hope to hear from you soon! 👍👋👋
@@MountainWestProductions let me know if you want info on eastern Oregon. Fascinating history. I am from a real ghost town 5,500’ in the Blue Mountains. My uncle lived there or one of his gold claims for 50 yrs. I was panning for gold when I could walk.
This is fascinating, I like kind of wondering who was up in these areas prospecting and took the risk and what not..You hear a lot about big claims but never what was physically pulled out Or the ore vein that made it all worthwhile… I have a couple spots placer related as well. Have not panned as much as of now. That said I am curious about the blue mountains, I haven’t heard of them but I do spend a lot of time across the west and am always looking for the next site. There’s a ghost town up there also?
@@MountainWestProductions there was a 50-100 mile wide belt in Grant and Baker counties in the Blue Mountains where alot of gold was mined. We are from Granite, and there are 7 other ghost towns in the same area. I keep replying and UA-cam keeps deleting my replies. I have no idea why
Absolutely, thank you for the thoughts, hope to hear from you soon! Also I believe Ohio may have limited coal mining history/activity.. Atleast Kentucky does which may be close👍👋👋
It’s unfortunate some areas/places do not embrace the history or past. I have a hard time seeing stuff removed or changed when it’s something so amazing… I understand..
Sometimes on some of these sites I get an eerie feeling, not sure what however but I can tell there’s something really off or negative about its location/ history or area. I’ve been wanting to do a EMF for a night! Nice to hear from ya Johnny, Thank You! 👍👍👋
That looks like a Uranium mine! Stay out ! Ive been prospecting since 07! One day I found a peice of brecciated rock,similar to whats there! It's cubed shaped and a soft ore. Fractures in square chunks. I compared it to others online, and the colors go from tgst sandy beige to stained black! Whoever left this mine,had filled in the adit shaft entrance. I have an expression: When in DOUGHT, DON'T! MEANING,ITS SAFER TO NOT DO IT,THEN TO. The adit looks like it has enough rock at the doorway to keep you in there for a while! You didn't say your girlfriend was with you,so to exploring unknown mines don't,and by yourself, don't do it! Your life depends on keeping yourself safe above your curiosity to explore! The camera mentality,gotta have pictures! Never enter a mine or shaft without backup,a freind. Never go it alone ! Remember those blm signs your govt has: stay out n stay alive! Bring a Geiger counter there!😮
You think it’s uranium? The site says silver, I’m pretty sure it’s silver and other tertiary metals. I don’t think there’s uranium up in this range from any claim. but you never know I agree you just never do. This site here makes me wonder about proper ventilation as well. I think it goes back far. it’s a really interesting one a lot of guys have told me that ones no good as well how’s… Thank you for the knowledge good stuff there. Appreciate you 👍
I'm always amazed at the stuff that's left abandoned.

Gotta agree with everybody else. Do NOT go in that mine! Far too many ways things could go wrong!
Never go into a mine like that one unless someone is going with you, be- careful dude
Will do, Thank you👍👋

That mine was probably dug with picks and shovels.
Very cool discovery, was brave to go as far as you did😮 enjoyed

Very dangerous old mine. To much loose material in the addit. That's a look but stay out.
look at all the old tailing piles
There’s alooottt! This one’s a special one here!
Thanks for dropping in👋👍👍
place looks very unstable shale rock colapses easy so stay away
Nice collection of Christmas trees.
Now you’re talking, drive up to Yellowstone club and pass um out like candy!👍👋
very cool
Happy to share it and hear from you👍 See you on the trail friend. Thank you👋
Looks like a scene from the movie Pale Rider.
Interesting haha I’ll have to look into the film!
Looks exactly like in the Blue Mountains in eastern Oregon where there are many working and abandoned mines.

@@MountainWestProductions there are many ghost towns up there, 7 in the immediate vicinity. Sumpter OR is the largest with people living there.

When a structure is sealed like that it was probably used to store dynamite.
cool mine explore, wish we had such mines im OH. hope you let someone know where you will be before hand.
Absolutely, thank you for the thoughts, hope to hear from you soon!
Also I believe Ohio may have limited coal mining history/activity.. Atleast Kentucky does which may be close👍👋👋
@@MountainWestProductions we have our fair share of old mines right in my area, but none of them are ever left exposed like out west.
It’s unfortunate some areas/places do not embrace the history or past. I have a hard time seeing stuff removed or changed when it’s something so amazing… I understand..
You ever get the feeling of 👻 out there on old sites? 😅
Sometimes on some of these sites I get an eerie feeling, not sure what however but I can tell there’s something really off or negative about its location/ history or area. I’ve been wanting to do a EMF for a night!
Nice to hear from ya Johnny, Thank You! 👍👍👋
@MountainWestProductions Yeah, def gotta be standing a few hairs up. Hope you're packing 🔫 out there in the woods...never know. 🐺 🐻👴 😆
That looked like a Bud light can on the ground you didnt show. It was blue!
I’m not sure I noticed that? I wonder if someone is in there? can you timestamp where this is!
@ 7:23 there was something bright blue on the tracks. Not sure if that was what jw noticed.
7:12. There's your shaft.
old box off a 1930s 40s delivery truck
This guy keeps going in old mines, he is not long for this world. Deadly mold, gases, collapse.
I like my life. Cool to look at, but not enter.
That looks like a Uranium mine! Stay out ! Ive been prospecting since 07!
One day I found a peice of brecciated rock,similar to whats there!
It's cubed shaped and a soft ore. Fractures in square chunks.
I compared it to others online, and the colors go from tgst sandy beige to stained black!
Whoever left this mine,had filled in the adit shaft entrance.
I have an expression: When in DOUGHT, DON'T!
MEANING,ITS SAFER TO NOT DO IT,THEN TO.
The adit looks like it has enough rock at the doorway to keep you in there for a while!
You didn't say your girlfriend was with you,so to exploring unknown mines don't,and by yourself, don't do it! Your life depends on keeping yourself safe above your curiosity to explore!

Never go it alone !

@@MountainWestProductions Do you carry an oxygen metre,and a radiation detector?gold and silver have been found in limestone, but they say it's rare!
We could go back with more lights and I can bring my air monitor with me.
Never a dull moment, can’t wait to see what we run into next! 🩷
Always a great adventure, we do need a geologist ya know..Rock Hound!!
