Girard Mine: Time Capsule Of A Mine Beneath Tombstone, Arizona - Part 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ส.ค. 2021
- We’re starting - just starting - to get into the really good stuff beneath Tombstone’s dusty streets with this second video in the series… Stick with this series. The deeper we get, the better things get. There are so many treasures down there and still so much unexplored ground.
If you want to see part of this mine yourself (and there is a LOT to see), you can arrange a tour through goodenoughsilvermine.com or on Facebook at “Tombstone’s Goodenough Mine Tour.” They offer different tours that range from areas that absolutely anyone can visit to very challenging sections.

All of these videos are uploaded in HD, so I’d encourage you to adjust your settings to the highest quality if it is not done automatically.

As well as a small gear update here: bit.ly/2p6Jip6
You can see the full TVR Exploring playlist of abandoned mines here: goo.gl/TEKq9L
Several kind viewers have asked about donating to help cover some of the many expenses associated with exploring these abandoned mines. Inspired by their generosity, I set up a Patreon account. So, if anyone would care to chip in, I’m under TVR Exploring on Patreon.
Thanks for watching!

Growing up in California’s “Gold Rush Country” made it easy to take all of the history around us for granted. However, abandoned mine sites have a lot working against them - nature, vandals, scrappers and various government agencies… The old prospectors and miners that used to roam our lonely mountains and toil away deep underground are disappearing quickly as well.
These losses finally caught our attention and we felt compelled to make an effort to document as many of the ghost towns and abandoned mines that we could before that colorful niche of our history is gone forever. But, you know what? We enjoy doing it! This is exploring history firsthand - bushwhacking down steep canyons and over rough mountains, figuring out the techniques the miners used and the equipment they worked with, seeing the innovations they came up with, discovering lost mines that no one has been in for a century, wandering through ghost towns where the only sound is the wind... These journeys allow a feeling of connection to a time when the world was a very different place. And I’d love to think that in some small way we are paying tribute to those hardy miners that worked these mines before we were even born.
So, yes, in short, we are adit addicts… I hope you’ll join us on these adventures!

This place is like a museum but way better because everything is in its original context. Very very cool explore. THANK YOU
Yes, I think it is far preferable to see things in their original context. That will be particularly relevant in the upcoming videos... I'm glad you're enjoying this one. It ended up being spectacular.
You know when you open a time capsule? This is the best one. Watching from South Africa😎
This isn't a TVR Exploration, This is a Keepers Tour!!
That's great a rappelling liking it already 👍👏!!!; )
Oh man as soon as jeff williams sees those bean cans he is gonna loose his mind.
I grew up next to what was an old coal mining camp in west Virginia and now is the small town of Uneeda, named after the biscuit.
7:48 Don't worry about the Austin pack, that's ~1994 or newer.
That's a great one guys!! It's kind of cool havin someone who knows the mine already. Soo much history down there! Just about 25:04 or so did you see the name on the side of the ore chute!? Wyatt Earp 1882!! He'd been 33/34 and fixing to or just married his second wife. Can't wait for part 3 and an update on your mine. Stay safe out there.
Holy shit!! Good find, I saw the 1882 and thought damn that's old, but couldn't make out the name.
@@kristopherboice197 yea would have been about the right time frame for him to be there with his brothers. They probably all had a share in the mine
Wow, amazing catch.
I saw that too. I backed up the video and paused it to be sure. Then I was like, "They didn't see that?" But obviously it's been seen in the video already. Pretty cool.
Cold pork and beans is Jeff Williams favorite. He's always talking out both ends.
Cold bean sandwiches we're popular in the east
I could have a field day in this mine collecting mineral specimens! Amazing!
Driven through Tombstone many times, my mom lives just South of there in Bisbee.
Well? At least we know what the miners ate. Beautiful colors and what appears to be massive mineralization! More passages than one could ever imagine!
Your right definitely getting more interesting one of the best mines I've seen cant wait for the next one thanks for sharing 👍🇬🇧
Yes, I hope viewers stick with this one to the end because it turns out to be one of the best I've done - especially when we get into the previously unexplored areas...
That newspaper at about 38 into the video: It would be nice IF it could be copied and displayed in the main mine building.
A very nice explore with very nice finds wow loved that newspaper.
Good stuff, huh?
"Peace in our time!" (sounds like that was approaching / had arrived) Awesome find.
Definitely some interesting potted meats down there... I had a coworker who kept a can of brains at her desk, that she would pull out whenever she needed to make an important decision. lol.
Yes, that newspaper was very interesting to me precisely because it did come from the heart of "peace in our time" and, of course, we all know how that ended up working out...
So good to be back for subterranean goodness. The pleasant distraction is really needed.
Got three episodes sandbagged. Thanks for keeping them coming on the regular, Justin.
So, @ 5:55 they were cooking their beanie wienies and mystery meat at the forge! That’s awesome!
The tour guide idea is pretty neat, having someone along who seems to know the mine well and can point stuff out 🙂
The graffiti near the heavy duty door on the floor reads ‘Elbow room’ maybe it said no elbow room, which is pretty funny given how narrow it looked in there.
Ha! Agreed.Just saw this. Should've looked prior to commenting similar 10 months after you.
@@TheSWolfe 🤣🤣
This was a good one to have someone familiar with this mine. There must be one hell of a waste rock pile somewhere.
I was contemplating the same thing.
There used to be gigantic waste rock piles everywhere around Tombstone. They’re pretty much all gone, it’s been reprocessed for silver and even used for fill on local highway rebuilds.
@@andrewkeepers431 Thanks Andrew
Well, since they had blacksmith capability, I suppose those pork'n'beans could be heated up after all. When it comes to cold beans, I protest. Quite the mine. That flowstone is incredible. Another five ***** exploration.
Cold beans would be a bit much for me also! Well, I suppose if one gets hungry enough...
Hi Justin & Andrew, so many old cans of food down there, not sure I would have eaten the pork lips one though 🤢🤮.
Did you notice the makers name on the chocolate milk carton ???? it was Borden's as in Lizzie Borden. So many stopes but that area you dropped down into was awesome and the newspapers were a very cool find, a look back on what life was like in the late 30's early 40's.
Another great video and explore, thanks for sharing, much love. xx 💖
No pork lips? I suppose it is a question of how hungry one gets... As revolting as that sounds, I'd probably happily eat them after being underground without food for a while. I didn't catch the "Borden" name. Thanks for watching and commenting, Sue.
@@TVRExploring If it's pork lips or starve I would eat them but not under normal circumstances though. x
6:25 If that was today, there'd be McDonalds Bags everywhere?
This is true.
Those old news papers are incredible!
Very excellent tour of the mine lots to see black smith area and remnants of the miner's from way back .thank you as always .Cjd from wash state ⛏️💣
That was pretty cool, huh?
30:40 that pipe and valve: the vavle with the squished end... That's exactly what I use for cooling "cuts" on machine tools. I hook up my compressed air to the valve, setup up something to hold the flattened tip pointing at the work, and use the valve to regulate pressure & flow.
Thank you for explaining that.
Very cool mine. I like all the miners graffiti, especially the one on the ore shoot that said “Wyatt Earp 1882.”
I saw that too. Authentic maybe?
LOVE the newsprint. The fascination continues!
"Elbow room" or place to pass is was what one read. Very nice video, thanks
Awesome sections. Guessing pork and beans could have been heated by the forge.
Nowadays we heat up meals on hot equipment.
I think the blacksmith was having hot meals.
The Austin Cigarettes Light pack isn't as old is some of the other artifacts in the mine.
7:49 Austin Cigarettes were first introduced in the U.S. in 1967 by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, and reintroduced in 1994 by Reynolds' subsidiary company, Forsyth Tobacco. Austin Cigarettes were also made in Austria.
I never knew Austria made cigarettes?!?
Memphis brand cigarettes are also made in Austria. Owned and manufactured by Austria Tabak, which is owned by Gallaher Group, which is a subsidiary of Japan Tobacco.
As always, thank you very much for the research, Mr. Landes. There are really only five big nicotine companies in the world and, it seems, essentially all tobacco brands can be traced back to them...
Amazing artifacts once again!
@ 13:20 It say's Elbow Room 1320 is also a Quarter Mile, Drag Racing for the WIn ha ha. Great series by the way, just took me a while to get to watching these.
A warren of a mine. The amount of steel worn and blunted and explosive expended in doing all of this ... stupendous. Special place - looking forward to Part 3 etc!
Great explore lots of cool stuff.
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
WOW!!!! This place is filled with awesome artifacts! I love that you are filming most of them but it's a shame they won't be shared with more people! This mine system is so huge there is no telling what else is down there or what else you might find or not find. Love the series, keep up the awesome content!
Meat processed in a can we've all had it we've all been there nothing like having dog food in a can lol
I'm not proud. I too have had the potted meat. LOL!!
@@johnhudak3829 lol 👍
Another awesome video 💯 💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥👍
Fascinating artifacts! I think the writing prior to the low-clearance stope said, "Elbow Room." Not sure on that, but it would make sense, as it would be where miners spent a lot of time crawling 'round on their elbows! Best you not translate much re the Spanish graffiti, could compromise family-channel status - LoL! I remember Hi-Ho Crackers (Ritz predecessor or unfortunate competitor), and Underwood Deviled Ham & potted meat on white bread sandwiches (Ew x 2!) Mom would stack, pre-sunrise, inside Dad's silver lunchbox next to his coffee thermos.
Yes, I remember Hi-Hos as well... From what I recall, they were similar to our Ritz crackers of today. As you speculated, they were likely an unfortunate competitor. I got curious as I was responding to your comment and looked it up, but Google let me down on this one. The history is unclear.
Your observation on "elbow room" seems to make perfect sense.
Wow first time I’ve ever been first! The secondary mineral is wolfright?? Or did I hear it wrong.
I love the videos you are producing I wish we had mines this intact here in bc Canada 🇨🇦. It’s just too wet for them to survive long up here. I’m always looking forward to seeing your videos. This is one of my most favourite channels
My normal exploring area is wet and so I fully understand your pain and frustration with wet mines.
Hey Justin You find the best mines to go through. This is such a great place, I love the pork & bean's, I guess they might have had hot lunches with that forge , been smoking 50 years and I haven't heard of Austen either. If only I could go back 40 years and go down to see half the places you seen. Thanks for the hard work
This one really is exceptional... I wish you could come with me in person, but I appreciate you coming along with the video. Actually, it's better that way as you avoid a lot of hassle and bruises and cuts!
@@TVRExploring I wonder how many of those food tins were left by miners and how many were left by explorers? Some of that stuff looks more recent. When did the mine close?
WOW, it just keeps going and going! Need a whole day down there! Some nice finds too, love the old food cans etc, well preserved down the dry mines!
A day isn’t enough! Right now it takes nearly a full week of 10-12 hour days to see most of it!
Yes, we were collectively down there for days and that is just the tip of the iceberg. The dry mines are fantastic for preservation...
Does look epic, probably one of the best you been in to date in my books! Looking forward to more!
this episode is amazing and the news paper find being english facinates me its said nev-ill neville chamberlin and he really messed up big time...the colours down these mines is mind blowing the guy doing the tour with you is prob one of the best so far very easy going.. keep them coming :)
Yes, that newspaper article was right from the heart of the "peace in our time" era and we all know how that turned out... Yes, I have been very fortunate with the people that have shown me around underground over the years.
It says "elbow room" 13 min area
Thank you.
Great video, 🦘💥
Thanks for the video!
You should have someone with a handheld Lidar unit go with you into this mine and scans all of the tunnels, shafts and stopes to have a detailed layout of the entire system.
Sweet artifacts everywhere! Very cool mine!
Wyatt Earp 1882 at about 2504.
13:20 Faded miners graffiti says "Elbow Room" Perhaps wishful thinking as small as the adit is? Another great video for your record. Thanks for taking us along Justin. That newspaper from 1938 and speaking of Hitler before the nightmare that became WWII was fascinating. Awesome finds and another fine job as always Justin. Thank you!.
Thank you very much. Yes, there is some fantastic stuff in this mine...
Can’t wait to have you back in the fall! We have a lot more territory to cover!
I am very much looking forward to that.
I am always amazed how unstructured such old mines are. The air circulation must have been quite a disaster under working conditions. In addition, there are exhaust gases from the underground forges. Unimaginable under today's occupational health and safety guidelines.
Yes, the older mines seem much more haphazard, for sure. I suppose that gives them more character.
Water in a mine I'm surprised you couldn't smell that before you ever saw it.
Thank you
AT THE 25 MIN MARK, THERE IS A WYATT EARP AUTOGRAPH!
Jan.11th 44 is probably when they closed it down.
Incredible!
I know you don't like to take any artifacts out, but did you consider taking out the news paper and donate it to a mining museum?
Would this mine have started in the days of the Earp Brothers in Tombstone?
Thanks for this, is has been awesome to watch✌🏻😎
3:29 "meat food product" that is neither accurate nor precise in terms of source and quality - sort of like an MRE.
Well, I suppose if one gets hungry enough...
@@TVRExploring I have eaten many an MRE and agree lol
@@uwillnevahno6837 "Meals Refusing to Exit" LOL
That trip was cool. Nice to find past history.. those news papers that you encounter are fantastic!!
Question where are your buddies at?
I did the first couple of days with Andrew and then some of the others in our little exploring crew showed up for the final days.
Those ore chutes seem to be steeper than what you usually see.
at 13:18 its spells out Elbow room
In Santa Ana there was/is a Bar called the "Elbow Room"
@@dirkdiggler1242 Very cool 👍
Thank you.
I'm interested in karst solution effects encountered by mining.
And I heard TVR Exploring in TH-cam might walk past some.
"oh my gosh,good gobb!"
“Good gobbing” Charlie Brown the miner’s saying.
13:16 says elbow room!
In part one, where did the pigeons fly out at?
13:18 "Elbow Room"
I happen to like cold pork & bean.
Meat products in a can today we just call them hotdogs
This is very true.
I am pretty sure that every time you show an underground blacksmith operation an OSHA employees head explodes.
And/or wets themselves! 😁
Underground shops are common to this day!
@@Porty1119 I could fully understand a work shop. But an active coal burning blacksmith shop with zero ventilation??? I would have thought that the fumes would have gassed them out with or without the OSHA regulation bull crap.
have you ever gone into a mine and did a video or do you all go in first check it out then make a video
No, I don't check them out first. I'm seeing things for the first time as I am recording.
Pork and beans are good cold. I eat them all the time.
Andrew, what helmet and light do you use? Thx Eric Cee..
By the steel dr the graffiti said elbow room and a arrow. Then you showed us the tight area above you 2.5 feet tall
you didnt mention "Wyatt Earp 1882"? seen at 25:04.
20:00 - you have a phallic taunt with the words, "chinga Marcos", which means, "fuck Marcos (Mark)". BAHAHAHA that is hilarious! xD
@6:28 Y U no mention beer bottle,was it yours?
13:18 "ELBOW ROOM"
Chocolate Milk & Coors seems like a gross underground siesta
Well, if one gets hungry and thirsty enough...
Cool one. Looks kinda unsafe. But you have been in more that looked worse
Unsafe usually means unspoiled!
Yes, we have definitely been in worse... The wet underground placer mines and the wet mines with a lot of serpentine are the worst for what we explore.
Will there be a part 3 ?
There will be many more parts and they keep getting better as we get deeper...
"Pork lips" lmao!
You've gotta love it...
did the average miner get paid by the hour? a salary or wage? get part of the profits? how was the average miner compensated for his work?
Miners that worked this mine were paid by the day.
Ha!
Ever run across a mine that used mules and then buried them in the mine?
Plenty of mines that have used mules... I don't know if they are buried there or not though.
Anybody notice the graffiti at 25:04 ? Wyatt Earp 1883. Ha Ha! Regards from Ody Slim
🤩
At 25 minutes there's miner graffiti that says "Wyatt Earp 1883" on the ore chute.
The last number isn't really readable though.
Might actually be a 2.
you cant ask for any moor
Did anyone else notice on the mineral shaft th-cam.com/video/UW347-f_i-E/w-d-xo.html Says Wyatt Earp 1882
No roof reinforcements? Dangerous and unstable. Those forges must have added to the carbon monoxide levels.
Most areas in this mine were driven through limestone and are very stable. Supports were only put in where needed. Air quality is great in 99% of the workings v
those writed on wall were prolly all dead by now
Maybe but then again you have to remember that's just so much graffiti.
Yes, they are all voices from long gone miners now...
