We want to thank Chris Adams for giving us permission to explore one of his mines in the Tecopa / Noonday area and Joanne and Tony for their expertise on rope. This was a very fun explore and if you would like to give it a go or even help restore and rehab these old mines just get ahold of Chris and he will be more than happy to have ya help out . Thanks facebook.com/people/Chris-Adams/100075464394112/
That' sounds good for a new start for young people trying to find something to do with their life but how far can anyone expand on their own life if they aren't able to do more than what someone else wants them to do. So I think give a little to get a little and soon that little bit by little bit will be greater than any other.. like any good friend ships is always built up through time .
Thank you for mentioning that patented mining claims are private property. It's sad that so many people don't respect private property. I always ask the people I catch trespassing if I can get their address so I can go rummage through their home while they're rummaging through my ore dumps
@Josey Wilds not a patented mining claim, which is what he said. patented you own the land, and the mineral rights. its private property, period. regular mining claim? then you are correct.
The Crazy thing is when Patent Claims and Regular Claims should have Owner info so you can ask for permission. I have access to a 40 acre Patent Claim and let them know everytime I would like to go even though they gave me permission. Just so they know I am out there and they can join if they want.
👍🏼 Awesome!!! but Too much climbing around for my old bones!! it would be interesting to live there!! but in the words of the Late Great Merle Haggard,,🎸"I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink". ✌🏼
TEST 123 AUDIO,,10/4= VERY NICE ON OUR NEW MIC,,SOUNDS GREAT EVEN IN THE WIND..THANK LELA FOR CAMERA WORK,AND THANK YOU JEFF FOR THE GREAT TOUR..STAY WELL .
I’m so impressed , I’m so glad someone gives a hoot and not into distraction . The people who dug all that spent lifetimes mucking and digging . The only thing anyone should be doing is paying respect and honor to anyone who ever spent time with a pick and shovel.
Happiness is... Getting out of work on a Friday night, eating supper, having a few beers and WATCHING JEFF WILLIAMS!!!!! My son wondered why I was laughing so I had to explain about having the O2 detector so close to my butt! Looked a bit dicey tonight. PLEASE don't be the next "Steve Irwin" of mine explorers! Thanks for all the videos and please keep them coming!
I’m in SC, want to come to AZ for the first time ever to metal detect etc..I hope that being a Patreon with that “Jeff Williams” dude will get me out past west of the Mississippi some day!
You guys amaze me how you climb those ladders without fear! You dont just talk the talk...you walk the walk! Kudos for being in great health too! Stay safe!👍
Hi Professor Jeff! You were mentioning the dynamite companies but failed to mention the best one of the bunch. "Acme" brand, loved and endorsed by Wile e Coyote, hated by Roadrunners. Dooooooooh. 💣💣💣
The houses in the side of the hill were very cool. Loved the mine tour. Very awesome that the property owner is taking the time to fix-up and preserve the mines for posterity.
Totally amazing adventure, all of those tunnels and all of those ladders and levels are so mind boggling. You Gave me completely out …just watching you , what a huge workout. Cannot imagine having to build all of that… those guys were tough! I smashed that like button hard… for all that hard work and major effort…..Bringing us along , during your journey! ⛏⛏⛏💯💯💯
Unbelievable… Thanks for sharing your awesome adventures Jeff and Lila.. You guys are legends.. Wonderful video editing to guys.. There is a place called Burra in South Australia where they were mining ⛏ copper..in the late 1800 So hot in the summer time so a lot of people dug in the old deep creek bed side walls to make a room to sleep and live in.. Unfortunately.. when it rains out that way.4 inches of rain 🌧 in a few hours and then those old dry creek beds filled up with water 💦 and hundreds died. A lesson learned. Cheers Famo59 🍻👍⛏
just a little safety tip from a climber.. the "brake" hand goes UNDER the belay device not above! Very dangerous as it reduces the energy going into the belay/rappel device and is greater risk for failure-
wow a dust storm ,..I hate vandals , If them people actually knew how much work go's into something like that ,they'd have more respect ..Stay Safe Mr.Jeff and crew
I want to buy one them miner homes ! When the world goes to crap, that's the best place to be !! Love the adventures down under too !! Some parts appear workable. Can you imagine how juicy those veins looked when old timers were digging ? We're just seeing the leftovers, and it still looks impressive. Patented land should reduce government red tape so they can reopen ! Thanks again for taking us down there. You folks be safe. 👍🤠⛏⚒
that sounds like a plan Allan ....we want the one that has to floors .... I know...right ...exactly and always our pleasure my brother .... be safe out there
The living quarters carved into the hillside are so awesome . I can imagine how cool it would be to make one. It's like the forts I built as a kid, only way better. This is another great video. Thank you 😊
Dear Jeff, we have those same mics and love them! On a vid yet to come out, though, a magnet was lost from a small slip and fall, so we were holding our breath with you climbing those ladders! Also, we couldn't catch our breath while you were climbing the ladders. We don't know if anyone else did, but we heard this weird burst of wind right before your oxygen meter went off in the beginning. We also did smash that like button, built a time machine, went back and smashed it again and again and again, then realized we are caught in a vicious time slip cycle and can't get out. Please send help.
thats great ....we were hoping to get some info on them ..... we dropped it down the shaft and decided to clip them onto the harness ....much better .... hahahhaha that would be them Cowboy eggs and beans you heard or a mine duck ....hahhahaha thats great ....thanks for smashing that like button through different possible universes .... look for the U.S.S Eldridge while you are there so we can get you out through a worm hole. Be safe out there and hope to see ya soon ....in this dimension
Love your curiosity. I think the wax paper was probably inside the dynamite box as the dynamite leeches oil or nitro whatever that stuff is. I find it absolutely amazing that people could dig so far. Brings to mind old episodes of Hogan's heroes.
Awesome video guys! Funny Jeff, you started singing Safety Dance. I personally know Ivan from Men Without Hats. We hang a few times a year in Metchosin here on Vancouver Island. 🙂
Hello Jeff and Lila that was really enjoyable you would think crawling about in a old mine would be boring to watch especially 47mins but I was glued to the screen Joanne is something else for a big girl she can put a shift on which would put some young guns to shame I really do admire her she would be the perfect role model to all the big fat couch potatoes 😂Also Lila she makes me laugh out loud when she mumbles away while climbing the ladder I can’t make out a word she says but it’s so cute your one lucky man but you already know that well Jeff that’s enough from me looking forward to the next adventure all the best Laddie from Glasgow Scotland 🏴
Nice mate. You have the right approach to mine exploring and one we respect. If only everyone in the community would adhere to that. I would travel all the way from Australia to visit & help Chris with the War Eagle 🦅
Hey, Jeff! Julie here, Tom's busy editing so I thought I'd check to see what you've been up to. Looks like you all got a good work out! Some nice finds in this one, especially the dynamite box. Thanks for the tour, stay safe and keep them pants on!
Hi Julie, yes we did , you know what that can be like huh ..... there is even more at the very bottom ore care , flat bed cars and a winze with skip car ..... you betcha and too late they got blown clean off hahhahahahaha
Hello Mr and Mrs Williams . Man what a work out I can see them muscle getting bigger . Cool mine or one giant mice I mean human maze 😆 . Thank you Jeff I get to see places so cool because I'll never get a chance to be there And thank you for all the hard work you put into the videos 😁👍🏾🌵
those two lines you thought was oil, are actually boot dragging marks. My grandpa said his brother and him would take turns each day getting dragged out while they took a nap. anyway,,,, another great video !
Hey Jeff! Cool explore! Sad about the head frame, fires happen when people hang out at abandoned places, and alcohol is present. Such a shame. The Price Albert pipe tobacco box is a cool find! That dates between 1942-1945, when tin went to war. Very rare to find the cardboard boxes!
Running out of oxygen, I thought that was another suspicious noise that decreased the 02 level. The wife is quite the adventurer which is truly a great one to have along on your adventures. It takes a lot of stamina and courage to climb and go down those long shafts. It would really suck getting about halfway up and no way to proceed. Very interesting mine to explore, a little long but you can't just stop watching because of that.
thank you much for the awesome adventure down into the underworld. what amazing architectural geometry was employed to put all that there..omg ! another pair of pants ...gone
Omg, that was a qwesome explore u guys. Looks like Joanne has lost some weight. Yeah, and your movie quote references in the mine, is the same stuff I say. Dang Jeff u so much like me in alot of ways. Lula is so cute and fun. Them stone rooms were coil too and nice and cool all year around. Happy Trails and c ya on the next one.
Do you know Jeff personally Mr Bottcher? Because if not then how can you never think you would ever see Lela explore mines? Just a question, excuse me if I'm being rude.
That two hole outhouse reminded me of camping at camp Steiner in Utah (not sure if I spelled that correctly) it was way back in the day growing up I went there in the boy scouts. There was a two hole outhouse there too. We called it the gang toitie lol. I remember there was a big lake that was safe. And a short distance away there was a lake, more like swamp and it was filled with leaches.
Hey I have one the prince Albert cans I think it's never been opened. And what's the joke? Well you better let him out. I really enjoy your channel keep it up.
You know I always like to see a couple where they share the same passion and she's down there and she knows it's dangerous so do you but you both share the same passion and she's right beside you that's beautiful it's a lot of couples in this world that don't do that so I tip my hat off to her she's a brave woman for even going down there I wouldn't go down there I'm chicken I sure would like to see what whatever is laying the eggs in your drift
I thought I seen everything, guess I missed that one. war eagle got loved to death. I remember back in 91 how amazing all those mines were. I spoke too soon. Now I know. Ok, that's a fun one. It's been some 20 years ago I seen it
Sh1t happens. Pard and I were chipping away at a nearly all-metal wall one day underground. I was holding the sample bag and light and was seeing little puffs of gasseous sulfur (diox maybe?) released from the impact, and also a spark from the pyrite that ignited that little cloud. Little 1" fire demons dancing around. No fire there though- we were ankle deep in water and it was all solid rock workings.
Hay Jeff I used to work in a paper tube factory and the tubes I made was Dynamite tubes and they were 3.126 diameter buy 28" long for the company exactech and they supplied the open pit mine industry.
That's DRAGON SLIME on the floor. Next High Tide in Sumonga will drive them to you! 😥😥😂🤣 They'll have to use the caves & tunnel systems if enough plastic accumulates in the basin.
I’ll bet those idiots that lit the fire would have pooped themselves if for some reason there was a stick of trinitrotoluene. 🤣🤣🤣 that masonry is called dry set or dry lock. Waaay cool buddy. Love the ruff-cut lumber.
A fire inside a mine is a terrifying thought. It would burn like a torch sucking air from one side and just blazing out the other direction. Not to mention it would consume all the available oxygen too. The sound would be a deafening roar. Just a super scary scenario.
Interesting as always tough work trying to keep. History alive instead people have to distructive i think. I. Was born to. Late or this is round two. I. Love history never minded hard work be the accident
17:05 he has that backwards, over 90 degrees you start to lose that strength anything under is better so the closer the anchors are say around 30 degrees would be much better and keep a lot of the rope strength. But you have to also remember that every knot you put into a rope decreases the strength of the rope. Just always something to keep in mind
@@Askjeffwilliams yup, unfortunately any knot will lower the strength of the rope, but it being a climbing rope you don’t have to worry about it only having a few knots you would not be able to tell a difference, you would need a lot more weight on the rope then just one person. I’ve had a few search and rescue trainings on all of this! Awesome video tho!! Stay safe.
i have never got to get out there to look for gold i wish but that never happen I'm getting old cant get out much now i want to say i like your videos and i want to say thank you for doing this so we know what to do looking for gold you sir have a real heart of gold god have bless you you a good man a lot of ppl don't want to tell ppl where to go to get gold they lie to you a lot but you sir try to help out much you can i wish i can come out there to look for gold with you one day I'm getting old lol well you take care i hope you hit it big one day and i hope you hit a big gold nugget as big as your foot is be safe in there you take care sir happy digging
This is what I love about this guy. No matter how big his channel gets, Jeff Williams always reads and replys to your comment, and in a timely matter too! Hey wheres Slim?? He off claim jumpin again?
Jeff Check out the orange Gundlach knee pads , hinged ! I’ve been using them for 27 years as a flooring installer and they have literally saved my knees from blowing out
@@Askjeffwilliams You’re very welcome brother Gota save them knees and that back, you got a lot of digging to do so dig it out! But if you really want to dig out something that’s quite amazing and leaves a whole Lotta room for the thrill of the chase , I’ve got woolly mammoths underneath my playa lake . A world renowned archaeologist Dr.Stance Hurst came out to my place and said that I would have multiple woolly mammoth‘s . I’m looking for some like-minded people that like to dig it out and who love the thrill of the chase . hit me back if this astounds and confounds you! 💯👊🏻

So I think give a little to get a little and soon that little bit by little bit will be greater than any other.. like any good friend ships is always built up through time .
Oil to keep the dust down, maybe?
what four companies supplied the dynamite during the time of this mine?
I hope when retire that I can take the time to roam the California deserts where Camp Cockscomb used to be and keep the old ghosts company.
Red worms to scare the pants off of you. Lol

I never thought I'd see Lela going mine exploring, and doing so good at it.
CONGRATS 👏
actually she has been on every one of them holding the camera ....just recently started filming her
Do you know Jeff personally Mr Bottcher? Because if not then how can you never think you would ever see Lela explore mines?

Lost it when the ol toothless one let a growler off and no oxygen lmao keep it golden jeff

I couldn't hardly find anything Googling for the cardboard Prince Albert boxes. Must be pretty darn rare for them to survive.
nice push , right before o2 alarm.
Sh1t happens. Pard and I were chipping away at a nearly all-metal wall one day underground.

Little 1" fire demons dancing around. No fire there though- we were ankle deep in water and it was all solid rock workings.
At one of the coal mines I worked in, some miners called the gas detectors “tattle tails” for that reason. 😁

Come on down!!
Let's Goooo
A fire inside a mine is a terrifying thought. It would burn like a torch sucking air from one side and just blazing out the other direction. Not to mention it would consume all the available oxygen too. The sound would be a deafening roar. Just a super scary scenario.
exactly
just finished. that's a heck of a climb
Crazy location 😜
Interesting as always tough work trying to keep. History alive instead people have to distructive i think. I. Was born to. Late or this is round two. I. Love history never minded hard work be the accident
🥳 well since nobody else wants to jump on it and I guess I'll take it 1st🥇
Amazing to see thank you Jeff. 👍
you betcha
Great vid
17:05 he has that backwards, over 90 degrees you start to lose that strength anything under is better so the closer the anchors are say around 30 degrees would be much better and keep a lot of the rope strength. But you have to also remember that every knot you put into a rope decreases the strength of the rope. Just always something to keep in mind
thats what he was explaining .... even with an alpine Butterfly knot?
@@Askjeffwilliams yup, unfortunately any knot will lower the strength of the rope, but it being a climbing rope you don’t have to worry about it only having a few knots you would not be able to tell a difference, you would need a lot more weight on the rope then just one person. I’ve had a few search and rescue trainings on all of this! Awesome video tho!! Stay safe.
Parabéns você sabe do trem saúde ,so grato por você fazer os vidios é nos insina👏👏🚂☘☘🙂

Jeff Check out the orange Gundlach knee pads , hinged !
I’ve been using them for 27 years as a flooring installer and they have literally saved my knees from blowing out
thanks my brother
@@Askjeffwilliams You’re very welcome brother Gota save them knees and that back, you got a lot of digging to do so dig it out!
But if you really want to dig out something that’s quite amazing and leaves a whole Lotta room for the thrill of the chase , I’ve got woolly mammoths underneath my playa lake . A world renowned archaeologist Dr.Stance Hurst came out to my place and said that I would have multiple woolly mammoth‘s . I’m looking for some like-minded people that like to dig it out and who love the thrill of the chase .
hit me back if this astounds and confounds you! 💯👊🏻
So.... What did they mine there and where'd they leave off & when, Mr Talksalot!!! ❤️
they mined lead , Zinc and Silver mostly .... last mining was the 60s in this mine
Awesome video Jeff. That's a fantastic mine. Very interesting
you betcha
@@Askjeffwilliams one day I hope to come over, meet you and do some mine exploring.
Oil to keep the dust down, maybe?
Lots of rivers are drying up in the world. The Euphrates is dry I think. Would it be good odds finding gold???
What is an air door? Thank you and have a great week.
it is commonly used it the mines to redirect air flow to other parts of the mine
@@Askjeffwilliams Cool thank you.
That's insane bud
