Thanks for visiting the #ButteWMM! I was a mine tour guide there for a couple of years, and now do some work with them for their social media! I HIGHLY recommend doing the mine tour next time you visit, it's a "blast"! ;)
I’m hooked on the video simply because well for two reasons I like the place you travel to, but the most important reason I love your diet the donuts and strawberry chocolate milk takes the prize so far lol have fun safe travels.
Sydnie, That job at the time working in confined places was no joke, thanks to the men that still do that type of work, plus being brought up like sardines packed in a can, nope nope. That old town sure is full of a lot forgotten history. Thanks for Sharing
I think it's great that you love working with metal. I was a Tool & Die Maker for much of my early working life. I worked with a lot of metal in a machine shop. That circular sink with the soap dispenser in the center in that dry room brought back a lot of memories. We had one and we'd crowd around the sink, step on the foot pedal that released the water, and wash up at the end of our shift. I was a history major in college so this was an episode that I especially enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.
Nice job Sydnie. That was an interesting video to watch history on display in such a short tour of a mining camp. Glad that you took the time to make this one. Your editing work is wonderful and doesn't go unnoticed. Don't worry about not responding to my comments, I know you like reading them because I'm not a cyber bully. 😊
Very interesting tours the gem and neon exhibits were neat. I wonder what the dentist did for pain then , maybe whisky and beer chaser too lol. Very interesting tour , still trying to figure how ten men fit in those cages LOL Thanks for taking us along , hope you have an awesome Week.
Copper is the main product of Butte now. I got to Butte about 3 times a year for work. It was nice to see where I go on the "richest hill" on earth. With that said, all the times I have been there, I have never been to the Museum. I'm going now!
Sydnie, what a great video, loved the music at the beginning! I work with steel and have always been interested in the mining aspect of the raw materials. Awesome video! Wish I could donate to the channel!
That toxic mine/pit, is that the one that has a fish and wildlife technician guarding the edge of it for migratory birds? There is one in the that area (if I remember correctly) who has a technician that sits at the entrance of the pit with a rifle to scare them off so they dont get sick or killed from the toxxic water. Also, pretty funny watch you "geek out" over your old profession.
I would have never pictured you for mining. I admit I forget that is still an occupation in some areas. Missouri was never a major mining state even though we did have what was considered "dirty coal". It was fun watching you relive part of your life which you enjoyed at least the welding part of it. Once you are ready to settle back down, you can get back into welding and go to trade school for it. The only thing I would have wanted to know is where the ore was shipped to once it was dug up. Butte was a very prosperous town back then and glad it still exist since many of those mining towns become ghost towns. As for responding to comments, take your time. I know you mentioned in one of my responses that you are only one week ahead unless you were able to get further recently. Now I know what you do with the pics you take since you uploaded them to Instagram. It wouldn't surprise me you got over 200 pictures to upload.
It is a strange world, now with cyberspace, and social media everywhere. A quick comment, I have respect for you working for a Mining Company. All miners need to be respected for the dangerous job they do.
I would recommend looking up the youtube channel Ghost Town Living if you enjoy mining history. That's mainly about the Cerro Gordo ghost town and everything that happened with that mine and town in the 1800s. He also hikes around to other smaller mines.
If ever in Pennsylvania they have many closed mines you can explore even the Pittston mine disaster site and Centralia where the town us still burning underneath
@@minelifemediallc ACTUALLY I found a list of 21 minerals that were mined in the Butte area.. feel free to look it up and post all 21 minerals … if you’re gonna correct someone do it properly.
@@guaporeturns9472 I was only listing the major ones lol just was saying more than copper! Copper gets all the love but Butte mines supplied a lot of different commodities! And if I was ACTUALLY correcting, I would have answered the original question of what "mineral" was being mined in Butte, not "metal". But there were so many different ore minerals!
Lived in Butte all my life. My dad did underground tours at the museum for a couple years. He graduated from Tech, and spent 30 years working in mines. Butte is kind of going to hell though. Lots of drugs, homeless people and theft.
I grew up in Boulder. Butte was the big city we shopped in. When I was 7, in 1975, I saw a huge man beat and kick a chinese guy almost to death. Kicked him unconscious for minutes while the crowd cheered him. Apparently pretty common then. To say Butte has gone downhill forgets that it's always been rough. After that beating, my parents preferred to shop in Helena
The mine's isolation from the rest of the hill prompted the name of the Orphan Girl, affectionately nicknamed “Orphan Annie” or “the Girl.” An adjacent shaft was named the Orphan Boy to give her some company.
Gardner-Denver is still in business today. At work, we have 3 of their large air compressors. I think they merged with Ingersoll Rand, another well known air compressor company. Now there is some useless information for you.

Love your channel! But I must say….Go Hoos!!!! 😊
gokies!!!
That was so interesting and to know you worked in the mining industry is so cool!!!
Amazing! Would be on my bucket list down the line, some of my siblings goes to Tech!

I love mining history so much. I'm glad I'm able to share with everyone.
Thank you for another nice and interesting video. Ron/Sweden

That was a nice tour, I like seeing things and places I would like to go see personally. See you in the next video.

Born and raised in Butte, America.

Oh thanks for the idea!
What mineral was mined in Butte?
Copper
Butte is known for its copper, but it actually mined silver, manganese, lead, molybdenum, and even a bit of gold!

Did you happen to get the story behind the name “orphan girl mine”?
The mine's isolation from the rest of the hill prompted the name of the Orphan Girl, affectionately nicknamed “Orphan Annie” or “the Girl.” An adjacent shaft was named the Orphan Boy to give her some company.

Walmart and a toxic pit? Hmmm.
The most American sentence I ever read
You gorgeous thing.
