Abandoned Arizona Mine Explored - Bradshaw Mountains
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 бер 2019
- We discovered an old abandoned mine while on an expedition through the Bradshaw Mountains so we checked it out. It is a pretty extensive mine with lots of cool wooden structures, ore shoots, flooded mines, ore cart rail tracks, mill site, and core samples.

Wow the most EXTREME mine exploration video I have ever seen. You guys have balls.
Greg, glad you enjoyed the video. Stayed tuned to the channel as there will be more mine exploring videos coming soon.
I seriously cant ever see too many mine videos, and this one was really awesome! Thx for sharing it! I really enjoyed this one!
Thanks so much for checking out my video and leaving a comment. I look forward to creating more mine exploring videos as many of my adventure camping trips involve old mining areas.
That mine is called the swastika mine and was primarily a gold mine. I've been inside it lots of times and seen lots you guys missed. The flooded tunnel you didn't go in is not that deep or bad as it looks. If you go straight back, just past the flooded vertical tunnel on left you'll see a ladder going up on your right. If you climb up to next level you'll see the most amazing stoped out area, huge resevors of water and awesome mineral formations. The Desoto mine turn off at about mileage marker 14 has even more amazing n colorful mineral formations if you can find the right adit thats hidden by larger tree and dirt mound almost covering the entrance. Check out our short vids on my channel js. 👊 n 👍 for your vid. Subbed ya too...
New river is a nice home base to explore the Bradshaw's from
@@jnolette1030 yes it sure is. But there are a lot of other cool places like mines and ruins in the canyons east of I-17 off of bloody basin road too. I've been exploring all over Az for 45 or more yrs and have seen lots of other places. Sucks I've only been doing vids a yr, but have many photos. I take it you like the outdoors as well 😀👍
Awesome video! I love stuff like this. Also, thanks for not putting a whole lot of music over this. The extreme quietness adds to the unsettling creepiness factor.
Wow! That was cool! Thanks
Looks like somebody's party spot with the chairs and the beer bottle!!!
Great mine & you had great light. Thank you
Ginger Bread, thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video. Stayed tuned for a return video since we later found out there is more to discover.
Totally impressive...
It’s official name is the Swastika Mine (yes this mine was started in the 1800s before Germany made it a symbol of hate during the 1900s) it was originally a symbol of peace and prosperity. It’s an interesting place to explore but parts are flooded during certain times of the year and if you don’t have the proper equipment you can suffocate so be safe and have fun exploring
There is so much to see in this video it's quite a marvel to see! This place looks like a maze, I'd be afraid to get lost... Great job navigating this and thanks for showing us what you found! Great work!
Thanks for the kind words, it was really fun to check out but always a little scary too.
That was awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for your great comment.
Amazing video, thanks for sharing, you guys are very brave going in there👍
I really appreciate the feedback. It is spooky going in those mines but something is so alluring about it too.
Wow, coolest mine I've seen so far, pretty sketchy too but who doesn't love a little risk
I'll say one thing those miners really knew how to build ladders!!!
I've seen ladders in mines from the early 1800s that were in great shape!!!
Awesome! But show us some close ups of the ore/wall rock next time!
I will keep an eye out. Thank you for writing me.
Nice videos. Off-roadin an mine explorin, perfect! Always use the right hand or left hand rule when explorin a mine. You won't get lost that way. Watch those false floors too. You were on one or damn close when you found that winze in the middle of the floor. My in-laws live in surprise Arizona now. I can't wait to get the yota out there an explore. Yall be safe out there
Lee Hilton, thanks so much for the watching. Glad you enjoy our videos and thanks for the safety input. Maybe we will see you out there.
Can you imagine all the time and effort to erected all the wood structures and supports? Where did all the wood come from?
The one that says bad air does not have bad air there is a really cool hoist room in the back
It just freaks me out how much wood is in all these mines! With the price of lumber now you could get very rich!!!
I live nearby and would love go on an adventure like that
hey ryan its alden nice job like the channel ;)
As always, great job. When I was there I wanted to do the flooded one too. I did not find Adit 2 though, so I guess I have to go back now!
Let me know when you want to go and maybe we can go together. Thanks for watching and the kind words.
Where is this at, I would like to explore.
@@livndalifewstrykerandbravo1575 It is in the area of Crown King. This is the link to my Video, which I hope gives better directions to where this is. You need 4x4, quad or something high clearance to get back there now. ua-cam.com/video/AZbmhBPaSSQ/v-deo.html
@@retiredrenegadeadventures6911 awesome thank you.
I literally drive by here once a month. Crazy freaky and interesting. Does anyone know the history of the mine?
Looks like in that mine you could be walking on a false floor and never know it!!! Definitely a dangerous place!!!
Man I'm surprised that you don't get lost or worse! You don't go by the right hand rule or nothing!!!
Also those false floors are death traps!!!
How much elevation between adit 1,and adit ,I'm sure that's how far the ore chute went down thanks for the great explore like always!😊
Didn't take too much to find it. By chance do you have an interior map of it? It would really help us if you did :)
this was a PREQUEL to HILLS HAVE EYES 8...…......the beginning
Great video, but I think that you guys should get yourselves some better lighting.
Expedition Offroad, so my buddies wanna start exploring mines in the Arizona area so I was wondering if maybe you could give us some ideas on what mines are still open
Hey Stephen, thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video. I dont really have any recommendations for you and I do not recommend you go into mines. Stay out and stay alive is the saying and can be very true. Be safe and have fun exploring.
Do y’all have the right equipment?
Did you go past the Bad Air posting? Is there plenty to see before that sign?
We did not go into the adit with the bad air sign, however we went into the adits above that one and it is really cool to check out.
coordinates?
This looks like The Stoddard Mine
Awsome video! By any chance would you be willing to give directions to this location?
Sorry Oscar, we cant give out the location of this mine. Stay out and stay alive.
Mileage marker 19 on bumble bee road. Turn right and cross the dry creek. A couple more miles or so n ur there. 4x4 or quad only tho...
Have longitude latitude? Would like to visit this for my next mine
I found it do you have a facebook account?
@@h-guns3336 where did you find it was there a website or have you been yourself. I would love to check out this mine
@@spencerroberts3598 I have been there but, ill have to find it again. When I do ill post it.
Are there any videos where the producer is on a hunt for minerals ? Seems all these vids are geared toward finding the end of the mine and movin on ?! I prospect. You guys could spend a little more time on the mine specifics . Thanks for what you are doing... it is more than me , and I whine ...hahahaha. OOOps
This mine is called Swastika mine.
There are actually two different mines there the silver prince and the black warrior
I'm guessing you've not done much mine exploration. My guess also is you won't do many more . Your lighting is great but the way you maneuver is quite dangerous to your future among the living.
A big fat NOPE
hey Guys if your going to explore, please be educated on proper terminology and safe practices and know the workings of a mine so the people who are knowledgeable and those that aren't know that you know what you are doing in a mine. I have 30 years exploring mines. So when narrarating provide accurate information. Have fun and be safe.
