Abandoned Fish Ladder at Clear Creek in Redding, California
Abandoned fish ladder at the old Saeltzer Dam at Clear Creek in Redding, California. I thought this was a Abandoned mine due to how the end looked.

Abandoned Mines Near Keswick, CA
มุมมอง 7995 หลายเดือนก่อน
There is no information about these mines, besides the 1896 railroad grade above the mines. 1 we we’re able to go inside, the other was too small to squeeze through. If I can dig it open to squeeze through, there will be a part 2. There was also another adit but it was covered with brush…Explored with Jeremy Tuggle. #abandoned #abandonedplaces #mineexploring #mining #norcal #redding #reddingca ...

Abandoned Mines Near French Gulch, CA

Ever climbed up an ore pass of an abandoned mine before? Not too many people have. An ore pass is a vertical or inclined passage for the downward transfer of ore connecting to a lower level of a mine connecting with an ore chute/ore shoot. We were expecting these mines to be gated or collapsed. Explored with Jeremy Tuggle. #MineExploring #Abandoned #Mining #ShastaCounty #ShastaCountyHistory #Sh...
Three Sisters Mine in Shasta County, CA

Located within the French Gulch Mining District. The mine has a rich historical background that dates from 1895 to 1905. The main mine is collapsed but was able to find 4 adits that we’re open. 1 went in about 700ft. Mined for Quartz, Pyrite and Gold. #abandoned #abandonedmine #abandonedplaces #california #gold #history #mineexploration #mineexploring #mines #mining #shastacounty #frenchgulchca...
Abandoned Gold mine in Shasta County, CA

Abandoned Gold mine found out in the woods Geocaching. Goes in 25ft and faces out. Found some old timber inside. There's a area that was mined and maybe a spot for the water tank and air tank. Hiked around the area and came across some interesting quartz veins in the rocks. Lots of mining in the area that dates back to the late 1800's.

Abandoned Gold mine in the Whiskeytown National Recreation area. No information anywhere on this mine.

i live like 5 min from clear creek i should check this out....................
I’m a gold miner from NorCal Humboldt area shout out to The New 49rs!!!
How do you get in the other side?
Come up in Siskiyou county
I grew up near this dam. Every year someone would die due to getting caught in an undertow. Still, it's a damn shame they tore it out.
Been in there more times than I can count always had to swim in due to being too fat for the top entrance
I have been watching a lot of your videos. I am down the road a bit near Yosemite. I got a question . Has there ever been a mine that was too sketchy to even go in?
In the past yeah, plenty, but in recent decades the fun police have done a good job of plugging them all up or caving them in.
@wendellsmith1349 Yes, a lot of them but I still go in them even though I shouldn't. I've found lots of ore carts and dynamite. There's a mine I plan on recording soon that has sticks in a box at the entrance here in Shasta County.
How Fishy!
You can get in threw the water. We use to swim in the other side all the time and hold our breaths and swim in there. Never knew there was another way in there.
Creepy as hell!
As high school kids we went through this fish ladder back when it was in use, a bit scary but quite the adventure.
Great video, interesting to see this. Thanks for sharing, Ryan.
Back in the early 70's i was exploring the highland ridge road area by my house and i came upon an old metal cigar box sitting upright propped up by rocks like it was on display. I opened it and found a mining claim from just before the war with the guys name on it. I should have put it back in the can and put it back where i found it so others could have seen it but i took it home and lost it over the years. It had lasted there over 30 years undisturbed until i found it. We had a ranch further up the road. i think the road name is lost bridge rd. Anyways there was a gold mine on our property and we got water for our house from it. It was always flooded with water. I never went inside to see how far back it went. it was because the water was pretty deep. I've been thinking where this one you're exploring and it looks like its around the tom green mine rd area
Used to go gold mining with my dad. Dad had friends that offered to have us go out to their mine out off desert center out towards eagle mountains and or something. I don't quite remember but Eagle Mountain Desert Center area are well captured in my mind.. My father's friend parents owned the whole damn town. It was pretty cool. They had a copper sift table that was huge and everything including Dynamite was there. It's super awesome to do that. What an experience!
I actually worked in a active underground gold mine in the French gulch. Bullion river gold Corp in 05..... amazing place .
Thank you guys for exploring out there in French Gulch. Next to my property in Keswick there is an old silver mine.
@@spc4brownie Your welcome! Is the Silver Mine abandoned?
@@RyanHammon it appeared abandoned. I went there about 20 years ago and was chased out by who we assumed was the property owner.
It was a old gold mine, I was a guard there back in the early 80's. The owners there were Cooksly geophysics. I went into that mine and caught one of the rattle snakes and took it home for my two sons to play with. It was a good size mine about 2 or 3 hundred acres. I shot a few deer there. The snake was good too.
i lived there in the gulch in the early 70's. I knew a guy who worked a mine i think it was up french gulch rd. His name is joe wool. Ever heard of him?
Was just exploring a mine on the far western border of shasta county. Some rich findings on the tailing unfortunately the mines have collapsed due to it being in a extremely remote and rugged area. But brought back some cool rock specimens. Most likely copper and nickel, mixed with iron ore tailings. Mostly copper.
There are supposed to be some good gold panning spots out at French Gulch as well. The Carr Fire hit the place pretty damned hard. 😔
Awesome! Do more with Tuggle!
What camera did you use? Very clear! You could use any form of gimbal.
Hell yeah!
When I get home I need to start editing and releasing the videos I made with you guys that day. Good episode.
Great episode my friend! I can’t wait to get back out there with you.
Awesome!
hell yeah dude!! I post my mine explorations on my channel too
Sick explore video I love exploring places like this!
My grandfather, Harold Harris, had a mine in French Gulch in the 1960's. I remember visiting him. He had a cabin on what seemed like a river. (I was pretty little then). I remember going to the river to get a bucket of water.
So they were mining gold and quartz you said? Definitely colorful I will give you that🫡😉
Jeeze, looks there are a lot of little mines around that place! That looks like its the Three Sisters if I'm not mistaken.
No but I have a video posted on the area for the Three Sisters mine. This is West of French Gulch turn off
@@RyanHammon Nice!
You need to invest in better lighting for mine exploring video.
Do you know of any good lighting I can use?
Camera Panel light from Amazon will do.@@RyanHammon
Jeremy, from Exploring Shasta County History! Awesome to see you link up with a real historian of the area.
That vein looks promising
Quartz stringers and "yellow" denoting Lemonite. Apparently those miners were seeking gold. Neat that you found these two portals. Thanks for sharing.
That is spelled limonite. It is a sedimentary rock that is principally iron. It is usually a distinct off red/brown color (caused by the oxidation of iron), with a slight to modest yellow color hue. It can be gold bearing. I do see that in small deposits in your case. The yellows are probably sulfur related. And yes, sulfur can also be gold related; both having to do with thermochemical (very deep hot mineral laden water that is forced to the surface) delivery of gold carried by water as it makes it's way upwards. These metals also travel in the presence of feldspar (quartz is one type of many) type materials. In searching for these things, a metal detector specifically calibrated to find gold (like a Falcon) would be a good place to start. The problem is, many times the thermochemical gold is a sulfide variety, which makes it's recovery difficult and expensive. But, sometimes free gold (which is not a sulfide) can be found in these mixes, and that can be recovered fairly easily.
Good job honey ❤👏🏻

I love this video, baby. You are so talented 💖 I am so damn proud of you, honey for chasing your dreams and following your passion ❤️ ✨️ You are such an absolute light in my life! I love you more than anything 💛 😊
Thanks babe! I love you too! Something I love doing.
Really cool!
Those are promising looking mines! To me!
Wow! I am familiar with this area. I am not certain where we were at, but it was a dirt road hugging the side of the hill near French Gulch..... I sure miss my jeep.... anyways, the friend, who was with me, was standing at the edge of a cave and peering in. OMG! He fell in! He was about 6' 3" and over 200 lbs... I am 5' 7" and 120 lbs.... I was a toothpick..LOL I can laugh now. I had to pull him out. Great adventure, guys!
Here's my article/blog on the El Dorado mine for those who are interested. The pictures were taken years before Ryan's video was made. Enjoy, it here: exploringshastahistory.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-el-dorado-mine-on-mill-creek.html
Good stuff.
Awesome, video. I haven’t even started editing mine yet. Watching Robert slide down that slope was great action! Lol 😂.
