Your video is great!!! I am a retired geologist and did some mapping near this mine back in the late 80’s. Pretty cool to see the location once again. Regarding the history of the site, folks truly have no idea how limited the information is regarding old mines sites in Nevada is. Point being, if folks are looking for a doctoral dissertation on the history of these sites, should not look to TH-cam to provide said information. Keep making your videos your way and enjoy the outdoors with family!!!
Thanks… I’m from salt lake originally and my dad took me to Hamilton and treasure city and tons of ghost towns around there in the 1970s and 1980s as he was a bottle digger.. I realized why we never made it to this site as most of the buildings were more towards the turn of the century.. my dad was after 1870s bottles. He’s pasted on and I’m having fun revisiting places we went when I was little.. this one was fun because of the shape of some of the buildings and equipment left. I useally don’t say where I am as to keep it not overrun 🙂 but like ya say some places are really quite small and not a lot on.. you probably remember the resurgents of mining at Hamilton in the 1980s
@@tappintheamericanwest2781 Ironically my family is actually from Park City and spent years in the mining industry. My grandfather was a geologist for the Silver King. Most of my family moved out of PC in 1980 when the Cali money started moving there. Anyhow I too spent many years exploring towns like Eureka, Mammoth, Silver City, Ophir, Jacob City, Stockton, etc… It was what made me want to become a geologist. Safe travels!!!
@@gslarsen8848 as a kid in the 70s my dad took me up to park city to dig bottles.. he got permission and they took a tractor in the old park city dump and excavated tons of bottles as I ran around.. we lived in salt lake then.. back then park city was a hippie town then the California snobs came and destroyed it sadly

Interesting find, fairly well preserved. I realize you aren't a pro, however a couple of suggestions from a friendly viewer: Need more volume from your mic, need to slow your camera panning down, I get dizzy trying to watch the frantic movement. Thanks for your effort..........
Very interesting site. I, too, echo the others’ comments and would suggest that, to make your videos more informative, you probably could provide a little more background, such as what part of what state is this? I understand fully not wanting to divulge its exact location because then we would see graffiti and there would not be any tools left on the workbench for others to see it in the condition it was in when the miners abandoned it. Also, if you can add a little more of a description of what you were seeing (to the extent that you know what it is) and perhaps a few fewer sound effects. Thank you
Thanks for taking time and watching it and subscribing 🙂 my main reason is to bring this to everyone that can’t get out and may never see these things❤️ I have a bunch of other videos on my channel ya might like.. and I plan on adding more.. thanks for being my 100th subscriber.. and I’m in utah and explore there and into Nevada and if you need locations I can gps them🙂
@@tappintheamericanwest2781 My family and I have been exploring since i was about 4 or 5, and I remember one late afternoon how we stumbled across an Old Camp where nothing but the shells of the buildings were left. I think it was at that point that it put a spark in me to explore, especially old buildings. I was actually able to find the location for this video because at one point there's some writing on the wall of one of the buildings you were in. I paused the video, took a screenshot and with a little Google sleuthing was able to find where this place is located. Currently now on my bucket list of places to explore. If you're in the area when I get there I'll hit you up and maybe we could explore all together. I would love to do a collaboration with another TH-camr :) anyways, you have a great day and stay safe!
@@MPWEST83 be prepared for some rough roads. We don’t have a side by side and we stopped a ways down from the mine area .. my Durango got a lot of side scratches from the brush which I don’t care as that what my car is for exploring.. check out the video of the monster mine which is on treasure hill.. it’s amazing inside..I’m sure I’m going to head that way next year again as those were the areas my dad took me as a kid in the 70s and 80s

I just wondering how many of these mines still have gold in them or is it worked to reopen somebody's minds at least trying to make some gold out of it if you know let me know
These were mainly silver mines.. there is still silver in them but the cost to get it out isn’t worth it…once in the early 1980s they did restart mining for a bit when the price of silver went up though..
a bit of history, would have made this, way better. Lack of grafiti and signs of vandalism may just keep your "treasure" untouched for A long time. Anyway excellent video, audibles well just say get scripted.
@@tappintheamericanwest2781 you also need to know what you're looking at. The big steel tank was called a receiver the first building WAS a blacksmith shop, the last one was the aerial tramway building.

Interesting spot. Cool tour, and I'll echo the first commenter and say a bit of history would be nice. Thanks for the look.
I will remember to communicate more of the history and just not the sites I’m seeing 🙂
100 year old high tension wires are probably something you don’t wanna mess with haha Love the vid thanks for sharing
Yah I was thinking the same thing.. I might of had that thing whip back and slice me in 2😬
@@tappintheamericanwest2781 glad it didn’t lol really enjoy your stuff I appreciate the response
Intact aerial tramways are a rarity. It says a lot for the engineering and materials.
It’s pretty amazing both the top mine and the lower mill has all the equipment still intact.. being it’s far from anything has helped preserve it all🙂

What time frame is this mine from ??
The buildings at this site are about the beginning of the 1900s
The tracks on the road say it sees some use , mostly atv with.
Yep that for sure.. although it is pretty remote and untouched by vandalism
Ps the video I have uploaded too has the lower mill and it’s remarkably in great shape like the workers just left it yesterday
Amazing....
Thanks… it’s fun to find such gems

Where tho?
West of ely Nevada
Not one standing house left?
Volume to low otherwise great.
I’m trying to find the middle ground between wind buffeting noise and too much silencing 🤔thanks for your comment 🙂
