Some where out in Death valley my dad would take us boys sometimes and he knew of a mine out there he would high-grade. The only thing i remember was that it was behind the ranger station. How far? I have no idea. But he'd get some of the most beautiful red quartz with gold wire shot through it. This was back in the '60's so it might be gone now. Anyway, thanks for taking us along. Some wild geology going up that trail. Be safe.
Super nice vid sir - really neat looking mine entrance on that one. We are doing a bit of exploring tomorrow hoping to get some shots of some glacial geology cliff features up here in Washington, (but it won't be 80 degrees!) Again, thanks for sharing your exploring.
I like the scenery you do a heck of a good job of explaining things to people and I really appreciate it thank you very much for sharing your ventures have a good day and be safe.
Thanks for the tour, and it is time for the snakes to be coming out. Dealt with a few diamondback rattlers before up in northern California forests. Good luck, Mike
Love the joy of seeing a destination but then which way to get there and then to find a faint trail and stop to see bits and pieces the joy of hiking and then around a bend the destination appears just the adventure around the bend and looking back down the trail and saying wow I got here.and enjoying the destination.thank you for the tag along enjoyed it all.🤗⛏️
I know of this mine/where it's at but haven't been to this particular one. Lots of other worthwhile mines to check out about 4 miles SSE of this one. Thanks for the video's.
Great shot, and a great landscape. I'm again surprised, what people do to get profit, and who decided to start on this point a mine. Greatings from your German fan 👍🇺🇸🇩🇪
I backpacked all over Death Valley from the north to the South to the east to the West I really love that place ninety-nine percent of time I did it by myself I went in every mine that my guardian angel said do it it was a lot of them I do miss going there I've been thinking about going back
Hello Desert Friend. How's your 'bum knee' after that little bout? It's so quiet out there. Very enjoyable hike; the view was spectacular! Nice colors inside the tunnel. Thanks! ' )
It's an interesting commentary on how bad a lot of modern maps are. I often like to look at maps going back to the 1870's around me in Southern Oregon and see how many named places we have lost.
@Sam Beer • same here Sam, I am in pretty good shape for 65 years old but my knees are my weak point. Right now I am waiting on a right knee replacement !
It looked like the only wood in that particular mine was the single ore chute, and the ore car track ties. That was the dilemma for prospectors. A claim that might be profitable if there was easy access to materials, supplies, water, etc, could be challenging to make any profit at all when located in the middle of the desert. If the precious metals are abundant enough, men would go to great lengths to mine them in some of the most inhospitable, difficult to access places that you can imagine. They would haul a timber as far as it took, if they believed that there was a possibility of getting rich by doing so. That's how far. Tramways and pack animals were used a lot back then to bring in materials and equipment to remote, otherwise inaccessible areas.
It is nice to have Death Valley in your back yard I rode out there last month. Curious .. what kind of animals have you run across in the mines that startled you, if any? I am always leery of animals making the mines their home? I enjoyed as always.
Great video, I would love to check this mine out when I make a trip to Death Valley. What are the GPS coordinates to this mine or how would someone find info for this hike? Thanks in advance
Dear Mr. Hand, greetings. Wonder if we the audience will learn your name and have an introduction to perhaps a whole character we can associate with? Hope you won't remain a recluse like some other YTubers who tend to lose the audience's interest and subscriptions. You are a fair cameraman and narrator and want to support your rise in popularity if you'll let us be your friends and fans. Thank You for your channel. CW
I can't speak for the creator of these great videos but as for myself, I have been debating for a long time whether or not to show my face and speak in my videos. It's a privacy thing for me but I think I'll just keep myself off the screen. It's difficult to commit to sharing your entire personality on the screen. It's something you can't really reverse if it's uncomfortable.

That Animal path could also be a foot path, I once followed one that took me to what was left of a small cabin but thanks for sharing.

Amazed at the effort expended back in the day. Thanks for the ride along.
Thanks again for another great video. I certainly enjoy them. It's always a good day when I see a new one is posted.👍
If it comes out of the mine and dumped out it called a waste dump if it comes put of the mill or sluice box it's tailings. Love your videos.
Huh?
@@mikeleach4201 the put is out, an o instead of a p. Tailings is what is left over after you recover the metals.
Thanks for putting up a nice video after so many days

in the 90s the Park Service started closing off all the mines too bad

I like the little bucket too 🙂
Nice trip thank you for sharing.
Great find ...
What was mined there in that mine? I love the cool railroad tracks !
I wish I could still go do that but my knees are gone.
@Sam Beer • same here Sam, I am in pretty good shape for 65 years old but my knees are my weak point. Right now I am waiting on a right knee replacement !
How many miles did they have to haul timbers into those sites? I would really like to explore out there.

@@straybullitt Timbers? When you start hauling in iron, it gets interesting, especially up mountains and then construct a tramway to get pay ore down.
See the wooden cross in the middle left 1/3rd of 11:49, possible grave site?
Pictures can be deceptive I know but it looks like you could have drove your Jeep much farther then you did.
What kind of mineralization were they chasing, what happened to the mine cart?
I don't have to worry about wearing snake gaiters this year, I can't afford the gas.
Hey Tim did you remember to change the valve on your camel back? great video as usual!!!!
Do you explore larger mines like the queen of sheba mine? Its near lovelock nv. I always wanted to go into it but never made it.
WHAT IS THE BLACK TAR LIKE LIQUID THAT COMES OUT OF CAVE WALLS
18:20 something glimmering down lower on the right side wall.
Tim, how do you like your DiamondBack tonneau cover for your truck? I'm thinking about getting one when my Tacoma comes in
Dont know what it is but im hooked
Its petrified wood those are most hills and mountains are prehistoric tree stumps

That ore shoot came from an upper level?
That wasn't a piece of gnarled wood that turned into petrified wood? I would suck at seeing those snakes, they blend right in, I'd be a goner!
Oh, and is that an old makeshift grave marker at 12:04, or was that a claim marker?
Why wouldn't you drive to it?
Question, when does trash become artifacts?
50+ years old. BLM criteria!
9:28. Baby face hill

@@RemoteTrooper Same.
modern USGS maps leave a lot to be desired, they also seem to be (poorly) printed on cheap paper
They have a motherly concern you might have an incident in an abandoned mine, so if you can't see them, you won't go there, Eh!
Minute 12:02 showes tbe petrified wood stump
👍👊😎

So incredibly barren
A great place to be with supplies when and if Putin sends the nukes.
Uh, how is the desert beautiful? Nothing green anywhere. And what part of doing this alone is smart? Why didn't you drive to as close as you could?
