If you love seeing massive Headframes and Historic Buildings from the 1800's that still have all there working equipment inside then you will love both Tonopah mining park and the Florence mine in Goldfield Nevada . We were given special permission to go underground and we want to thank Jon Aurich for letting explore his Historic mines. To watch more like this just click here ua-cam.com/video/ZPoIJAAD_ig/v-deo.html and smash that like button ....smash it HARD !!!!
A 100 gram rock Falling 1000 feet would be traveling close to 300 miles an hour. I sure hope no one was down at the bottom when you dropped that rock!
Excellent music choice at 16:08
Hi Joanne!
The amount of money in timbers just to get down the shaft is huge. They pulled A lot of money out but they spent alot of money into mine too! I dont ever see enough money could ever be raised to reopen the mine. I wonder how old the miners lived in those days? How long could a career as a miner was average.?
Where’s the SILVER ORE so we can see High Grade stuff? And YA I Want To See More BIG NUGGETS FROM YOUR MINE! You need a operation like this at your mine!
I would love to go back in time to see these mines in full operation. Thanks my brother and Lila and Nevada Jack for this amazing video
you betcha
You need to take some trips to various ancient tunnel cities while you got the vigor. Youd prob be amazed and appreciate it more then most could comprehend what theyre seeing
Nice to see Slim!!
Good to see old Nevada Jack, brought back memories and a smile.
Wow I love that old wheelbarrow with the iron wheel that’s cool
One of the best preserved examples of both infrastructure and a mining town is Bisbee in SE Arizona. The Copper Queen Mine is probably the best mining tour in the country. Bisbee was very much a company town, and the Phelps Dodge office building is a neat Art Deco contrast to the predominantly Victorian architecture. Places like this and Bisbee are utterly fascinating.
yes they are
I saw the union tin the carbide was kept for the lanterns. Funny" me" I had to actually stop the video and Google union carbide. Amazing read. Heard the name on so many products growing up. Unreal. The mines couldn't have ran without carbide. And an accident in India. Ended it. Good read. And you know I love the video. Steel head frame. Yes grandpa and his brother went to tonapah too.
Thanks Jeff, wow what an operation! Thank you sir!
I know..right
Thanks for the mining history, Jeff!
you betcha
Hello from Maine Jeff !!!
I love these videos teaching us the history of mining from back in the day... keep these videos coming Jeff!
and get out there and get some more of that ol' shiny!
Woooooooo Hoooooooo
Howdy and you betcha
I have an IR compressor. I use it every day. It’s quiet and works like a champ!
Jeff, years ago, Fox News did a program on the Florence. I don't remember the woman reporter that did a story on the
Florence. She got a bucket of ore and had it assayed . It came in at 300 oz per ton.
Wow!!!😮 that's really rich!
With gold and silver being as expensive as it is I don’t understand why these mines aren’t being worked? And milled on site? You could be shipping gold and silver NOW!
jeff, i truly enjoy learning from you. you are an excellent teacher.
The specimens were the best part of the video, wow!
So crazy how them old timers did it. Wow Nevada Jack good to you brother he finally broke out of slims slave mine. Every time I see the old works it's just amazing. Be safe my friend 🙏 how bad do u want to get down there?
AWWWW! Bummed that I missed ya! You came to my town! Thanks for the vid Jeff! If you are by chance still here please let me know! would love to shake your hand!
you betcha my brother
love these mine explorations thanks for another Great video Jeff
few give thoughts or credit to our sun. rather interesting how gold is produced by stars. 🤔 thanks for taking us with you sir.
I love all the old mining equipment and mines..good morning Mr Williams
we do to
VERY VERY COOL,LOVE THE SAMPLES AT THE END,BEAUTIFUL..THANK YOU JEFF AND THE GANG..
I was just surfing the Tonopah area on the Google map looking at the mines.
That was great, Jeff! I gotta say, I get the best history and geology lessons here. Absolutely fascinating! Thanks!
Awesome, thank you!
Love the history lesson and Jeff and Nevada Jack are the best 😊
Awesome video Jeff. Very interesting. Nice specimens.
Great tour Jeff some of that was a bit too sketchy fr me to have ever explored. The equipment was fantastic and that saw was wild. Then when you showed the gold from different locations was a trip down memory lane as I visited a lot of those old mines. Seven Troughs was the only place where I can for certain say we were haunted. It was down right unnerving.
Good seeing your pops. Very cool stuff. I'd love to donate. Not sure how..🤠
for donations just click the link or call for Jon at the Florence mine www.tonopahminingpark.com/gen. (702) 622-1344
Fun video of some of Nevada's best preserved mines! That Florence Mine was a tight one getting down through there. Gravity helps you get down, but it's only muscle power to get out!
i would die first before you got me down that mine!! claustrophobia is less at 10’ than 1000’! maybe if it was my mine i would suck it up, but i had to take some medication just thinking about going down that small hole so deep
George Boscovich was a family friend, I met him in the winter of 1966.
That's a mine I could spend weeks in! I'd need a backpack full of SD cards though! Could you imagine what's down in the flooded sections. That place is a museum that all mines should look like! Thanks Jeff and Lila! Great video And yeah! You too Nevada Jack!
Yea Jeff, keep the long interesting videos coming! Teach.
wow nice to see Navinder Jack, that's made my day Jeff. Sometimes we have to remember our past to move forward ,let's face it its the old timers that know the legends handed down hope you find the lump on gold that big one man cannot pick it up me words for today is bay leaves & feather falls. smiles
So cool to see all the things they had down to a science from all the experience and thought they put into it .
Hi Jeff,. That would be one hell of a job refurbishing that mine. You have to actually "cut" all that swelling ground out and completely retimber. That guy has one hell of a job to do in order to get that mine back to par.
Willie Nelson took Nevada Jack’s spot! Great video! Keep em coming Jeff!
I'm pretty sure Howard Hughes was the last mine operator in Tonopah.
Your the man Jeff thank you for another great video
thanks
Been in lots of Mines , one In Goldstone California as a teenager riding motorcycles in the desert (now 72) . We went down this old , old wooden ladder 100’s of feet to walk back out to ground 😳! Been 40 years in Alaska, 20 in Ketchikan where old miners were in boats cruising the shores to look for Quartz Veins that went into Hardrock formations to find Gold and Silver .
Nevada Jack Nice to See He's Holding his Hat Well!!!; )
Hey Jeff, just a quick comment about what you called “Breakers” that were mounted on the panel board. Those were not Breakers as in circuit breakers but Contractor's or relays that would apply power to the motors.
Also some of the motors are 3 phase Wound Rotor Motors.(14:43) You can tell them by the 3 Slip Ring on the end of the shaft. To control the speed of the motor you would add or remove the large Grid Resistor to or from the rotor circuit. Its was called Wound Rotor Controller. I use to work or those and SCR speed controls for one of the local coal mine production hoist. I also worked on the underground production conveyors 1500 to 1600 feet down.

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
good morning SWM
SE SD? Taters, taters everywhere
Thank you for the awesome tour, Jeff! I want to go to that area and visit all the mine museums and the Kennicot Copper Mine and Railroad. My favorite place to visit in my home state of Michigan is the Keweenaw copper mining district in the U.P. The Quincy mine is totally awesome...tons of artifacts.
That was cool! I wonder what was in the pockets of that coat hanging on that peg. Maybe those bones were from George and that was his coat. LOL. Looked like there was also a duffel bag or something on one of those levels. That was very cool to see all the shattered timbers and collapse happening. And those specimens at the end were amazing! I'm in the gold country of No CA ... totally different than some of those. Very cool. Thanks, Jeff! - Muddypaw 🐾
Well, Jeff, ya told mr you were gonna show me some of these amazing historical mines, and boy-howdy, didn’t you come through! Great adventure! You went further than I woulda been comfortable with. Thanx so much fer sharin!
always our pleasure my brother
The Ore samples at the end were amazing... Thanks for sharing. Salute.
My pleasure!
Get to the 500ft level "Where's Bowski?"
I enjoyed watching Jeff 🤠⛏️ The mine shaft music reminds me of Final Fantasy. Thanks for sharing with us. God Bless 🙏
really happy to hear that
I'm from the midwest and spent a year working in Tonopah. I loved driving around the desert exploring all of the old mines. Such a different experience that the corn fields I was used to.
Love them safety dogs on side of cages!
Man! Those photos of down that shaft are incredible! So amazing seeing a mine undisturbed and frozen in time.
I know...right
Wow! That was special. Thanks for sharing.
Restoring history how cool is that..another fantastic video Jeff
Omg that rock that was sliced with the band of gold around three sides is amazing do you know how much that was wort 🤷♂
Thanks jeff and wife and slim ive been waiting for a new video. Lol ive been binge watching all of your videos and im happy to be a new paterion stay safe and get real bullets in your guns
Super cool seeing you both younger
Love your knowledge of history with a bit of comedy Jeff. Awsome videos. 👍
🤜🤛 Nice explore Jeff, love the history ! Awesome narration and presentation. Take care and stay safe Sunny Jim, till the next ⛏⚒⛏🍻
Jeff I love when you do these tours of old mines history was always my favorite classes in school
thanks
You know Jeff some of these old mines need to be protected and let someone claim them and restore these great places!
Man... you are a gold magnet.
Well, its good to see that Navada Jack is still alive. Lets gooo!!
A good friend give me that book by Paher and I also have his atlas ghost towns and mining camps by Paher . I love mining history specially Nevada mining history. Thank you Jeff Williams keeping up the great work you do and keeping mining history alive.
you betcha and always our pleasure
We stayed in Tonopah NV at a truck stop across the street from the casino which had an old Big Boy hamburger statue out front
Great video Jeff! I’m glad to see Nevada Jack again! I was wondering where he’s been. I love his all black look.
Keep up the great work! Be safe and smart in those mines.
Take care.
I like the metal chutes!
Much love brother!
Absolutely awesome..!
I think that you got the Gold for your pair of Rings tha Lila and your Self from John .!!
Say hi to Lila and Navada Jack..
I am Pretty sure I have seen this Awesome Video Clips before Years ago my brother.?
Cheers Tony 👍⛏️
So good to see Nevada Jack in this video!! You the man, Jeff!
thanks
Ow, That rock hit my head!
Amazing!!! 😮
Awesome video.👍😎
The city of Butte Montana has almost 10k miles of old workings.. Shafts and tunnels right underneath the houses of the city. Hope they never have a massive earthquake.
Good to see you’re STILL with us, Mario.
Videos aren’t the same without Nevada Jack
Great video, keep up the good Videos!
Another masterpiece uvideo from geologist Jeff Williams. I definitely will tour Tonopah mining park and Virgina City. Would love to see a video on Southern AZ historical mines. I need a place to detect for gold. 🤣
The light socket above the signal buzzer was connected to the buzzer. It flashed with the signal so you could see the signal if the station was too noisy to hear the buzzer or bell.
Thanks again
Been to tonopah twice before I was ever into mining and prospecting. Definitely want to go back this summer. That clown motel cemetery is wild haunted
Awesome
It’s always important to stay as close to the facts as possible to preserve historical accuracy and value. 😊 . Love the old rustic look it still holds today. Thank you and Lila for sharing and believing in the value of past experiences of history 😊
Amazing
So cool thanks for sharing
Very cool I would love to go down in that, 😊😊
That there is an Extended Cut!!!
Great video
Looks like your feeling better im still fighting trying to come back slowly but surely
Nevada doesn't need a haircut lol, that's a very handsome man right there. Absolutely love these videos, looking back in history and those special people trying to preserve it. Great to hear that Nevada Jack was down the shaft with you, hope he wasn't wearing that beautiful trench coat/duster
Imagine how rich that ore had to be to make these mines viable. I also think I know where all of the redwood and douglas fir forests wound up. Theres millions of board feet of timber in those mines alone. Amazing
Did you ever find any gold in the samples taken at the lost wagon wheel gold mine?
damn thats a big piston holy
Too cool
Nice video Jeff, always a great effort and an education in knowledge built up over a lifetime 👍🏻👍🏻🤙🤙.
but that's some depressing montage music... from Doctor Kavorkian's Playlist I suppose 😅😅
any hope of ever bringing back these ol mines back into action? If so would be cool to be a part of something that awesome!
Let`s. go!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷
It's Nevada Jack! been too long
Nevada Jack!!!!
Sunny Jeff happy spring ya varmint you 😂❤
In Oregon. Ive been wanting to get down to that top corner of Nevada and do some prospecting
you will love it my brother
Let’s Goooooo!!!!!!!
