Jason, Here's an opinion of a retired Mine Engineer with 45 years of mining experience: Death trap. You used up a whole life time worth of luck playing around in that mine with out installing roof support and testing air quality. The geology of the ore deposit was fascinating.
I am always against robbing pillers due to all the horror stories about people collapsing the roof on themselves. But, when Jason asked if we would try collecting the oar from the pillers, I just started nodding subconsciously, I guess I got gold fever from watching, too.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Watch you in that mine really helped me understand my Uncle who owned two gold mines and spent his life trying to hit it rich. I was too young at the time to understand him but I sure did like going to visit him. He truly followed his dream.
Just imagine how rich that was back in the day if that is what they left behind. That much visible gold in quartz is astounding to see in this day and age.
Could you tell us more about the ownership of those mines, their story and what happens with this mine for example in the future? Crazy mine you have there!
Yep, if that's a mine, someone owns it and the minerals it contains. You can't just dive in and remove materials without permission unless you're looking to go to prison.
Jason, you're crazy for going into that mine. But I did enjoy your adventure. There is a lot of gold in that hole. Might be worth acquiring the mine and re building/mining.
Remember brother, "the most important thing that ever comes out of a mine is the miner.". Stay safe I want to be able to come play around with all your toys someday soon. Some great looking material you found there. Good on you!
Thank you Jason for another thrilling adventure!! While picking at the vein and especially pillar my thoughts were why not get a cordless vacuum and suck up all the crumbs that were littering the place?
I have been down in a number of sketchy mines in years past - that one looks like it could be a 'widowmaker'! Hopefully you had someone keeping watch above-ground at the site. The most risky one we encountered was up in the hills north of the Salton Sea in CA. In a drift at the bottom of a shaft with a rickety wooden ladder we came upon a half-box of dynamite sweating out lumps of yellow crystals. 💥
This ground is worth pegging for sure. Gotta risk it to make the biscuit and you have stumbled upon something many prospectors dream of. This is a once in a lifetime find... It deserves geophysics, drilling and proper assaying. Could be plenty left undercover. It is the richest mine you've ever been in and likely ever will be in.
Watch a lot of cave/mine exploration vids and this might be the sketchiest mine I've ever seen someone go in. Stay safe man not all content is worth it.
That's very impressive ...I know exactly where he is... I'm telling you... that is some of the most remote country with a very short season ... very well done!
You are very blessed to have found such a amazing gold mine and lived to show everyone. I wish you all the very best in your future achievements with your new mine! Stay safe and think about installing some new stulls and braces for your safety ! I hope that you hit the motherload! Take care Jason!
Another great video Jason as always. Man that’s a super rich mine for sure some real nice specimens and definitely a super scary mine too. You want to go back in there and put some new stalls in I’m available to come help😁 glad you found your light on the way out too that was coo. Keep up the AUsome work 💪⛏✨⭐️🌟👊
I would suggest a compact led 360 lamp for your underground adventures bro, along with a good battery vacuum and a 3 or 5 gas monitor for air quality, all small and lite weight, but helps with your safety! Peace.
Next time you go exploring a mine like that, make sure to carry some glow sticks/chem lights with you as a backup emergency light source. You may not be able to see well with them, but in a pinch, they'll help you see your way out!
They didn't miss it. They left that tiny support pillar so the roof wouldn't cave in. The pillar size and spacing looks to be incredibly dangerous and risky
The first mistake was not abandoning the effort when the primary light failed. The second mistake was working a pillar. The third mistake was disregarding own safety in a room under collapse. It's hard rock, it's capable... but it'll also squash you flat.
Hey Jason, exploring the abandoned mines is an easy task. The cutest thing is when you discover new fresh gold bearing quartz vein. The most exciting and beautiful. Just try it and capture it in your cam's eye.
Hi Jason, I've watched most of your videos and this is my favorite. It's so exciting to see you find so much gold. I'd take my chances for what you found . That might be a once in a life time find
umm ya that mine might be worth investing in like digging out the rubble and reshoring the roof. really looking forward to more videos in this mine. do it bro get that gold!!!
I have begun to devise a portable, low mass method to rapidly make stulls for such high risk type mines. I was inspired by watching you go through this mine in particular.
claustrophobia warning! ;-) glad you made it out alive and were able to show us the gold! Pretty cool mine but yeah, I am not so sure I could get myself to go in that far.
You know, regarding the gold pillar, there's no way I wouldn't try to get that. But I would plan. I don't know how remote the site is, or if you have access to water. Those things are important for encasing the upper end of that pillar in concrete. I would even try to drive some rebar into the ceiling and floor where I was going to set up my forms. After it set, I would attack the pillar with whatever made the most sense. That way, I could take the whole pillar. The Concrete would replace it. All it takes is time. I'm six months from sixty and I can hump Sacrete uphill for miles if I know there is a payoff that's worth it. I already have a remote claim that is about seven miles back in an area the Forest Service has closed all of the roads in. I've made great use of a yard cart to haul all of my supplies. This year, I'm making something out of a hunting cart. This will allow me to have brakes. I had to rig them up, but they will work. You haven't lived until you've tried to hold back a yard cart from going downhill that has all of your stuff on it, like five gallons of gas and a water pump and motor and all of the pieces of my dredge. I used to roll that thing five or six times every time I went in. Sometimes, when you don't have brakes, you have to make a decision, also, about crashing on purpose, before you get so much speed built up that you will not be able to pick where anything is going next! It's always better to keep things where you have choice. This isn't too far off from how I just got the assay results back from an outcropping I found in a Wilderness Area. You can't do surface disturbance in a Wilderness Area. Too bad because the outcropping came back at over an ounce per ton. I found it in an old prospect pit. The old timers missed it by that much. It is off surface enough that I can take samples. I can't mine it, but I can sample it up to the reasonable point where it's too much surface disturbance. I may have to get creative with the waste dirt. You gotta find a way. This way involves me humping sample bags for a couple of miles, probably one in each hand. I don't want the rangers seeing me humping a cart in and out of the Wilderness Area. If I keep the promise to myself to not fill them too much past halfway, I think I can do it. It's amazing how heavy those things get if you get too greedy. As long as you don't get too greedy, you can put them down every time that your forearms feel like they are about to explode. That way, you can get just enough rest to string carrying them back to your vehicle.
I wish everybody else would give this type of cameras with them and proper lighting. So we can understand what it really looks like. Like Willams, Hurd, should do and were is Klesh. I love you all
I loved the original of this mine you released about 4 months ago! Thank you for all the new footage. Jason, I want to know how old you think this mine is one of the originals from 1848? Which state is it in Washington, Oregon, or California?
That would seem to be a really worthwhile mine to rehab. It would really be a lot of work, but based on what you are finding, it would be really profitable. I would slowly clean out the mine from the portal and put in new stulls and props as needed. Not a real easy or speedy job, but great profit in the end.
Thanks for the vid Jason! Hey I have a question, could you use a metal detector to find gold in the tailings on the ground in that mine? Seems safer to look on the ground rather than picking at the existing structures 😬
That is the best pieces I’ve seen on any of the videos I’ve watched,great looking shiny gold pieces. But don’t go back in there until you get it stabilized,really scary.
Geez, that mine's a lot bigger than it seemed at first. I wouldn't mine it, it's just too scary, I'd go for the great specimens. Good luck to you on developing it however you do it!
I can see the dust going towards your unmasked nose. Silicosis is a real risk for you, especially with prolonged exposure. That and the tons of rocks waiting fall on your head. Excellent footage showing what to look for in minerailzed quartz.
I simply can not wait to get up to the northwest.... That area is amazing as far as geology and mineral deposition go. I intend to spend a few years prospecting all over Washington, maybe I'll reach out to you and stop by some time if I'm near your area. Your knowledge of the western mount baker area is probably far better than most I'll encounter while I'm out prospecting 😂😂!
Gold Fingers, reaching out, saying, Take Me, Take Me! Always remember, she is beautiful, but, dangerous. Thank you, Jason, what a mine, too tight for me. I'm seeing the video, so I know you made it out. That was one sketchy mine.
A whole lot of mines developed some serious slips as a result of the 1964 Alaska quake. My bro, who prospected all over the Baker nat'l forest and checked out those old claims would never go back in them after that. He stuck to panning the creeks below them with my dad.
Hi Jason, Enjoyed watching the mining part again. Have you considered putting a claim on that mine? Is it in the US or Canada? As rich as it is - (in both ore & specimens) it might be worth going back. Another idea for your diamond saw: You might consider getting a thinner diamond blade just for cutting gold ore. You make less sludge - keep more gold in the quartz. And remember to keep the sludge - you can smelt it to recover the gold. Thumbs up! Stay safe! Jim
Vogus has a video on those ones with visible gold on several points of a piece of quartz. He uses an electrical tester to see if two points on the outside connect internally meaning they are one larger piece internally. Those are good candidates for dissolving the quartz leaving the gold sculptures behind. Some are out of this world looking crystalline gold. You do realize that sawing those pieces in half means that the saw curf put gold dust in your oil bath don't you? Might be worth the loss if those slabs sell for a premium, but just a thought.
Could you go into an old mine with steel beams and replace the old wood if the seam was worth it? Perhaps create a concrete pillar to be able to pull out the pillars left in place?
Geez! You had the gold fever! I would have turned back at the entrance. I sighed with relief when you decided to turn back at that hole with the planks and the ladder! Amazing gold though!
That mine should give you nightmares. It would me lol. Very nice gold content. Wonder why the really nice stuff is so hard to get. Thanks for the videos.
Dang Jason, awesome video. But that old mine is sketchy as someone who is underground everyday for work and doing youtube videos on the weekends thats a mine i would have skipped untill i saw that much gold thwn i would have sampled bags and bags. You did it proper..
Boundary Red mine has really good quality ore except that it’s being carried out through the drainage on the east side of the mountain. You should check it out sometime if you can get contact and permission
Would it be worth making the mine safe to work in or would it be a lost cause? One other thing. I noticed a lot of debris on the ground. Would the debris have gold contents worth bagging up and processing?
I saw a piece of ore here in Alaska that weighed 10to 12 lbs and was shot thru with thick wire gold, lots of it, with continuity from one side to the other. The guy who found it was a tourist and he picked it up in a mine area parking lot.
Jason, Here's an opinion of a retired Mine Engineer with 45 years of mining experience: Death trap. You used up a whole life time worth of luck playing around in that mine with out installing roof support and testing air quality. The geology of the ore deposit was fascinating.
Jason: "Whoa! This is a super sketchy mine. Rotten timber. Roof has fallen in."
Jason:
Yeah, I don't know what's worse: a more stable mine loaded with _"critters"_ or one like this where even the snakes and rodents avoid.
A dangerous case of gold FEVER!
Stay safe Jason.
😂 I was inflicted with that once, too.
He’s got a wildness to him, doesn’t he 😅
I am always against robbing pillers due to all the horror stories about people collapsing the roof on themselves. But, when Jason asked if we would try collecting the oar from the pillers, I just started nodding subconsciously, I guess I got gold fever from watching, too.😂😂😂😂😂😂
@baTonkaTruck I love watching both Jason and SREETIPS refining gold. I love SREETIPS and his Aqua Regina refining and Jason doing fire assays!
@@danielcarter305 The old miners new better then the engineers, there's a reason they leave those pillars alone!
That mine is totally scary. Great job Jason!
vacuum along the bottom of the pillars?
your videos are awesome jason!
i prospect all around the south okanagan
Watch you in that mine really helped me understand my Uncle who owned two gold mines and spent his life trying to hit it rich. I was too young at the time to understand him but I sure did like going to visit him. He truly followed his dream.

Is more a case was the price of gold at that time worth the effort to dig it.
Maybe they left it behind because it was deemed too dangerous to continue 👀
Crazy dangerous mine dude.. definitely looks worth shoring up and reworking.
Safe mining Jason.
Peace Prospector Tripp

Remember brother, "the most important thing that ever comes out of a mine is the miner.". Stay safe I want to be able to come play around with all your toys someday soon. Some great looking material you found there. Good on you!
I bet there is more than double the gold once you roast all the sulphides, so with free gold and sulphides man does it look rich indeed
Thank you Jason for another thrilling adventure!! While picking at the vein and especially pillar my thoughts were why not get a cordless vacuum and suck up all the crumbs that were littering the place?
The ole Dan Hurd trick lol
Agree. Probably several ounces of gold around all of the worked faces.

great to see another vid from you in a mine! Hope this turns into a continuing adventure for you and us viewers! Thanks for the awesome content!
Watch a lot of cave/mine exploration vids and this might be the sketchiest mine I've ever seen someone go in. Stay safe man not all content is worth it.
I'm guessing you haven't watched many of Franks early(pre-Sharon) videos. Can't get much sketchier than those.
Talc mines are by far my biggest hell no. they always look like they are melting
The African mine he went in was pretty sketch too.
Dude, he's not doing it for the content, he's doing it for the gold.
Just one more piece from that pillar!... Just one more piece... wait! Just that one more piece! Lol
Thanks Jason for this awesome video.
Killer Mine with Killer Gold ! Soooo Glad You You were able to get out and share it with Us !
Man, that’s some pretty crazy rich gold
That's very impressive ...I know exactly where he is... I'm telling you... that is some of the most remote country with a very short season ... very well done!

What a scary looking mine, thanks for filming that.
Looks like a project to open this mine, hope that you can get some equipment up there!
Insanely sketchy mine but what a crazy amount of gold! Awesome video stay safe!
Next time you go exploring a mine like that, make sure to carry some glow sticks/chem lights with you as a backup emergency light source. You may not be able to see well with them, but in a pinch, they'll help you see your way out!

Man I can't believe how deep they go in all directions..... That's crazy and scary good luck man
I have begun to devise a portable, low mass method to rapidly make stulls for such high risk type mines.
I was inspired by watching you go through this mine in particular.
Been waiting a long time to see the results of that that suicide mine gold. That stuff is amazing
Oh wow I didn't think I was claustrophobic until I watched that!! That was spooky dangerous!
Awesome Jason. Very interesting. Nice job
Great video!
claustrophobia warning! ;-) glad you made it out alive and were able to show us the gold! Pretty cool mine but yeah, I am not so sure I could get myself to go in that far.
Do you save the saw dust? It looks like you grind up quite a lot of gold with the blade while slabbing samples!
You know, regarding the gold pillar, there's no way I wouldn't try to get that. But I would plan. I don't know how remote the site is, or if you have access to water.

Great adventure, I get it but I don’t want to lose you either. Selfish reasons, I really really enjoy your teachings! Stay safe brother! God bless you

man if that ore was not mine'd out, and was mine'd today you would make out like a bandit lol. super rich mine great find
Thank for teaching Jason, you deserve a doctorate of mining.
I would definitely take a battery operated shop-vac and go to town along the seams and floor and get about 5 bags of the ore dust. Chris.
I Say "pick at it!" Omg I was getting just as excited as you were when seeing that spot!
I spent many years over 3,000 ft underground coal mines. I would love to find such a place as you did. thanks for sharing your video. with me .
This mine is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen...I could understand Jason's excitement
Thanks for the vid Jason! Hey I have a question, could you use a metal detector to find gold in the tailings on the ground in that mine? Seems safer to look on the ground rather than picking at the existing structures 😬
Jeff Williams uses a metal detector inside his mine, so I don't see why not.
I would claim that if possible and go in and result the hanging wall. Then I would run a detector over every inch of that mine and the tailings
That is the best pieces I’ve seen on any of the videos I’ve watched,great looking shiny gold pieces. But don’t go back in there until you get it stabilized,really scary.
Is incredible beautiful
Do you always go to these excursions alone or do you have someone with you in case something went wrong?
Love the raw real footage of gold fever!!!
Geez, that mine's a lot bigger than it seemed at first. I wouldn't mine it, it's just too scary, I'd go for the great specimens. Good luck to you on developing it however you do it!

Do you hold your breath in your car driving behind a tesla
@@danielvannuland2681 😂 wait till he finds out how toxic the interiors of cars are from all the off gassing of the plastics.
I simply can not wait to get up to the northwest....
That area is amazing as far as geology and mineral deposition go.

I’d be back in that mine the next day!!! Wow
I've seen the video before but it's still unbelievable how dodgy that mine is 😰
Gold Fingers, reaching out, saying, Take Me, Take Me! Always remember, she is beautiful, but, dangerous. Thank you, Jason, what a mine, too tight for me. I'm seeing the video, so I know you made it out. That was one sketchy mine.

Nice adventure, don't think k I personally could stay in there that long with all that was going on in there.
Great job when you find a vein that rich it's time to open it up
Hi Jason, Enjoyed watching the mining part again. Have you considered putting a claim on that mine? Is it in the US or Canada? As rich as it is - (in both ore & specimens) it might be worth going back. Another idea for your diamond saw: You might consider getting a thinner diamond blade just for cutting gold ore. You make less sludge - keep more gold in the quartz. And remember to keep the sludge - you can smelt it to recover the gold. Thumbs up! Stay safe! Jim
Hey Jason, if I was there, I would take, a LARGE SAMPLE, that vein is very rich!!👍
Vogus has a video on those ones with visible gold on several points of a piece of quartz. He uses an electrical tester to see if two points on the outside connect internally meaning they are one larger piece internally. Those are good candidates for dissolving the quartz leaving the gold sculptures behind. Some are out of this world looking crystalline gold. You do realize that sawing those pieces in half means that the saw curf put gold dust in your oil bath don't you? Might be worth the loss if those slabs sell for a premium, but just a thought.
Really enjoying this series.
Any chance of a 3d sketch of the mine? It'll give us context of the various drifts, lifts sinks etc. Many thanks.
Is the risk worth the reward? Thank you for doing this so we don't have to!!! 🙂
Could you go into an old mine with steel beams and replace the old wood if the seam was worth it? Perhaps create a concrete pillar to be able to pull out the pillars left in place?
Very very Sketchy mine .
Very high grade ore .
Ya know those tunnel boring machines 🤔🙃
Nice video sir
😎
Sketchy AF. Those little sparks at the drill tip at 6:45 are pretty cool.
Geez! You had the gold fever! I would have turned back at the entrance. I sighed with relief when you decided to turn back at that hole with the planks and the ladder! Amazing gold though!
Awesome stuff ! Love the Gold ! Don’t want to know where that mine is lol
When the gold fever strikes, caution is thrown into the wind...
I love this channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
That mine should give you nightmares. It would me lol. Very nice gold content. Wonder why the really nice stuff is so hard to get. Thanks for the videos.
If gold was that easy to get many would be dead out of greed
That's one of those mines you know you shouldn't have entered, then visit it years later to find it all came down. Balls of steel right there
😂😂😂all Jason need is a black cape and batmobile
Think I would be bagging up a lot of scraps from the floor too. As I continued watching, saw where you ended up doing just that.
If anyone does not know what high grading is, you do now!!!
There is not enough gold in the world to get me in there
Lol...I cannot breathe in such enclose places
Dang Jason, awesome video. But that old mine is sketchy as someone who is underground everyday for work and doing youtube videos on the weekends thats a mine i would have skipped untill i saw that much gold thwn i would have sampled bags and bags. You did it proper..
You should give some of the that to your patreons. Great job Jason.
Boundary Red mine has really good quality ore except that it’s being carried out through the drainage on the east side of the mountain. You should check it out sometime if you can get contact and permission
Nice gold, thanks for the inspiration. I'm going panning now, every little bit of gold counts and the more dirt I wash the more gold I get.
Couldnt you come back with some stout timbers and stabilize the area? sounds like an investment but also sounds like it would be worth it.
Amazing work, Jason. Hard rock mining looks fascinating, but I think I'll stick with placer mining.
So THAT'S what gold fever sounds/looks like!
Would it be worth making the mine safe to work in or would it be a lost cause? One other thing. I noticed a lot of debris on the ground. Would the debris have gold contents worth bagging up and processing?
I saw a piece of ore here in Alaska that weighed 10to 12 lbs and was shot thru with thick wire gold, lots of it, with continuity from one side to the other. The guy who found it was a tourist and he picked it up in a mine area parking lot.
That was a sketchy mine for sure! Its definitely rich with gold. Nice find and awesome vid!! Be safe out there
Feels like I'm going to watch the on-land version of 'The Titan'...
