The mystery machine at the 36 minute mark is a Kraut flotation cell. Probably made by Bunting Iron Works in Berkeley California. The barrel machine looks like an Oliver Continuous Filter. The filter would have been the end of the process for the flotation concentrates to dewater before shipping. The table could have been run on tailings from the flotation cells or could have been run before the flotation cells, depending on what was being targeted. If only one table, it was probably it was treating tailings from the flotation cells.
“Gly”: Thanks for the great information! I’m going to use your comment to research this further so that in the future I can be more accurate when documenting sites like this. I know allot about free mill gold recover but not much about the cyanide leaching process. Thank you.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Tooting my own horn, if I may: We have a well-preserved mill museum here in Colorado, that got featured extensively in early-1900s mining journals which Google Books has since scanned and republished. It started as a cyanide mill and was then one of the earlier US mills to convert to flotation. I spent about a year digging through the site's history and processes, as described in those original sources, and walk through both at a high level on my "The Argo Tunnel & Gold Mill" playlist. Part 2 hits the cyanide process at 23:10 and then walks through the cyanide flowsheet starting at 25:51. Part 3 briefly overviews the history of flotation milling and how it was used at the mill after it converted, and covers two more flowsheets the mill used. Cheers to you (and TVR) who helped inspire my little research journey!
@@Unidentifying - Its that law of TH-cam that before you are making a video you CAN NOT find an expert to tell you what something is. The day you release the video 5 world experts find your video and tell you you were wrong...
I'm crying 😹!! Mr M's commentary on how crazy you are is hilarious! It's obvious that you guys are good friends, and that's awesome. Exploring the unknown with your buddies. It doesn't get any better than that!
Hi sir I'm from Johannesburg in south Africa and work in western deep mine almost 4 miles underground and mine only very rich gold ore, I always wanted to now how did they developed that small mines and how does silwer ore and sink ore always those that we don't have thanks for all the effort you put in and for all the information you really know your rock and rock strata and for being so safe. Be safe sir and it's the best show ever.
We have alot of mines to explore in north idaho. Nobody ever comes up here to document them though. Should start a youtube channel and do it. I have always been interested in the history of them. This is the one good thing about youtube.
Before you get to spun up on that, review your history. Ploughboy mine took 2 in 1995. It nearly killed 4 others who went in to go get them. Might wanna re-think that one...
@@paulredmond3968 If I as a grown man knowingly put myself in a dangerous situation and I die, and then my family attempts to make money from people who were not responsible for that decision; I'd be rolling in my grave. I get why they do. They cannot lay blame upon their loved ones. "If they (the mining company) would have made it impossible to get in the abandoned mine, they wouldn't have died." To me it almost seems disrespectful to your loved ones. It is like saying they were so foolish that they can't be held responsible for their actions. For children, for sure; the argument and liability is there. But for adults? That's ridiculous. If I hop the fence into a construction site and get myself killed, can my family just take their money? Do we need to erect force fields around any possibly dangerous place? Do the companies need a team of armed guards posted around the clock to make sure that no one can enter. Where is the line? How difficult do they have to make it? How about you accept your family member died doing what they chose to do and not use it as an excuse to sue. The companies losing money is not even the problem. It's that it means they will be required make these places more and more inaccessible to responsible explorers. It has been getting worse and worse for anyone wanting to explore abandoned places for exactly this reason. I simply believe that agency and accountability and really, freedom is being chipped away by grieving families looking for an entity to place blame for their family members tragic death. I could go one with examples but it's so sad how these tragic events are inadvertently causing a loss of freedom and have been since long before I was born. This is exactly what will happen to the 2nd amendment. As Mr. Franklin timelessly said "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
I'm really loving the combo of your geological knowledge and Mr M's mechanical knowledge in this video. I've been enjoying your videos for a while, but you guys are taking them to a whole new level lately. Keep up the good work!
I'm not sure why TH-cam recommended this to me last week, but I don't regret it. Mines have always been a mild interest to me (more specifically mining accidents and why they happen) and I find this pretty interesting! Keep up the good work!
That is an absolutely monstrous power plant! I've never seen anything quite like it. Based on the size of the ball mill, that mill probably did about 100 tpd. The unidentified things you're asking about around 37:00 are flotation cells. They use mechanical agitation and aeration in conjunction with a collector agent to skim target minerals off the ground ore from the ball mill. The skimmed material (concentrates) is dried and sold/smelted. I think this mine started out mining high-grade ore (pure galena/sphalerite/other sulfides) and direct-smelting it on-site at that smelter down the hill. The flotation mill was constructed later to beneficiate the low-grade. Gravity concentration was used to extract the free-milling gold as you said, and the tailings from the table were then sent to the flotation mill.If roasting was performed on this site, it was probably in conjunction with some kind of cyanidation process.
“Gly”: Again, thanks for the fantastic comment! Now that I know what that was I can research it more on the internet. The large wooden wheel shaped machine with the V shaped bottom that I called a skimmer / screener... Was I correct in saying that was used for ore classification before running the material across the shaker tables or was that used for skimming of the froth from the cyanide flotation cells?
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces It was used to skim the froth. Most likely, the tails from the table were sent to the ball mill and then to the flotation cells.
Gly , Mr M. and Randy , thanks for bringing me along too ! You three are as close to a time machine as I've ever seen . It's just amazing as to what lengths men will go to find their fortune .
again ....very nice intro ....love the soundtrack ....good idea with the B roll material.... ....good looking material .... Mr M is doing a great job.....should have him in there more ....those are flotation cells ....very common for Silver or Sulfide ore ...good job sonny Jim
Thanks Jeff for the input on that mystery metal machinery that these guys were checking out.. Love this connection with JW and Gly Channel Info.. This Has Been An Awesome Viewing With The Best Three Guys Of The Mining Worlds Past Sharing To Us People Of The World.. Thanks A Million For This Episode Today !!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces hey ive been watching all your videos..nthe 4 engine power plant was built from what ive found so far was tweeked by Gray Marine but Detroit.. maybe a 1943... for war use.. I'm thinking that huge flywheel thing looks like the unit Johanthan W it has a 2 pcs. Flywheel, huge too.. it throws me some what on the leavers on each end of the cylinder. Bates Corliss steam engine.. the air compress you poster my be older than the quad engine power unit. They might be 167 hp verions .. if war use they would be 224 hp they would have that on the front cover. But after the war who knows what they offered.. the leaver would allow you to engage engines as needed..
Hey! Just finished watching! You should give Mr M more airtime.. maybe his own episodes! what a guy! Very cool. Great to see the channel develop, been watching them all from the first ones over the last few cold nights here in Scotland. Cheers and See you next week.
Excellent job with multiple cameras, gives much better perspective of atmosphere and size of the mine! Great job by Randy and mr. M + mr. M. is a true cameraman gem!
I think it’s admirable you keep these old places alive by visiting them. Else, they’d be doomed to obscurity. Plus, it’s fun to watch you guys exploring them!
Gly, i have never been drawn into a channel so much! Im going back through and watching all you prior videos as well! Keep up the awesome work and stay safe!
I love it when you and Mr. M get to joking around. Cracks me up every time! Also, amazing job documenting this gorgeous mine! I’m thrilled that you got the Beast Flashlight; all of us geology lovers directly benefit! Sweet!
I started watching your videos about 3 months ago, liked so much that I had to watch some twice. The quality in video and audio is amazing now, compared to the premiere shows. Keep the good work. Pave from PANAMA, REP. OF PANAMA
Great vlog. Too bad the mine itself pinched out. The exterior remains were awesome. Amazing to see a shaker table semi in tact. Mr. M is hysterical with his side commentary. I love how the channel is going. I love Randy also.
Sometimes what's outside the mine is better than what's inside. I believe this is one of those cases. Four diesels, air compressor ball mill along with all the other artifacts. Beautiful just Beautiful! Oh and Mr. M. He's beautiful as well! LMAO!
So awesome. What a spot to see all the machinery. 4 big motors. Mr. M did a great job too. Randy was quiet. Thank you for sharing this remarkable spot. Stay safe.
I'm loving the whole new video setup,the B roll makes a huge difference,we are also glad to be able to breath clean air again as I live about 14-18 mile's south of the Glass complex fire in Napa proper,great video gentleman see you next week
The air receiver/accumulator tanks have a function beyond simply storing air. They serve as a buffer between the drill and compressor - the receiver tank can run the drill briefly. If you turn on blow air on your jackleg to clean a hole, the receiver will handle it and the compressor won't have to turn on/rev up. This reduces the number of run cycles on the compressor, extending its service life.
The accumulator also stores the compressed air like you said. But if you run a long section of air hose and hook up a large cfm tool you lose CFM because of the diameter line restriction. So an accumulator is installed close to the work and using shorter hoses minimizing cfm loss
an accumulator's secondary purpose is to serve as a water trap. too much moisture in the compressed air will cause drills to freeze up. We periodically had to drain the water from these tanks.
This is real American history right there. Thanks for sharing with the world!. Mr M looks so enthusiastic when it comes to those old contraptions and is having a blast.
My big draw to this activity was history. I marvel at the men who busted their way through this stuff, in squalid conditions, bad water, lousey food, too much whiskey. And most went broke, and most found no gold.
Thanks brother once again. Your show really changed me, how I look at geology everywhere. Definitely retirement hobbies. I look forward to your Saturday morning episodes like I looked forward to weekend cartoons as a kid. Be safe and look out for each other. Save me some clam chowder
I was in that mine 4 days ago. No deer in that canyon, plenty of bighorn sheep. Seen some Hungarian partridge by the spring below the smokestack. We didnt go as deep as you guys. We got to the accumulator tank and called it.
Another Great episode, I really enjoyed the tour of the old mill from You and Mr. Magnificent, it was very informative, I was really impressed to see how they linked 4 engine's together to run the mill Looking forward to next weeks show.
Lovely Old Mill, Treatment Plant and Mine. Your commentary is 'First Class'. So is the quality of your filming. The awe and excitement is not just yours you know, haha🙂. Us viewers feel it too👍. Thanks.
Love those drone shots - spectacular Nevada. An amazing amount of abandoned machinery - can't imagine the cost. Especially running 4 diesel engines at once. Loved the black mica in that mine and the extensive limonite deposits. Thanks Gly, Mr. M, and Randy. Way cool video.
Great video and great site! Love watching you guys explore these mines, you three really seem to have fun in there. Thank you for documenting these before they're gone
I absolutely love this channel. You have opened a whole new fascination. I recently went on a mining tour in Wallace Idaho and thanks to you I didn't go in there completely clueless! Thank you for the amazing content!
That was magnificent, dare I say, it was as interesting outside the mine looking at the machinery as it was inside. Thank you so much for what you do, the new format was great.
Real glad your taking Mr M. and or Randy along with you on these explorations. Just good policy to not explore alone. Great presentations. Thanks for letting us go along too! good watching when weather is going to crap outside. Old man winter is drawing closer.
You three are awesome willing to go that extra mile just for us. Mr "M" is so cool acts like he scares easy but actually probably not. Keep them coming guys we love watching.
Fantastic This came up in my Feed and so Glade I clicked on it Just unreal to see people doing what they love I lived in an old Gold town in Australia as a kid with hundreds of Mines dotted through the bushland
I knew Mr M was part mountain goat Gly, & he just proved it the way he clambered over that collapsed roof section. Besides it looks like he's growing a bunch of fur on his chest as well! 🐐. Your presentations just keep getting better & what a marvelous mine site you have shown us.
The second camera is super. Definitely helps show the size of things. I am hoping that Mr. M remembered to pick up his sun glasses before you left. @30:41
I have been waiting to watch the best video on TH-cam. I'm happy to see you and Mr m are doing well . I got my son watching your videos to and he finds them funny and educational , he loves the jet to .truth or consequences N.M 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👋🤗
Explain the circular "back"or what a pod is. Spectacular mineral swirl 19:34 - 19:49. The mineral types were beautiful!! You sure have a gift of being able to hold a camera with one hand and crawl into the crevices that you do. The geology of this mine is fantastic! , something for all of your fans; the adit's mineral contents and diggings, the fabulous, old machinery that ran this claim, and the back country "shots" of those fantastic hills at 28:44. This was ONE of your BEST videos. Very interesting. (I'm borderline OCD also. I heard the clicking, on & off, in the first 4 - 5 mins.) Thank you all for another great "explore".
Hi Gly, what an absolutely awesome site with so much left behind, a fantastic find. Thanks for sharing this wonderful historic location, much love to you all. xx💖👌
Nice mill site there guy's and another great episode I do agree with Ask Jeff Williams comment too! keep up the good work, stay safe and see you next Saturday.
Thank you for another great explore, I enjoy the comradery of the 3 of you. i feel like I am part of the explore but I get to stay safely at home as I am not as agile as i used to be when i used to go Spelunking in the Colorado Caves. By the way Love the Tee-Shirt i purchased it is great quality and I keep hoping that it will bring more viewers to your channel.
You are unbelievable. You love what you do, but you scare the heck out of me. Stay safe. Always here for your trips. Holding my breath for you and Mr M
Another great exploration. Mr. M is a worthy partner to have join you, a good presenter too. That black material was fantastic to see in such quantities. I you hadn't told us it was Black Schist, I'd have called it coal. It was shiny like coal, tht's why i'd have jumped to that conclusion. Keep up the good work guys. Can't wait to see the U.V. beast in action. Bye for now.
SO amazingly GORGEOUS! Sensual sinuating nature, the slithery sheens on the silver and black, at about 22-23 mins it was hyponitic, and you and mr M were like, Yes, it's not safe in hear- It seemed mother earth could inch forward a few inches, little lapping waves that would be huge riotous in effect! ... YAH, your most gorgeous yet. The most artful and colorful mine in effect.
Its a shame the buildings are in such disrepair and collapsed, it looks like a really awesome sight. I know how loud 2 stroke diesels are I could only imagine what 4 of them strapped together would be like. Thanks again for bringing us along, congrats on 70k (69k at posting) and I see randy is the only guy not wearing an exploring helmet... should we start a go fund me page for a proper helmet? It always crack up when I see him in a 90's bicycle helmet, but not as much as thinking about mr.m's debut and you kicking rocks on his head for 400 feet down an incline. Stay safe to all 3 of you guys
It’s drove me nuts for two months how your voice reminded me of someone but, I couldn’t think who it finally hit me today! Marty Stouffer from “Wild America”
The mystery machine at the 36 minute mark is a Kraut flotation cell. Probably made by Bunting Iron Works in Berkeley California. The barrel machine looks like an Oliver Continuous Filter. The filter would have been the end of the process for the flotation concentrates to dewater before shipping. The table could have been run on tailings from the flotation cells or could have been run before the flotation cells, depending on what was being targeted. If only one table, it was probably it was treating tailings from the flotation cells.

The addition of the 2nd camera is great. It's much easier to get a visual on just how big these areas are....
Can't wait for stereoscopic VR! With the size of cameras now it shouldn't be too hard to attach them eyes width apart on his helmet.
It's nice to see the old equipment still on site and not vandalized or spray painted. Thank both of you for sharing

Love those drone shots - spectacular Nevada. An amazing amount of abandoned machinery - can't imagine the cost. Especially running 4 diesel engines at once. Loved the black mica in that mine and the extensive limonite deposits. Thanks Gly, Mr. M, and Randy. Way cool video.
Great video and great site! Love watching you guys explore these mines, you three really seem to have fun in there. Thank you for documenting these before they're gone
Awesome. Thanks!! 🎃👍
I absolutely love this channel. You have opened a whole new fascination. I recently went on a mining tour in Wallace Idaho and thanks to you I didn't go in there completely clueless! Thank you for the amazing content!
“Gly”: Thank you!
You do great work man enjoy watching yo to
This is why you take an " elder" with you! So much knowledge!
That was magnificent, dare I say, it was as interesting outside the mine looking at the machinery as it was inside. Thank you so much for what you do, the new format was great.
Real glad your taking Mr M. and or Randy along with you on these explorations. Just good policy to not explore alone. Great presentations. Thanks for letting us go along too! good watching when weather is going to crap outside. Old man winter is drawing closer.
I had to pause another one of your videos to watch this one. Nice drone shots.
I always enjoy the geology of the mines. The equipment that was outside was impressive. Thank you for your time and effort.
You three are awesome willing to go that extra mile just for us.
Mr "M" is so cool acts like he scares easy but actually probably not.
Keep them coming guys we love watching.
Great video! Mr. M is awesome! You've gotten SO much better over the last month it's amazing!!! Keep it up bro!!!
“Gly”: Thanks!
Oh give Mr. M A LESSON IN talking to us like old friends!!! If he has trouble say your Vlogging to your
Wife...you should coin the phrases " Bli don't do that" and "I got this Mr M"
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces "No I got this Mr.M"
Great video absolutely amazing. Love the way the channel is evolving
Fantastic
This came up in my Feed and so Glade I clicked on it
Just unreal to see people doing what they love
I lived in an old Gold town in Australia as a kid with hundreds of Mines dotted through the bushland
Mr M 🤣🤣😉 your comments and faces bring comedy! Love it!.
I knew Mr M was part mountain goat Gly, & he just proved it the way he clambered over that collapsed roof section. Besides it looks like he's growing a bunch of fur on his chest as well! 🐐.
Your presentations just keep getting better & what a marvelous mine site you have shown us.
that was magnificent. Really relieved to see you not taking so many chances. And thanks Mr. M and Randy for being your backup
Thank you!
The second camera is super. Definitely helps show the size of things. I am hoping that Mr. M remembered to pick up his sun glasses before you left. @30:41
I have been waiting to watch the best video on TH-cam. I'm happy to see you and Mr m are doing well . I got my son watching your videos to and he finds them funny and educational , he loves the jet to .truth or consequences N.M 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👋🤗
Explain the circular "back"or what a pod is. Spectacular mineral swirl 19:34 - 19:49. The mineral types were beautiful!! You sure have a gift of being able to hold a camera with one hand and crawl into the crevices that you do. The geology of this mine is fantastic! , something for all of your fans; the adit's mineral contents and diggings, the fabulous, old machinery that ran this claim, and the back country "shots" of those fantastic hills at 28:44. This was ONE of your BEST videos. Very interesting. (I'm borderline OCD also. I heard the clicking, on & off, in the first 4 - 5 mins.) Thank you all for another great "explore".
Love this channel , very interesting 👍👍
I find myself humming your theme song throughout the day lol
Hi Gly, what an absolutely awesome site with so much left behind, a fantastic find. Thanks for sharing this wonderful historic location, much love to you all. xx💖👌
I vote for more out takes at the end!!!!!
Me too, that was "catchy".
Another vote here too 😀
Love the historical education you give on the mines....
thanks for sharing this site stay safe
Nice mill site there guy's and another great episode I do agree with Ask Jeff Williams comment too! keep up the good work, stay safe and see you next Saturday.
The men who dragged that great hit'n'miss engine and the 4 engine block into place were stars!
Thank you for another great explore, I enjoy the comradery of the 3 of you. i feel like I am part of the explore but I get to stay safely at home as I am not as agile as i used to be when i used to go Spelunking in the Colorado Caves. By the way Love the Tee-Shirt i purchased it is great quality and I keep hoping that it will bring more viewers to your channel.
“Gly”: Thank you!
Just stunning scenery and a fascinating story.
You are unbelievable. You love what you do, but you scare the heck out of me. Stay safe. Always here for your trips. Holding my breath for you and Mr M
I have to say your drone work and overall cinematography is excellent.
Another great exploration. Mr. M is a worthy partner to have join you, a good presenter too. That black material was fantastic to see in such quantities. I you hadn't told us it was Black Schist, I'd have called it coal. It was shiny like coal, tht's why i'd have jumped to that conclusion. Keep up the good work guys. Can't wait to see the U.V. beast in action. Bye for now.
SO amazingly GORGEOUS! Sensual sinuating nature, the slithery sheens on the silver and black, at about 22-23 mins it was hyponitic, and you and mr M were like, Yes, it's not safe in hear- It seemed mother earth could inch forward a few inches, little lapping waves that would be huge riotous in effect! ... YAH, your most gorgeous yet. The most artful and colorful mine in effect.
Its a shame the buildings are in such disrepair and collapsed, it looks like a really awesome sight.
I know how loud 2 stroke diesels are I could only imagine what 4 of them strapped together would be like.
Thanks again for bringing us along, congrats on 70k (69k at posting) and I see randy is the only guy not wearing an exploring helmet... should we start a go fund me page for a proper helmet? It always crack up when I see him in a 90's bicycle helmet, but not as much as thinking about mr.m's debut and you kicking rocks on his head for 400 feet down an incline.
Stay safe to all 3 of you guys
Fantastic video.
I wonder if those drums were cone crushers.
Mr. M did a standup job!
Keep up the great work!
No , not Cone Crushers -- Cyanidation Aerator units . < Doc , Miner / Mill Operator for over 50 years > .
Wow lots of interesting machinery, thanks again gly ,
It’s drove me nuts for two months how your voice reminded me of someone but, I couldn’t think who it finally hit me today! Marty Stouffer from “Wild America”
I like Mr. M's commentary and descriptions. Great job from everyone!😁
Love watching your videos
I love you're videos!❤❤🙏, thank you for bringing this landscape and past to us.
