  • This 1920's silver mine has it all. Artifacts, beautiful mineral vein, tram buckets, interesting workings and a great hike to get there. After hiking up a canyon/wash we exit the canyon on a road that goes to the mine. Near the mine are the remnants of an old camping trailer which must have been home to one of the miners. The trailer looked home made and had wood spoked wheels. We found a couple of interesting items at the trailer.
    At the mine we found a beautifully timbered portal with a wood door that was in great condition. The mine workings consist of drifts, crosscuts and raises. We worked our way to the top of the mine through the stopes. The mineral vein is spectacular and one of the most interesting we have seen. The ore shipments averaged 15.5% lead and 10 ounces of silver /ton. There was also zinc, copper and gold taken in smaller amounts.
    Further down the mountain is a lower tram terminal where we found three tram buckets and a loading station where trucks would have been loaded with ore.
    We had a great time exploring this one and hope that you enjoy watching the video!

    That Sunny Brook whisky bottle looks like the label they used around 1941 on their 4 year old stock. It was bottled by National Distillery under their Medicinal Spirits umbrella. Sunny Brook was popular in the early 1900s. Beam bought National Distillery in 75' but the brand is no longer made.

    I have watched several different exploring channels and one thing I've noticed you all have in common, you look at, pick up, take pictures of all these artifacts and then you carefully replace them where you found them, I think that is terrific with you finding and leaving them.

    • @TomandJulieMineExploring
      @TomandJulieMineExploring  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Not only do we replace them but I like to add to the artifacts if something pops up that is buried under collapsed timbers or dirt. That exact thing happened on a return visit to this mine after I made this video. We found a Mobil Gargoyle oil can underneath a bunch of stuff, a cool coffee pot that was outside on the waste rock pile, another Prince Albert tobacco can and a nice can with a removable lid. All are inside the mine now. Thanks for the comment, Dennis!

    Thanks Tom and Julie! I love your curiosity and your gentle mutual rapport. Hey, just wondering, have you ever considered grabbing a sample of the vein and having it assayed, just for historical value? The Cerro Gordo guy occasionally smelts his rocks... but in his case, he owns the property. Anyway, thanks for sharing! Like one commenter said "we explore vicariously" through you. 🥰

    • @TomandJulieMineExploring
      @TomandJulieMineExploring  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad that you enjoyed the explore, Glen. I could take samples if I know that particular mine doesn't have an active claim on it. Most times though the miners already took what they thought was valuable, so even though a vein looks nice doesn't mean there is anything there. Still a good idea you have. Thanks for the comment!👍👍

I was stationed at White Sands NM from 1963 through 1965 and had the opportunity to explore a mine in the Organ Mountains and also a few other mines on base. One mine extracted garnets for sandpaper. One of my most favorite memories. ❤❤❤😁😁😁

      Hello Mark - I did the Bataan Memorial Death March event as a 26 mile ruck march out at White Sands in 2004 and 2005 and part of the route took us past the remains of some old mine workings, maybe the same ones you're talking about. I fell in love with that part of the country as well as West Texas. It's about as different from Southwestern Pennsylvania as you can get but I feel almost spiritually connected to the desert out there (not to get all hippie on ya, haha).

    Hello again, Tom & Julie. Thank goodness for Blue Hard Hats; Julie tested hers very rigorously and came out the winner! Really enjoy the way y’all traverse every passageway that’s feasible to do; gives us the unique adventure that you are experiencing. Thank you so much for doing this as I am too old & live too far away (North Central Texas) to travel out there. At 3:17, the Homemade Camp Trailer with Wooden-Spoked Wheels was a fantastic sight. 4:05, Ball Hitch with Hand Crank Screw to lock Ball in position. Haven’t seen that type before. 5:14, thought it might be a Nail Polish Bottle. 7:41, thinking a Funnel but there are 2 small holes near filler opening, so it wouldn’t work because of leaking. Possibly an Exhaust Pipe because curved pipe on top looks discolored from heat. 8:36, neat handle. 18:31-21:45, Veining in Cave Walls is truly remarkable. Astonished by what Mother Nature can produce for our viewing pleasure! 36:40, Fantastic view emerging from Cave. 37:13, last look at amazing Door & Rail Track. Great Picture. 39:13, Homemade Tram Bucket. I like innovative thinkers! Tom & Julie, another outstanding video, even with the ‘hard knocks’. Keep Safe & Healthy!!

    Sheesh, that has got to be the most slapdash, Jerry-rigged, haphazard, ramshackle mine I've ever seen. Most of the time I can maintain a mental map of the mine workings as you advance through the mine, but I was completely lost in this one. Should call it the corkscrew mine.
    And that vein! Wow! Even more exciting that it was high-grade silver. Between the artifacts and mine workings, this was one of the more interesting mine explores. Thanks again for sharing!

    The view into Nevada, very nice. Being from Michigan, I have recently acquired a "passion" for the Nevada landscape and the potential for adventure. Mountain climbing, scrambling, ghost towns, mines, the amount of public land available to explore just to name a few, among many.
    This adventure was just as fun as the others I've watched. However, the video & still images of the colors in the mine caught a fair amount of my attention. Many of the locations were reminiscent of impressionist/expressionist/abstract paintings which I have seen.

    Interesting bit I learned from an old mill, those belt pulley's either are slightly domed in the center of the belt travel or flat. The dome ones keep the belt centered on the pulley (from sliding off). The flat ones are idler pulleys to engauge or tension the running belts.

      @TomandJulieMineExploring  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I have seen the domed type. This one looked flat so was possibly a tensioner as you mentioned.

    Well Tom Julie seemed ready to go today! And I have to admit, Julie has such a beautiful voice! In passed videos she has done voice over stuff and she really has a voice good enough for radio! In the mine she needs to speak a little louder! Love you guys!

    • @TomandJulieMineExploring
      @TomandJulieMineExploring  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      She doesn't like hearing her own voice even though I am always telling her how pleasant it is. I really think she could have been a voice over person. We are working on getting a remote microphone for her if she doesn't speak up a little. Thanks for the nice comment, Steven! 👍👊

    How in the world did you not get lost with all those twists and turns you made through those stopes and drifts? I was so turned around I couldn't find my kitchen to get a snack. Well at least you got out of that death shaft where you were free climbing down those rock bashed ladders after running out of rope. When Julie broke that rung on the ladder 400 ft. above the bottom of the shaft my heart jumped and I fell off the couch. Got lucky though, it was only a foot to the floor. But I must admit I have not seen colors like you filmed since Timothy Leary died. The minerals in the rock formations were Beautiful. Glad you made it out alive.
