Love all your videos but I particularly enjoyed this one! I hope you do more abandoned mine videos. I never get tired of seeing old workings. Happy Holidays!
Love how u show us and explain what we are looking for helps me make more sense of things, I’m looking to get into prospecting myself. Thank you for your information.
Getting out and exploring and seeing things that very few have ever seen is the coolest. I believe that most of todays prospectors were born in the wrong era. Merry Christmas
Man! This reminds me of all the mines that are hidden up in the hills of St. Marys! So much unexplored land and so much to find! Awesome adventure bro, Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing!
I really like your channel, its like a mix of 911 mining, jeff williams and abandoned and forgotten place, the gold prospecting perspective and mine exploring are real nice to see! 🤠
Much of this stuff I am seeing for the first time along with you guys. It helps me to read the ground and put the pieces of the "golden puzzle" together. Thank you for the kind words and support🙌
Pretty cool man! I drop rocks in shafts where I live in the desert. But you got to watch out I nearly got nailed a few times when a whole bunch of pigeons come swarming out and almost hit me in the face!
This looks like a great spot to try out the old dousing rods and see what's up , reminded me of the last spot you showed us. It was a good thing you finally got to go there and see all of those magnificent finds. To bad the bottle was broken it was very cool. I hope the samples you brought home has some values. I really enjoy your spirit. It lifts my day to watch your videos. The content is very cool with the different adventures you take us on. Thanks for being you and I want to wish you a Very Merry Christmas this year. Can't wait to see you in the New Year. Take care brother.
Thank you kindly Steve! May you and your family have a most blessed holiday season! This particular exploration adventure was amazingly fun and satisfying for me! It makes me happy that others can share in my joy of discovery! :)
@@ColoradoGoldCamp What Steve Zozuk said but with whipped cream and a real cherry or strawberry on top! Be safe while adventurous until they confiscate your boots and give you slippers!
All under snow now my friend, maybe ? Thanks for the trip, such amazing adventures gives me hope for when I heal up to get out and explore, I can feel the excitement through the video Congratulations on the find.
Now that was a gneiss adventure. Did have a lot of schist to dodge here and there but it was sprinkled thru with some pretty vuggy quartz. Nice looking shaft, good timbering job. I wonder if it isn't a low grade silver deposit. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Wow....I need to learn geology. I've seen places that remind me of what you were seeing, but I don't understand geology. Should have paid better attention when I was in college, but I was taking veterinary courses and didn't have any interest in the geology course.
I realized that I was very into geology 10 years after college ;) We do what we can and follow our dreams as they evolve! There is always time to learn some basic concepts of geology Ron. I like, the idea of gold prospecting geology for dummies, I will attend as well! We can only apply our knowledge if it makes sense to us. Happy Holidays my Friend!
I would enjoy going on an adventure or two with you man. You are very knowledgeable when it comes to the geology of the area and I know of a bunch of interesting sites you might not know about. I’m the dude at Saturdays.
Do you have any idea what was originally mined there prior to your walk in? FS , state or BLM ground? Could you walk an excavator or cat in and trench the ground for samples?
This was primarily a gold mining area with minor silver and pgm values. I wish I could Kim! There are so many places I would like to dig n trench around on. Nowadays you need like 5 permits to do anything substantial.
It’s a long way from anything so do you think they had some kind of stamp mill. There was so many minerals around so what was the contact zone made up of
There were a few stamp mills in the general area. I would imagine that they carted sacks of ore by mule or burro. The mines that could not contract local processors or the ones that produces more complex ores, tended to ship the highesest grade stuff to the big smelters some miles away.
Kinda a tease, not knowin the general location. lol Been a CO prospector since 1998, never took it to the mining and refining (4-5) level. Have a good idea, within a 10-15 mile radius, where that's at, assuming you filmed there in early winter. Not many places in CO that are snow-free at 11,000 after November. Your "wet placer cleanup" vid, I think I know the spot. Never prospected it cuz it's got multiple active claims. You're Livin the Life, wish I could do it professionally the same!
Hey man, I’m learning to Gold mine. But we have some potential untapped areas in Africa. Long story. I was wondering if I could hire you to teach me what you know. Maybe I come out and give you free labor for a week? How much would you charge?
Awesome adventure bud. Thanks for sharing
Very cool dude. Very cool.
Thanks LOC🙌
Love all your videos but I particularly enjoyed this one! I hope you do more abandoned mine videos. I never get tired of seeing old workings. Happy Holidays!
The old working are so fun to explore! I'm always on the hunt for more, thanks MM🙌
Another great video, thanks bud,
Have a great xmas n new year 🏆🏴
To you as welly friend, cheers!

My pleasure Talon! I love what I do and we are here to learn from one another!

I've though many times that If I was born in another time with my current knowledge, I would choose the Mid late 1800's :) Happy Holidays Roger
Man! This reminds me of all the mines that are hidden up in the hills of St. Marys! So much unexplored land and so much to find! Awesome adventure bro, Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing!
For sure! Happy Holidays Mayhem! There are a lot of goodies still hiding back up there!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp So many for sure!
Very neat adventure, I'm learning so much from your show! Keep these videos coming.
I am glad to hear it! Thanks for the support, Susan!

Great explore man felt like was there w you. Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays Dig!
Dai, we should join forces track down some really good mines for the people to see.
This sounds like a great idea Sully! The new year will bring new adventures and treasures for sure!
Thank's for the awesome outing brother😁😁Merry Christmas from Centennial💚❤💚❤
Happiest of Holidays to you Henry!
Love your editing style and clear knowledge / interest in geology! Thanks for the videos.
My pleasure Andrew, thank you for your support🙌
Always having fun fam. Happy Xmas. Gold squad out!!!
Happy Holidays GS!!
Nice video dude. I am a big fan of checking out old mines. It would be cool if you hooked up a gopro to a fishing pole and dropped it down that shaft.
That's a good idea Colter! Just like fishing, hope I don't get snagged down there, hehe! Happy Holidays man!
Enjoyed watching this and following along your discoveries!
Great to hear V! Thanks for your support ☺️
Great video quite the adventure looks like you found more fun fun fun get you some of that!! Merry Christmas and happy New Year's 🎉
Get you some of that! BOOM! Love it. Hope you and your family are having a great holiday season Tony!

Looks like a great outing. Always fun going out exploring old mines.
Indeed! Thanks OAE!

@@ColoradoGoldCamp Have you done any research on this area, geologic maps, assessment reports, government reports, Google Earth and fly a drone.

No hand cannon in grisly country?
Great video thanks
Black bear, moose n cougar land. Mini cannon gives some extra security 😉

Hehe, indeed it was Richard! Your rhyme there could be made into a miners Christmas card, love it! Happy Holidays!!
@@ColoradoGoldCamp No shisting! Or metamorphing allowed! By edict of the motherlode!
Seems u need to tye a rope to the gopro and lower it down the 3 holes to see whats down there 🤔. Great video
Wish I could be there to join you on that adventure looks like a lot of fun!
It really was a ton of fun exploring back there. Hope to catch up with you next season!

Goddam I love finding ol' timey shit like this!
Right!!? It is so very exciting and satisfying!
Great videos…great fun prospecting

A small drone might be a good tool to check some of these shafts look like
That was awesome 🎄🎁😎👍

What is the coolest thing you have ever found in a mine...or around a mine?
This brake wheel is pretty darn neat! I guess the coolest thing would have to be a fist sized piece of gold in matrix!
Could I work with you next season? I have 4 claims in Montana looking for more.
Feel free to contact me on FB.
Hey man, I’m learning to Gold mine.
But we have some potential untapped areas in Africa.
Long story. I was wondering if I could hire you to teach me what you know.
Maybe I come out and give you free labor for a week? How much would you charge?
Dude what brand hat is that?
I was thinking the same thing. Cool hat for sure
It's pretty much my favorite hat. I'm having some more made up soon. Thinking about listing some on my website.
@@ColoradoGoldCamp first in line sir
At 5:21 that's a grave lol
I see what you are saying. If it were anywhere else, it could be..
16:46 you missed a vintage wrench
The light colored thing that looks like an open end wrench?
@@ColoradoGoldCamp yes pretty sure its from the 1800s

Where is your metal detector.?
I was focused on exploration this round.
You need an avalanche beacon.
Lots of leaverite!
Yes, that is typically how it goes.
What about bears and mountain lions? Is there a threat of dangerous wildlife where you were?
Have you stopped making videos?
