GREAT CHANNEL... ALSO WATCH ALOT OF (BILL BARLEY R.I.P) GOLD TRAILS & GHOST TOWNS.. B-SAFE FRANK!! GREAT WORK HUGE FAN HERE..FROM EAST VAN..BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLUMBIA....LUV OUR PROVINCE..COUNTRY... TO ALL THAT GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE & TO ALL THAT SERVED SO WE COULD HAVE OUR FREEDOM MUCH RESPECT!!! ( VAN EAST- 4-LYF )..
Awesome! I was just on the other side of that hill sledding! Wish I would have known about this before I would have tried to check it out! I’m defiantly going to go back when snow melts to check this out!
Like you said , jaw dropping country , beautiful country... Wish I was there ..I looked into the lights you use and I found myself buying the TC 20.. Wow that is quite the light.. Well done on the filming , very good..
@@exploringabandonedmines Thanks , i did do that works fine .. I have a SureFire that is the same , i just unscrew it 1/3 of a turn and it's off..I like that idea..
This video, is by far, my favorite! Not only the mountain views, but the colors in that one adit! WOW! Just frickin amazing! Thank you for sharing! I'm living vicariously through you! LOL!
Another master piece i can not wait for a Thursday here in Australia to see your latest adventure. Really beautiful country it was great to see the top of the ridges. And inside of those mines were spectacular with all the colors. Thank you again Frank for your efforts to bring us places most of us will never see. Please stay safe we love your work.
Lead oxide is white, silver oxide is black, copper oxide is blue, and of course iron oxide is rust. Great video, and beautiful country, thanks for taking us along on your adventure.
Hey Frank, Keep up the good work i really like watching your videos, out of all the videos that i have seen on old mines your videos are the best, you well go in to place that no one eils well go. And your not crazy you just know your shit, i worked in a open pit copper mine for 11 years as a shovel operation in the pit but be safe and keep up with the good videos. David here in tucson
this was back when i was 4-5 but we had a cabin near trout lake and some old miner showed up and asked my dad and i if we could take him up to a old mine he worked in, so we hopped on the quads and followed him haha
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
@Landon Jay i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Keep doing what you're doing Frank. It's clearly your passion and I never thought I'd ever be interested in exploring mines. The journey you take your viewers on is very special and unique, makes me feel like I'm right there with you brother. Stay safe and keep it up!
The silver cup and trinity worked the same ore body; (They didn't know it until they got to the top of the mountain) High grade silver/lead, next was copper and little gold. At the headwaters of the Gerard river. Cool spawning grounds. But, there are adits all the way from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley. Plus all the single drift miners camps/workings. Beautiful area. I cherrish the day that I stood on top of that mountain, looking down on the eagles flying. There was still year round ice, but I see that it looks like it is gone. It was so cool to see the water running thru the blue blue ice. If you are exactly where I think you are, you wont find any bats up there. You should (Or should have) been able to see the bug 'a boos too. At least some of them.
What a beautiful area to explore. Amazing where people mined in the past. Crazy they are. My husbands grandfather has a gold claim in Ophir, Colorado. He sold it to the Gold King mining Company and bought a ranch. Sucker for hard work too. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, that location is epic, bet not too many wonder up there! Never seen silver ore before in place. love how the drift twists right over with the strata.
That is amazing views trails adventure again Frank. Your blessed to have such a beautiful playground. They were hardy souls back then now with helicopters modern clothes boots tools cabins it be easier. With so much left behind & may be waiting to be found may be it will be a mine again some day. Stay safe love your explores adventures you keep amazing us wit them presenting style humour best regards from Ireland 👍☘🇮🇪
Re: your wish to find a drift that exits on the other side of a mountain: I have seen a side view sketch of the Payne showing the drifts and raises and there appeared to be several that originated on the Sandon side of Payne Mt. and were open to the western leg of McGuigan gulch. There are the remains of a road down the east side that might still be accessable. More interesting might be an account I read that I can't recall where, that there's a quite long drift going through the mountain above the Silver Star and exiting above the drainage to Silverton. Memory suggests that was the Carnation mine. In Martin J Wells' "Tramway Titan the author states the " in 1925 the English Victoria Syndicate bought rights to the property and proceeded to drive a half mile tunnel to the western side of the mountain" If that were still open it would be a remarkable Sandon to Silverton bore. What a walk that would be. Thanks for all hat coverage of the Triune mines. I never made it much past the second switchback. I have however a book indicating the tram system there from the Triune to just short of Ferguson.
Mike you are all over the place. You are commenting on a video at Trout lake far from Sandon. The Silver Star and Carnation are mines near Sandon but on the opposite sides of the valley from Mt. Payne
@@exploringabandonedmines Stay with me, it'll make sense, I swear. :) In your voiced narrative while exploring the Triune mine (Trout lake) you mentioned that you'd like to see a mine that goes right through a mountain and out the other side (or I thought I heard words to that effect). In response I referenced a Sandon mine, the Payne, on the mountain of the same name. I can't remember at this moment just where is the sketch I saw that shows tunneling on several levels, most of which punch through to the east face of Payne. I mentioned it just as an example of a drift(s) going right through a mountain. I wish I could find that drawing. The other example I offered, the Carnation was as you say, on the opposite side of Sandon. I ought to have been more clear that in that case I was offering an entirely separate example to that of the Payne, of a mine that tunnels right through a mountain. (and in this case the tunnel is said to be half a mile long!) I've only seen a couple of references to it in books but it has intrigued me. I think I saw it's eastern end as being part of the Carnation mine, but I could well be mistaken. Again you've made a very good video on the Triune mine. That bull wheel for the tram was quite a find. Per 'Tramway Titan' that was a Riblet tram, completed in 1902 in 3 months for $20,000. Historian Milton Parent wrote of the tramway suffering tremendous difficulty with terrain and weather. "...An inspection team sent out in May found numbers 3 and 7 towers (of 8) had been carried away and in so doing the cable had jumped off the remaining towers and was in many places and for hundreds of feet, buried in snow..." In 1905 following the loss of the small feeder tram to another slide, the Triune mine was abandoned. Considering the filled bags you found, of unknown relative value ore, it sounds as though the miners might have counted on bringing the sacks down via tram and when this conveyance was lost they just said the hell with it, leave them where they lay, we're out of here. :) I imagine I would. I wonder if that strongly built platform you recorded wasn't the upper gantry structure for the tram bull wheel, and that an avalanche didn't hit one or more towers causing the cable to rip the bull wheel off its anchorage in mere seconds, like slamming a door to pull a tooth with fishing line? Oh to be a fly on the wall and to see that! Was the bull wheel at rest in a place that would support this idea? Thanks.
Thanks Frank, for sharing your adventures, I watch a lot of minding TH-cam videos, Yours are the best. Sometimes as I watch, I think maybe your a little nuts as you rope down theses deep shafts. But I see you as a professional. Be safe and keep your adventures coming.
"Lessee, what'll we do today?" "Hmm...how 'bout tackling glacier country?" "That's as far as the 4-wheeler can go." "No prob. We'll walk, then." "But the trail's gone." "Just follow that rope." "But all the mines are down there." "No point in climbing a mountain range w/o hitting the peak, right?" "Why?" "Why, because it's there, of course!" "Onward & upward it is, then!" U never disappoint, Frank, & continually up yr game. Breathtaking, oft-inaccessible country, but if there's an adit up there, u'll sniff it out! Luv the soda-straw snot shingles, ribbon rock, abandoned artifacts, & rich deposits w/their varied colors. How on earth did they get that wheel up there? Hauled parts assembled on-site?
Way cool. Its been many years since I've been up there. If you go to the top, there is a BIG cliff, and the trinity is on the other side. Way cool story to that one.
Frank another hit out of the park with this one - - the scenery is just awesome and there seems to be considerable mineralization still remaining. I think you answered one of your first questions about how they dealt with the snow and the short season where the mines are actually accessible with the sacks you found. They mined and stored then shipped when the conditions allowed access. The colors inside the mine shafts were fantastic and while I imagine some want to see a fleck of gold in the quartz the beauty of this to me is someone chipped and chiseled these shafts by hand - - what you walked and crawled through in minutes someone took months if not years to carve out. Men lived and worked in primitive conditions without modern aids like the lights you were displaying. I've seen explorations where you found air powered jack hammers which are game changers when it comes to boring into a mountainside which makes you appreciate what the old time miners went through all the more. There is just something inspiring about unspoiled nature - - I commented before on my adventures in Arizona and finding old maps and trying to locate all kind of things on those maps that aren't on new maps from Indian ruins to mines to the remains of ghost towns and old homesteads - - of course hunting and just being out doors - - its the memories that are the real treasure. Too bad I didn't have the technology to record things back then but the video of the day was Super 8 movies and Polaroids for pictures
I can't remember if you filmed goin back to get the bat monitor or not. Seen a ton of your videos in the 2 years. This was about the time we got our shirt and hoody. About time to order some more.
My dad told me of a mine near Keremeos that went right through one hill side and out the other. I'm not sure if its still there or where, but he remembers going through it 40 years or so ago.
Beautiful country. That’s crazy for them to take out the roads. Now they can’t show everyone how beautiful Their country is. And how is your leg doing, nothing keeps you down.
You have gone to the places physically, that my mind wandered and wondered about. I'm a big explorer type, but I can tell my body energy would have halted and not gone where you did...lol. Thank you for sharing your amazing view.
I really recommend checking out the Streamlight PROTAC HL® 5-X. It's got good output and great battery life. It runs on two 18650 button tops and has a wonderful rubberized grip.
Hi Frank. Glad to see you are still at it. Missed exploring last year because of any injury sustained hiking into a mine. Missed this year for other reasons. Oh well, the mines around Peachland will still be there next year. Ron
@@exploringabandonedmines Finding them is usually not too big of a problem. If they are collapsed, oh well. At least I wasn't in it when it happened! It is a bit of a dangerous hobby.
Thank you, Frank, for bringing myself, and others, such a beautiful video, of not only spectacular mine exploration footage, but gorgeous looking alpine-like scenery. I live in a small town (Maidstone, Kent) in the south of England, U.K. and seeing these sort of videos that you produce, makes for fascinating viewing. Keep up the great work my friend.
That's wow country knockout view .. It makes me wonder how many months a year they could mine up at the altitude? Supplies in the winter months would be very difficult to bring in if even it could be done .. Bat monitors just gather up data of how many bat's flew into the mine ? I had never heard about them before or just what their use is .. Do you do Bat studies for science to help them by recording the numbers .. I just thought it was interesting ..It had to have been a very difficult task just to get the equipment up to the mine , no light weight equipment back then. Well done , i like this one , makes me want to go visit it ..
I love exploring mines...
From the safety and comfort of my couch.
Thanks, Frank.

I have bought 3. they are good. Just unscrew it when not in use the switch is a pain.
@@exploringabandonedmines Thanks , i did do that works fine .. I have a SureFire that is the same , i just unscrew it 1/3 of a turn and it's off..I like that idea..
Hi there, Very nice country up there, for sure. (would love to see a Griz hangin about, LOL)
They are up there but they do their best to avoid people.
Wow, that is really majestic country, with highly mineralized ore in the mines, great video, thanks again Frank..!
Thank you for the content Frank. Beautiful country and beautiful ore as well . Keep safe and keep up the great work .
This video, is by far, my favorite! Not only the mountain views, but the colors in that one adit! WOW! Just frickin amazing! Thank you for sharing! I'm living vicariously through you! LOL!
So far......you haven't seen them all.....yet!
@@exploringabandonedmines but I'm working on it! 😉
#EPIC VIDEO'S Frank💪💪💪👍😊
seeing the ore (?) sitting there in sacks, still waiting to get shipped out, is pretty impressive!

Great scenery up there. Nothing quite like it. Thanks for the trip in with you.
Great show Frank! Fantastic colour in those rocks - a rare treat to be able to witness them, so thanks again.
Lead oxide is white, silver oxide is black, copper oxide is blue, and of course iron oxide is rust. Great video, and beautiful country, thanks for taking us along on your adventure.

Awesome video, I love watching your explorations! Thanks!
Stunning surroundings - really beautiful.
I'd love to see you go into one of these mines with one of the guys who originally mined it!
this was back when i was 4-5 but we had a cabin near trout lake and some old miner showed up and asked my dad and i if we could take him up to a old mine he worked in, so we hopped on the quads and followed him haha

So beautiful..
Beautiful country Frank.
Great video Frank, thanks.
Awesome content
Absolutely fantastic country up there!
What a stunning place! Crazy to think about them working there tho, those were some solid guys.
Amazingly beautiful country!
Lots of snow and bears and mosquitoes and is beautiful for sure
Great video!!
That countryside is just beautiful!
Breathtaking!

Just started to watch - LOVING the beard this week, Frank! You must have a drawer full of them :D Brilliant!
Stunning views!
This is some beautiful countryside, just amazing scenery. I will have to visit BC one day, it's only about 17000km away from here.
Very scenic area and scenic mines too. I love the "snotcycles" haha!
Thank Rachelle still working on woodbury.........I can drive to it in my truck right. Would make a nice trip going to the hotsprings overnight!
@@exploringabandonedmines yes they are very easy to get to in a truck. Both are right near the 1km mark sign on the tree.
Great thanks!

wow frank what a place high alpine beautiful just bought a hoodie cant wait to get it
Awesome......they are pretty warm!
The wheel barrel mine was awesome. Those views are insane
Beautiful
Awesome !!! Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
That is amazing views trails adventure again Frank. Your blessed to have such a beautiful playground.

It is all about the money.......people these days wouldn't work that hard for the money they made back then.........plus all the good ore is gone!
Totally awesome background for the TC20 commercial. :)
god dam that mine got some colors, great showings stay safe dude
Subscribed ! Awsum ! Makes me homesick for the Columbia gorge.
Cool to see..wished I could do it one day..thanks for the video..almost like I was there..
Wow..what a bloody amazing place.
Makes our Scottish And Welsh Mountains look like Mole Hills FFS.. 😉
Re: your wish to find a drift that exits on the other side of a mountain: I have seen a side view sketch of the Payne showing the drifts and raises and there appeared to be several that originated on the Sandon side of Payne Mt. and were open to the western leg of McGuigan gulch.

Thanks for all hat coverage of the Triune mines. I never made it much past the second switchback. I have however a book indicating the tram system there from the Triune to just short of Ferguson.

Oh to be a fly on the wall and to see that!
Was the bull wheel at rest in a place that would support this idea?
Thanks.
@@choatelodge Thanks for taking the time to explain all that to me. Yes that all makes sense now!

Sea bed at the tops of the peaks, pretty cool!
Well off the beaten path, Boonies. Great mines. Someone was serious in making money, plenty of ores. Some of these vistas would make some thumbnails.
Wow! Amazing scenery and another awesome explore! Frank, thanks for taking us along...
The mountain range is amazing
My dad told me of a mine near Keremeos that went right through one hill side and out the other. I'm not sure if its still there or where, but he remembers going through it 40 years or so ago.
Hey Shawn, ask your dad what its called
Beautiful country. That’s crazy for them to take out the roads. Now they can’t show everyone how beautiful
Their country is. And how is your leg doing, nothing keeps you down.
Leggs......both doin fine!
The reason is to return it to natural state. But they forget about the use to fight fires. The fires figure have more time to fight them.
Just; WOW!
