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...

March 1910 Elizabeth Mcd.Watson and Laura M. Peterson opened the Nevada City Sanitarium on Coyote Street on the banks of Manzanita Creek. it operated until 1946 when it became a rest home until 1953. it was the second privately owned hospital in Nevada County, first was The W.C Jones Memorial Hispital in Grass Valley opened 1907. the first news papers likely from around 1937(possibly 1933 when the court packing was first talked about with FDR) but '37 was when he made the big push for it after his re-election and the New Deal.
“Gly”: Very nice! Thanks for doing the research! 👍👍
Thank you for researching this and sharing this with us!
Awesome research and info, thanks for doing that for us!!
Thank you for that research. (from one of Gly's ardent fans.)
Thank you for taking the time to do the research! Does that mean that area was prospective then by other miners? I that Gly said 1925 or so. I Ed hearing about the hospital, too bc I'm an old nurse who feels like that the time she should've been living and being a nurse!
😂
Great video. The litterbugs have no boundaries. Thank you for the fantastic video, full of information.
I can’t imagine hearing a low, long rumble from the path traversed ten minutes previously.
@1:03:00 Sounds like a mouse is having an asthma attack!!! Love your videos.
"And beers..... without the blue labels." LOLOLOL!!!! Dig it.
Elizabeth McDonald Watson founded the sanitarium in 1910 and it was converted to an old folks home in 1946. However, the article may be from April 1951 when the Nevada county historical society paid tribute to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth McDonald Watson was born near Aberdeen, Scotland in 1867. She had a limited grammar school education and brief attendance at nursing school was halted at age 18, when family illness required her to return home. At age 32, in 1896, she immigrated to the United States landing in Detroit to be near a brother who was terminally ill. After his death she went to the Lemhi Indian Agency in Idaho and taught cooking and home care to the children. It was here that she heard of Nevada City and decided to go to the Gold Country, arriving in 1900. Her skills were immediately in demand as she worked at various tenures. While at Lemhi, Watson had continued her nursing studies and "read medicine" with a local physician. At Nevada City, she continued her studies by correspondence course and in 1905, received her nursing diploma from the Chautauqua School in New York. www.mcguiresplace.net/Old%20Time%20Stories-Watsons%20Nevada%20City%20Sanitarium/
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, down the Colonoscopy Mine we go 😂
Thank you for the longer video. We know how much work it takes to make these videos and I for one really appreciate the work you do.
This particular mine was amazing and so well preserved, especially in a seismically active area.
Whew !! That Chute introduced claustrophobic sensations involuntarily.... 🖐 ha😂ha 👍
Thanx4sharing video, CU next episode.
37:45 - Yes. You got me! My mouth was open and everything!
Claustrophobia and colonoscopys say that three times fast. Thanks for the wild ride and as always stay safe✌️
Looks like you went into "Green Hornet" mode to get back to the portal.
“Gly”: Haha! Yep!
Liked the Bud Light pun 😅
“Gly”: As a former business owner I’m amazed how one marketing persons decision can cost a company billions. Imagine having that on your résumé.
Clean Energy right now is Nuclear power steam turbine Generators. But after 10yrs or more the reactor cores after cooldown need to be stored for 90yrs. An old deep water free mine would be a good place and seal all tunnels with Roman concrete
Pabst blue ribbon ! That’s a blue label isn’t it? 😝 that one’s shame free to drink 👍😂
That’s the first bat I have seen on your videos!
Bloody hell Gly, you really scare me at times
Which part? He kinda took scary risks several times in this episode! I'm sure we would all be sad if any harm came to Gly.😢😢😢😢
@@danielcarter305 Well its funny I got disoriented watching and I felt like he was descending into a hole and I started panicking lol. Yes, I'd be devastated if Gly came to any harm but I know he knows what he is doing. Its just I'm terribly claustrophobic and I have panic attacks whilst watching haha. Its like a white knuckle ride for me I swear. Cheers Daniel
Hi there Gly! When you started reading about the Sanitarium in Nevada City I had to pause this video and go see what I could find. It's been abandoned for awhile and closed in 1975. About 1971 there was a couple of murders there. But if you want to know more just Google it. It once was the pride of Nevada City. It's quite sad and depressing now though. 😮
Do you plan to come back to this mine and rope down the incline shaft to see where that ends up? Maybe there is more "toilet paper" in there? 😂😅
“Gly”: Yes, I have plans to come back to this mine and finish exploring those areas. 👍
As always, enjoyed the tag along. Looks like YT doesn't let me post the URL to the article so here's a snippet. "Elizabeth McDonald Watson was born near Aberdeen, Scotland in 1867. She had a limited grammar school education and brief attendance at nursing school was halted at age 18, when family illness required her to return home.

Awesome , awesome video , mine and yea you are right Gly the colonoscopy mine ! 😂 yea there were a few places were not good and nerve racking for me ! 😂 keep up the great videos and you singing ! 👍🏻🙂
I have one of those old construction lamps that uses thoese 12v batteries even though they are now antiquated, I still think there cool.
You should sing "Diggy, Diggy Hole" while getting your Dwarf on....
It's either The Colonoscopy Mine or the Wardrobe Malfunction Mine!
WOW you need a cut lunch to go down that tunnel.....when you got to the end and went past that split bent beam, i was saying no he wont, no he wont, ...but yep he did, struth that seemed very iffy......another great video gly, TY
Wow, Gly this mine is the first maze you've been in for a while! 2% to 3% grade makes it just acquitted for draining.
What an awesome woman, with courage and perseverance she obtained her diploma after a lifetime of practical experience! We need more like her today!
???
Was talking about EliAbeth McD Watson . I clarified it and. Had some other comments but for some reason it got blocked. It wasn't inappropriate.
@@kathylammers8360 Check. Inappropriate has a whole new definition today.
So.. that is what footage from the pack rat cam sounds and feels like. Scurrying down the tunnel lol.
“Gly”: Haha! Yep!
👍🇺🇲🤳❤️
You never know what you'll be able to share with all of us, Couch Potatoes, until, or unless you, Huff and Puff yourself, thru the tunnels, to the end. But, no matter what you discover, it's always intriguing and entertaining.
Thanks, Gly Cool. 😊
Great mine explore, Gly. The mine is so long, you would think they would run a bus service. :D
Got far enough up that mine to see tonsils. Good to be underground again, thanks Gly!
“Gly”: Haha! Yep!
Thank you for taking me to places I can't go anymore. I miss it. GOD bless you and your love ones Have a good week
Was a good video Gly. 👍👍🇨🇦
Thanks, Gly!
That one piece of newspaper you found that you read a Home Mutual insurance. We have a Home Mutual office in our lil town here in Southern Indiana. Interesting! Anyway, that was a good long mine to sink your teeth and boots in.
This is super mine extremely in formation thank you gly it was a long walk for you👀 no sing/song🤪
Too bad, a lot of rock outside.....They dident make a lot of money.....Too bad most of the Artifacts are gone....Large and long mine.....How long was it in production?...Good job on the Video Gly......................JB...............
Not only predators but just being chased into the daylight can kill a bat. Great job 👍
Please keep the great videos coming friend from Scotland 😊
See this is why I Love mine exploring because of thew history that can be gleaned from exploring mines. The newspaper, although meant to be used for something else, gave hints to a person who was a remarkable person and had a lot of experience as a nurse in a sanitarium that delivered more than 3000 babies and a loss of only one mother, due to a pre-existing condition. And this was information about two people who worked tirelessly to serve their community and help others, that none of us who watch your UA-cam channel would have never known if you didn't take the time to pick up the newspaper and read to us the name of someone who was mentioned in it! Because I love history so much, and the mine exploring is a link to the men of the past who worked hard underground to bring out natural resources for use. Keep up the great work "GLY" and I hope we can explore some even more intriguing mines that show the skill of the men who knew so much about doing their work! when you go into places that showcase such incredible wood work and how it is placed to provide the greatest safety for the miners it shows how skilled and intelligent they were for the time and that they were as intelligent and skilled in their time as any who live today. The biggest sin the new generations commit against the older generations is to think that the aged and older people are not as smart or talented as they are. This is nothing more than Hubris because the older generations had to accomplish the same every day things as we do only with a much less advanced technology and if the younger generations were to have to revert to the same level of technology as the old timers beck then, they would be at a complete loss and then it would be apparent that the younger generation is not as capable as they thought themselves to be. We often take our technology for granted but if it were not available we would be at a huge disadvantage. I always try to impress upon the young that the older generations deserve their respect because their lives were much harder than our today and they not only succeeded in their tasks but also thrived!
“Gly”: These places are real life time capsules and if you know how to look for the clues they do tell quite a story.
By the end Gly was melting in sweat 🥵
Don't touch that paper 😂
Great video Gly.
I do, myself and I, enjoy a longer episode. Thanks Gly. Us 3 really appreciate it.

If you dig out one of those old portals, don't bring your hoe. Bucket will never talk to you again.
❤
Bucket needs to understand that sometimes he can't meet all of Gly's needs and a good hoe can...
Better a hoe than a bucket.
Lol
Lot of work for little gain for those miners. Glad to see you look after the bats.🦇
There's an Australian opal mine youtuber who basically just goes around poking sticks into gravel deposits and stand back while the rocks all just fall out.
I would have also guessed that newspaper was referencing FDR's court packing attempt of the mid thirties. Prop. = proprietor
The video is longer than an hour, but I was not bored for one second. Great exploration, thank you for the good work.
Good evening from Finland! Woohoo, over an hour long video and straight into the mine! I don't know about the others, but I like these long mine tunnels. That tungsten mine was fantastic. I also remember a mine where there were miners working. If I remember correctly, you were there with Frank. The men must have been surprised to see Frank appear out of nowhere. Good old days... 37:34 😂 Everybody's watching Sandra Lee's show! It comes on TV here almost every night. 🤔 Maybe you could start getting used to it by watching 😰 earwax removal videos on UA-cam. 🤤😆
Thanks again and stay safe! 🙋🏼♀️
You should buy some new suspenders ;-) Great footage that brought a lot of fun to me !
“Gly”: Your telling me! This video was recorded in May, you should see me now!
🤔 lisaloves summer been awol 🤷♂️ that’s ok we all do from time to time 😝 I got this one Lisa …. Good morning everyone ☕️☀️ 👍 😁
Potatoes used to be in burlap bags. One of my jobs at the grocery in the 1950s. 10 years old. Putting in 5 and 10 pound bags to sell. Flour on big cotton sacks. Same deal. Women almost fought over those big cotten flour sacks.
Dish rags.. Diapers. Even clothes.
Bardzo przyjemnie popatrzeć na prawdziwego pasjonata wręcz emanującego swoją pozytywną energią i wielkim entuzjazmem!
Brent from ghost town living in Cerro Gordo is looking for people to go down with him to the 900 foot level
Thank you Gly, going along with you is so much fun and I do appreciate that you take me along as I am too old and broken to ever do it myself. Thanks so very much!!!
Gly your home room once again thanks just be safe great job😁
The stuff you have to climb over is what scares me. That stuff use to be on the ceiling.
Hooray for the bats. Thanks again for taking us all along with you.
Why didn't you check out the raise by the honey pot corner? Looked like it really opened up in there from the camera's perspective. I know we can't see what you see but all these unexplored raises and winzes are leaving me rife with anticipation. I know, I know. You just started exploring the site. I need to be patient, but I'm getting all antsy now, lol. We love you big guy! Always looking forward to Saturday morning Gly adventures! Stay safe out there buddy!♥
“Gly”: Sometimes you just can’t fit everything into one video so I will strategically save parts of a mine for a 2nd episode. I’m going back to this mine next spring with my lady friend to explore that decline shaft with rope as well as that ladder. 👍
Your narrative and information are the BEST!!!
In that colonoscopy section, are they mining good ore all along the way in an ire seam, or are they just going through rock to get to where they think the good vein is? Roger
Wow! Frightening! Most of us viewers could never even begin to guess how dangerous your work is! Stay safe, and again, thank you for what you do!! Stay safe..
1:02:33 bat 🦇 is like “doopity doopity WHOA nope” 😂
I bet them Doc's let you all read a New's Paper 📃 while they were about thier Business!!! At least Gly found some Blockage!!!; ) and He knew When to get Out!!!😅😂🎉
A interesting and a bit crumbly mine, very nice explore Gly thnx.
Great video. Not boring. Everything about it was good. Even the singing. Thanks for the adventure.
“Gly”: Haha! I’m glad you didn’t click off after my singing.
Thanks Gly
Thanks Glyn I enjoyed the longer video today also. Wonder how close you are to McGill, NV. Big old mines in that area I’ve been told. Thanks again. See you next Saturday. Stay safe.
🙏🏻🤗🙏🏻
GLY... 1 - I LOVE watching a long video, but I had to wait until today to watch it. 2 - That repurposed vent pipe: My folks and I were up in Aurora, Nevada, around 1953, Dad (USMC fighter pilot) had recently returned home from Korea, hence my dating it in 1953. We were exploring under a house and found several Java (coffee) cans - the basic shape of those vent pipes - from a coffee producer in San Francisco. The cans were metal, and the top could be pulled off, or there was a screw-on cap for pouring/measuring coffee for brewing. The labels were still on the cans, and intact. When we got home from that trip, he contacted the company. (They were still in business). They went 'Ga-ga' over his discovery, and he sent the cans to them for display. At that point in time (early 50s), there were several buildings still standing in 'downtown Aurora, and fifty+/- houses still standing in the hills around town.
IF you're basing out of the Hawthorne area, take a day, drive over Lucky Boy pass and visit Aurora. There's not much left any more, but you might find it interesting....
Great explore again…and Tks for keeping that bat safe! Signing off with my “signature” 🇬🇧🚢🚂
Great stuff !!
I have had plenty of Colonoscopes over the years and yes, it looks like the video. I had my first one in my early forties as my dad died of rectal colon cancer. For my first one I asked to be totally awake. What a guided tour I had. Check out Hank's belts. Tey make indestructible belts.
Awesome job Gly. Stay safe and all the best from Tasmania. Australia......................
Gly, I can't believe you didn't go look up that ladder!
“Gly”: I will… stay tuned! Remember, I always have a master strategy and sometimes you can’t fit it all into one episode.
It's your riveting conversation that is part of the reason we keep watching...
Great video Gly! Was not bored, thanks for sharing.
It's interesting that there was a honey pot newspaper in the colonoscopy mine, because they do tell you to clean yourself out before getting a colonoscopy!
Gly check with USGS for seismic transmitters each seismicgraph is transmitted usually by long wave radio to the USGS. An audio tone is used to represent the data of the seismicgraph. Some geologist can tell the size of tremor just by listening to the tone modulation.
Maybe someone already gave you this info on the article you found...
Elizabeth McDonald Watson
Born Oct 13 1865
Died Jan 3 1957
Buried at Forest View Cemetery
Nevada City, CA
Enjoyed the colonoscopy tour today. LOL
It appears there was an article about her work at the Nevada City Sanitarium in The Union newspaper in 2008.
I do appreciate your videos especially these more lengthy ones.
Your chum in Scotland.
Thanks again for the opportunity to see what I would never get to. Stay safe.
33:45 they would remove the straight rail and reuse it, the bent cannot be reused, so it's usually left.
It seemed a shorter distance going in than you coming out. Thank you for sharing.
You moved over to let a bat fly past, so it wouldn’t get eaten. I don’t know why that hit me so hard, but it did. You’re a good guy.
“Gly”: You gotta be kind to the animals especially when you’re in their home.
Well that was different. Didn't mind the long video at all. Interesting geology is always good. What was all the blue rock please? ❤🤔🇦🇺
that was nice, 1 hour is like a good mystery on tv. keep it up
I'd be too scared to go deep into one of these, maybe 50 or 100', claustrophobia suffocates me. Thanks for taking us along.
Yes, this is the longest mine you've been in for a while. Truly enjoyed it.
Would've loved to see the workings down that shaft.
Thanks for another good one!
An hour and ten minutes seemed like it was just a short fifteen minute episode. You do a good job explaining everything. Thank You Gly.👍👍👍😃😃😃🫡🫡🫡
“Gly”: Thank you, I’m happy you enjoyed it!
Then in March 1910, Elizabeth McD. Watson together with Laura M. Peterson opened the Nevada City Sanitarium on Coyote Street "on the banks of Manzanita Creek." The facility operated until 1946, when it was converted to a rest home and served as such until it closed its doors in 1953. This is in California east of Sacramento in the foothills rich in mining history.
Thanks for your research.
Gly , you shouldn’t joke about a party going on . Remember that mine where somebody set up a bar and lawn chairs ! Do you really want to soil your pants again ? Great video !
Also sorry I wrote the last remark earlier in video . Back to also at the 50 minute mark if you look on your left it looks like a grease brush stuck to the wall .
There’s quite the write up from a 2008 story about Ms. McD . if you Google it .
“Gly”: Oh yeah, I forgot about that mine! That one did catch me off guard.
Look at how that seam of mineral was running right next to the hanging/footwall (right side) at 17:28. Shows up intermittently thru the adet area and more visable at the "crossroads" 19:00, in the strait run. Not much of a mine has glorious colors. Thanks for explaining things as "fault gouge" as you went. Even though you fast forwarded your walk back, you really got a "walking workout" in today's explore!! MY GOSH! you were in a long way!! As I watched your explore, all the while smoke from the Canadian fires has been infilterating into our skyline/air here in Wisc. (kinda hazey looking out there). Thanks for your efforts of today's mine explore.
You know Gly, for those sketchy interior shafts, ore passes, and winzes that you're unable to safely venture down you should come up with a light weight and portable rig for a GoPro camera with a light to lower down them for a better view...just an idea that would be pretty cool to see.
“Gly”: I have one and it’s called the torpedo cam but don’t worry, I’m going back to this mine to explore that shaft next spring. 👍
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces I remember the torpedo cam, but wasn't that pretty big and bulky? Was thinking more along the lines of something small and compact that you could throw in your backpack to carry in with you. Anyways, definitely looking forward to more mine exploration videos, so far your summer season in Nevada has been pretty epic.
Yes, that was a long trip. Good that you show it to me!
Appreciate the long video! Thanks Gly.
Wow! That was a trek and a half! Good effort!
Awsome mine! So much to explore Gyl, love the well preserved rails seem to go on for miles! ❤😊👍
We used to call them "Subsistence mines". That was where you made just enough to eat and keep mining. (And hope for profit)
...👍🏾🙏👍🏾✨✨✨Wowww ...You sho did a whole lotta walking in there ...wat a long moment as I did enjoy that lookings how amazing awesome that's was ...I hope to continue lookings forward in wat you will do next ...so Sir...I will see you next week...take care and Goodbye Sir...Later✨✨✨👍🏾🙏👍🏾...
Not sure if I have ever told you this before Gly, but your videos help me with my claustrophobia. Thank you.
“Gly”: Thank you! I’m happy I could help!
Wipe there butt with I was just falling asleep when I heard you say that Gly and I started laughing you rock buddy
Crazy long hike into the mountain. Very cool Mr. Gly Coolness! ❤
It never ceases to amaze me just how much labor it took to tunnel and haul every cubic foot of ore and rock out of there. It makes me wonder what one is capable of today with a simple roto hammer and hand tools without explosives.. How much gold per ton would it have to have to be worth working in this way and how many inches or feet a week one could make. I would do it if I could make a modest living at it. I'm 50 and my time is running out so I need to make this come true or forget about it. Thank you for the tour as I really enjoy these videos and seeing just what kind of hell our ancestors endured just to survive.
“Gly”: In mines such as this, every step forward is roughly a days worth of work and all one can do is marvel at the level of hard work it took to excavate these mines. Unless I found a vein with very high concentrations of gold, these days I’d focus on placer instead of hard rock gold. Sitting in a front end loader and loading a trommel all day may be boring but it’s a heck of allot easier than blasting and removing rock.
Ah. That burning ring of fire..
Thanks a bunch Gly 🙏
