Yes, I think this one was a little too heavily trafficked to have good artifacts, but the layout was interesting. If there were a way to come up from the bottom of that sporty, second winze, there may have been some good stuff there, but it was way too unstable to try coming in from the top.
Thank you for this mine explore It has been very impressiv when it was in full working. The miners in older times did a amazing job . There must be a great amount of copper in the mountain. All that blue Vitriole is a good sign. This modern prospektors damaged the this old history with her Spraypaint and there ribbons . Not very good. Best wishes and Glück Auf Frank Galetzka
One of the best mine explorer channels. I wish you would explain where the ore would be found as you travel through the adits and winze. I know that gold can be found in or near quartz veins and stringers, pyrite and stream bedrock. Gray rock can indicate lead and silver. Green and blue, copper and orange and yellow can be iron or sulfur. You always have great camera work and narration.
I have mountain views from our house, love watching thunderstorms rol across. You're brave going down that rotten ladder. Need to get you to the UK here and in some stone lined drifts with water up to your chest :)
Oh, don't worry, we get to have plenty of fun playing in the freezing, dark water as well in our mines up in the mountains... We've got a couple lined up for this summer that are so deep (I draw the line at swimming in the abandoned mines), that we're bringing in kayaks. I actually lived in the UK for several years, but it was before I was into the mines. I missed out on a lot!
I love watching your videos every Sunday! This location was absolutely amazing and I can't wait to see the rest of this location! Keep up the good work and I wish I could donate like muttly has! Best to you and your family!
They're embedded in the pants themselves (Crye Precision). The pants aren't cheap, but it is one of the best investments in mine exploring gear that I have ever made.

At the start you had a very beautiful postcard wow, very interesting explore again, but they did not keep a clean house eh, a few collapses and they dumped their mess everywhere, guess the other mine is somewhere behind a collapse.................
Just out of interest with all those surveys in that mine are they recent and if so are they protecting that mine to look after it?? Enough fantastic video and thank you for taking us with you 🙏🏻
@@TVRExploring yeah I guess that's very true mate, just looked new cause how orange it looked but I think u are right 👍🏻. Hope you go back to explore the deeper parts of that mine
It Depends entirely upon the circumstances in which you're exploring I have watched a Much Older video of Justin crawling around a large but crumbly mine where I find myself yelling at the cell phone "Hey Stop You've Already Been There Turn Around NO The Other Way!!!" And he Did get out so he knows his stuff but yes there are certain situations that can cause you to Become Lost!!! 🤠👍
It's really difficult to figure out the camera angle. Sometimes, I feel like you might be looking down, when in fact, the camera is pointed up. Evaluation how steep something is on screen is almost impossible without some kind of reference.
Bin mir relativ sicher, dass das von anderen Explorern kommt, die sich mit den Markern orientieren. Es gibt ja nicht nur Leute wie ihn, die nur filmen - sondern auch welche die wirklcih dokumentieren, Karten zeichnen und systematisch solche Anlagen aufmessen. Wahrscheinlich arbeiten die auch mit Behörden zusammen, oder sind sogar von den Behörden selbst. Ich mein Tunnel und Stollen werden ja auch regelmäßg überprüft, dass die nicht einstürzen. Je nachdem wie diese Minen und Bergwerke überbaut sind (Häuser, ganze Städte) ist das ja nicht uninteressant da ab und zu Leute reinzuschicken um zu gucken, ob da bald was einstürzt. Wobei ich merk bei den Videos auf diesem Kanal eher, dass die meisten am Arsch der Welt inne Wüste liegen. :)
The brightly colored paint and ribbons are survey markers from people prospecting these abandoned mines to see if any of them were worth reopening and could possibly be made profitable again using more modern mining technology that may not have been available when the mine was originally worked.
Do you know how long this mine was worked, it looks labyrinthine. Are there any of these old mines that might come up as workable again. I feel like if you could get permission to work them as a small group you could make a pretty decent living if you know what you are doing.
Now this is just nothing more than some random thinking but with those two winz declines being so close to each other I'm wondering if that's not the two separate minds and you'll just found we're the miners had connected allowing you to access the both of them and on another note and how many videos have you said aloud that it looks like it faces out and then you walk up to it and go oh wait no it takes a turn and keeps going?!? 🤠👍
The carbide lamp marks are not surviving markers they are sample locations, same holds true for the newer painted marks the length of the paint lines the brackets denotes sample width Survey marks are almost always placed in the back and will have some sort of spad or nail to hang a plumb bob or lamp for a back site.
One of your trademarks is when you show where you just came from. I really like that. Fun explore less any relics. Thank you!

Everything I know about mines, has been learned through this channel. Thank you for the videos.
Working my way oldest to newest right now! Awesome channel sir
Thank you for the kind words. This is one of the newest, so you must have gone through a lot of videos to get to this point!
@@TVRExploring oh watching the new ones as they come out and going back and watching the older ones.
Fun mine to explore and that opening shot of the weather is awesome!
👍👍👍👊😎
Yes, the weather that day was pretty wild!
This mine goes every which way. I got dizzy. I'm glad you know what you are doing because I would have gotten lost! Good job Justin and Crew!
I find it amazing some of the places these mine surveyors get to.... I want the job!
I have often wondered what the pay and the perks are for those folks that go back and survey older minds?!? 🤔
Nice job guys, those winzes are quite tempting!
I need to talk to you about a couple of winzes on our trip next month...
Another good look into mining works. I especially liked that mineralization. 👍🏻
Thank you for this mine explore

If you read his prologs you generally find out what was originally mined in that mind back in the day!!! 🤠👍

Thank you for exploring these places for us, no way I could do it 😊
I definitely wouldn't be able to explore knowing all those voices were down there.

Absolutely stunning start to the video Justin. Beautiful sky .❤😊
Not much for artifacts but it was still very interesting!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Impressive workings. Appreciate your hard work and a great tour!

He usually post on Wednesday.
Good explore definitely moist!!
It's one of the driest parts of Nevada too!
@@TVRExploring I'm guessing that thunderstorm you filmed at the start of the video may have had something to do with that!!! 🤠👍
Great mine tour, thank you
Stunning landscape!
This is a really interesting mine. Very photogenic. There's so much ground fall, interesting rock types.
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Great Explore! Wish we had these mines in Belgium.
Awesome man! You guys are awesome and grr blazing through... So Kool 👍
My knees are hurting just watching. Those must be GOOD knee pads 😂

I'm on board with the mine ferrets!
That was a marathon, wow, nice job.
This looks like a mine that you all might revisit to see where those other areas go
That was a super crumbly mine.
2:00 I don't believe it ends right there unless you show me.
Exactly!
Do you think those ingenious old time miners re-purposed an old Wells Fargo lock box into a skip?
Now that's a Thought!! 🤔
15 to 20 years old turtle. Kind of hard to count the scutes do to fading.
Just out of interest with all those surveys in that mine are they recent and if so are they protecting that mine to look after it?? Enough fantastic video and thank you for taking us with you 🙏🏻
The surveys could be decades old. Plastic ribbons and spray paint last for a long, long time underground...
@@TVRExploring yeah I guess that's very true mate, just looked new cause how orange it looked but I think u are right 👍🏻. Hope you go back to explore the deeper parts of that mine
Are you in Arizona? I have enjoyed your videos and cometary for some time; is your mine work going to commence soon?
We visit Arizona, but only one of the guys that we go out with lives in Arizona. I'll do another update on our mining project soon.
As a newer viewer I'd like and explanation of wins and stopes and other terms.
Is it true they would search the miners before they could go to town ??
Is it easy to find the exit or you can lost you?
It Depends entirely upon the circumstances in which you're exploring I have watched a Much Older video of Justin crawling around a large but crumbly mine where I find myself yelling at the cell phone "Hey Stop You've Already Been There Turn Around NO The Other Way!!!"

Interesting puddles of water you came across.
If I had to venture a guess I would say the thunderstorm he was videoing at the opening of this video probably has something to do with that!!! 🤠👍
It's really difficult to figure out the camera angle. Sometimes, I feel like you might be looking down, when in fact, the camera is pointed up. Evaluation how steep something is on screen is almost impossible without some kind of reference.
It's probably surveyed because gold is trading at 2000$ ounce and silver is at 24 ounce
Actually, those survey marks are often decades old. Plastic ribbons and spray paint last for a long time underground.
Please can someone explain this discovery marks that are in the most shown mines to a unknowing but interested German?

Keep watching this channel and you'll see the mine that he and some friends have reopened and are reworking. 🤠👍
@@worldtraveler930 thanks I do watch regularly. I am finding the mine reopening fascinating
How goes the gold mine? Are you rich yet? Broke?
Once Federal Bureaucracy gets involved the answer usually results in Broke!!! 😠
looks like somebody, is preparing to claim this mine, with the amount surveys their is at the mine, been longtime since i last saw something similar
I still don't believe that end was a dead end.. Blast it.. ! There is more behind..
There could well be. There was supposed to be another mine that connected to this one.
Now this is just nothing more than some random thinking but with those two winz declines being so close to each other I'm wondering if that's not the two separate minds and you'll just found we're the miners had connected allowing you to access the both of them and on another note and how many videos have you said aloud that it looks like it faces out and then you walk up to it and go oh wait no it takes a turn and keeps going?!? 🤠👍
I know why you don't but I wish people would share their locations for mines and caves😢
I used to, but paid a heavy price for it...
@@TVRExploring why?
