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...

Gly sees an endless pit of death... "Doesn't that look fun Mr. M?!"
instablaster
Endless pit of not easily accessed unknown
It’s Saturday morning! Lets go!
I was a Saturday morning cartoon kid now it’s Saturday morning mine exploration vidjas 🤠
I love the fast motion of Gly coming down from the hill. Then the funny laugh. I literally laughed out loud on that one. You guys are a great team.
Some Buster Keaton movie style to me. ;)
@@stephanb.3342 oh definitely
I watched it twice
I went in a mine about 20 years ago in Ophir Utah. There was a rail with 4 cars and a battery pack and lots of other artifacts. We turned around when I nearly stepped into a hole in the middle of the track... After watching these videos I've realized it was probably a false floor. Very cool but I won't ever do it again.
I've been watching these on my phone, finally got hometime and watching on huge laptop with great speakers. Wow, the difference!
Same here. I bet it's amazing on a big screen.
I'm usually a lazy bones with my phone in bed on weekend mornings, but I'll get up to sit at my desk when I watch these guys.
Mr M's Vienna sausage is quite a sight on a 42" screen!
Okay, the super-speed huffing and puffing was definitely funny. lol
Thanks for taking us on your explores ..I'm very interest ...even writing down names of things you talk about ...little
Old Aussie .lady thanks again !
that cracks me up....lol
@@davidmoffitt7297 you are a very wholesome lady
“Jeez, I don’t know why I’m having a hard time remembering things today”......”Did you see this “”no air ahead”” sign?”...”no, but I can breathe just fine”.
That first mine had a great example of why the sides of a mine are called the 'ribs' at starting about 8:17. It depends on the type of country rock they had to drill into. Every new set of holes drilled around the outside edge of the new face weren't drilled parallel to the direction of the tunnel, they were drilled at an angle away from the center. Otherwise, the tunnel would get smaller and smaller. Each one of the ridges left is the edge of the former face which looked like the ribs if they continued for any distance appearing like the ribs of a skeleton. And ribs are connected to the 'back'. The fact that you don't usually see evidence of the drill holes speaks to the shock effect dynamite had on the rock. It literally shatters the rock for some distance in all directions. If you find a mine where evidence of the drill holes remains in the ribs it will be a mine driven before roughly 1867 when black powder was replaced by dynamite. Black powder is a low explosive exerting more of a push than the shock of dynamite. This mine made up for the last couple of weeks but I'd like to see what's at the bottom of that deep winze. Are you ever concerned that you will come across the source of a stink that's wearing tennis shoes, sunglasses, and a watch?
“Gly”: Thanks for the great comment! Yes, we believe it’s only a matter of time before we find a body in one of these places.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces It's hard to come up with something humorous to say about that situation other than check the wallet first.
That's not funny, that's sick.
"Never climb a ladder covered in duct tape." Mom told me that!
;)
I put duct tape on my ladders to secure tools to
Great advice! There should at least be some baling wire in place for structural integrity.
You guys should see about connecting with Brent over on the Ghost Town Living channel. He's the owner of Cerro Gordo California, a ghost town, and its Union mine. Not just the union but many others in the area. I know he's explored some of them with a buddy and he also hosts other youtubers. Might be worth it to reach out to him as he's not far away.
Gly, seeing your obvious excitement either because you're about go deeper into a Dangerous Place or because you've found more Scary Underground Holes to explore always makes me smile.
You and Mr M are absolute legends.
I can’t stop laughing at the fast walking part, the channel just keeps getting better every time I watch.
I absolutely love that you stop and look over the old graffiti. It's super interesting seeing the writing's that people do on the walls from nearly sixty years ago. Definitely one of my favorite parts of your channel :)
Mister M is a riot, and an inspiration, I'm 62 and my suspension would have a hard time with some of the terrain Mister M is trekking through, great job, and the one liners are priceless along with mine adventure.
The camera quality is great along with the editing, love the channel, I would like to hear some more in depth history of the mines and areas you fellas are searching, you have to stumble on some good stories in your research for your adventures.
Thanks for the entertainment!
“Gly”: Thanks! I’m happy your enjoying the channel!
Whether y’all think an episode is a strike out or not, I still enjoy it! Just seeing the pretty landscape and listing to you two old farts talk and pick on each other still makes my day. 😄
for those who are wondering, the footage at 49:03 isnt sped up, your actually witnessing what happens to Gly when he catches the scent of a good mine to explore.
He sounds like a munchkin walking fast.
In some of the older opening videos it looked like you were on El Mirage Dry Lake. If you were in that area did you make it to Johannesburg? Population maybe 200 or so. That place is like stepping back in time, mines every where and a few were being worked last time I was there. Then Jaw Bone Canyon is fairly. First time we explored Jawbone there were not any roads up into the canyon. We camped there for a weekend and I did manage to find a human corpse and reported it to the Mojave police dept. That was a mistake. Learned the value of 'I never saw anything.'
“Gly”: All the dry lake scenes in my older videos were shot in western Nevada.
What happened after you reported the body?
@@willobrien4766
first they didn't believe me. Finally two detectives followed us up to the site, at which time they said 'yup.' Then here came 20 so or more cops, lots of shovels, flood lights, sifting screens and a mountain of beer. Then the shooting competition started. Most dangerous time I ever had in the desert and it went on all night.
I love the googly eyes on Mr M’s microphone
Always a great start to my Saturdays!
Totally agree. 👍😁
Always remember when crossing over the border into California from Arizona or Nevada to fill the gas tank before the crossing because you’ll need a gold mine to pay the difference in gas prices!
“Gly”: Ain’t that the truth?! The gas prices in California are criminal.
“Gly”: Ain’t that the truth?! The gas prices in California are criminal.
Cali has no toll roads, they derive the money for road, bridge, tunnel upkeep outside federal dollars from people who drive vehiclex.
Amen I live in California. The California STATE tax is 47 cents. Then start adding all the local taxes. I makes me nut when I visit my kids in Ohio and but reasonable gas
Try being Canadian! Y'all know nothing of taxes...
Hey Gly, I am a son of a Miner. Was born in Massena N.Y. was raised in Tahawus N.Y. a mining town. My father William F. Brainard worked there in the mines. There was a small town with a school. My two older brothers, who are no longer alive went to school there. Now knowing that the place closed down in 2005. All of this came to mind last night. Thought of telling you, all this mining brought it to mind to check it out, not go there.
I live about 45 minutes from this area and there are so many mines out that way. I found one that I've only seen in one other youtube video besides my own. Can't wait to see more.
That chipmunk laugh at the end... 😆
Absolutely excellent, these mines were really fascinating, there was so much to see. You know what we like as far as looking down that open stope is concerned. As ever, sheer brilliance. Thank you both so much for what you put into this, it so much appreciated by us.
Love the end sequence Gly ... In the good old UK, we had a comedian, "Benny Hill" who used to end his TV show with a speed'ed up sequence, mostly chased by half naked girls. Maybe you could emulate that if "El Magnifico" could stand it!! LOL!! Great explore too, by the way ☺☺
“Gly”: I loved watching Benny Hill!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces I wonder what he would of made of your underground adventures??
Dilwyn I remember him well. We are showing our age now.....
@@sparrow_6177 Too true Debbie, but every morning I wake up and feel like a 19yr old....................................................................................Damned if I can find one though LOL!!
Hello Kilwyn! Oh we certainly know all about Benny Hill!! He was wildly popular here in the States! Won't be anyone like him ever again I am afraid. Cheers.
Hi guys, wasn't that Azurite absolutely beautiful, I would really love to own a piece but sadly on my disability I can only dream lol, I really enjoy seeing the stunning colours in mines, they must be one of the more pretty places to work as the colour is always changing. Thank you both for taking us along to see these amazing places, much love. xx 🙏💖
“Gly”: Thanks Sue! I’ve often wondered just how wide the various types of blue copper ore got in some of these mines before they mined it all out. I’m certain there’s more in that area near the tops of the surrounding mountains in places to hard to mine because of the terrain.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces It does make you wonder, you never know what technology will come up with for mining in the future. xx
I lived in Goldfield Nevada after retiring from the Navy & Nam. 73 to 75. I’ll have to fill you in on my time there through your PO Box#. Great place. Loved it! Love watching your films too!
Do you ever hear me yelling no don't go there. You don't listen. Love you and Mr M with your funny talk. Thanks.Always
You, Mr M and Mr Bill. Heading out on adventures, because you have all the time in the world. I love that, and I love watching your adventures. Even when you don't think you've hit it out of the park, I love just watching y'all just exploring.
Good afternoon from the UK 🙂🏴
Another fantastic video Gly! This area is within 150 miles from our back yard and I have flown over the area many times as a private pilot. From the air one can see many remote dirt roads leading to nowhere. Actually many lead to amazing mines! I liked the sped up footage of the short hike up the hill and Mr. M’s footage of you coming back down. Your drone shots really elevate your productions too! There’s a pun ... but the aerial footage is just gorgeous. Keep up the good work! Love your channel.
Don’t know how you guys do things, but if you spend nights out there, the chaparral has long, dead branches that make great fire starters. It burns hot, no smoke, and doesn’t give food any funky tastes. It doesn’t burn to fast either. We’ve spent weeks in the high Mojave desert and have always used those branches to start our campfires, and to cook over. This was a great video, loved the fast motion at the end, and can’t wait for in-depth coverage of all these mines. Thanks Gly and Mr M for all the hard work you put into your videos. Blessings.
Awesome! Just got my cup of coffee ready to go
Well Mr.M probably got his tea cups out sipping the royals finest... ☕
Fantastic as always! Gets this old lady down into places she'll never see IRL.
In the caving world, we yell ROCK! when anything gets dislodged or dropped and folks are below.
Does anyone find themselves shouting at the screen, “look up/left/right”. We didn’t get to do a full explore on the first mine. I appreciate that you are trying a new editing style. Personally, the Gly cam gives a first person feel to the whole adventure. The drone shots are great. Loved the Gly, “Mighty Mouse” speed edits. I look forward to a new video every Saturday. Thanks for everything you and Mr. M do.
The footage of you coming down the hill was HILARIOUS!! Nice job.
Love the laughing Alvin the chipmunk sound effects! too funny...
The fact you keep the camera steady will keep me watching.
superb use of technology in your videos make it so special.
I've seen a relatively recent UA-cam vid from some other abandoned mine explorers where they documented this very same mine -- and they didn't mention anything about a horrible smell. This tells me that either the source of the odor is a very recent occurrence or that those other UA-camrs have Covid and can't smell anything. :)
Mr. Bill says, "Oh NOoooooo please don't put me in the pit of death Sluggo!" Great vid.
Ive been watching you for years and I love every minute of it. Be safe.
Well first of all, that was the fastest 53 minutes of beautifully rendered video I have watched in awhile! And I can't say enough about your intro today! The overhead footage along with your voice and choosing the perfect music, you had me so excited before the you ever got in a mine! If I ever was gonna do a UA-cam Channel I would pay you for my openings! That was the best opening I have ever seen on UA-cam! Also, I live in Palm Springs and I didn't realize how many mines were so close! Almost in my backyard. I have a 4wd Honda CRV, are the roads passable in something without the ground clearance of a Jeep? Thanks so much for what you do. The depressing part is having to wait another week before another masterpiece is available to watch. One last thing, when you first start and you say hi and explain where you are, I miss not seeing a nice warm hi from Mr. M also! Take care and always be safe!
“Gly”: Thanks for the kind words, I’m really happy your enjoying the channel! I wouldn’t recommend taking this road unless your SUV has at least 9 inches of clearance underneath. We drove past a similar SUV on the way in and they were struggling with a flat tire.
Superb camera and commentary thankyou ...
French horns, a string section and the Schnozzelator- together at last. It’s music 🎶 to my schnoz 👃 🎶. 👍
You guys need to go back and finish that mine! I’ll pay for the gas and a danish w/ coffee.
Wery exiting. God work guys.
I have been watching your channel for quite some time now and always enjoy you and Mr. M on your adventures. That is one thing I cannot do and will live vicariously through all your eyes. Stay safe out there and happy exploring!
Your videos are great, Gly and Mr. M, your the best mine explorers, you really put me in the mine with you. I'm hoping to go check out some myself, I still have my Marine Corps maps of Twenty Nine Stumps that show all the old mines in the area, glad to share if you like.👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸
"Good golly Gly" indeed! LoL Mr. M. Some of those backroads are an adventure unto themselves.
This is my backyard! I've been there so many times and I've been WAITING for years for you to finnaly explore this location!!! Such an awsome video!
Thanks Gly , nice adventure can’t wait tell next week.
That first mine was probably still working the last time I was in Southern California mine exploring with my grandfather in the early 1960s.
I have a Mavic Mini too, as well as a Mavic Pro... and a few others. I've been flying quadcopters and drones for 7 years and registered with the FAA the 2nd day they had drone pilot registration. I tried the first day but their server was so overwhelmed that it crashed.
In case you didn't know; if you monetize your videos it is illegal to use drone footage without having an FAA Part 107 commercial drone license.
“Gly”: I have my attorney friend looking into it. It would seem there definition of “commercial” is a one size fits all statement including anybody who profits from there drone even in the smallest capacity. If this is the case and there’s no grey area wiggle room then I guess I’ll be forced to hop on the band wagon of government over regulation and get one.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Don't do it!!! These idiotic laws need compliance to work and when they get that they'll keep on adding regulations. I don't need a license to fly my R/C planes or launch model rockets that can take pictures, why a drone? I remember when fishing licenses were freshwater only, now they want control of the ocean's bounty too. Never had a fishing, hunting OR a drone license and never will, fine me and I won't pay, put me in jail, they'll never do it. PLEASE do not comply.
Hey Gly, fairly new to your channel, just wanted to say your videos are amazing and it’s fantastic to see how carefully you guys work with the cameras to give us the best experience! Much appreciated!
Super interesting to hear you talk about the mines, ore and all the other stuff.
Keep up the good work, stay safe and bless you.
/a fan from Sweden
Video production is coming along leaps n bounds, congrats from Downunder ..just don’t dig too far or you pop up here lol
I went camping out there at black rock that same weekend. Unfortunately my car broke down unexpectedly and I got stranded at camp for a couple more days while it was getting fixed. Didn’t get to explore much, but it’s quite beautiful out there. Mayhap’s we passed each other at some point. Glad you had a better time than I did!
Even if the rungs weren’t broken on that winz, the fact that they are on the backside of the vertical rails would be enough for me to want to rope up regardless of condition. Glad to see you guys exploring some SO CAL mines. They are all over the place down there. Thanks for another great video.
Best adventure l have seen. Sir you have a new follower . Very well done . My son is a Geologist l will forward this link . Being South African gold mining is in our blood ..
Wow ! Love that cryscatola !!!🤗
another great video Gly and Mr M these videos make my week, look forward to them every Sunday here in New Zealand
Adventure on a Saturday, some good exercise too.
I have to say you guys are at your best when you are exploring together.I watch nothing but people like ya'll and your channel is at the top of my list hands down.
I feel so much better with you two using your present exploring plan of keeping a distance between yourselves while underground.
The Miners Graffiti is Great to see.
HELLO THERE!! A quick Shout-out to Gly and Mr. M specifically..... Excellent, excellent top tier video filmed around such extraordinarily beautiful western country of good ol' USA!! You guys are a great team together, videos are intriguing, interestingly educating, captivating, down to earth entertaining and at times funny as all get out delivered with a family-friendly overtone. Gly, I'm truly happy for your clean bill of health and determined mental and physical progress you worked so hard for and it's truly inspiring! This has got to be one of the very best channels on all of UA-cam, hands down!! Big fan of you fellas and your channel and the thrilling n interesting work that y'all do and pray for y'all's continued good health to be able to keep going for a long time!!! God Bless you gentlemen and as Gomer Pyle of the Andy Griffith Show always said,.... "Lots of luck to you and yours!!!!" Take care!!!😁🤘🤘👍. P.S., absolutely stellar video and audio quality to the episode, color me impressed!
DJI Mini 2 is the drone I bought in December, also 249 grams. It is the best thing I ever bought. I don't get to fly much but when I do I get the best pictures and videos. I never thought I'd have a flying camera, love it. You two give me a lot of enjoyment. Thank you both again for all the adventures and laughs.😃😃❤❤
Mr. M is damn near exactly like my father awesome companion and great company.; stay safe and happy mining
Nice you mention your father. Thank you.
@@elmagnifico8475 he was a awesome dude like your self
Cool video as always , thank you both
Can't wait to see you rope into that mine!
really like the intro you put together, I love it when people have fun with editing and I think it's a nice touch
“Gly”: Thank you!
always good stuff Gly,,, Stay safe and keep finding great locations.
Awesome adventures!
CA is crazy enough to have a salaried OSHA rep somewhere in the mine to make sure you're exploring safely.
Every time I see you digging bits of rock out with your fingers my inner mineralogist screams "Why don't you have a geologist's hammer?!" though, granted, some places you'd be crazy to use one (if not to be in there in the first place :D). Still, my claustrophobic self loves your videos - they keep getting better and better!
really cracks me up when you use the fast footage, the audio sounds like Gusgus huff'n and puff'n. thanks again, great show👍
Like your smooth camera movement, well done
Oh crap! I may have just never noticed it, but THE GOOGLY EYES on Mr M's mic cover!
Y’all are throwin MY back out just watching you drive those roads lol! very cool video! Can’t wait to see more!
Love the drone shots and what a great explore! Enjoyed all the first person POV camera work as well. You guys always do such a great job bringing us along on these explores! Watching your videos is an important part of my Saturdays! Thanks for the fun~
“Gly”: Thank you very much!
Hello Gly ; would you ever consider doing an episode , where Mr . M was the primary , and you were the supporting host ... Thanx
No answer, I guess ?
GOOD GOLLY GLY! I loved the cinematic feel to this episode. Great work.
“Gly”: Thank you!
Very brave to climb a ladder that’s duct taped together!
At least someone else noticed that.
Yeah I don't think he was 2 worried since it was only about 12 ft
For sure!!
"No Way in Heck would I put my weight on that thing!" That was the first thing out of my mouth when he walked up to that ladder and I saw the duct tape on it! Obviously others had been in there doing the same thing as Gly and Mr. M! LOL
That was fun. I’m excited to see you guys exploring the wild open areas of California. Stay safe!
You guys are hilarious 😂 I enjoyed and appreciate all the creative talent!
Wow that intro music 👏 but seriously someone could fall into that hole into the shaft since its not fenced off.. dangerous
Safety first always everyone
Gly is turning into the Morgan Freeman voice of exploring mines :) 👍
“Gly”: Lol!
Love your content. Sure makes an hour go by quick.
Thanks for the trip
Awesome gly....thanks for another great video sir!
I love my Mavic Mini2, its the best drone for its size and price category
My alarm went off. It is that time of the week. If course we want to see more of the first mine. I collect minerals but I like the smaller size so the ones in your pocket are probably going to be popular for lots of us. Thanks.
Beautiful rocks
Thanks for a more informed 420 session!Going to check out some holes myself,hey wife!
These places always make me wonder how in the world the original miners found these areas to mine out in the middle of nowhere, especially when they didn’t have modern transportation like Jeep’s and atv’s.
“Gly”: They hiked in on foot with burrows in tow carrying there supplies and equipment. When they got to a place of interest they would establish a base camp and spend months exploring every inch of the surrounding mountains.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces thank you! wow, can you imagine living like that in these hot deserts with no water or resources around? they were a lot tougher than me!
Famous last words: "OH WOW, LOOK AT THAT!!!"
I love the eyeballs on the mic floof!
These are the modern cave paintings future archaeologists will see
Thank you again for doing what some of us oldsters can no longer do.. EXPLORE!
