WOW! That was yet another great adventure. You two are really a great team. I look forward to every Saturday and Wednesday to see another showing. Thank you for all that you do.
Thanks Gly and Laura, what an interesting mine. By the stopes, they must have pulled out a lot of gold and silver. Well worth the effort of getting up to that mine.
I am glad you have finally begun taking my advice and are now checking the bases of discarded drink cans for their dates! The 2020 can was a complete surprise.👍
Thanks for all the effort you guy's put in, I don't miss an episode, but do miss the drone work, always fantastic footage from above, cheers Gly & Laura, be safe ❤
An accumulator was used to not only collect an air cushion, but to collect most of the water in the system. Water in summer will only slow down the tools, but in winter it will freeze the tool and make them stop. They then must be laid near a fire to defrost. Periodic addition of car anti freeze can help stop that from happening but that makes the exhaust air smell terrible for the miners. Everything done in a mine affects something else.
As I infrequently mention, thank you so very very much for documenting these old workings! Had my health not failed, I would have loved to explore in a similar fashion as you, in the mines of British Columbia. I've been interested in these things because of a huge landslide that took out the town of Frank, Alberta. There is an old mine, which is relatively intact, and tours were available in the vicinity, 20 years ago. Turning off the lights deep in the mine, I fell into my element.
Hey! Nice shout out to Matt's Off-Road Recovery. I am loyal to both of your channels 🤩 I've watched every episode, each. Nice to hear both of you say the names of a couple of their vehicles.
16:52 Standing on what residual sluffed down out of the stope/ore shoot. Would love to bag it and classify, then pan in water. The coarse material crush it in a dolly pot and pan. You will be flabbergasted at the heavies you will find! Need funds for equipment?
Gly, you mentioned in passing that you have neuropathy. I, also, have that 'pain'. What I have been using for my lower legs is Lubriderm - over-the-counter in drug stores. The way that I use it is to - using a folded washcloth as a pad - use 2 or 3 squirts and rub it onto my foot - from the toes - to halfway up my lower right leg. I let it soak in for about 20 - 30 minutes and that takes care of the pain for up to 3 - 4 hours. The left leg has a much lower pain, so it only gets 1 squirt applied. If it works, GREAT! If not, just a couple of bucks spent that might also work for plain muscle pains. I have been watching your channel since prior to Mr. M. Thanks for your efforts and especially your explanations about the various minerals seen in the videos. My buddies and I went out to the Western side of Death Valley during the early 1960's. We used old topo maps to find the old mines. We did find one mine with intact oar carts, That was great! Keep safe!
Awesome mine , adits , would have been neat to see all the woodwork before it collapsed. Also a neat old truck. If it could talk the stories it would have . Glad you made it out of the mine . And as always be careful and safe out there . See you Wednesday. 👍🏼🙂🫂
Thanks for taking us with you - wondered 🤔 how you got on hiking back UP that mountainside to get back to Old Bob - unless you found an easier (but probably a LOT longer) route back! 🧨⛏🧨⛏🇬🇧
Pretty impressive the size of that wooden wall where you walked up under where they dumped the ore into waiting trucks . Until you got into the frame it didn’t look that large . Miner’s definitely are a different breed to be able to accomplish some or most of the things you stumble onto & share with us . Thanks Gly & Laura . Stay safe you two 😎👍
Another interesting hole! Some cool vein structure and geology in general. Pretty much no matter where you go I'm sitting here like, "I want a big chunk of that!"
Impressed with your strength to get there n back again, and enjoyed your explanation of the direction of thr vein outside as well as seeing it in the mine. Thankyou for the skilful and witty presentation, as well as all the effort producing this video for us! You two are the greatest!
Hi all. I can understand the advantages of digging a shaft downward at an angle. Much safer. But what are the advantages of digging a vertical shaft 🤔. The advantages would have to be considerable, considering the deadly disadvantages of a vertical shaft 🤨.
I was wondering what was going on at the beginning with Laura hanging out outside. She kind of looked exhausted. Now I understand. If it was that tough going downhill, I can only imagine what it was like going back up. Thanks for the adventure. The stope workings were pretty impressive! Thanks and take care.
19:02 And all you got is a miner's lamp on your hardhat, sweatpants for drilling (rain gear), fall protection. Then there is the timbering, placing stulls and building up platforms to drill from. Next is the stopper ~ 100 lbs, then the hoses to drag up to the working face. Steel scaling bars and later powder boxes. Why go to a gym, just become a miner! Eh?
I just watched someone else's mine video. YOU 2 are still the BEST! But I did see one thing I liked they did that I instantly thought of you. With you awe exploring of mine and the documentation of them this might be a good addition to your TECH inventory. At the end of the video they showed a 3d map of the mine they created with a scanner. The video is on youtube and it's called "Discovering The Rawhide Mine". 3d scanning has come a long way in recent years and much cheaper. While you explore, you scan and compile that night over a beer. Very cool. Just think lowering a scanner down on a rope down a very deep pit that you can't climb down.
Laura had her hair done, real cool on her. Magnificent mine, ore vein, very productive for a round nail, recent mine. Quite the adventure, isn't it. No touchy touchy that dynamite. Dropping rocks, so much fun. Too bad you couldn't use a probe,down, to actually tell the depth.
The post 1933 and prior to 1975 gold mines I find interesting because I believe they were forced to sell all the gold to US government. This was due to FDR’s Executive order 6102 which banned citizens from owning gold and forced them to sell all gold holdings due to people hoarding (stacking) during Great Depression.
Gly, the writing on the timber might have been a challenge to termites from whoever had to lug that beam into the mine! Or it might have been a notice that a stockpile of snacks was available for any hungry miner. One never knows! I'm slowly realizing that Laura has a really dry, subtle sense of humor. Y'all make a great team. Stay safe!
I know that you accept the risk. Obviously, if we see the video you made it out. My biggest fear for you isn’t that you get crushed but that a collapse happens when you’re inside there and your exit is blocked with tons of rock. It would be a slow and painful way to go knowing you could never dig your way out.
Do you guys carry a mirror with you? My dad was a sewer line and manhole inspector. I remember he would pull the mirrors off the truck and reflect the sun down into the hole. Sometimes I would hold a mirror on the surface shining down and he would redirect it down the pipe at the bottom. A super bright spot light. Great video guys.
Gly is saying we didn't need the experience of going in the mine! She is right about it. Follow her lead because of all the lies now everywhere online.
Alot of crumble on the floor from the deteriorating stopes. They sure moved out alot of mineral! Alot showing on all the sides of the main drift. At 13:47, LOOK at all that mineral on the side walls!! At 25:15, you're getting into an area that looks pretty "iffy". You "guys" have some guts crossing thru those precarious areas. I was getting worried for you both. My adrenolin started to raise through out your explore today. Thanks for showing it all to us, but PLEASE be careful so that we can keep on seeing your "explores".
he's always had it just in case he ever runs across an aggressive mountain lion in one of the mines. he's had a couple episodes in the past where in goes in depth about all the stuff he carries with him, just can't remember which ones they were.
WOW! That was yet another great adventure. You two are really a great team. I look forward to every Saturday and Wednesday to see another showing. Thank you for all that you do.

Explore the mines of Moria next I heard there's some great stuff in there!
Great episode Gly and Laura!!! Watching this vid and others of yours with my Abandoned and Forgotten places coffee mug makes my weekend!!!
Nice adventure today, Gly and Laura
Looked like a big effort to get there and a bigger effort to get back .

For all you guys do for us, I commend you both. Thank you for another wonderful Saturday. Take care and get some rest. You do sound a little tired.
Love the morr reference! Love that channel
I am sure glad y'all are adventurous! Thank you for taking us along!

Mineralushist!!! Ummmm Good!!!; )
7:08 Notice how they timbered, notched out the rib rock to set the cross timber into, saved on having to set a timber.
The dates on those cans are expiration dates
Looks like a Taurus G3 to me! Nice! Also I didn't realize Gly is left handed!
LOVE THE INTRO!
As a BTS guy myself I love the intro snipit
Refreshing to see❤️
Love it!
Awesome mine. Thanks for sharing it❤
nice exploring..its exiting because you know there is more there than you can se.
Thanks for taking us with you - wondered 🤔 how you got on hiking back UP that mountainside to get back to Old Bob - unless you found an easier (but probably a LOT longer) route back! 🧨⛏🧨⛏🇬🇧
Great job guys!going down that hill was tiring ,see you all wed
😀
Good job as usual ! Thanks.....
I appreciate you letting me hang with you on this one. Thanks Gly and Laura.
🇨🇦 Nice job gang. That shed would be a great cabin to spend the night in.
Pretty impressive the size of that wooden wall where you walked up under where they dumped the ore into waiting trucks . Until you got into the frame it didn’t look that large . Miner’s definitely are a different breed to be able to accomplish some or most of the things you stumble onto & share with us . Thanks Gly & Laura . Stay safe you two 😎👍
cool as always gly and laura , see ya wednesday
Thank you for showing us a great adventure. ZGOD bless you both
That was a good mine. No recent visitors and beautiful geology.
Great mine! Thanks for bringing us along.
That family friendly message was for a termite.
Another interesting hole! Some cool vein structure and geology in general. Pretty much no matter where you go I'm sitting here like, "I want a big chunk of that!"
To be clear, rocks, not eyeballin' you, Gly! heh heh heh

Great Content Mates Thanks

Greetings from Poteet Texas and thanks for another great video.

Thank you for the hard work and care you put into these videos. Love from Saskatchewan
loved the matts off road reference lol
Always cool to see what you guys get into...
Congratulations on everyone s trip and being ready for everything and anything

Great video guys!
Great episode thank you
I'd say that was worth the hike, wow! That mine was really cool, so much stopes and lots of things on the outside too.
Thanks for the Saturday explore video and all the hard work it took to get there and get back. That big vein was interesting geology.

Thanks for the video. Interesting mine.
Lots of fun adventure. Ty
Thank you guys for the buy it now we're definitely buying sum form you 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
7:23 This was directed towards the mine rats, like what happens if you get smucked and are trapped! Eh?
Laura had her hair done, real cool on her. Magnificent mine, ore vein, very productive for a round nail, recent mine. Quite the adventure, isn't it. No touchy touchy that dynamite. Dropping rocks, so much fun. Too bad you couldn't use a probe,down, to actually tell the depth.

My Dad would have loved that old truck.😍
Gly,
Is that the "Breakfast Club" mine? I heard a ruckus 😂😂😂😂
L'Oro in italian means The Gold in english. Sounds like Laura (a bit)
Very impressive.
il think it was about 45- 50 F in there..like 8 to 10c in deep mines but yes refrige temp

Was a good un guys.
Nice video guy and Laura just what happens to the specimens when you are partway through the mind Laura asked you about it.
Sorry to hear about breaking the camera mount. Must have been quite a hill. That Hot Potato with the dynamite made me LOL
Well Laura don’t just stand there. Come on in😊. What a beautiful mine. Colorful. Ty for sharing 😊
Gly,
Is that the "Breakfast Club" mine? 😂😂😂😂
Thanks buddy !
Good one!!!
Hey guy have you ever heard of Anvil point mine in rollison, colorado
I always wondered how they find these veins in the middle of nowhere.
Do you guys carry a mirror with you? My dad was a sewer line and manhole inspector. I remember he would pull the mirrors off the truck and reflect the sun down into the hole. Sometimes I would hold a mirror on the surface shining down and he would redirect it down the pipe at the bottom. A super bright spot light. Great video guys.
Hey is that Dynamite? Poke it with a stick! (It will get us to the top of the Stopes without having to climb)
See you made bob better but you need to make bob bad ass, be safe my friends.
Sir ,,,, can you define the Ruckus ?
😀🌸
The spraie paint tells all gly.
Its not not precise but take your Fahrenheit temp, subtract 30, divide remainder by 2.
Ex: 70°F - 30 = 40 ÷2 = 20°C
@7:23, Someone offering to be Lunch?
It is sort of strange being a paying member to see these episodes earlier in the week, It was a Saturday morning thing for years,
This old mine is worth sampling. There's still ore there.
Gly is saying we didn't need the experience of going in the mine! She is right about it. Follow her lead because of all the lies now everywhere online.
Don't give up mine exploring! 😂
Hello France! Why do you sometimes have a weapon, what is the danger?
Take good care of yourself.
@Gly, what make/model/caliber of gun is that you carry?
What happened to Mr.M ?
What about those samples?
Alot of crumble on the floor from the deteriorating stopes. They sure moved out alot of mineral! Alot showing on all the sides of the main drift. At 13:47, LOOK at all that mineral on the side walls!! At 25:15, you're getting into an area that looks pretty "iffy". You "guys" have some guts crossing thru those precarious areas.

Why does Gly have a gun 😂, that is the most american thing I've witnessed.
The phrase 'eat me' makes me think of a Margot Kidder wannabe.
Eat me 79 ☝️Animal house still fresh in their head
This is the type of episode were I really miss your drone footage especially with that big wooden burning man type structure you found.🥲🏚
Nice gly you are strapping 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻.. first time I noticed your pistol..👍🏻
he's always had it just in case he ever runs across an aggressive mountain lion in one of the mines. he's had a couple episodes in the past where in goes in depth about all the stuff he carries with him, just can't remember which ones they were.
