    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.

    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!

    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.

    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/

    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? 😂😅

    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... 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....

    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.

    33:45 they would remove the straight rail and reuse it, the bent cannot be reused, so it's usually left.

    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.

    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.

  • @RuggedRunnerOverland

    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.

    • @AbandonedandForgottenPlaces

      “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.

    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.

    • @AbandonedandForgottenPlaces
      @AbandonedandForgottenPlaces  6 місяців тому +1

      “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.
