I want to take a minute to appreciate the amount of time, work, and effort that Gly and Laura are putting into making such phenomenal content for this summer exploration season. Thanks Gly and Laura!! It’s been really fun so far.
Gly, I am SO happy watching you and Laura having these great adventures together. You totally deserved to find a partner to explore with you. Laura is also a lucky gal to have found you.
Thank you, Gly and Laura, for another fine exploring video. And speaking of vein structures that are covered or never daylight: My nephew was working on a core drilling crew maybe 20 years ago; they were drilling holes just over a ridge from Folsom Prison in CA. After work one day, the foreman pulled my nephew aside and said I got something to show you. He took him over to where they had the cores and showed him one, said it was from ~1700’ depth. My nephew couldn’t believe it when he saw a 5/8” thick section of the 3” diameter core was solid gold! Probably a fortune down there, but so deep it would take a fortune just to get to it, with no idea of extent, vein direction, strike, etc, but to my nephew it was extremely impressive!
Great video Laura and Gly. If you ever get up towards winnemucca and battle mountain, in between them Santa Fe gold, later to become Newmont gold corp, they were going for just what you were talking about. They claimed that the ore body stretches some 30 miles long. Clear from the twin creeks mine to the lone tree mine and last I knew they were planning on going all the way. Last I heard they had a 100+ year mine life. The ore was sitting approximately 500 feet below the surface and that was an old lake bed. Also, the last I heard Virginia city was still classified as the mother load for the state of Nevada and there is still an amazing amount of gold down in the lower bodies of the old workings but it was just too dangerous to try and go down there to work. There were a few attempts to try and strip mine that area but they were never permitted to do so because it would destroy Virginia city and all of its history. You guys make a terrific team with these videos. Keep up the great work
Thanks Gly and Laura for the weekly adventures. Not sure I would have ventured into that area Laura. As soon as I saw the shims/wedges holding up huge rocks I would have backed out quickly. 🙂
Laura, she lights up everything. Gly lets her lead once in a while. The journey with these two is worth while, makes for fun. Vistas, great view. And the story is. That is the story, the undiscovered resources.
Yay Laura is official! Good job guys, a lot of hiking for little reward but man, they were digging all over in there. You two are working well together. Keep it up!
Joking aside, I startled a Mountain Lion in a 1880's hard rock adit in the Ravenswood District, Northwest of Austin. I didn't think much of it, but there were a few flies at the entrance, so kidding aside, we backed out, sat on a tailing pile at the entrance, and next thing we knew it lept over our head and shot up a canyon. I never was much concerned previously of them, but seeing the size up close, it was pucker factor 10! Stay safe.
You Guys are so lucky , The rest of the world living in congestion and turmoil; and you all living a life of adventure and freedom within mother Nature
I spent five years in Michigan's Upper Peninsula Copper Country. As much copper as was extracted in that area over a hundred years or so, there is so much more. It is very deep and much of it is under Lake Superior between the Keweenaw Peninsula and Isle Royale.
Thanks for another Mid week episode Gly & Laura. And as to your final comments about Gold & Silver & mineral deposits in general, I have often read that there’s MORE still undiscovered and mined than ALL that’s been found so far in all corners of the Globe. All it takes is a bit of luck and patience. Happy Hump Day to everyone 😎👍
“Gly”: This original intro was created 5 years ago and only one year after colon cancer and chemotherapy. Back then I had no feeling in my feet and lower legs due to neuropathy so the mismatched boots is a symbol to my recovery during that time.
I remember long ago you did a campfire session. Might be fun for you two to do one as a Wednesday show. A way to better introduce Laura. Maybe a new intro for Wednesday featuring both of you might be in order also
Gly I glad Laura didn't Clop her foot down and Wennie When you said Harness cause I would busted out she keeped it purely Professional level just me just got out work tired haven't had diner!
The great earth, mysterious, and wonderful and then there's Gly going into and out of a hermit hole. That is so true about the gold and silver that once was on top of a mountain and then it is buried underneath in the mass alluvials of the great basin and range of Nevada.
Awesome video. I wish I could go and look around those places and mountains but I can't. So I just watch you an Laura. I used to drive a truck an seen in from distance. An wondered what was out there. So I'll just keep watching your videos.
Hey! switching out carrying the camera works out pretty nice, espescially when there is a low ceiling adet. (saves on Gly and his back). Its great to see you two as "partners". Loved the "vista view".
Looks like you got yourself into a pretty tight spot this time. I can suggest getting a sky crane for ya lol and yes I also enjoyed those views when I lived in the California mountains by Lake Tahoe. I miss waking up camped on a ridge and seeing for miles and not seeing any houses anywhere near. I can suggest several locations in California in Eldorado national forest if you’re interested. Some had some geological history shown during the ice age or volcanic eruptions that occurred meleniea ago. I found one white granite bolder that looked normal until you got to the back side and then it was hollowed out with a tonsil shaped peace of rock hanging down looking like it was still melting from the nearby lava in a crack in the granite slab it was sitting on. It was around the miess rd and north south roads above a small camp ground dad had fell hazard trees for the forest service for. And another area along the camp creek road ridge line a solid white granite slab with deep gouges cut into it from ice glaciers long ago and it left red lava rocks from red mountain all the way up by highway 88 by silver lake well over a hundred miles or more away however on a clear day standing in that same slab on the ridge you can see red mountain way off in the distance. You will need a 4 wheel drive to get there it’s off alder creek road the first spur on the road it takes off on a horseshoe bend on the main road and goes up the hill. The first clearing is where we camped and the fire pit I dug is still there you can even see it on satellite maps of the area on google maps and alder creek rd is off iron mountain rd now called Mormon immigrant trail. I do miss the mountain country and the tall stands of timber but I don’t miss what California became. Politicians have ruined a very very special place to live that I called home for 43 years and my family called home for 5 generations 4 of which where timber fallers 1 owning his own logging company.southeast Missouri does not have such things but it has its own views though not as vast or as far and no decent timber it’s all hardwood trees oaks maples elms and other varieties. And only a few stunted red cedars and pines
Hello Gly and Laura . Was a neat adventure for a Wednesday! I was hoping you didn’t find or have an encounter with a Nope Rope! Be safe out there see you Saturday! 🙂👍🏻
Sweet little mines. Glad there wasn't a Rattlesnake down there! Maybe there wasn't any sign of copper ore in some of the adits because the vein was only two feet wide and they mined it all out?
Great video, team! Thanks for the geological explanation throughout. You have an excellent point. Who says gold, silver, et al can only be found on dry land, and only in certain areas? There are still billions of dollars worth of solid mass copper in the Keweenaw area of Michigan's U.P. that is just waiting to be dug up.
Good video guys. I was wondering what ever happened to Mr. M that would go with you occasionally? You may have addressed it but I missed it? I was hoping he is still doing good.
Well Gly you’re correct, a lot of people have the misconception that 90% of the gold has been recovered. It’s the opposite and just like you said, technology is inching its way forward to where we can achieve in collecting and processing the gold if and only when it’s economical & environmentally feasible. Heck there’s talks about mining the moon for precious metals. Who knows, maybe in a hundred years it’ll happen. wygold
“Gly”: You may have missed watching the video where we explain how we’re going to film sites and post videos in the coming months. If Wednesday videos aren’t your cup of tea then watch Saturday videos with a higher production value and a more detailed look at the mine. th-cam.com/video/QROj-ryTmZw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fCEebOoFg6rLCuoY
Must say (and this is just One Man's Humble opinion) I prefer the Newer Opening. It's More Epic and Action based, More "Modern". Yes, the Scratching the bum part is Funny, but like the New One Better.
I want to take a minute to appreciate the amount of time, work, and effort that Gly and Laura are putting into making such phenomenal content for this summer exploration season. Thanks Gly and Laura!! It’s been really fun so far.
I am always up for geology lessons during your videos. Thank you for the quick outro lecture about what still remains below us. 👍
looking back through the older episodes I can't believe I have been watching your channel for nearly 4 years, how time flies when your having fun
Gly, I am SO happy watching you and Laura having these great adventures together. You totally deserved to find a partner to explore with you. Laura is also a lucky gal to have found you.

When Laura smiles, it lights up the whole scene!
Yes, Laura has a nice smile!
I agree.

As always loving your videos and appreciate the hard work you put into them.
Also liked the duct tape message on the bottom of Ol Bobs fuel tank!
Thanks Gly and Laura for the weekly adventures. Not sure I would have ventured into that area Laura. As soon as I saw the shims/wedges holding up huge rocks I would have backed out quickly. 🙂
Nice to see you again. Love you both take care. GOD bless you both
Thanks again you two. Stay safe.
Laura, she lights up everything. Gly lets her lead once in a while. The journey with these two is worth while, makes for fun. Vistas, great view. And the story is. That is the story, the undiscovered resources.
Jeff's drift mine is in an alluvial plane that also had an old underground river and his best yields were in a red clay/sand/gravel blend.
Hello Gly and Laura, I am happy to see you added Laura's name to the intro for the Wednesday videos.
Yay Laura is official! Good job guys, a lot of hiking for little reward but man, they were digging all over in there. You two are working well together. Keep it up!

Thank you for all you do
The dynamic duo! Love the shows more than ever!
Good to see you are ok. I've been watching the wars, Keep living the Dream,
34:50 gold silver story.
Fantastic Episode Fly and Miss Laura. You guys are killing it!!!!!! Long time fan.
I spent five years in Michigan's Upper Peninsula Copper Country. As much copper as was extracted in that area over a hundred years or so, there is so much more. It is very deep and much of it is under Lake Superior between the Keweenaw Peninsula and Isle Royale.
I'll agree with Gly, lots of beautiful vistas. Sure miss my old home state. Thanks for another episode Gly and Laura.
Laura, thanks for pointing out the shims! cool!
Loving all these episodes, it’s mine heaven!!
Another wonderful Wednesday! Thanks Laura and Gly!
28:48 It's a boy!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Honoured to send you both a well deserved tip. Keep up the great productions!

Good night you and the man and the woman be safe
gotta admire the decorations under the jeep, lol
Australia Watching , 6am in the morning and having a cupa . Nice episode Gly and Laura very interesting mine and area .
You both so hard for our entertainment and enjoyment of what you come across on your travels so enjoy your escapades keep going love it thankyou❤
Hey there! What is up with the miss matched boots? That didn't get by me. Thanks for a nicer Wednesday!!😎
“Gly”: This original intro was created 5 years ago and only one year after colon cancer and chemotherapy. Back then I had no feeling in my feet and lower legs due to neuropathy so the mismatched boots is a symbol to my recovery during that time.
Awesome explore today. Thanks to you lovely folks I got to go along again. You guys stay safe and keep an eye out for those rattlers.
I remember long ago you did a campfire session. Might be fun for you two to do one as a Wednesday show. A way to better introduce Laura. Maybe a new intro for Wednesday featuring both of you might be in order also
Remember man who goes to bed with itchy butt wakes up with stinky fingers
Gotta love the vista’s, on a clear day you see forever!
Gly I glad Laura didn't Clop her foot down and Wennie When you said Harness cause I would busted out she keeped it purely Professional level just me just got out work tired haven't had diner!

There's gold just floating around in the oceans too. Scrooge McDuck was using a large bell to recover it back when I was a kid. 🤑
I love the twice weekly videos!
As soon as you said alluvial I heard TREMORS
Awesome video. I wish I could go and look around those places and mountains but I can't. So I just watch you an Laura. I used to drive a truck an seen in from distance. An wondered what was out there. So I'll just keep watching your videos.
Nice sermon on the end..
Hey! switching out carrying the camera works out pretty nice, espescially when there is a low ceiling adet. (saves on Gly and his back). Its great to see you two as "partners". Loved the "vista view".
Thus makes me so freaking hapoy 🥰
I still think Gly needs to stuff a couple of hand warmer packets in that tennis ball. Snakes track heat.. ;-)
We used carbide lamps in the 70's to explore the Gold Queen mine off of Bacchus Road in Mojave County. Now it is an open pit.

Listen, there's a snake in my boot!
Sorry for looking at your junk...Was just checking out Bob's drive shaft 🙃Good to see ya back, and cheers to a safe season!
Thx Laura n gly !
Hello Gly and Laura . Was a neat adventure for a Wednesday! I was hoping you didn’t find or have an encounter with a Nope Rope! Be safe out there see you Saturday! 🙂👍🏻
Rob Huntington Beach love you guys
Happy Wednesday! Love the views
Sweet little mines. Glad there wasn't a Rattlesnake down there! Maybe there wasn't any sign of copper ore in some of the adits because the vein was only two feet wide and they mined it all out?
As the old timers used to say... there is much more gold in that there ground then was ever taken out. Good show.
13:38 just looks like that block is hanging only by the wood
Your comments are fine as they are, just keep going as you are doing, take care both of you.
Great video, team! Thanks for the geological explanation throughout. You have an excellent point. Who says gold, silver, et al can only be found on dry land, and only in certain areas? There are still billions of dollars worth of solid mass copper in the Keweenaw area of Michigan's U.P. that is just waiting to be dug up.
At 21:22 when you picked up that rock and commented on crystals, were those Garnet?
Thank you.
Do you ever get any turquoise out of those mines?
Good video guys. I was wondering what ever happened to Mr. M that would go with you occasionally? You may have addressed it but I missed it? I was hoping he is still doing good.
cute suspension accessory dose ducky act as a bump stop lol
Thanks for the good Wednesday explore video. Backing into a hole would not be a good way to find a rattle snake.
So TRUE!
To The Adits band: Hey I Like Your Music ! Thank You !🌞🎻🎸 Sandy
Love the geology lesson! ❤🇦🇺
Bottles and cans just clap your hands!
Haha, at 29:00 I just watched a mountain give birth to a Gly Coolness.
Watching this as I'm waiting out a tornado that's passing😅
I need to change my Alexa reminder it still reminds me of "Gly's Shorts" every Wednesday..
You would love eastern Washington for the vista's we can see half the state.
Good to see Rubber Ducky and your hula Dancer !!
When it comes to rattlesnakes? I noticed you let Laura lead the way.
OooOoo there's a snake 🐍 in my boot😬🫨
The dead end mine Gly and Laura 😊
If you could, put the technical names on the screen. Examples: Christa cola? Or adit? Thanks
Well Gly you’re correct, a lot of people have the misconception that 90% of the gold has been recovered. It’s the opposite and just like you said, technology is inching its way forward to where we can achieve in collecting and processing the gold if and only when it’s economical & environmentally feasible.

wygold
Gly, you are one ultra-prepared guy. this is probably an "of course" answer, but do you carry any snake bite kit?
“Gly”: Yes I do, it’s in my backpack. 🎒👍
were is the snake???
kOMENTÁŘ K PODPOŘE KANÁLU NEMŮŽE UŠKODIT .. Hodně štěstí v dalším životě. 😄😉 N.W.
Are you sure you didn't happen onto an unfinished Pyramid Laura???
What's that red stuff I seen on the ground
“Gly”: You might be seeing iron from the limonite deposits.
I wouldn't find my way out. I've seen a video of around six explorers get into panic mode lol it's not funny for long.
I used to enjoy watching your shows but now you got more and more of just walking straight through it you never stop and show the timbers or nothing
“Gly”: You may have missed watching the video where we explain how we’re going to film sites and post videos in the coming months. If Wednesday videos aren’t your cup of tea then watch Saturday videos with a higher production value and a more detailed look at the mine. th-cam.com/video/QROj-ryTmZw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fCEebOoFg6rLCuoY

90% of all the gold on earth is still right where God put it.
Must say (and this is just One Man's Humble opinion) I prefer the Newer Opening. It's More Epic and Action based, More "Modern". Yes, the Scratching the bum part is Funny, but like the New One Better.
“Gly”: I save the new intro for Saturdays so everyone gets a weekly taste of old and new per their request.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces That's a Great Idea!

I said that too and got deleted....
Smells like TH-cam clicks.
Just take the add cash we all can watch a add
I have a feeling Laura is good looking, but it is hard to tell with all the gear.
Its called "mountain casual".
🎉
“Gly”: The first to comment! 🏆
