- In this video I continue my descent down the Jefferson Chimney here at Cerro Gordo. The adventure took hundreds of feet of rope and multiple days. It didn't go exactly as I hoped, but in the end, I found something I've been looking for for a very long time!
Thank you all so much for the support over the past 18 months. If you haven't already, I hope you'll subscribe to the channel. Lots more mine explorations, building renovations, and historical walks in the near future!

Love your videos Brent always looking forward to the next! Your an amazing guy! Very inspirational and brave! I’ve been hooked for a while now! Please keep them coming! ❤️
It's so great to watch one of your videos with your "sparkle" back. Keep exploring! I hope one day to bring my kid's.
That’s awesome congrats and well done thanks for sharing the journey for future generations👍🏾
We love you brother! You are a true inspiration to all and your mission is extremely inspiring. Your vision is coming true and it will be a joy for all of those that can come and visit for many decades to come. Not to mention the priceless videos you put out each week for us. Thank you.🙏🌎☮️♾️💖👖😁👍🤳
can't you go down the Jefferson chimney to the 95 and then repel down the cage shaft ? so you down need to bother all those guys.
I SPEAK FOR MANY: deeply emotionally invested.....I hope you end up on the historic registry and keep the area protected!
Amen, and So mote it be.
Seems to be a logical conclusion. Let's just hope!
*Did Jefferson Dike originally connect above the ~725ft level at the Belshaw shaft If so, any idea when that fault line shifted?*
Hear Hear!!!!
Couldn’t have said it better myself
As a former long hole blaster in the Sullivan Mine in Kimberly B.C. 1979 to 1987. I can confirm that moisture is indeed the #1 enemy of Nitro Glycerin Based explosives. I almost crapped myself when Tim shook out the bag of sticks BEFORE mentioning how moist it was there. Love your channel Brent.
Great name of the mine haha
i'm a nervous wreck
Few of my uncles worked in that mine and still live in the Kimberly area the last name hunt ring a bell ?
@swifthartless bet he knew em. Alot of times crew aren't huge and names become known..hope ypunlearned I havnt seen .that'd be cool tho
I have to say, my one recurring concern when you make vids going into the mines is that you don't seem to use respirators. Given the lead content of much of the surrounding minerals and dust, I think it would go a long way towards protecting yourself and your team.
This. Also silicosis, it's killed plenty of miners.
They're not worried. Unstable dynamite will kill them first 😉
He does sound like he's lost his voice in this vid
that and radon
I consistently see comments like this. pls be safe
Best compliment ever. “When I met you, you were afraid of a 20ft ladder” as you’re on the side of a 100 foot drop. That’s growth right there and I love seeing it!!
The guy sounds like an Aussie - he's talking in feet here, but we'd call that a 5 metre ladder :)
Maybe Aussie, more likely Kiwi... If that's the case, he'll be a good drinking buddy
@@EFIMira To be fair, Cerro Gordo is in the US, but still, I get your point!
15:07
Lol typical Aussie just emptying out the bag of 100 year old dynamite
"You want the bag, mate, yeah?"
thats a meme about to be born.
Quality meme this man was breathing hard as fuck in fear
Ikr?!? Or a Darwin Award waiting to happen, lol
Hey Brent, the oil on the gear is most likely whale oil. That’s why it still looks like it was put on yesterday. I’ve seen this before on tours of old machinery and the tour guide would talk about how whale oil does not collect much dust over time.
Thanks I'm gonna do some research on this now. Yeah Learning. The best oil for ballbearing and such in sewing machine oil.
Awesome insight!!!
Gerbil/buzzy/boy...what the fuck is going in here?!
I got super drunk and Piss/shitted me self.
Kept the Levy' ,shirt,one sock(black) in a plastic bag.in the shed.
Any offer above 24.00 USD...
No shipping NOT HANDLING...
Whale oil beef hooked! 😂
@@gonorrheadischarges3021 27usd shipped

"Well, that happened, and we didn't die." That feels like the tagline of my life. I am pretty bummed that I didn't a cool leather bag each time. Lol Awesome finds!!
That “This way out,” sign will make a great Cerro Gordo T-Shirt!
thats actually a really good idea
Yessssss!!!! Such a good idea 👍🏻
Up
Upvote this so he sees the comment!
That would make a great T-shirt.
You guys are brave mf’ers for going down these incredibly dangerous mines but I’m glad there are people out there who’ll do it because the history of the mines and the miners who worked in them need to be recorded and preserved
Well said..I agree..the way the world is now when people hate so called manly things..they forget things like this suffer
.not many house building carpenter miners electricians and other trades that are hard work and require a good brain..respectable stuff
And sorry to comment so late I see it was a year ago.so.dnt worry you dnt have to go back jst to comment..jst liked your comment was well said
@@joshuataft5541 All good my man I'm glad there's people out there who agree with me. Plus I'm a huge history buff and love all things Americana
Old Dynamite in a bag: Very sensitive, could explode by looking at it wrong
Tim: Nice bag! YEET
My heart skipped a beat at that part :D In any case, so happy you finally found that pair of Levi's, this has been a major goal since the start of your channel and it's awesome that it actually happened!
Loved Brent's response: "So that happened"
I literally gasped when I saw dynamite in that bag. Even more so when it got dumped from the bag to the ground. Congrats on the bag.
I was waiting for him to get a little ‘Arzt’ on him
@@apoisonberry That was exactly my thought xD (Lost Series)
Me and Tim would have had words......
Living my dream! Lived in 29 Palm's for a while. Found such peace going off track and discovering lost mines. Found a one the local Rangers didn't even know about! I never went down any of them, I never had the experience or equipment
It would be really cool if you got a lidar system that you bring with you into the mines, to map in them out with amazing accuracy. But I don't know if you could afford one. But I would be super cool to see a 3d rendered map of the mines, made by the frequent trips you make into the mine, it also give you a accurate depth of mine.
A Ligma system would be better
@@kermitkid1 Whats a ligma system??? 🤔🤔
@@Storehouse-805 oh man. cole is tricking you.
@@Storehouse-805 LIGMA balls
@Rob Mikels Ligma balls
Brent: "How are we going to get across this 12 foot chasm with a drop that leads to certain death?"
Tim: "We have rusted steel beams that haven't been stress tested in over 100 years."
Brent: 👁👄👁 "You know what, it wouldn't hurt to try."
"Maybe we'll find some dynamite!"
To be fair, it would probably only hurt once.
Yeh that was the scariest part for me to watch. But it was worth it in the end because he found the Levi's
@@69mag yeh they sure did. But did not explode. Which is good. Thank God!!!
@@varjen018 The fall doesn't hurt, it's the sudden stop.
Wow, what you do is just awesome for all of our history !! You took on an entire town and mine...its just mind blowing !! Thank You for sharing everything you are doing....there should be an award for this..
“It’s not what you find, it’s what you find out”- couldn’t have said it better myself. Congratulations, so happy for you 🙌❤️
"Old dynamite is very sensitive a step 20 ft away could set it off"
Tim: you want the bag? *dump*
Me: 👁👄👁
Also me to myself: He posted the video he's still alive
He ends with: "I will see you next week" - no video this week 😬
If it had blown thats where they would be staying it be goodnite lrene..
This time he got away but next time we could easily watch a news about how two people died in an old mine!! The bag didn't worth the risk for sure...
Yeah. If they keep doing stuff like that one day we might end up waiting for an upload that wont happen though
This is why i will not be surprised if this channel stops posting.
Watching all the way from Sydney, Australia - So good to be taken on this journey so far away.
“How does it look down there?”
“Pretty terrifying”
“Cool”
Love you guys, keep explorin!
You can hear the laughter all through that scene.
It is remarkable how much you have evolved as an explorer & how much your comfort level has increased down the shaft. That shimmy across the old oar cart rail was nuts!!
Thanks! I've definitely become more comfortable with the ropes and such. To think 18 months ago I was terrified by heights...
@@GhostTownLiving
👖 Congratulations!
I’m A Twenty Year Climber, Canyon Explorer. It’s Nice To See Your Rope And Heights And Skills Coming Along!
Keep The Wind In Your Sails!
🌬💨🎏
Agreed!! That was exciting to watch!
@@GhostTownLiving the only roping I ever did was in the military and it wasn't underground. It WAS from chopper skids though and I wasn't always hooked to the rope. We did what was called fast roping.
@@GhostTownLiving I thought the 35’ ladder at our burn building was terrifying at first. Your explorations put that in a whole new perspective. All the loose rock etc, wow! Excited for the day you find an intact pair too!
Man while myself am absolutely terrified I'm also astonished by your bravery, descending into a pit black hole abandoned for decades? Seems like going straight to hell's entrance! Maybe it's just too much horror movies, but if my brain decide to pick a prank on me making me imagine 2 glowing eyes in the shadow, I'm dead by heart attack.
Bomb squad :"the dynamite can be so sensitive, that you can walking 5m away to explode it"
Tim : throw dynamite " Want the bag?"
“Well, that just happened “ Lol
Yeah that was absolutely obnoxious.. he arbitrarily took it upon himself to do that without getting the say so from Brent.. ridiculous.. risk your own life maybe.. not someone else's .
@Iron *Fe* What? how is that when he just dumps the bag in front of Brent and Brent is hesitant.. I mean come on now..
@@icantthinkofaname5986 or it was edited to look this way. Obviously Tim is trusted, otherwise he wouldn’t be down there. He clearly does know what he is doing
@@EFIMira hi Tim 👋
I’ve realised the reason why I love your channel so much. Its not just because it fascinates me but also because you seem like such a good human. I was genuinely so thrilled for your Levi’s find and that genuine joy and happiness I felt for you is a rarity on UA-cam. Congratulations on your find and keep up your amazing, fascinating work. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Congratulations! So exciting to see you find what you were looking for. You've got to find that complete pair sooner or later. Glad you snagged that sign. Now you need to find somewhere quirky to put it like pointing down the hole of an outhouse.😁🤪
WE FINALLY GOT SOME LEVI’S!! This is momentous for someone who has watched the channel from the very start!
Right?! I saw the video title and cheered out loud 😂
Thats amazing. As an archaeologist I can really relate with the experience of discovering relics of the past. I am really happy that u finnaly found the treasure you were searching for. Keep up the good work Brent.
I’ve been waiting for the Levi’s since the beginning of this channel, congratulations!!! Persistence, drive, and determination. Anything is possible Brent☺️!
Imagine digitalizing the whole mine and setting it up for everybody being able to explore it in a Virtual Reality headset
Thats goals right there! I definitely pay to have a vr copy and explore!
liked! Brent, make this happen omg!!!
🤩
That would be amazing!! The tech certainly exists.
Tottaly doable
I loved it when he just picked the bag up and emptied it and just said well… do you want it or not hahaha not one f was given haha and then Brent said well that happened. I had to watch that clip a few times it made me laugh
Brent's a kind guy, anyone else would have told him off.
Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more
Brent I can tell your emotional side pops out..i cried feeling your excitement finding those levis. Even though they aren't in perfect shape, it's the excitement you found levis!! Still more to explore and the explore to more exciting areas and great finds! Levis in that mine, Brent is coming for ya!! Stay safe!
Calling that one board a “platform” was pretty generous.
Lol, right!
Brent, what you are doing preserving and exploring, is awesome. I would totally love to offer a hand someday. I love historic places and your town there is definitely one of the things I must do in my lifetime. I'm really looking forward to hopefully someday exploring the mines like you are here. keep up the great work.
ok am I mistaken or when you find the treasure chest of carbide and dynamite on the 400 level, youstep over to look deeper, do you step down on a stick of dynamite? like right after you explained how dangerous old dynamite is leaving the 500 level.
I'm so glad you're not going alone as you explore these mines.
Levi's should sponsor you as much advertisement you give them.Myself,I can't afford Levi's.
They are 19.99 a pair at Walmart and many other places.
@@Kiev-in-3-days Because you have to state if you are sponsored by a company.
@@Kiev-in-3-days True, but considering how he barely has any adverts on his videos (which is daft as it's a form of income), I think he's genuine.
So awesome you found some illusive Levi's.. It almost made me cry hearing the excitement in your voice and the look on your face.. Love your videos and the music is so appropriate.. Stay safe and God bless. ❤❤🙏🙏
Brent has a heart of gold such a friendly chap love his engry.
So to
i love his engry too
I noticed there's a quantity of thumbs down for this video. What kind of person doesn't like this adventure?!?!? And if they don't like this content, why watch? Brent's adventures and enthusiasm for what he's doing is inspiring. No I'm not gonna buy an old mine and preserve history...however, I have pressed forward with some things in my life because I caught the energy from Brent to move forward fearlessly and learn along the way. 👍👍👍👍
As I recall: Levi noticed how ragged an tattered miners pants were, and use discarded sales from the clipper ships from the Barbary (the San Francisco dockfront), made out of hemp, and very strong, and started to making pants from them. Very cool Brent, glad you found a pair 😁
Brent, use some of the mine art/graffiti you find for merch designs. Just saying.
Thats an interesting idea! 🤔
Brilliant idea!
Good Idea!
Dude you need to be on his marketing team 🙌🏻😎
Hell yeah man thats dope. And it pays rememberance to the old miners i love it
I feel with every video, the excitement of exploration just builds. And it feels like we're exploring with you! History revealed before our eyes. Love the quote "It's not what you find, it's what you find out." Congrats on the Levi's!!!
3:51 this felt like a fast travel feature from a video game. Really fun.
that moment with the leather bag had my jaw on the ground, tim is a wild man
Yeah, the thing with sweaty dynamite is that it's highly unpredictable though. It worked out this time to just empty it on the ground. It might work 10 times more. But that one time that it lands just wrong and it explodes, it will kill you...
Yeah that was insane! I was shocked.
@@Knasen3 This was a rare find, they are not gonna do this to every bag of dynamite, even if they find it, and even if its moist to the point where its not dangerous.
@@MattsAwesomeStuff
Except it was not in any danger of exploding b'cos it was so wet !!!!!!
You really should listen to ALL the info instead of running off with just one piece !!!
@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 I don't think you have any idea how sweaty dynamite works... Listen to 20:17 into the video again and you'll realize what the "wet" thing is and it's not water, it's nitroglycerin sweating out from the dynanite. The "wetter" it is, the more dangerous it is. This was in no way safe.
Nearly had a heart attack when he dropped the dynamite on the ground.
It’s been like 2 minutes and my jaw still hasn’t closed
Same
@@GhostTownLiving another merch idea, candles made to look like dynamite sticks
Um, yeah. I expected Boom!
@@NitrousDiecast I’d buy one. 😃
The enthusiasm you have for this really shines through into everything you do at Cerro Gordo!
I'm gonna shimmy across this 20 for wide pit.
me: bruh
I'm gonna dump this bag of dynamite on the ground.
me: bruh!
Finally brent you got those levi jeans im so excited for you this is a fantastic history lesson keep doing what your doing its great content
Congratulations, been watching you search all pandemic. You really earned it. Thanks for taking us on the adventure.
28:22
“It makes me excited for the future..”
Something poetic about being excited for the future by finding the past in the present
Very nicely put
Congrats on finding the Levis!
I’d so love to see them spread out, but won’t they be more brittle when dry?
Are there any experts on denim preservation monitoring this channel that may have some useful advice?
That’s what I thought, too. He needs a book on amateur archaeologists techniques for saving artifacts.
Snap!
Maybe people will finally give up on the mentioning the pairs that are on the bodies of the deceased miners trapped down there somewhere. Obviously wouldn't be worth millions.
I know the feeling of what i call the historical touch! You are suddenly connect to the whole universe, with so many intense feelings. I even cried at some times, on really old celtic sites etc... It's something so big and rich... Thanks to show us all of this! ( Really appreciate it since i'm living in Quebec, it make me see some places than otherwise, i would even never heard off).
Brent is the coolest person to explore these old abandoned mines he’s like the person that will do crazy things to find even crazier things 🤙🏽
I was so stoked and on board with the levi Jeans! You finding your white whale gave me stars in my eyes Brent!
That’s amazing! What a find! I understand that feeling…as a collector of things. I wonder who and why they took their jeans off in a mine.
Right?? I mean i guess i *could* see discarding pants after an unpleasant bathroom mishap but why on earth would they leave them there *forever*?? 🤔
Exploring an old mine with an Australian, you'll no doubt hear him often say, "she'll be right mate", just as he drops old sticks of dynamite on the ground.
LOL
Hi Brent I would love to congratulate on your chanel I have been a subscriber to this from the start and have just been watching this from the start again and it's fantastic all the best from the UK
Regards Paul
wow so happy you found a pair of levis jean, looking forward to more of your exploring in the 400 level
The old saying "Yesterday was history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that's why it's called present" makes so much sense now !
Love that saying, Vlad. Thank You! : )
Oogway
Sorry but I gotta be that guy, Mystery*
@@hgfv1997 no worries mate, english is not my native language so I might make some mistakes 😁
The old names! Omg please show more of them!! I don’t know why I am so intrigued by them, but they seemed so unusual! So cool that writing our names on public spaces/things has really lasted the test of time.
At least since Roman times, probably earlier.
It would be cool if he take the names & wright them on new houses & buildings in the town that don't already have a history or family name attached .. most of their homes were burned down or lost to the elements over the years ... There was one video where Brent built a road some of the buildings were once stone structures there are dwellings in some of the caves that's probably where these people & their families all lived
I also like seeing the names
Are you never afraid when descending into the deep dark depths of the mine. Its really nice to sit all the way in india and still feel like I am descending there with you. Thanks a lot for this amazing content.
YES! Archaeology gets a rep for being treasure hunting, but it is ALWAYS what objects can tell you about ancient people that is the most important thing about the things that are found! (I am studying archaeology and there are so many memes about this)
JEEEEAAANNSSS! I've been waiting over a year for this! Brent, I know you've been waiting a lot longer! Great find and can't wait to see more of the 400 level. Congrats, Sir! Next; A full pair (or 501 :) )
This is by far my favorite channel! Thanks for the content!
G'day mate, when ever we get out of lockdown in Australia, my plan is to visit the USA, and l would love to visit you whole town, l live in a Gold mining town called Bendigo and it's still mining Gold since 1851 and going strong, love what your trying to achieve, all the best, cheers, Neil.
Hi fellow Bendigodian!
I live in Melbourne, is there anything to explore in Bendigo like in cerro gordo? Or is everything closed off and shutdown
@@kayboku7281 I'm in Melbourne too. I visited the Central Deborah Gold mine in Bendigo a few years ago and they do great underground tours.
There's a lot of gold mining sites north of Walhalla (east of Melbourne) in the Aberfeldy area.
@@kayboku7281 hi Mate, Bendigo has underground tours of a working gold mine right in town and the city is surrounded with old gold workings and historical sites, to the north their is a working gold mine that has tours, best if visiting, call into the tourist information Centre in a large historical building right in the middle of town, hope you can come here soon, cheers, Neil.
@@norsehall309 its funny ive lived in Australia 40 years and never once have i ever thought of going into a mine as a fun exploration thing to do! Until I watched this channel! The thought of going into a mine before this seemed like something to avoid! (unless your getting paid big $$$). Hey theres a point Brent, if Cerro Gordo does fall over, come work in Australia in the mines and you will be paid big $$$$$
Better than anything on Netflix. Seriously, Brent - excellent content as usual.
I agree! He absolutely fascinates me!!!
I'm just SO HAPPY for you!!!! Makes my heart smile to see you so excited!! 🌹
It hasnt even started yet and Ive already liked it! Brent is the man and always putting out prime content!
I dittod this action!!!!!!!!! And the thought behind it!!!
B really is amazing
same
Know that a lot of us will revel in this moment just as much as you are! This is an amazing find. So happy to finally see you find the coveted Levi’s Brent!
Truely amazing. I love what you are doing. Keep smile. Giant hugs. Sending love to everyone. Would absolutely love to come explore. One day. Stay safe
Give our regards to those willing to run the hoist for you: They've enabled a good video.
Incredible video!!
THANKYOU

Hi Mr Brent sir I was wondering if you will be posting a new video
I didn't see one over the weekend I believe you post on Saturdays or Sundays I was looking forward to watching over this week
Excite! Brent i just flew back to San Diego today from visiting with my family. I couldnt help to think about Cerro Gordo as I passed over the mountains! Stay blessed
I wish I wasable to be there with you to help you as much as I can, but unfortunately I am far, far away, in a place where I'm stuck in, craving for an adventure like this one! Something that would make feel alive again!
Enjoy every minute of it!
Now is the most precious time when you're exploring and finding new treasures, not when it's done!
Right now is the best time you'll ever have, enjoy it to the fullest and thank you so much for sharing ❤
Day dreaming...😢
Thanks!
"To think when I met you, you were afraid of a 20ft ladder" British humor...😀😁😂
Hey 20ft ladders hurt, when they fall and hit you. 🤪🤣🤣
I have already promised myself that one day I will come to Cerro Gordo all the way from Australia! Its so wonderful to see these videos each week and to be able to see it in person would be a dream come true. Amazing work Brent!
I’m also Aussie and I’m exactly the same. Definitely want to visit Cerro Gordo one day, I love mining history.
Same story here!
Me and partner are Aussie, it's a legit goal of ours to visit one day as well.
@@Thanos69420 me too.🦘 Perth.
Next time a small partial piece of Levis is found, soak it in water and see if it can be laid out flat/flatter, and see if it dries flat.
I'm sure condition of the cotton and fiber rot, will make a huge difference for it to work. Some pieces may look better dried flat than dried crumbled up.
I think it was a good idea to leave the ones you found in the original condition as-is, to be safe.
Love watching the mine adventures! How do you keep from getting lost down there? Do you mark your way in the tunnels or on the map? I’ve only ever been to a couple tourist caves as a kid and got really claustrophobic so watching these are really fun without the anxiety, thank you! Very excited for you you found some Levi’s!
Id like to know that as well, seeing the 'This Way OUT' sign is no longer there now???
I wanna see more of tim. IDC who he is or where he's from, he's entertaining and DO NOT give a shit.
I am totally into you restoring this town, love your adventures. good luck.
Tims like "ah yes this old bag of dynamite, let me shake the sticks out. Hey you want this cool bag??????"
mad lad
I realized something today... out of everything I've watched on UA-cam in the past 2 years, this is my favorite channel on the platform. Thank you for what you do and keep up the amazing work to you and your team of friends.
this is the coolest long format youtube channel ive ever found.. please do not stop!
I was up at cerro gordo last week. Cane by for a visit again. They need volunteers. I never realized this by watching all the videos I thought there was plenty of hands up there but it was empty. Keep up the great work up there.
Thats cool as shit bro!
I went last week and had to leave a day later due to elevation sickness. It's at 8k feet, beautiful scenery.. I wanted to stay for 3 days. Johnny and Scottie are cool dudes.
Eureka! There's Levi's in them there mountains! Congrats Brent! You deserve this more than anyone!!
You are one special guy with the rich voice of a narrator who can spark exciting interest in: compelling history, man's ingenuity, the gloriously awesome vistas surrounding a ghost town; a special guy who can energize an audience to explore the world around them, to get excited about the beauty of this earth! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for sharing yourself, your time, your dreams, and your exciting ghost town. No one could deserve to be a caretaker of such a wonderful place as your little town!
BTW, you need a small helicopter, not a drone! And most of all, this UA-cam series needs to be a TV SERIES as it makes the Oak Island tv series BORING in comparison!
I wish you more dreams come true, several pairs of levi's in pristine condition, and lots of donations to keep this wonderful adventure alive for us all. God bless you, Brent!
Beautiful finding. I'm amazed of your sense of orientation in the mine.
Damn near jumped out of my skin reading the title!!! Wooo hooo!!!! Feel like we have all been on the Levi's treasure hunt with you since the beginning 💜🖤
I enjoyed the Museum today! Thank you!
Tim! I found Levi Jeans!
Tim:👣👣👣👣
I had been so so sad since you shared with us what the mining development companies were proposing.. the idea of losing all this history, forever, but your determination at every turn of this video is just a testament to who you are and what can be achieved with that. I love your outlook on the world, and this project of yours has come so far, for the past year, my partner and I have fallen in love with your spot on Earth and can't wait to visit one day from Australia :D
Thank you for sharing the past and present of cerro gordo... Please continue to update us on your journey and let us get merch when you can because we are interested!!! ❤❤😻😻 hope the animals are all well xxx
Oh my god this is freaky! I would never do this in person, thanks for putting this out there for all of us who arent so brave haha. This is absolutely mesmerizing, I love watching stuff that makes my palms sweat
They may not be perfect, but the good lord finally answered this mans prayers and gave him some miners jeans. There was a comment about this on the gold play button video at 900 level, and I'm so glad this man finally got his Levi's lol awesome video as usual, Brent
Next up, a perfect pair haha!
@@GhostTownLiving absolutely, brother! I feel like some of the areas furthest from the shaft could have interesting finds. I could be wrong, but nonetheless its still so cool seeing these mines, and knowing that's the first time in decades someone's stepped foot in there.
Also, have you ever been worried about the air quality and oxygen down in some of the harder to access spots? I've always heard stories of "dead air" pockets in mines but I've never gotten the chance to ask a miner how it really is.
@@GhostTownLiving 1.21M subscribers are cheering for you Brent. Congratulations, Sir.
The 400 level of this silver mine is shaping up to be a gold mine!!!!
That hoisting engine on the 400 level is honestly so exciting! I work on antique steam engines, so honestly I'd love the challenge of trying to get it working, somehow.
Don't forget to repair the ladders and I hope there's a safe way of cleaning up the mine so it's safer down there for you
Awesome. Keep up the good work. Your ghost town is on my bucket list, from an Englishman living in India x
The universe knew you needed some cheering up and gave you your long awaited Levi jeans
Yay chem lights for drop distance!
Those Levi’s jeans were a signpost from the Universe and the spirits of Cerro Gordo. They want you to keep fighting for the town and its awesome history. They gave you a big thumbs up to keep you going! They are behind you all the way, and they applaud you. Call me silly or superstitious, but that’s how I see things. There IS a Bigger Picture.
crazy magic weirdo
I totally agree💖 you aren't silly at all. Everything happens for a reason.
Your right u are crazy but that what makes u so unique and wonderful. I don’t care what u believe in because I can tell u have good attentions in life.
