“Gly”: You know me by now, had this been an 1800’s mine I probably would’ve dug that out and added some bracing but it all boils down to risk vs reward. Documenting 1930’s and 40’s artifacts just isn’t worth that level of risk in my opinion and crawling past a potential collapse on my belly instead of my feet made it that much more dangerous. I don’t want to end up like the “feeling a little flat” guy in the movie Beetlejuice for some 1940’s tin cans. Lol th-cam.com/video/cZwdCa0ynEw/w-d-xo.html
GLY,, you made a wise choice. It’s not the sport of it , but to live and tell about it becomes more important. You know the old saying,, Live for the sport.🙂👍🎩. So don’t beat yourself up or owe anyone an apology. Thanks for what u accomplish!
Good decision Gly sometimes we just gotta listen to our heads not or heart. Theres more mines and we needyou to get to them. I still enjoyed the video thanks.
We want you to stay above ground, figuratively speaking, those frayed boards looked all kinds of messed up and you could literally see the huge pile of rocks sitting on them. 🍿💀
Yes Gly enjoyed and cool artifacts. I’m sure you thought about those mini drones with auto pilot perhaps for those places that it would be crazy to crawl into?? Thank you so much for your continued episodes. I can tell you are the leader as I hunted this one I saw other explorers who title their shows only slightly different than yours. 😂
I really appreciate you turning back and not going below the cave-in dude. I'm 0% disappointed and 100% respectful that you're showing other people how to be rational when they too go explore legitimately dangerous places like this. Love the content.
5:26 Winch drum assembly. Right bottom is a sheet metal bottom cover to an engine bell housing. That perforated strap center is for the brake band. The facings are gone. They used the truck clutch for IN and let the brake band slip for OUT. 8:14 A truck frame and engine. The winch drum assembly outside resided there and was driven from the Overhead Valve engine. 8:43 The elevated barrels at the rear were the cooling system. They were placed higher than the engine making it a "Thermo-siphon" system where the hot water went to the top and the unusual dual water pumps were fed from cooler water at the bottom. 9:34 the numbers 10-35 might mean October 1935 possibly? 10:29 Primitive tree logs used for shoring. Notice at the top are notches to help prevent shifting. Almost like square set timbers, just a lot cruder. 11:41 The track ties are the same primitive wood as the shoring. They are placed wide apart, meaning possibly smaller mine cart loads? 11:43 Notice the wood posts driven into the ground at the cross-tie ends. They are to hold the tracks center of the adit while bending around the curves. Gly: Didn't mean to be so wordy, but it reminds me of my Uncle's gold mine I worked in as a kid.
Thank you sir for your in depth observations. I'm amazed at what "billy goat" miners come up with to make their mining operation "work". We too came up with the darndest contraptions to sluice our placer gold claim. The claim had no water runing to it or through it. We worked from a tarped, holding pond of water brought in by large water tanks and used a fire hose pressured by a circulating engine as our grizzly and then separating sluice. We called it "the master blaster". Slow process but it worked. Ha, ha. (sold the gold and grew the operation as we went).
No explanation needed Gly , anyone could see that was a widow maker. Not only are you staying safe , you're also not taxing the EMTS with a needless accident rescue. Live to play another day!!!
That unsafe area would be a cool place to deploy an RC car with a 360 camera.... I know you don’t want to cry more things .... but still a cool recon device. Safe travels my friend.
GLY!! All I did today was walk a mile and my body hurts from past damages! On the one cardboard box you looked at, there was a date code of 10-35, which was the 10th week of 1935, or actual October of 35. And the Texaco crater compound 1 lube was for open gear and wire rope use, so it's no wonder the carton was there! When you were holding the camera in the collapse, I cold see a lot of "NOPE!", I'm glad you said the same!
I'm really looking forward to next weeks video. Fingers crossed one of these mines will have an artifact that most museums don't even have.Gly thankyou for all the hard work that you put into your content.
I looked at all that rock above your head before you said anything and thought boy check out that bent wooden pole then you stopped! Enjoy your channel and I'd like to have you around for a while longer if you don't mind. There's no way I could do that closing in on 60 yrs old, so I really appreciate your common sense.
GLY,,, Magnificent view of this mine area at the beginning . We appreciate all the effort and outstanding service you do with each video. The special attention and explanation of each mine . Extra detail to us, so we understand the challenges these miners went to make such a hard life somewhat simple. Gly you were blessed with some unique artifacts. A super duper view is right about the old wooden frame inside. By observation it looked to dangerous even for Gly . Very unstable. Glad u chose safety over adventure this time. Well done. Excellent video. Looking forward to the future video. Short and sweet has its rewards too. Thank u .
“Gly”: Thanks Tina! Yeah, if I could’ve been on my feet I would’ve went under the collapse but definitely not something to do when your on your belly. Had it been an older 1800’s mine I probably would’ve dug it out and braced it but not for a mine from the 1940’s or 50’s.
oh wow. When you spotted the barrels and continueed on i knew there was going to be a good find! that engine is Something you don't see in the UK. excellent
As soon as you walked into that mine , well, past the truck frame, because I was totally looking over the Truck frame and various other bits that was in the beginning, but after you walked past that door I suddenly realized that you were in a Placer mine! I even said it out loud, "That's a Placer Mine!" I knew right away that it was going to end very quickly because of the title and knowing how inherently unstable Placer mines really are. Sure enough it didn't take long for you to see the seriously dangerous overhead collapses that threatened to squeeze the filling out of "Gly the mine explorer guy"! I've seen other explorers go into placer mines that are not only as collapsed as this one but also filled to mid-thigh with water that is falling from all over the mine, it was like seeing them walk into a river filtering through a giant mountain of gravel with tunnels in it. But I'm so relieved to see you pull the plug on this one Gly because I don't want to feel the anxiety of watching you risk your life for some footage, and Even if it was an 1800's mine I would much rather you pull the plug because no footage is worth you life!!!! Dang PLacer mines are truly serious death traps, I can only imagine the trouble those men had digging out the addit. I mean the stuff would be easy to dig through, but terrible for wanting to collapse on top of you. And one thing I have noted in placer mines is that they deliberately dig the addits and haulage tunnels small to make them less likely to collapse on them! that is why you were complaining about how short those miners were earlier. LOL Yeah, Placer mines are Scary as heck for me, I have too vivid and realistic imagination to be comfortable even watching people explore them. Keep up the good work Gly, You make us proud with your self preservation and lines that you will not cross. because I have seen some serious tomfoolery from people who should know much better than to go into the places I've seen them go into! Have a good week, and I hope you have better luck next trip!!!
I'm glad you know your limitations, Gly! That was some scary stuff. Better to be safe than sorry. You can tell OSHA wasn't around in those days. But I'm also glad all of us get see more mines and old buildings in the future. Again, stay safe, stay healthy. You would be horribly missed.
Gly I appreciate you are still reasonable enough to not to take such unnecessary risk like in this mine. Stay safe and stay alive, we don‘t want to loose you!
Gly, I like your internal guide and your Common Sence as always you are more important being safe then seeing what is beyond a Death trap. Always stay Safe and Healthy.
I work with what we call here in Brazil as "Work Safety Technician", you evaluated the risk and saw that it was not worth it, perfect. Your family is waiting for you at home. Safety first!
Oh ya, thanks for poking around outside of the mine prior to entering. My wife and I have found around a hundred portal's in the past year. We don't go in,yet. We were invited to the Tecopa Mines in California. Happy exploring.
Hi Gly I don't comment much, but have seen all your exploring videos. Nice job on the oar shute, looks great. I couldn't stop laughing at the truck frame in the mine. AH Right, NOPE NOT ME ! I DON'T BLAME YOU. That gravel was to move then BOOM ! Thanks again for the show.
I like mountain climbing and sometimes I find myself in places where I feel a bit terrified at the thought of a sudden collapse, which obviously happen from time to time. But to be under the mountain is on a whole new level... great lesson for all your viewers. I have turned back on the mountains many times, even if it meant a few hours of descent after sunset. It's just not worth it. I'm on the mountains to enjoy nature, enjoy the views, the air and to exercise. Adrenaline and pushing limits have nothing to do with it.
may have been short and sweet but still interesting and we all appreciate your sensibility , there is always tomorrow and another hill to climb, stay safe.....
Better safe than sorry. Interesting beginning with some great drone shots of the area. Horrifying dangerous semi-collapse in the mine, I was glad you didnt go any farther, that looked awful. I would much prefer to see you continue being safe and showing us underground workings and artifacts than taking unnecessary risks. I really liked the short video earlier this week on the cabins you found. Keep up the good work.
Those two truck frames look like they were trying to make a shaker table for sizing the oar .........And the truck inside looked like someone had made a dash board for the motor ....I like your show keep it going like it is ...great
Gly, I saved the episodes from the beginning 'til today. They cheered me. Tonight, a cold, wet night in the North West Frontier of London, I do not appreciate being inform that the temperature is pleasant! Great to be back with you/
Thank you for not doing that Gly. I care about your safety and the safety of others. Its just not worth it. There are plenty more mines that are easier to get through and those will be great to see also! You are a smart man!!
Hey Gly, would it make any sense to have a little dirt bike rigged up on the back of Bob? Or maybe a Honda Grom w/ some knobby tires? Only reason i mention that one in particular is its excellent on gas, quiet if you leave the exhaust alone, and very light. The one i had was actually jumpable, caught a solid 5 ft on a regular basis w/ it so they are robust too. Itd be easy to load/unload, just make something or buy something that sticks in the receiver to carry it around. I dont think itd take away from the videos at all if you used something like that to zip up the mountains lol
“Gly”: Well, Bobs suspension is already maxed out with the gear I’m already carrying inside. Unfortunately, even if you were to have a small dirt bike the roads and trails to many of these mines are completely washed out and impassable. Most of the time the only way to get to the mine and it’s portal is to hike overland up the side of a hill or up the waste rock pile and that would be near impossible to do even on a bike because of all the loose material. Oh, and let’s not forget all the camera gear you’d have to lash on to the bike so your hands are free to ride it. I can think of maybe two or three scenarios in the past where something like that would be feasible but most of the time you’d just be hauling around the dead weight.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces im sure im not the first person to have this idea too lol But that all makes sense to me. I didnt consider the gear at all, that would certainly be a pain. Thank you for answering my comment and stay safe out there man.
Gly, why don't you use a walker, I have one too, and for the long stretches I have a scooter, will be for you too! 😀 If there is a rail like in this mine, you might be able to get custom wheels, that would be absolutely formidable.
Gly, please don't take any crazy risks just for the sake of TH-cam content. I am, and I am sure many of us followers are just as happy with you safe and sound and just hanging out with you while you talk shop and take us around exploring potential future sites. I always find ALL your content fascinating and so informative. Thank you for everything you do. Stay safe!!
“Gly”: It’s been proven to me time and again via other mine exploring channels that taking huge risks doesn’t necessarily get you more views. Success is all about camera work and production, not risking life and limb.
Gly, good choice not going any further in this mine! Risk vs reward. Also i know you dont put much if any stock into the paranormal occurances that others talk about in mines but at 9:50 there is something strange. Not only a sound that sounds like either a gust of air or even dare i say a growl and out in the edge of the dark a small light appears makes a turn and takes off into the darkness ahead of you. Not sure if you noticed that while in the mine but may be worth going back and reviewing your footage closer. As always, another amazing video and thanks for taking us along.
The three S's of mine exploration I have learned from You Tube; safe(ish), sketchy, and stupid. Going any farther into that mine would have been monumentally stupid. Gly, please stay smart, and most important, stay alive! Looking forward to your next video.
Hi Gly. Lovely episode as ever. I hope that you don’t mind but I am also watching a new up and coming channel called “radioactive drew”. He is looking at uranium mines and radiation in general rather than gold but he shares a love of geology, mines and fantastic production quality. I think that there may be an opportunity for a shared escapade. Just a suggestion.
You're such a sharing kind of guy. Even when we don't have "smell-o-vision" you make sure to let us know how sweaty & smelly you are LOL! My wife was impressed with your last video after I told her you managed to fit a garage and 2 shacks in your shorts (she almost made me jealous!) Too bad about having to stop going deeper but knowing your limits and the amount of risk you're willing to take are VERY important. Looking forward to next week's video.
I love your videos. I usually get an hour break at work and I always sit down and watch a video or two of yours on break. Such great simple entertainment and you get to learn something and see history. Happy new years pal.
You were wise to stop and turn around. I'm glad you listened to your "gut." I wonder how that engine and frame were moved into position? Were they carried by miners, one piece at a time and then reassembled? Vurry interesting find, Sir!
I always find it impressive, some of the massive pieces of machinery they manage to get into some of these mines. May be a crusty pile of scrap now, still pretty cool to see. Looking forward to next weekends video. Have a great and safe week.
So glad the choice you made. The use of a former truck to power the equipment was risky. I can tell you this, I am glad you choose to bring me along today. Thank you for all you do.
Gly I agree with you 100%, no way going under that pile, you would never get out of that. Hey those truck an car frames may be worth thousands Gly, wish you would check what makes they are, the one out side looked to be a 32 Ford, if it was it would put gas in old Bob for a year. I'm not positive but that may have been an old Packard in the mine. That old Mercury drum needs to be saved, not many around and I think there was another in the back. Well another week until some more or some more Gly SHORTS. 😱😁😁👍👍👍👍👍♥️🇺🇸
Neat mine and interesting rock in there. People are so innovative when getting things together for and operation. Boy what a cluster rock mess there. So glad u didn't let a barking spider out. One blast and rock would have come down. Wise decision there Gly. Your recon missions are so fantastic. Hugs and cuddles.
Good call on the collapse. To many other mines to explore so no need to risk your life on that one. Love the drone and the music you play while flying it. Trying to catch up on your old videos. Just subscribed a few weeks ago.
Yes temptation is many time a killer, a smart man lives to tell his tails another day . love this episode and thank you for always giving us something interesting and sharing life's tails . Best wishes from Australia

oh wow. When you spotted the barrels and continueed on i knew there was going to be a good find! that engine is Something you don't see in the UK. excellent
Good morning from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your adventures in the old mines and safety first always
Thanks for always delivering a great show when you can Gly! Here’s a little treat for the tip jar.
I liked the music during the drone footage. It's pretty frustrating when something is right in front of you but self-preservation kicks in.

Need to get a good RC car with a camera so you can scout the area ahead of the death trap
Good call Gly, you have gone places before that I wouldn't have gone and if you say "nope" then NOPE it is!
I’m glad you turned back. Thanks again for sharing.
I'm so glad you didn't risk it, it definitely wasn't worth it, looking forward to your next episode!!!!

thank you for sharing. it was the best decision ever. what you had was enough to enjoy this episode thank you
Thank you for your conservation on these historic sites. Great video as always!
Another good one. Short but sweet for sure. Better safe that sorry. That looked super sketchy. Stay safe out there and get some rest.
Thanks Gly! Always can't wait for your videos on Saturday mornings!!
Oh ya, thanks for poking around outside of the mine prior to entering. My wife and I have found around a hundred portal's in the past year. We don't go in,yet. We were invited to the Tecopa Mines in California. Happy exploring.

Such a wise choice. The King of explorers lives to explore another day. Love the channel!
There are old explorers, and there are bold explorers, but there are no old bold explorers...
That looked like a late 1930’s Chevy/GMC 216 cid OHV 6 hard to tell for sure without the head.

Thanks, Gly. Shall we play a game called MOUSETRAP? How about the next, almost trap?
Safe be your journey, trust that gut feeling!
may have been short and sweet but still interesting and we all appreciate your sensibility , there is always tomorrow and another hill to climb, stay safe.....
You needed Frank with you in this mine. He seems to be oblivious to danger and would have crawled all the way to the back of the drift.
“Gly”: I used to keep Frank around to do all my light work until he started eating all my groceries and drinking all my beer. 😉
Gly! It takes more courage and heart to present to us these wonderful videos…we have great respect for you
Much appreciation for all you do to bring us such awesome content. Hopefully you can get some rest.
Better short and sweet than quick and dead. Cool episode !
Some cool exploring video. Very interesting power plant in the mine
Hello my friend wow that is great found in mine that cool location
You need a small RC car with tracks that can mount a go pro.. You can drive it into those spots and get a look past the collapse.
Gly all the best. Very glad you didn’t go any further. Thanks for sharing TrickyTrev 🇦🇺👍
Thanks Gly, as always. The fool rushes ahead, the wise man walks away. Good call.

You had me worried for a minute. I thought you were actually gonna go for it. Still a great show Gly. Thanks again.
Good thinking on the ‘nope’. Safety first, always
Thanks so very much, great video , from southern Oregon
Gly, why don't you use a walker, I have one too, and for the long stretches I have a scooter, will be for you too! 😀
If there is a rail like in this mine, you might be able to get custom wheels, that would be absolutely formidable.
Thanks for taking us!
You made the right call to turn around and not push your luck. Still an awesome explore!
Gly, please don't take any crazy risks just for the sake of TH-cam content. I am, and I am sure many of us followers are just as happy with you safe and sound and just hanging out with you while you talk shop and take us around exploring potential future sites. I always find ALL your content fascinating and so informative. Thank you for everything you do. Stay safe!!
“Gly”: It’s been proven to me time and again via other mine exploring channels that taking huge risks doesn’t necessarily get you more views. Success is all about camera work and production, not risking life and limb.
Thank you for being safe Gly! We need you to stay safe good sir!🙏👍
Nice effort Gly, your GUT FEELING is you friend.
Keen for more adventures.

Gly, good choice not going any further in this mine! Risk vs reward. Also i know you dont put much if any stock into the paranormal occurances that others talk about in mines but at 9:50 there is something strange. Not only a sound that sounds like either a gust of air or even dare i say a growl and out in the edge of the dark a small light appears makes a turn and takes off into the darkness ahead of you. Not sure if you noticed that while in the mine but may be worth going back and reviewing your footage closer. As always, another amazing video and thanks for taking us along.
Good call I was dam near screaming don't do it 😂
Thanks for staying safe.
The three S's of mine exploration I have learned from You Tube; safe(ish), sketchy, and stupid. Going any farther into that mine would have been monumentally stupid. Gly, please stay smart, and most important, stay alive! Looking forward to your next video.
Oh man, yeah that was deadly. Glad you played it safe there and lived to upload another video!
Gly, appreciate your reluctance in going under that pile of woe. Looking forward to next week. Stay safe ⛏
Thanks Gly for all you do,excellent production,great contnent,keep it up Buddy!
Appreciate the video as always! Thanks Gly, and yeah keep above ground fer a while, will ya?
Gut feeling! Is correct 100% - Go home safe
Hi Gly. Lovely episode as ever. I hope that you don’t mind but I am also watching a new up and coming channel called “radioactive drew”. He is looking at uranium mines and radiation in general rather than gold but he shares a love of geology, mines and fantastic production quality. I think that there may be an opportunity for a shared escapade. Just a suggestion.
You're such a sharing kind of guy. Even when we don't have "smell-o-vision" you make sure to let us know how sweaty & smelly you are LOL!
My wife was impressed with your last video after I told her you managed to fit a garage and 2 shacks in your shorts (she almost made me jealous!) Too bad about having to stop going deeper but knowing your limits and the amount of risk you're willing to take are VERY important. Looking forward to next week's video.
“Gly”: I’m working on Scratch n’ Sniff videos but TH-cam has yet to accept my proposal.
Would love to find the old Iron mines in my neighborhood.
Thanks Gly, stay safe!
I love your videos. I usually get an hour break at work and I always sit down and watch a video or two of yours on break. Such great simple entertainment and you get to learn something and see history. Happy new years pal.
Wise choice! Have a good weekend.
You were wise to stop and turn around. I'm glad you listened to your "gut." I wonder how that engine and frame were moved into position? Were they carried by miners, one piece at a time and then reassembled? Vurry interesting find, Sir!
I literally hear you on this one You buddy !✌❤👣👻🤓
I always find it impressive, some of the massive pieces of machinery they manage to get into some of these mines. May be a crusty pile of scrap now, still pretty cool to see. Looking forward to next weekends video. Have a great and safe week.
So glad the choice you made. The use of a former truck to power the equipment was risky. I can tell you this, I am glad you choose to bring me along today. Thank you for all you do.
that collapse reminds me of playing Kerplunk! as a kid. glad you didn't wanna play that game today!
Gly I agree with you 100%, no way going under that pile, you would never get out of that. Hey those truck an car frames may be worth thousands Gly, wish you would check what makes they are, the one out side looked to be a 32 Ford, if it was it would put gas in old Bob for a year. I'm not positive but that may have been an old Packard in the mine. That old Mercury drum needs to be saved, not many around and I think there was another in the back. Well another week until some more or some more Gly SHORTS. 😱😁😁👍👍👍👍👍♥️🇺🇸
Neat mine and interesting rock in there. People are so innovative when getting things together for and operation. Boy what a cluster rock mess there. So glad u didn't let a barking spider out. One blast and rock would have come down. Wise decision there Gly. Your recon missions are so fantastic. Hugs and cuddles.
Thanks Gly. A good effort considering the state that mine was in.
Great Mine Gly, no earthquakes
Long time no see Gly! Absolutely the right call here without question!! Glad to see you well and safe. good wishes!
Good call on the collapse. To many other mines to explore so no need to risk your life on that one. Love the drone and the music you play while flying it. Trying to catch up on your old videos. Just subscribed a few weeks ago.
Risk it for the biscuit? No! TRUST THE GUT. Live to explore another day!
Good job Gly.
Hi Gly! I'm with you on 19 again. I'm soon to be 66 at the end of the year. Be careful out there. R.
Yes temptation is many time a killer, a smart man lives to tell his tails another day . love this episode and thank you for always giving us something interesting and sharing life's tails . Best wishes from Australia
Great find, lots of cool rusty bits! I wouldn't go through that collapse either..
You won today Gly because you weighed the odds and came out alive.🔥👍
You definitely made the right decision, that looked horrible. 👍
Good thinking Gly! Have a safe adventure
I have to hand it to this guy... I wouldn't get very far in that mine... It would freak me out being in there.
9:30 Hrmm... the Texaco box might be 1935, and that sorts with the candy company... I find references with it at that address in 1924 and 1942-44.
