You went all out on the closeups of the mineralization. You captured light reflection of small crystals twinkling like stars. I like it a lot! Sulfides of many metals. Fe, Ag, Pb, Cu to name a few. Nice camera for 1080p on my display.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the close up shots of the heavily mineralized chamber.! Adds a much appreciated dimension to the mine exploring for us geologists In the audience. That chamber was a treasure chest of minerals.
As always, these videos of yours just seem to fly by and end too soon! I loved the creative name for the narrow drift: "Velveeta cheese drift." It just doesn't get any better than that!
I've read from several sources how water circulates around a plume of hot subsurface magma dissolving minerals and redepositing then in a sequence of copper, lead, zinc near the surface as the water cools and the pressure decreases. What I haven't heard explained is how the entire periodic table is deposited in a chamber like you visited. What a magical place.
For those that don't know, the spitter cord connects to fuse ignitors that lights the safety fuse. You only have to light the spitter cord it then lights all other fuses in the round. A old safety and delay system.
A very nice explore, after the first entrance looking down i thought there was a body lying around it looked just like a leg with a foot on it lol and a nice boombox at the end. Looked like there was a lot more downstairs 😀
I've been enjoying your efforts for around 6/7 years and I have a small request.would it be possible to do an ASMR video just walking through a mine (maybe with some text pointing out interesting points). No problem if it would take too much time to sort out,there's just something calming about the crunch of the boots on the floor (for me at least).cheers and keep exploring sir.
Incredible mineralization for sure. The old buildings always make me think of the miners and the lives they lived. Yer sure getting popular with the feds there J. The helo chasing you around is a sure sign they love ya.
Defenetely an interesting trip in this mine! Do you know what kind of mineralization down there? The way they mined it is pretty looking for a short mine!
Had one as a kid. Western Fence/Spiny Lizard, or variation. Blue belly gets brighter when they warm up. Mine was injured by predator before I caught it so had only one eye and a gimpy front leg. It lived well for a couple years on meal worms and other bugs. Name was "Popeye". Ha ha.
After watching several years of his videos, if he is taking samples he's very secretive about it. The general M.O. is that he takes videos, not samples.
That nicotine coloured water looks like a sulphur pool (sulphuric acid), we see very similar here in the UK when there are sulphur rich mineral formations
It’s surprising that the second mine had such extensive tunneling but almost no stopes or winzes. I imagine the areas that were plugged were where the stopes were
Did you find a Gnome hideout? In the 1960's my friend's big brother (Donald Carter) died exploring a Nevada mine. I never knew he was interested until after.....
@@TVRExploring It was a long time ago and I lost track of her 40 years ago. All I remember is how hard it was to have his body flown back to LA from rural Nevada.
@@jacka5676 What does Border Patrol actually do these days? Did one of our new southern friends call and report himself lost, then ask them for a ride to the bus station?
I'd be tempted to dig in that rubble if the box full of pristine fuse cord etc was still there, I highly doubt many people have found that spot..wonder whst could be buried there.
It is hard to believe that they got all the minerals out of that one chamber. I know that the old miners were pretty good at taking the good stuff and the mine shows evidence of later visits by geologists, but it just can't be that colorful and be low grade ore???? But, what do I know, not a geologist either.
Even though the BLM is a US organization? Surely we can allow our friends across the pond to make a few jokes at our expense? We certainly deserve it, to some extent. If you can’t laugh at yourself, you have no right to laugh at anyone else, I say.
Very good video as usual. Thing is, your a miner, shouldn't you know just a few of the minerals you see? Not being mean. I am NOT a geologist so who am I to say. 🤪
BLM and Forest service? Was that automatic G.F. ? Probably after somebody not wearing their helmet on their quad . What is an $85 tickets plus whatever else we can add it only cost $13,000 Plus $102,000 administration fee to write that ticket and whatever their wages are but we don’t count that our good old government. If you only knew how much they spent putting up these iron gates on these holes in the mountain unbelievable amounts . Plumbers has a full-time employee that’s all they do in six or seven assistance. Especially when the fire still going you know that stuff burned up that they spray around The mines. And they go out instead of fighting fire after the fire goes through and they seal them back up when the fire still out of control. Small gate cost more than a nice House 80% of the cost of the aministration . I think flying around in the helicopter is expensive plus their wages plus whatever else they’re doing +80% for aministration your tax dollars at work. If you poke around to the forest service stuff you can find all that they sent a lot of that stuff to me because I was on the list and Trying to keep the forest open so the people can access it it’s a little easier after the fire but it was getting bad before they didn’t want people in the forest they were down to that. They literally had maps that they were going to put out if that road was not on that map in the forest you could not go on you automatically Lose your vehicle vehicle forfeiture and huge fines. You couldn’t park more than a vehicle and a half lOff the road unless it was marked on that map and you don’t even have to break the law to get your vehicle impound scary fisherman goodbye miners ,mine explorers goodbye. They were supposed to wait 10 years and then it would be already implemented and nobody could do shit about it but the only waited three and then they wanted the Plumas County Sheriff to help them start enforcing it that’s when he found out that he can take away their power in the county so they can’t write no tickets and he did and three other counties here look it up on the Internet Plumas County Sheriff stands up to the forest service. It went viral in less than three hours it was so popular that’s why the other counties jumped on it the sheriffs department phones Internet that was all jammed up. People that was going hell yeah
Your sort of making this one up. Neither the BLM or the Forrest Service would be involved in law enforcement operations using Airbus H125's against mine explorers. Both the BLM and Forrest Service contract with commercial helicopter companies, whose pilots are not piece officer certified (allowed to carry firearm). Only DHS/CBP operate the H125, with pilots who are trained law enforcement officers.
I hope that you're playing along with the joke and are not being serious... Of course I was making that up. It was a joke! Did you not hear the automatic weapons fire? As far as I know, the Forest Service and BLM are not machine gunning mine explorers yet. Again, it was a joke.
Would really like it if you could state what was being mined in each place you visit,kind of fundamental to understanding what we’re seeing,love the vids but am always really frustrated to not know what they were chasing..🤦♂️😆👍

I have no idea what you were showing us with that mineralization but it sure was beautiful.
Rock hounds! Would love this one.

Beautiful chamber of color down there. Thank you for bringing it to the eyes of many who will not make it down there
I'm addicted to those minerals!!! 👍
Thank you for this wonderfull colours in the mine.
Nature is the best painter
Glück Auf greetings from Germany
Yours Frank
Cool video friend thank you and please keep the great videos coming. From Scotland 😊
What a view man 🤩 just a awesome gold mine from the cars.. what a history of those there grr 😆
thank again for a great walk through.....always look forward to watching
Great video that you sharing with his boss and I love that chamber of minerals was absolutely amazing
As always, these videos of yours just seem to fly by and end too soon! I loved the creative name for the narrow drift: "Velveeta cheese drift." It just doesn't get any better than that!
Awesome!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
AWESOME mine!! Damn I wish you had a UV light in that chamber! 😮 gorgeous!! 😊
Thanks for sharing Justin
BAHA! “CHEESE-FOOD?!?!” What the absolute crap am I even supposed to think about that? Oh man, gave me an award-winning chuckle, did that.

I'm case anyone's interested, the car was a 1940's Chevy or other GM (pre 1949).
For those that don't know, the spitter cord connects to fuse ignitors that lights the safety fuse. You only have to light the spitter cord it then lights all other fuses in the round. A old safety and delay system.
The Velveeta squeeze drift!
Gorgeous!
0:21 BLM got to all the mines where I live in the Owens Valley. Such a bummer since there’s so many here! What a Cool location you found!
Black light flashlight would be bomb in there.
Thank you. 👍😁
Great explore.
Wow that one highly mineralized area was pretty spectacular indeed.
A very nice explore, after the first entrance looking down i thought there was a body lying around it looked just like a leg with a foot on it lol and a nice boombox at the end. Looked like there was a lot more downstairs 😀

Incredible mineralization for sure. The old buildings always make me think of the miners and the lives they lived. Yer sure getting popular with the feds there J. The helo chasing you around is a sure sign they love ya.
Why'd that helo sound like it was firing a .50 cal?!
LoL guess they're taking Stay Out/Stay Alive a little bit too seriously!!
The video of the chopper was from along way out.
I couldn't tell, did it have rocket pods or just door guns ?
They where out doing maneuvers
Awesome video. I love the mines. The minerals are awesome. What's the blue minerals? Thank you for showing this.
Nice mix of Minerals is there going to be more and I enjoyed this cause I going to hunker down for the hurricane! 😮
Spending way too much time on the minerals.,
Couldn’t resist 😮 they definitely are beautiful to look at!
Thanks for show n tell.
Defenetely an interesting trip in this mine! Do you know what kind of mineralization down there? The way they mined it is pretty looking for a short mine!
@33:45 I suspect that was food storage. Partially underground to keep things cool. Be strange to have explosive storage so close to that fire pit.
So weird to see the box with fuse cord and blasting caps like that!
Wow!
Great explore with stunning mineralisation!
Maybe you need to add a MANPADS to your gear 🤔
Lizard spotting 2:13
Had one as a kid. Western Fence/Spiny Lizard, or variation. Blue belly gets brighter when they warm up. Mine was injured by predator before I caught it so had only one eye and a gimpy front leg. It lived well for a couple years on meal worms and other bugs. Name was "Popeye". Ha ha.
Do you ever take samples from some of these mines?
After watching several years of his videos, if he is taking samples he's very secretive about it. The general M.O. is that he takes videos, not samples.
What does the assay and geological reports say about this mine?
Heck yeah!!!!
That nicotine coloured water looks like a sulphur pool (sulphuric acid), we see very similar here in the UK when there are sulphur rich mineral formations
18:28 Oh you know Jeff Williams would be in there with a pallet of sampling bags and a jackhammer!
I would love to go exploring with you

Do you know the details of the accident that killed him?
@@TVRExploring It was a long time ago and I lost track of her 40 years ago. All I remember is how hard it was to have his body flown back to LA from rural Nevada.
What was going on with helicopters, ha ha.
Border patrol
@@jacka5676
What does Border Patrol actually do these days? Did one of our new southern friends call and report himself lost, then ask them for a ride to the bus station?
The building behind the cabin is a root seller not for expensive storage
They sell roots?
That small outbuilding could have been an icehouse for food storage.
Hey. What kind of mine was this? Like what was taken out? Gold silver or just different types of minerals
That information is always in the description below the video.
The last place you showed looks like a food storage shed with the pipe coming in and that close to the house
I'd be tempted to dig in that rubble if the box full of pristine fuse cord etc was still there, I highly doubt many people have found that spot..wonder whst could be buried there.
I clicked so fast
Yes you did
If they put track in that skinny drift it'll have to be HO gauge.
It would've been really funny if someone did that as a joke.
There used to be rail in the left adit. I'm guessing they moved it to the right hand side that caved in.
That car looks dry has potential 🧐 bullet holes make ya feel like a mobster you could say it was al capones 😂
It's clear that it's got copper and other sophide mineralogy.
@13:30 there are two objects on the ground that look like flashlights. Any ideas?
Another one @14:37
what the noise that starts @18:23 it sounds like clicking
Auto focus mechanism?
The yellows I'm seeing: Sulfur or Iron oxide?
Where is this!? I never ask but need to know
Did you change you mic set up? the last few videos have back round noise that I've never heard in the past.
It sounds like crickets at night.When he zoom in real close
You should take a black light with you. I have a feeling that chamber would have been even more 'psychedelic'.
What were those pigs shooting at?
Those ore bins do not just fall down nor do the cabins!
What is the blue mineral? See that in alot in these mines
He said copper
What type of mine was this? Ore wise that is.
That information is always in the description below the video.

What about the buried box??????
Unfortunately, I had to edit that part out to avoid running afoul of the TH-cam overlords.
Iocg mine ?
I so wanted to say something funny about BLM but I’m British and I’d end up in jail 😢 got to say how sad when we can’t even joke around 😢
Even though the BLM is a US organization? Surely we can allow our friends across the pond to make a few jokes at our expense? We certainly deserve it, to some extent. If you can’t laugh at yourself, you have no right to laugh at anyone else, I say.
Remember last time we let them fool around? We got haggis and blood sausage that tastes like scabs.😱
Very good video as usual.
Thing is, your a miner, shouldn't you know just a few of the minerals you see?
Not being mean. I am NOT a geologist so who am I to say.
🤪
Im guessing most miners were/are only experts in the ores they were looking for
BLM and Forest service?
Was that automatic G.F. ?
Probably after somebody not wearing their helmet on their quad .

I was hoping a geologist would chime in on the videos and tell us what we're looking at
You ever read the description below the videos? Every single time I put what they were mining in the description.
