@@tinadelwiche416 Quite the shoutout Gly sent you in Part 1. Thank you for helping to make this explore happen. I'm fairly certain you are as impressed with Gly's discoveries as we all are. Amazing. Thank you. :)
Wow, double feature finale. What a ride! You really went above and beyond for this mine. The shorts between episodes were great fillers and tie-ins. The ghost town tour. Teaching us the history as you show us the sites. What an immense effort, Gly. What an awesome payoff at the end. I even got a bit white-knuckled when you were on that precipice of "holy crap!" You achieved your goal, you did it solo. That's pretty spectacular man. I give you permission to use my tip towards a victory steak! I have neuropathy from an old spine surgery. People who don't know, don't know. Cheers to you! Thanks for the adventure!
This has to be the most amazing mine you'll ever enter, and I hope you explore the entirety of this once in a lifetime experience. I know I'm really enjoying the view you're providing to us.
This is what finding the holy grail looks like. Absolutely astonishing that no one has been down there and pilfered all those artefacts. I like to think that large tree was going to be put where the collapse happened, but the collapse happened before the tree was put in place. That's a huge piece of wood that was moved there and then not utilised.
Gly, you're an amazing ambassador for the adventure gene in all of us! Many thanks for taking us along with your tireless efforts and exceptional production values.
Far-future biologists: This was an era when ants grew to the size of cows, and built the most astonishing underground nests... Really amazing. Hard to believe they dug such a massive place with the sweat of their brows and the strength of their hands. Makes a person wonder if we have any of its silver in our rings and teeth today.
OMG, what is beyond epic?! This has to be the greatest explore you have ever done. Definitely need to do a collab just to get more rope in there. You are amazing. Thanks just don't do justice to your effort on this one, but heartfelt thanks all the same.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Haha, hopefully not a mouth full of teeth. Saw that movie too. Can't wait for you to find out. How about a drone drop into the big shaft?
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Gly .. I would never persuade someone to do something outside their "Comfort zone" but on this occasion you HAVE to go take a look, or the suspense will kill me !! 😁🤣🙃
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Gly. Thanks so much for this Epic adventure. But, I agree as well, there has to be a safe way to get down there and see .....
Gly. This was such an amazing explore. Just boggles the mind to think of how hard they worked to hollow out that mountain without the aid of modern mining machinery. So amazing what these folks did by the sweat of their brows. Thank you for pushing on to fully explore this mine. Take your much needed rest now my friend.
When you mentioned the grooves in between the rails on the bucket tracks made by men pushing! We forgot that’s what they had to do and how hard they worked! We would do well to remember that. They never gave up and their attitude would be “tomorrows gonna be a brighter day”!
I just imagine all the miners in there chiseling, hammering and pounding and the noise it must have made with the echoes. I can see the ghosts of mining in every artifact. This is very cool.
I am so glad you are ok. You love what you do and see. No fear. You are smart enough to know what is ok. I have missed your videos. Hope you are ok. Stay well and safe.
Gly, you are the KING of mine exploring. It doesn't get any better than you & this incredible effort to document it. I never thought I'd enjoy this stuff. You are hereby crowned, King Coolness!!!! 👑👑👑👑
This was more than epic. This was incredible. To see how these guys guys mined was truly a once in a lifetime experience. And to possibly be the first people to see down there since it was closed over 100 yrs ago...Historic!!
you did a lot of work to get in there . i saw a few things id thought id never see biggest timbers ive ever heard of even in rumour entire trees is insane.
How do they mine such big and deep stokes? It baffled me too! After watching your videos and others, I think it was probably simpler than it seems. Find the edge of the ore body and immediately follow it up at an angel, hence ore chutes, then when you think you reached the top, excavate the ore horizontally in all directions, dumping it down your original access chute, lowering your floor foot by foot. If it starts to go below your original starting level, and seems large enough, blast in another drift a hundred feet below, excavate a ore chute / pass up to the first starting level, remove and relocate your track and reusable wood to the new lower level to use again, then start excavating horizontally again, lowering the floor foot by foot until you have an amazingly tall cavern. Seems the easiest way since if you start at the top and work your way down, you never need all kinds of ways to access high areas since they are already depleted of ore as you work your way down.
WOW--WOW!!🤪🤪. Gly, you hit the Mother Load on this one. Thank you for ALL the work you put in to get this far. What a fabulous explore. I will be watching these videos a few times over just to catch everything. Have I said “THANK YOU” for sharing your exploring with and in such top quality video. Great job. Now rest up and find a way to get to the bottom of that deep shaft (preferably a way that you can get back up easily). Take care and stay face out there.
These last two videos are the most exciting thing we (the wife and I) have seen so far. I honestly expected at times to see a wet spot in the front of you trousers you were getting that excited. I feel like I have been on a real life caving adventure these last two videos. I enjoy all the others ones as well, but these have been another level. Thank you so much for sharing the adventure with us.
Bet no one has been down there in a LONG time......What a Treasure trove you have found.....Gly for me this has to be the RICHES mine, Artifacts...I have ever seen....Thank you Sir..........JB.......
What an awesome explore but it's killing me to know what's down the Silver Expanse Shaft. Will a collaboration with Frank, Justin and Jeff be a possibility? Maybe not all but at least Justin who could rope into those tough areas.
One year later, this never gets old, still on the edge of my seat. Gly, thanks for this repeat. Oldie but a goodie. Can't believe you did that with that board and lanyards. Sad thing about this, it seems new, never seen this here video before. That IS THE THUMBNAIL. Gly, what i said last year doesn't compare to now, simply amazing, loving the neck out of this video. A difference a year makes, wow.
Gly - Nowhere in this mine do I see any sign it has ever been surveyed. No tags, no pink spray paint. How is that possible? The Division of Mines did very thorough survey of all Nevada mines in the 30's, and again in the 60's. Given the lack of survey markers and the nature of the artifacts you found, I would hazard a guess you are the first person to walk those adits since that last minet left. I must say I am impressed. You're far from Hope, my friend!
Cool! Thanks for taking me along! Sounds like you know where you are, dragon reference... I too suffer from nerve issues. Keep moving! And try inversion. It's my saving grace! God bless!
Kidos, Part 2 is Astounding. Approx. video mark @ 16.52 - the white rock in the tunnel fork looks like a Miner pointing to the right where you found his treasure haven of metal ore bucket, wooden ore bucket on a 4-wheeled cart and Silver Expanse Shaft. I can almost here the noise of the ore carts rolling on the wooden slat rails. This was a Rare Virgin Explore for you and intended for no other but you to share with us. I do think that was a 7 stone star you disrupted, though. Piece of Cake. NO, hard work and determination. Thank you for sharing. :)
This my third time watching this fabulous explore of this mine. I've never seen anything so vast and amazing in what those miners had to go through to accomplish such a feat. This is beyond fantastic.
Greetings, Gly. This was a particularly spectacular show. Several handmade ore carts, all but one with 4 wheels. Snow, icicles. ... I had asked Phil of Amazing PA after a particular episode, if he had had to be hospitalized for overwhelming giddyness. I have the same question for you. ... What a wonderful explore you had. Keep well.
Gly..You deserve all the accolades mate. I doubt there would be another mine like that anywhere, locally or foreign, that still retains so many artifacts. I pray it stays that way forever, so that other abandoned mine explorers can enjoy, without the usual pilfering.
Gly You we're like a kid in a candy store in the Thunderridge mine. I've been in the underground warehouses here in Missouri and Kansas. Those mines are massive. I've hoisted cars out of a cave here in Southwest Missouri. Hoist truck with 800ft of cable on the main hoist can reach in the ground a long ways. Love your videos and like a kid I look forward to Saturday morning to watch where you have been. Take Care and God Bless.
Gly, you, yourself, are a true treasure and rarity! God bless you! 3 days to recover? Dude, you need to take a vacation! Include us or not, get some rest! Truly incredible place! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hay, I've been watching your show now for quite a while now and I'm convinced that there is no one out there that not only brings you to the best places but more importantly you educate me on what were are all looking at. Wich in my opinion is the best. The history of these places and what went on at them is very important to me. I love history, always have. Thanks for taking the time to do what you do.
Wow! I am so thankful to you and Tina and others for providing the guts and the wherewithal to explore the depths of the mine. All of the artifacts were amazing, but my main takeaway was how hard the miners labored to get that silver out of the mine. Rest and recover and give yourself a huge pat on the back. Thanks again to Tina and everybody who donated and a special thanks to Gly. You did good!
Forget the mining historical finds, showing the massive trees that once graced the area, and are now, devoid of any trees at all, was a special treat as well Also, the amount of snow drifted into the tunnel, off of the vertical shaft was incredible. When you threw the rock into the shaft and thought it was still falling, not hearing it's hitting bottom, I think it was because it impacted deep snow. If there was that much snow where you were, imagine how much snow was still in the bottom of the shaft. WOW, WHAT A THRILLING VIDEO!
That tree really got my brain juices squirting around. So many questions. It's a very unusual size timber to be used for anything, mining or otherwise. It must have had a specific application it was used for, but it is no longer being used for that. It would have taken considerable planning and man power to get it to, into and around the mine. Was it ever used, or was it still on it's way to be used. If it was still on the move in, how did something of such great expense get halfway done before the mine closed down. Most likely it was used. Was it used deeper in the mine and just discarded on this level, or was it used on this level? even if that's the case, why was it left and not repurposed like every other resource in a mining camp. The tree has a very intense story behind it. Multiple people had some very stressful days dealing with that piece of wood. Just makes my brain spin thinking about a damn dead tree
That dear bucket is alone deep beneath the earth in the dark again for another 150 years. Hats off dear bucket. *sniff* That rock dropped for at least 10 seconds down the silver expanse shaft. That's gotta be at least as tall as a skyscraper. Were these miners by any change Welsh?
If I didn’t live all the way in Canada I’d so love to Come and film for you and explore! Exploring mines is literally my favourite thing! Mr. M an gly are BBC great people!
Your videos (especially this series with a huge mine) have re-kindled my amazement in human work. The incredible effort required to excavate these spaces in the timeframe they were created will likely never be matched again, and you do one hell of a job documenting it. Slow, steady and safe wins the race, so big kudos to you for taking the time to protect yourself in your explorations!
Gly, Sure hope youll be back...Dont think you found it all......Thats the richest mine full of precious Artifacts, I have ever seen thanks to you and your hard work...Thank you..........JB.
How amazing was that ore bucket and cart, I can't imagine the feeling you must of had being the first person in there for over 100 years 👌 I do love watching all the different veins and rock formations as your walking along, I did imagine the smell of the trees they hauled down there after spending all these years in the cold and dark. Thank you Gly for another fantastic episode, it's 1am now and I will sleep fantasticaly dreaming of abandoned mines lol
GLY,, absolutely awesome double feature. This mine has so many astonishing secrets you have revealed. The miners must of had GLY in mined to leave such great artifacts finding for you to find 170 yrs later.
Excellent finale!! I think this mine is also the most three dimensional mine you have ever explored. It is literally a confusing rat's nest of giant ballrooms, huge stopes, adits, ore passes, prospect shafts, etc. It would be neat if you could draw out what you can of it in 3D and show where everything was and where you went. Also it would be cool to see a blooper reel on this mine as I am sure you were butt puckered scared more than once and you probably created some big echos in there. It would make a great Gly's Shorts episode. :)
WOWOW!! Man, I get SO excited traveling through these mines!! I LOVE exploring, although I can no longer do so.. so I'm exploring vicariously through you!!! Exploring the unknown is so totally infectious for me... wow
Phenomenal exploration of Thunder Ridge mines with such attention to the details of the mines. Enjoy the dialogue on the geology and artfacts of the mine makes you mine exploration so much more enjoyable and educational it's downright exciting. You are at the top of the list of mine exploration videos. Thank you!!
This is the greatest mine you've ever brought us along for! Thank you so much for such a great adventure. Such a incredible mine I'm sure you'll never forget it.
It's a twofer! Thanks, Tina!! This is absolutely amazing stuff, Gly. It's a chilly fall morning here and I'm sick. Having two episodes to watch has made my entire weekend. Especially with such a spectacular, mind-boggling mine.

Phenomenal exploration of Thunder Ridge mines with such attention to the details of the mines. Enjoy the dialogue on the geology and artfacts of the mine makes you mine exploration so much more enjoyable and educational it's downright exciting. You are at the top of the list of mine exploration videos. Thank you!!
You outdid yourself on this one!

Gly... Brilliant.
This has got to be one of the most incredible mines I've ever seen on yt
One of your very best Gly!!! Thank you.
This is the greatest mine you've ever brought us along for! Thank you so much for such a great adventure. Such a incredible mine I'm sure you'll never forget it.
Thanks Gly for sharing all the mines I would have liked to have explored while living in that area!
It's a twofer! Thanks, Tina!! This is absolutely amazing stuff, Gly. It's a chilly fall morning here and I'm sick. Having two episodes to watch has made my entire weekend. Especially with such a spectacular, mind-boggling mine.
Old growth trees!
