I got lucky and had my drone up in the air when a full grown Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was crossing the trail. I wanted to put him in my pocket and take him home but his body language was saying that I'd had better not try.

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 UA-cam!
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...

Always respect a person who treats animals well. Good on you man.
I'm so excited Laura is coming back!!!! Can't wait. 🎉
Yes,, she’s like a breath of fresh air😊
That snake was posturing so well!!! What a stunning western diamondback!
Good fun with the drone again Gly , sad to see frank decide to retire from mine exploration yesterday, he’s done a lot to make mine exploration popular and will be missed , keep up the good work
Well you finally got to see and put on film a rattlesnake. Yikes, he was a big one. Now stay away from bushes....huh? Neat terrain with many backroads. There was stockyard fencing by that windmill. Some rancher, yrs. back was running cattle in the area. Such great SW scenery! Cactus everywhere! You sure saved yourself some walking thru the "picker brush" by using your drone. Also, with snakes on the back of your mind, that took the cautiousness & worry off you also. This was different today & enjoyable. Thanks for taking us along on your "re-con".
Excellent to watch. I liked the rattler. Good to see an overview of the area as well. Thanks Gly.
Your drone footage is awesome. You have a real talent for this.
Can't wait for you to get back inside the mines. Excited for next week!!!!
“Gly”: Yep, a new area requires a bit of recon before going underground.
You do a great job flying your drone, exiting that building through the window I leaned to the right a bit...lol. Old Bob sounds nice, I am happy to have helped in his recovery, even if it was a tiny bit. I love to hear a healthy engine purring like Old Bob is. I didn't catch you location, are you back in Arizona?
Where is your stick with the tennis ball? I would say it is definitely needed.
I think this is the first time I've seen a rattlesnake in your videos. Cool.
Back in the beginning of the channel he had a snake follow him into an adit 😳😂🤣
@rawbsworld6604 yup those were the old days of gly’s videos. I loved how we dragged the rubber snake behind him while flipping a sign down as he walked into the adit. Been a follower of gly’s since his very first video years ago.
NICE, explore Gly!!! Love your Drone footage and your sharing your knowledge and explaining how things were layer out!! See you next week!!!
Yup gly, I have a placer claim in Arizona and the only way to access it is by driving a side by side thru the dry wash. There was a jeep trail at one time to get to the claim back in the 20’s-30’s but has since been blocked off by a residential home in the 80’s. We can’t stop people from accessing the property whether they’re just driving thru (which you can’t go any further past 3/4 of a mile from our last corner marker and then you’ll have to turn around) , hiking, hunting or even camping on the claim. But once they start looking for minerals, we can have them arrested and charged for taking mineral's without written claim owners permission as long as we have proof of their activities. Other than that, it’s public property.
“Gly”: Yep, that’s correct. Enjoy your public lands but if you’re on an active mineral claim… no prospecting!
The shots of the rattler from your drone were magnificent! Another great episode(as usual) can’t wait for next week!
Drone filming is fantastic mate.👍
We all love a great pair of comfortable pants! Where I live plenty of rattlesnakes. We even have the Mojave Green. So glad you're back 💚💚💚
...👍🏾🙏👍🏾✨✨✨ Awesome Thumbs 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Up Out To You Bob ...I will be with you next Saturday... See you there ...as I enjoyed this one...Bye Bye...✨✨✨👍🏾🙏👍🏾...
Thanks for the cool recon video. That rattle snake was big enough to be a fryer. If you had a hankerin' for fried rattle snake.
Thanks!
“Gly”: Thank you!
Get those drone skills. Awesome piloting Gly.
Nice rattle snake, I've encountered many over the last 50 years, many at 29 Palms Marine Base. Heard many stories of Marines getting bit, a buddy of mine cut the head off one, I tried to get him to just leave it alone but no he just had to kill it just to say he did, he did dress it out and cooked it, he and a few others ate it. Great videos Gly, love the Drone shots. Very interesting place there, yes I bet you two are going to incounter water, the windmill and water tanks tells me water is not to far away. Gly see you next week and God bless.👍❤️🇺🇸
Fairly sizable snake - a UA-cam first - snake via drone. Great drone footage. Thanks, Gly.
Hi nice seeing you today. GOD bless you.
Good looking Rattler made my mouth water to think how delicious it would be fried and dipped in sauce. Great scouting expedition and I really liked te rock work on the outside of that building.
Hi! I like your adventures a lot. You are a real professional in what you are doing.
You're definitely making me want to watch the treasure of the sierra madre again...
I see Mr Bucket doesn't have much to say these days! Is he still Green Eyed over Laura? 😂🙏✌🇬🇧
I think he's poorly.
He's been looking very "pail" 😅😅😅😅
Pops I just wanted to tell watch your back on that partnership ok
Wow Gly nice to see happy days back to normal , Great recon and supper drone footage . Cant wait to see you both getting back adventuring future mines . Australia id watching , keep safe and enjoy life
That rattler looks like he had eaten recently - he was pretty plump in the middle. I used to be absolutely terrified of those critters but have learned a lot about them watching the UA-cam channel 'Rattlesnake Solutions'. A guy in the Tucson area retrieves them out of people's yards and relocates them further out in the desert. Love the drone!
“Gly”: Yep, just like any other wild critter out there if you learn about them and treat them with respect you don’t have too much to worry about.
Agree! Fear is usually caused by lack of knowledge.
Really appreciated your channel, Gly. My ancestors were minors and quarrymen in Colorado and I love the history. ❤ Your channel has taught me a lot about mines and I really enjoy that! Keep up the great exploring!
Thneaky Thnake!
Oh, and Thank you for what you do. I love it!
Reminds me of when we went to visit our son in San Antonio. Exiting the hotel, we heard rattlesnakes all around us, they were all just past the edge of the mowed lawn.
Awesome video Gly!
Hi Old Bob and Mr Bucket 👋
See you next weekend
Let us know when you’ll be exploring inside mines again. I’ve seen enough desert, sand and rock piles. Haven’t seen a thank you for contributors yet. Trying to remain a longtime follower.
“Gly”: Oh quit your whining cry baby pee pants. 😢 A new area requires a bit of recon before you can get into the mines, if you’ve watched the channel long enough you should know that by now.
Well not a cry baby Gly. Mature grandma, college educated and caring contributor. Just saying what I did in an intent to help your channel. Perhaps I wasn’t gentle enough with my words. Glad you have Old Bob back in action. Looking forward to your exploration with Laura. Several of us miss Mr. M and you two together. If you two are in touch, would you give us an update on Mr. M. and tell him he’s missed. Be safe and happy Gly. Thanks bunches.
Wow that was a harsh response Gly. Geez
That looks like a Mojave green rattle snake vary aggressive,,, not deadly for humans but serious if you get bit , thanks BigAl California
“Gly”: This was a typical western diamondback, I could tell by the banding on the tail. This is a good video to watch to learn the difference between the two: ua-cam.com/video/AIqppv-DlXM/v-deo.htmlsi=Kr4dIdeCe6WxDXPg
Been thru this before at least I’m not concerned about getting under ground , explore / recon just as satisfying/ interesting getting under ground just the icing on top! 👍🤣 good vid I enjoyed it 🤷♂️ ✌️🤙
Tank you vary much lol
Down around your ankles? TMI !!!! Especially if your asking Laura if she remembered that 🤷♂️😳
Good to see you are out there and work!
I love seeing rattlesnakes out in the field.
Here's an idea, maybe Mr Bucket could become a Centre Rear Seat Driver of reason, with Safety Conscious Tips! (I remember "Clunk, Click every Trip", the '80's Seatbelt Campaign, maybe you could Work it so Mr Bucket highlights Safety Aspects?), Or maybe I should stop drinking before your Saturday Uploads? P.S it's gone 3pm here 😂🍻🇬🇧✌🙏
Hi, great to see you back. If the water table there is not far down, then the mine is probably flooded even if you could get in.
Cheers Daniel.
Gly it is good to see you and Bob out exploring. Awesome recon video, also the rattlesnake / nope rope. Not to fond of them. But just let them be . Can’t wait to see what the barred adit has to offer . Be safe out there . See you next weekend . 👍🏻
THANKS, GLY
im watching gly , its looking good for future explores , lets see what happens eh .. thumbs up buddy
maybe one day we will meet up ,, who knows ,, im ok going down mines ,,
Looking forward to you and Laura getting into that incline shaft adit and drifts etc.🚢🇬🇧🚂⛏
thank you gly,,i have wondered why they put the bolts in pipes,,,
Watching now with a beer 👍
What does everyone think about Frank retiring, gutted. Found this page same time as Frank.
Love the videos Gly 👍
No fake snakes like the early videos.. 😆😆😆 if you know, then you know.. That was a biggie.. I look forward to hanging out with you every Saturday morning. Maybe this year you can go out in the snow and see what you can see.. I appreciate the channel as always.
Thanks Mr Coolness.
“Gly”: Snow? That’s a four letter word! Nope, I don’t do snow anymore, not after living in WY for over 30 years. Yeah, I much prefer the fake plastic snakes with fishing line wrapped around their necks. Lol
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces I faintly remember an episode a few years ago of you traversing the snow to an abandoned house and checking out what was left of the structures. I've never seen you do that before or since then. I don't blame you on the "no snow". I happily live in Florida.
Yes Gly you need one of those drones that have the little gas engine on it the battery only runs your directions and camera, the one i had seen with this set up had a lidar unit on it, by the way Frank from Canada said he is retired from mine exploring. Be safe my friend.
Great show what was that fence in area after you left windmill 👍👍
I’m guessing it was a dog run 😝✌️
How to make a Rattle Snake Famous. Short intro. Cool music though. Good going Sky King. Future - check out, recon. That's a huge waste rock pile. Well, no entrance to this mine. Dud, Rats. Thanks for another video.
Gly,
You could have had rattlesnake supper. It's said to taste just like a cold-blooded, rodent eating, legless belly crawling scale covered chicken 😂😂
The cotton woods in the bottoms of those washes tell you the water is pretty shallow likely within 50 feet probably a lot less of the river bottoms. Looks like a date palm at the end of the road of the 1st site, so could be a dump site? the snake was more agitated than I've seen most must be the drone most don't react unless perturbed, but they can strike even if not coiled so don't get too close. The 1st mine site will get colder than the 2nd site as saguaros have a similar frost tolerance to citrus but they are also more tolerant on east facing slopes where the frost period can be mitigated. Not sure if the wind mill was for the mine looks like a ranching operation at least now the stock pen was new. there may be more sealed shafts there has been a kick to close off potential mine drainage into the drainage's that feed Phoenix or the Colorado, at least where evidence of active roosting can be found. Its possible the shaft is loose filled and can be dug out fairly easily if no blasting is required it could preserve whats left if the collar was lost. What was a big mine was San Manuel not sure whats left after the shut down after removing 700 million tons of ore. the underground had 5 - 3000 ft deep shafts...
There's not much left at San Manuel. BHP pulled a borderline criminally boneheaded maneuver by tearing down the infrastructure there with years of ore remaining.
Love the drone footage. more wildlife like exploring some of the nests you come across in the mines. would be great ,
Guess a guy has to get up pretty early in the morning to be first around here...😂
Up by the stacked rock marker it looks like you flew right over either a collar or more buildings footings.
“Gly”: Those were the concrete footings for the headframe that was once there and is now long gone.
Gly, the concrete pad at 11:51 wouldn't be a cap on the old shaft would it?
Nice drone I should get one
I know where you were, I live up there. You found some nice spots, and there are many more, but you would be surprised by what you couldn’t/didn’t see.
At last! I get to see areal rattlesnake :)
When will Laura be back? It was a fun tour today? Thank you!
Good recon video really showed the overall terain. Was wondering how you took Frank and Sharons retirement news?
I'm not sure if I missed it, but what ever happened with Mr M?
Alway look forward to the intro music, "The Road Less Traveled" Gabriel Lewis (2017)
snakes are deaf, they sense vibrations in the ground. stamp of thump a stick on the ground to scare them away
Haha! When you said you will put the drone in the air it already was. Probably had to land for a new battery.
“Gly”: I’ve got three different drones with me at all times. One that follows me around, one I use for recon and one I use for cinematic wide shots. The one that captured the snake was the one that follows me around anonymously.
I think the best place to see a rattle snake from is my chair in my house 5,000 miles away :)
Fun snake fact: they don't have ears! Snakes 'hear' through vibrations traveling from the ground into their jaw bones. That's why it was far less responsive to the drone than you or your vehicle. Air vibrations don't register much with snakes, especially the higher pitched stuff (a deep bass drum, like the kind that you can feel vibrating your chest, is probably audible to snakes.)
" get the drone up in the air" 🤔but the drone was already up in the air 🤷🏼♂ is Gly sipping on 🌵Juice❓
I love recon videos!
Hahahaha your powers of observation are phenomenal how did you ever deduce that was back in the day when they liked to use pvc pipe and an old can? I know I know 🤷♂️ sometimes I can’t help myself 😳😝😂 ✌️🤙
We need to provide you with a settling torch. What I do not understand, all of these minds are on BLM property which stands for bureau of land management, which also stands for public lands. That means that all of that land and what is on that land belongs to the people of the United States we pay taxes on that land and we have the right to explore that land. More and more people cannot take responsibility for their own actions, and everybody knows and it is posted on almost every single abandoned mine. Do not enter extremely dangerous, but people that enter and get hurt sue the federal government it is just ridiculous. But if you choose to enter your mind, you do it at your own risk, and they need to stop closing off these minds and plugging them up. Because one day American people are going to have to re-enter a majority of these minds to remind precious resources that are available., Bad times are coming people just need to wake up and see it.
It's already happening in Arizona. There are a lot of underground mines being reopened.
Side winder bad hisser. Most of the ones I've messed with will coil up, but a side winder won't.
I think the shaft in your drone footage is right in front of old Bob. When you were on top of the big tailing pile.
FYI..Frank and Sharon retired their channel last night.
No they didn’t! 🤦♂️ just be running the catalog of vids from the first and will still be doing a YB update here and there 👍 they just kicking back to enjoy retirement
They are not doing abandoned mine hunting anymore...they will still be doing content from the Yankee boy mine...Did you watch the video😬?
Thats a shame, enjoyed their adventures also.
Another great video,yikes take care where you are walking that looked like a well fed but spiritedly rattlesnake
What drone do you recommend
Although you are not in the Garden of Eden...don't be messin with snakes! 🐍
🤣👍
Good people respect animals ..
Nicely done Gly. Just curious how do you get your drone shots of your truck while you're driving?
The drone he uses has an automatic follow mode which will follow an object while recording.
“Gly”: The Skydio 2 is an autonomous flying drone with near perfect collision avoidance.
What are the tall cacti please? ❤🇦🇺
“Gly”: Saguaro Cactus 🌵
Gly just got notified Frank and Sharon have retired, so sad. Just an FYI
What do you have in the plastic bucket on your passenger side of old Bob ?
“Gly”: My hand held camera rig. 🎥
It looks like there was something next to the pile of rocks (marker) on top of hill.
?
They eat good
Good morning Gly,,, that s pretty nerve wracking even from this distance. Rattlesnakes can strike high up waste pants high,. That’s why cowboys and ranchers wear chaps ., waste high. A very magnificent view and video anyway. Good safety strategy when on a claim.
Well, at least it wasn’t spiders. I can’t stand spiders. But still rattlesnakes are no joke! We gotta be careful with what we run across out in the wild. Awesome mine as well!!
West of Cleator on the way to Crown King. There are mines that have open adits. One of the mines is called the De Soto. The other one is called swastika. I can show you where they’re at.
@rickcalliham9171 yup, I stop by Cleator every winter during my mining season for a couple of hours of drinking. We get a little to wasted everytime & we never get a chance to get to crown king LOL. I love the cleator bar, cheap beer & it’s not far from my mining claim (about 45 min drive via 17 or 1 1/2 hrs via jeep trails from Black Canyon City if we drive the side by side.
“Gly”: Lots and lots of private property and patented mining claims in that area but I’ll take a look in the coming months. 👍
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces well, I’ve been in both of them so I’m sure you won’t have a problem
Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes?! Thanks Gly, BTW are the stickers going back up on the roll bar? At least the Sleestak one.
“Gly”: It’s time to find some new ones!
The crazy Canuck retired!!! You have any suggestions on anyone similar I can watch! I ONLY got room for two different explorers so be careful!
You seen all EAM vids? If not your in luck said he’s gonna show the whole vid catalog from the beginning 😆
@@rawbsworld6604 Im a fairly new watcher, I watched all the way back to where he had a different woman and I couldn't watch it! I fealt like I was a cheating husband!! LoL
@@johnnyseventeenseventysix3911 Max wasn’t a woman! 🤦♂️😆
@@rawbsworld6604 I saw some with him too! Can't remember the name of the other broad before Sharon!
Maybe it was just one or two videos with the other woman!
❤
So Gly, what are your thoughts on Frank and Sharron retiring from exploring abandoned mines?
Best thing about retirement is plenty of time to drink molsens and party naked especially them two on top of their own mountain 😂
@rawbsworld6604 well, they are rehabbing the Yankee boy, and they got the museum... so they won't be idle. But Frank would go places no one else would! Lol
“Gly”: I’m just happy he did it for as long as he did and never got hurt or injured.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces amen to that!!!!
When are we gonna see your mine?
Bucket is VERY quiet
When they bulldoze a mine portal closed do they check that no one is in it exploring?
“Gly”: I would hope so, especially if some guys Jeep is parked out in front of it. 🤔
Get the drone in the air? 🤦♂️ uh Gly we can hear it inside old Bob 😳🤷♂️
@@MattyEngland 👍😂🤣 way to ruin a good ribbing 🤪😆✌️
Ah man 🤦♂️ anyone / Gly? Sees MattyEngland tell em I apologize , wasn’t trying to bash em, just keeping the banter going 🤷♂️ they didn’t have to delete their comment it was a good comment I’m sure others would find it useful knowledge 👍 Matty you see this I’m sorry 😞
SNAKES O.K.
I hope you wear Rattlesnake Gators while walking around, believe me they do work.
