“Gly”: Even though I do respect this man’s passion, this individual does not accurately represent responsible abandoned mine explorers. What we call "Denim Hunters" are the scourge of abandoned mines and some, but not all, have been known to destroy mine features while searching for and removing artifacts.

Also, this individual's comment regarding deaths relating to abandoned mines is greatly exaggerated. Those who are reading this comment, especially those who are new to the abandoned mine exploring genre, please do not look up to this individual as someone who represents the abandoned mine exploring community.
Reminds me of an old saying my grandpa once told me: "He blows smoke up his own ass because no one else will." Plus, You are not the only one in that mine since the miners were there. Even I recognize it.
I like how he said “I have had 4 friends die in the last couple months” I can guarantee all of them did not die from abandoned mine exploring like he tried to make it sound😂🤦♂️
There have been maybe four people die in abandoned mines in New Mexico in the last twenty years. This stuff is nowhere near as dangerous as he makes it out to be. Entering abandoned mines to take ore samples is routine for me, and I explore some for historic reasons as well.
Dude seems like a real turd, proper slum-lord vibes. Oh and his "lol y people be working 9-5's just use your rental and investment income to chase high risk/reward pursuits" speech is ignorant af.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think it’s concerning that he talk about deadly gases in the mine yet does not even have any sort of active gas monitor equipment with him!
I deal with abandoned mines for work. I got into it via mine exploring. We do site investigations and making features safe. I live in one of the most heavily mined areas on the planet and I've been in hundreds of mines. We open covered shafts and abseil down them. I've nearly died on several occasions. It is very very dangerous. False floors, bad air, falling stuff, etc. This man is a fool, he's also running around the places with no respect for his surroundings, or the hazards they pose. He will probably end up killing himself.
he is kinda frantic with his approach isnt he...and hes begging to get fucked up. doesnt even have a dog with him just solo tripping into made made caves.
Rattlesnakes are an integral part of the desert ecosystem. Killing them doesn’t make you a bad ass. Just makes you callous and shows how little respect you have for the desert.
@@_NightOwl Why everyone should live to the old age? We literally have life-sentense prisons for people who want to die but force to be alive. And you all speak like Curt was sick ass here.
A youtuber found some very old jeans in a mine recently. He's the guy who owns Cerro Gordo mines and had a youtube channel dedicated to fixing up the ghost town he owns with mines all over it
Sounds like a marketing promo to justify his prices. The more he talks the more I think he is bought old sewing equipment and a giant roll of semi old denim.
Isn't he a bit too fat to go around very narrow shafts? I have been caving before and I'm pretty fit and normal built and there are some very narrow passages.
Renting Levi’s out for $700.00 a day. I’ve legit never seen anything like this. I mean I know denim is valuable, but this is crazy. Also why are you staying in hotel rooms, when you drive a literal home everywhere you go? I mean if it makes you happy enough to be excited to wake up every morning, happy trails to you my friend.
I get your angle, but in the end, it's his life. He doesn't need anyone's approval about how he spends his money. Perhaps he just likes to indulge in the hotel experience, maybe he goes out of his way to find eccentric hotels... Who knows really.
Once you take those "Treasures" then there meaning is lost Leave them were they are as every single bit tells a story and for you to take an item your taking a peace of that story away.. History can't be replaced and greed is a good way to destroy it all as we have seen, Do the right thing.
That's an interesting take. I guess, with your mindset, we'd never have to worry about garbage dumps. As well be covered in trash in no time lol. So tell me, what story do you get from a mine shaft with a torn of Jean jacket? "people were here once. And they wore really holey clothes"
@@jumpy. yeah, I’m with you. He essentially doing glorified dumpster diving. Haha. We already know what happened in these mines so archeologists don’t have to dig it and guess

Hahahaha what laws is this dude breaking? Ive never heard of these laws you speak of. And can't find them on Google. Which tells me you just made that up

I work in elko Nevada in a Underground mine. Just because of you I'm going to leave a pair of pants down there so some crazy guy can find it years later when I'm gone
@@archerdavidson6066 actually it's not. some of these mines are owned by new owners, the BLM, the forest service, state parks, or native land councils.
Why are the jeans abandoned in the mines though? Did miners tend to get naked while mining for gold? That seems highly unusual and a wee bit dangerous too. I picture miners to be thrifty old misers, except for maybe when it came to liquor and women.
It's crazy underground. They could have got covered in something. The nitro in dynamite will give you a killer head ache if you get it on your skin .they would also stash clothes incase . You could lose a whole day going out to changes. 10 years underground myself and yes sometimes you just get naked and run around lmao
No. They had to have everything they needed down there. Spare clothes, tools, food medicine, bathroom. Because climbing back up a 1000 foot shaft if you forgot something is not an option.
Wow...what a jackwagon! This guy would probably load up his van with petrified wood from the Petrified Forest National Monument to sell it on eBay. Leave the stuff for others to see.
yeah leave some old dingy pants in a mine in the middle of nowhere for others to see 🤣 if left there those things would eventually just turn to dust never to be seen by human eyes again, id rather see someone get something out of em
Crazy how he just takes stuff ( and admits he is breaking the law )and doesn't record where stuff came from or where it was. not only is the history lost. but it also lowers the financial value of the item a lot. items that have provenance and proper records can be worth hundreds if not thousands more than those that don't.
Go outside kids, please go cry a river to the singular person who cares about the guy who found a dynamite box or shirt that is rotting away underground that these miners littered and left there. Every single one of you who comment along the fact he’s stealing/ removing history, what in the hell is historical about a sweaty miners shirts from 1920s that the miner most likely took off and “through away”, secondly go find a rattle snake and have tea with it try and dress it up why don’t you, grow up it’s called life and living on a planet with billions of creatures and living things. Sorry your mommy nipple fed you till you were 24.
I'm so glad that the random thoughts that I have aren't as crazy as I thought! I've legit thought of this- old levi jeans found in mines, ghost towns, abandoned homes etc.
It's probably because we are primed to think about these things when we see videos and titles all over the internet pertaining to "weird" stuff which is obviously meant for views
THIS IS DISGRACEFUL,, ITS LIKE STEALING FROM THE DEAD. OR WAITING LIKE buzzard or vultures for a family member to pass away and take the money. Very inhumane. All for the name of money
The definition of stealing is to take property without permission or legal right and without intending to return it. This activity is no good, and possibly violates US CODES, and IRS responsibilities.
"Sublime sings a song about Santos!" 😀 Sorry that was funny. The song is Santeria it's actually about a practice not a person. Dude I would love to find old jeans like that. I love exploring desert areas because everything is so well preserved We all know its about the JOURNEY not the destination!. When people ask how you can justify the risk, ask them how they justify risk of being alive at all. Everything's a risk! A life not lived is no life at all. You got it figured out.

He's stealing artifacts from public lands so he can make money or put it in a personal collection to "rent out". Not okay. Mine exploring... AWESOME. Mine pilfering is not.

@@mickeyd4012 If it's just about the history, then why take artefacts? Leave things as they were found so that others can experience the mine into the future.
Meet him in person and you probably could pretty easily hear all about him. He doesn’t strike me as a guy who doesn’t like talking about himself or anything for that matter.
@Zatarah Bouchard I thought they got the washed look, the dirty look, and the ripped holes look, from the people that wear the jeans while doing physical labor, wearing the jeans down those ways naturally. Like I wear mine down. I used to bail hay on the farm and my Levi's would wear out down to white thread from my upper thigh to the knees from using my legs to boost the bail up to stack it on the hay rack. I don't have the upper body strength to do it with my arms only, so I compensated by using my legs to knee the bail up Who would pay $11,000 for a pair of falling apart denim jeans? And why? Talk about disposable income. I am below the lowest poverty level. Even if I were wealthy, I don't think I could spend that amount on one single pair of jeans. Unless it was as an investment that gained in value each year. Or to flip them for more than I paid. Or, to copy the design and mass produce reproductions. As you said already. But I don't see that original design out there. They must modify it a bit.
It's not for clothing. It's for money. No different than any other dangerous job like cutting down trees, coal mining, or any other job that slowly kills you in exchange for pay.
Unbelievable that this guy is violating the antiquities act and bragging about it! Maybe this video should be forwarded to the proper authorities for further investigation. I think a conviction carrys a hefty fine and up to 90 days inprisonment for each item removed. VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW!
Your name is Sancho? Sublime sings a song about Sancho. You know sublime? "I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down Sanchos throat" - Sublime
“I will add them to my collection and rent them out.“ Was purely to brag about how smart he is and how well he is doing. But he had to go higher than that and then say he actually sold them for a high prices as well. So he abandoned the logic he used in his previous claim. A typical bullshitter.
The fact that he kills rattlesnakes that are legit just chilling in mines for a pair of jeans is the embodiment of everything wrong with humans. Like what a dick move.
His little speech about why taking risks of death or injury is being a good dad. It is not. It is totally irresponsible, selfish he said. Parents have not higher duty than to protect and nurture their children. This man deserves condemnation by everyone who is not self centered child. Now on the the other point. What he does is quite possibly against the law. Taking artifacts is often just theft. Much of the public land in the west is managed by the BLM and it is a chargeable offense to remove minerals for commercial use, and cultural materials without a permit Here is the short form-- "Cultural Materials Cultural materials on public lands may not be removed, damaged, disturbed, excavated, or transferred without a BLM permit. These resources include prehistoric and historic artifacts and sites, whole or broken objects and debris that were used by humans. Protected materials include arrowheads and other stone tools, grinding stones, beads, baskets, pottery, old bottles, horseshoes, metal tools, graves, and trash scatters. Modern money may be collected, but not historic coins and artifacts. Historic sites such as cabins, sawmills, graves, trail traces, mining areas, town sites, ranches and railroads are closed to collecting" Land managed by the NPS /Forestry service often has much more restrictive rules as in "take nothing" Removal of artifacts from mining claims requires the permission of the claim holder. The days of driving out and bringing back historic ore cars for the yard or for sale are over. Some people will object or claim that they are saving the artifacts that they strip. That might be true, many old mines will inevitably collapse and bury everything within. But the law should be obeyed. If we disagree we should get on the horn to congress. Go watch videos by responsible adults who do not take artifacts, there are several of them who do good videos without the bragging or the self justification of a selfish idea of what is right.

Talk about disposable income. I am below the lowest poverty level. Even if I were wealthy, I don't think I could spend that amount on one single pair of jeans.
Unless it was as an investment that gained in value each year. Or to flip them for more than I paid.
Or, to copy the design and mass produce reproductions. As you said already. But I don't see that original design out there. They must modify it a bit.
Can't say that I understand risking one's life for clothing, but I can say this guy is freakin awesome!
It's not for clothing. It's for money. No different than any other dangerous job like cutting down trees, coal mining, or any other job that slowly kills you in exchange for pay.
I think for him the money is just a bonus. He’s really doing it for the adventure
You're standards of awesome seem low
@@caseybenner4530 not low. Just different than urs He's doing something he loves and he's proud of it. How is that not awesome?
@@laurieerickson5648 destroying history for money is not something one should be proud of. Just sayin
This is what horror movies bases their story from
Professional level talker
This guy is deff high on life 😅😅😅
We have an expression in Texas - leave it as you find it! So taking anything from a mine is thievery. It does not belong to a mine explorer. IMHO
I’m so glad he was happy with his treasures of a dirty shirt and a Jean pocket from 1940 🤣🤣
R.I.P Bradley Nowell 1968-1996.
Yea I’m from Vegas ppl look for miners jeans left behind in the mines
Although a super quick shot, that cat was super cool looking
imagine the
amount of
work it
takes
to dig those
mines
take all that
timber in there
and build the
vertical
shafts
Unbelievable that this guy is violating the antiquities act and bragging about it! Maybe this video should be forwarded to the proper authorities for further investigation. I think a conviction carrys a hefty fine and up to 90 days inprisonment for each item removed. VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW!
Yeah! Lock him up! Lock him up!
Or maybe the federal government has better things to do than deal with someone who isn’t hurting or bothering anyone..
I don’t see why Levi’s won’t replicate these jeans. They were well made and tough. Nothing like the jeans we wear today.
Dude should put some modern jeans in some mines for fun and for people to find years from now .
These jeans are like a real world macguffin to justify his spelunking obsession.
4 friends dead in 4 months? Maybe I should reevaluate my life because I don't even have 4 friends in the past 7 years.
The Levi pocket... Its probably vintage miner splooge. Which would make it extra valuable.
I think he means go out with a bang, burning out is fading out XD
6:29 - 6:41
THIS!!! 💯💯💯
you could use/make a drone to search it.
vice fucks up again. don’t go into abandoned mines unless you know what you’re doing, and definitely don’t remove the artifacts inside.
For some bizarre reason when I saw the title I assumed he was scavenging land mines. Ore mines make more sense.
Mine explorers are typically not theifs.
SpeedFreakLS1 and Shango066 are!
Your name is Sancho? Sublime sings a song about Sancho. You know sublime? "I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down Sanchos throat" - Sublime
Such an inspiration
Leave the artifacts where they are.
“I will add them to my collection and rent them out.“ Was purely to brag about how smart he is and how well he is doing. But he had to go higher than that and then say he actually sold them for a high prices as well. So he abandoned the logic he used in his previous claim. A typical bullshitter.
He’s a super sweet guy leave him alone
@@SOLDAT_NGHe's a scammer with some kind of personality disorder.
Its not like I judge. I just know a bulshitter when I see one.
@T cool story bro
You sound bitter in life.
This guy is like an American David Brent from the office
the speech at 7 min won me over.. this dude fuckin rules
There’s a thin line between crazy and genius and this man walks on a spiders thread
I play hockey with Brit, and the dude is absolutely a character. This video does little justice for what it’s like to experience him in person.
the music in this video is perfect
The D-Bag Spirit is strong with this one
Looks like a chunk of turquoise in that mine wall at 8:27
The fact that he kills rattlesnakes that are legit just chilling in mines for a pair of jeans is the embodiment of everything wrong with humans. Like what a dick move.
Sounds like you are everything wrong. Go have a tea party with your pet rattle snack then.
what did i learn from this vid.. I need to buy old sprinter vans and slap a bed and a fridge in them and sell them for 100k!! 4x profit!!
How many times have you found missing persons clothing?
How would he know if it was missing people or not
nice Volkswagen outfit🍻
Danny McBride be careful in them caves! Love your movies!
Them old Levi's jeans are worth alot!😎🤘
Your thinking of "Santeria" by Sublime. Anyone else scream at the TV? Rest in peace Brad!!
this guy have a really great way of thinking about life! GO OUT WITH A BAM!
His little speech about why taking risks of death or injury is being a good dad. It is not. It is totally irresponsible, selfish he said. Parents have not higher duty than to protect and nurture their children. This man deserves condemnation by everyone who is not self centered child.
Now on the the other point. What he does is quite possibly against the law. Taking artifacts is often just theft.
Much of the public land in the west is managed by the BLM and it is a chargeable offense to remove minerals for commercial use, and cultural materials without a permit Here is the short form--
"Cultural Materials
Cultural materials on public lands may not be removed,
damaged, disturbed, excavated, or transferred without a
BLM permit. These resources include prehistoric and historic
artifacts and sites, whole or broken objects and debris
that were used by humans. Protected materials include
arrowheads and other stone tools, grinding stones, beads,
baskets, pottery, old bottles, horseshoes, metal tools, graves,
and trash scatters. Modern money may be collected, but
not historic coins and artifacts. Historic sites such as cabins,
sawmills, graves, trail traces, mining areas, town sites,
ranches and railroads are closed to collecting"
Land managed by the NPS /Forestry service often has much more restrictive rules as in "take nothing"
Removal of artifacts from mining claims requires the permission of the claim holder. The days of driving out and bringing back historic ore cars for the yard or for sale are over.
Some people will object or claim that they are saving the artifacts that they strip. That might be true, many old mines will inevitably collapse and bury everything within. But the law should be obeyed. If we disagree we should get on the horn to congress.
Go watch videos by responsible adults who do not take artifacts, there are several of them who do good videos without the bragging or the self justification of a selfish idea of what is right.
finders keepers losers weepers
You sound fun to be around
He reminds me of Kenny Powers
Wait so he goes to old mines and looks for jeans? Is that a common thing found in mines?
