Jason is that HDPE pipe? We use those in fiber optic installation, the couplers are made by Sherman & Reilly. Our typical duct size is 1.25" and the coupler is a DC-10 but I know they make DC-20 as well. What you have looks like an earlier variant. We also use aluminum reverse thread couplers that work well. These are used with up to 475CFM air compressors and hold together in extreme duty. They make great water lines as well. Cheers from Alaska. We start our day at our mine with coffee and watching your latest videos. Great community of like minded individuals.
Odds are it was a massive sheet or mini avalanche that hit it as is slid off the mountain. They would need an outcropping of rock overhanging to shed that properly. Nothing man-made would survive the impact. Probably best to build the decking in a way that can be easily dismantled at the end of the season, stored inside the portal (acting as a blocking system against break-ins as well) and then set back up in the summer.
Gold looks like it's going big this year. I really want to profit from it this year. I have about $140k I want to invest. My brain doesn't do very well in understanding these things. How do I go about it?
A good number of people discredit the effectiveness of financial advisors in exploring new markets, but over the past 3years I’ve had a financial advisor consistently restructure and diversify my portfolio/expenses and I’ve made over $1.3million in gains… might not be a lot but i'm financially secure.

If you can't afford to make your portal platform out of steel then just take it all apart at the end of the season,number the lumber in order of how it goes back together.Just take picture before disassembling it because we do have long winters.I see you were smart to get all your tools out at the end of last season. That is one rough hobby but as long as you are having fun and just maybe you will find a high grade zone. I know of one outfit that put the portal at 30' above the grade of the access road. The face of the portal was located on vertical face. They would put up scaffolding to access the mine and dump all the ore onto the landing at the bottom and take it all with them at the end of the mining season along with the scaffolding. Funny that they never had trespassers going into their mine. Even with 10' of snow it would still be a challenge that most wouldn't be stupid enough to try.
Is a demonstration of good common sense. Why not clear structural out before winter, otherwise you have to take apart a mess every spring. Keeps the rats out of your mine, they depart with the shiny stuff.
Don't keep us waiting Jason! Let's get to getting a new mine video out soon. You can be cleaning up, mucking and stockpiling while the snow melts I would think. We're all waiting!🙂
I don't even care about the content of the video so much; I mean, I do care of course, but I'm just happy to know footage from your gold mine is coming for Season 2! Instant like for the video title!
So excited for Season 2! Appreciate everything you do for us making these videos and the absolutely insane amount of physical work you put into the mine. Cheers! Looking forward to the rest of the season! 😁
You can use 2 way radios fairly well if you string a single bare wire between the portal and the working face . If you place the antennae against or close to the wire , the transmission will tend to couple to and propagate along the wire . If you had metal tracks , that would function similarly. Otherwise , using radios underground is almost useless , without giving the signal a reliable transmission path , and even that can be somewhat inconsistent . Something to keep in mind if the field phones become inoperable . You can use the field phone wire , you just have to separate one conductor and keep it separated far away from the other of the pair , or , you will tend to get cancellation of the radio signal . Years ago I could I could easily immitate the sound of a cell phone ringing . It was always hilarious in a crowded cafe at lunch time , to see 100 people reach for their pocket at the same time . Doing it in an underground environment like a mine or cave though , was HYSTERICAL . Of course the usual tourist responses were as expected , but the icing on the cake was the reaction and facial expression of the tour guide , who almost always knew very well that cell phone service is non-existent any distance in from the entrance portal .
Good one! Simple physics principals. Nothing magical. The transformer principal at work as long you have a metal conductor to transfer the radiated energy into.
My dad and I had a placer claim in Northern Arizona for 20 years. Every time we went out, it was obvious someone had been there working our claim. There was just no way to protect it from 1500 miles away.,
Did y’all have it staked out with perimeter signage? Too many renegades just go free-for-all. I check the USGS Website, chat with the locals, and I hike around to make sure there aren’t any recent/new claim posts/markers. It’s kind of funny to hike out to seemingly the middle of the woods, only to stumble upon some fresh mining claim markers! 😂 Did he end up offloading the claim? 🤘🏼
With advances in tech it is possible to remote monitor these mines now, just not cheap. You would have to install solar preferably on a pole, or topped tree, then use a starlink to relay the signal
@@russellsmith3825 The problem is that virtually everything in those remote areas gets broken or stolen. The people out there, are mostly out there because they don't do well in society. The "tweakers" leave no resource untapped. If it has a value, they will steal it to get the money for their next fix. They siphon diesel out of the Cats, and if they have a way to haul 'em, they steal the big 24 volt batteries and sell 'em for scrap. Mojave County Arizona, is a vast area of desert and mountains and one deputy has to cover hundreds of square miles on his own. Every trailer left in the desert by locals, has been broken into, usually multiple times. I was out with my Minelab looking for nuggets, while my dad was at camp taking a nap in the pop up camper. When I got back I see a guy on a quad had stopped and was going through the back of the pickup truck. I yelled when I came over the ridge and he jumped on the quad and took off. I'm kind of glad my dad wake up he's a retired police captain and might have shot the guy. Then you've got a whole other mess.
Jason, I work in irrigation and have commented on your videos before about dropping everything and moving to Bellingham from Denver. I can bring so much more skills to the table than just piping and water works.
Thank ya'll for showing important details of your life. Being old, 77 means I watch you and long for when I was sluising the river. Jason you really can't video enough. Like last year trying to find those veins on the way in where miners walked over what they couldn't see under the moss and surface growth. We remember you going down to Cerro Gordo where he was mining the pillars with gold he could see but not wanting to go back in dangerous places. People have been dying regularly lusting after gold and not that many people are doing it now when gold is astronimical in value.
Hi Jason, Sorry to see the snow damage! Hopefully a big, bad bear ate the trespasser! The inside looks pretty good! Happy to see you'll have a comm system! (makes ordering lunch so much easier!) Certainly looking forward to your first BOOM of the season. Good Luck on eBay! Stay safe! Thumbs up! Jim
Hi, I just found this series and caught up on all the hours of it last night. I guess I was meant to because it's was perfect timing to then find this today 29 minutes after you posted it.
@@HarryMO81 I've been curious about your military bearing, seeing your profile pic answers that but I can't place the aircraft, your tshirt in the vid was USMC, but the pic dosen't look like an F18 or Harrier.
Beautiful scenery. 1st part of your video. Got back from hanging the washing out. It's about 30C here in Queensland. Even with the rain, it would still be a good day on the job in your own mine. 😊
Victaulic fittings, look into Fire suppression systems, shotcrete hoses use a victaulic rubber seal, but the clamp is hand done when new. Bring a hammer. I have shot-creted for years. Shot-crete the portal, drill , install anchors. If it's worth it, that's always the question tho isn't it. Bless you Crazy Mine Explorers, Can't wait to meet you
I have seen victraulic fittings fail catastrophicly on several occasions. They HAVE to be in really good condition. Using them on elbows where there is a chance of water hammer is a no no. One crew had a hospitalisation. Cases in the USA of fatalities.
I'm stoked for the new season of the mine. Have you thought about putting in a sluce at the opening of your mine? I hope to be doing some, fairly soon, of my own mining. I have some samples on my channel. I have a lot of jasper and a good amount of quartz.
Thats why they don't use screws in exterior building projects because they don't allow movement and snap off. Wood also expands and contracts with the weather but you should know all about that. Thanks for the video, wish I was there to help
Have you ever tried to adjust the frequency of the motor on finishing table ? There are videos that show vibration and frequency changes effect the sand pattern on a flat board.... Single phase or 3-phase it's still in America 60 HZ on everything it would be adjusting the 60 HZ 60 cycles per second with a special transformer feeding the motor....
In your opening scene walking to the mine in the snow sinking in with every step we call that post holing in the Sierra Nevadas. Because you leave a trail of post holes behind you.....Enjoy! Kurt in Santa Rosa, Ca.
@Jason Why not take a small tarp to hang over the cave opening like a canopy clear a little trench above the opening to run top edge the tarp in then put bunch rocks & a few pegs to hold it & let it run the water away from it running back into the cave & use a couple small tree trunks as poles attached on the 2 outer corners like a porch roof its easy to setup & take down or just when your about to leave drape it so it protects the entrance from water running back in while your gone !
I really feel like Milwaukee is missing out on making a really big hammer drill. like, they make a battery jackhammer now, when are they going to make a drill that could keep up with your pneumatic one for a few minutes. poor Harry is looking extremely bored at 12:20 😂 like, if their jackhammer just took SDS bits and and could pop that hole in 90 seconds. I've never seen an SDS drill that went faster than pain drying in anything other than the softest material
Hey Jason, good to see your back in action.. Nothing gets the veins in my neck pumping like thieves and/or trespassers, no respect given, no respect your getting back, PERIOD! End of story!...Your a better man than me Jason, thats all I can say....Good to see Harry helping ya, get focused on making it happen, you-all know whats needed to make matters easier and productive, get er done! Can't wait to see things running smoothly...and see the AU... ⛏️⚒️💪🤙🤠
I never heard so much BELLYACHING with you climbing that mild slope and hike. Well maybe Ill rephrase that. Two Toes bellyaches way more! Great channel, excellent mining operation. Keep up the good work sir and good luck.
Old Harry seems to be doing most of the work well on film anyways . I’m with you Harry and at the end of the season when it’s payday you have video proof of your manual labor haha
Ive built decks before, and in order to properly support the crossmember, you need to dig a hole, and have a vertical board go from the ground to the horizontal piece. If you do two of those, it wont collapse. Using one board from the ground to the crossmember, (and cut it to go directly under) takes all that weight instead of hoping your screws (which have terrible sheer ratings) hold tight. If you are having sheer problems, use nails. nails are 2x stronger against sheer. Thats engineering knowledge It doesn't hurt to add strength to your deck when you are carrying rocks out. and if you are leaving tools in there, it couldn't hurt to hide a trailcam
Probably not quite as bad in the mountains, but in the deserts of Southern California it takes a lot of steel, installed well, to deter the scavengers. You have to have a high quality lock and then you have to mount it in a way where it's really well protected. I expect you're wrapping up the season now, I'll be interested to see what you ended up doing for this year.
Shame about the trespassers, maybe at the end of this season, dismantle the decking into the shop and set it back up once snows clear. Would make it less accessable to trespassers and save you material damage by the snow and winter
Snowmobile or snowcat for spring access, or have a small dozer or best is a articulated tree farmer, you have a road. A steep sloping roof over the portal platform to deflect the snow. We used to get an average of 20 feet of snow and -40 Celsius.
Happy you're back to your baby. I look forward to season 2. Re:the door open...could a bear or mountain lion have done that? For some reason I think if it were humans they would have closed the door when they left, and probably expected to return with more buckets. Next time you arrive blast an airhorn into that portal. Alert the critters you have arrived. We want you safe.
Why why why are people so stupid and greedy I'm so glad they didn't trash the place. Cannot wait for this years series. I'm glad to see Harry back with you. He's a hard worker. Good luck this year
With all the good lumber you can mill a small shack would be real nice to add somewhere kind of safe. A boat wood heater or box stove would make clothes dry and bones and joints feel better. Also would be good if you and the crew gets tired to have a place to lay down for a night or two
I know the ebay sales are probably more lucrative, but I’d really like too see a large scale crush and smelt with big bars at the end.
Big bars would require a full time operation with alot more man power. Just a couple already busy guys documenting their fun for us. Im here for it
I agree i watch last year to for the ore smelt and it never happened. i was disappointed.

Your funny!!😂
Great large vire
Why is Harry doing all the work? Harry can run your camera. Time for you to do some work.
So happy this series is back. Good luck sir.
You might want to add a sturdy awning over your entrance. A sharp angled sloped would help shed snow.
Odds are it was a massive sheet or mini avalanche that hit it as is slid off the mountain. They would need an outcropping of rock overhanging to shed that properly.

@@chrismaverick9828 You're the 3rd from the top to suggest this.
@@lotharschiese8559 Great minds think alike.

Greetings from the BIG SKY of Montana. A lot of snow for the end of May by you. Around here we're fishing for paddlefish on the mighty Missouri River.
The couplers on your air lines look like what is used on fire main piping. A plumbing supply house may have what you're looking for.
Get some gabion metal mesh panels and fill them with mucked rock to make a solid deck around the opening, would be totally snow proof.

Ive built decks before, and in order to properly support the crossmember, you need to dig a hole, and have a vertical board go from the ground to the horizontal piece. If you do two of those, it wont collapse. Using one board from the ground to the crossmember, (and cut it to go directly under) takes all that weight instead of hoping your screws (which have terrible sheer ratings) hold tight. If you are having sheer problems, use nails. nails are 2x stronger against sheer. Thats engineering knowledge It doesn't hurt to add strength to your deck when you are carrying rocks out. and if you are leaving tools in there, it couldn't hurt to hide a trailcam
Did I miss a video? Was there a episode with results from the season 1 haul?
Sounds like you missed multiple videos.
and MBMLLC has other channels
@@davidanalyst671 I'm aware of the forestry one. I watch it too. Is there a 3rd channel?
WT? Jason? You treked into possible danger on the snow? Meh no problem, you blow things up in the mine.😄😄😄
Probably not quite as bad in the mountains, but in the deserts of Southern California it takes a lot of steel, installed well, to deter the scavengers. You have to have a high quality lock and then you have to mount it in a way where it's really well protected. I expect you're wrapping up the season now, I'll be interested to see what you ended up doing for this year.
Wonderful can't wait to see your progress. Good luck and stay safe.
Shame about the trespassers, maybe at the end of this season, dismantle the decking into the shop and set it back up once snows clear. Would make it less accessable to trespassers and save you material damage by the snow and winter
Snowmobile or snowcat for spring access, or have a small dozer or best is a articulated tree farmer, you have a road. A steep sloping roof over the portal platform to deflect the snow. We used to get an average of 20 feet of snow and -40 Celsius.
Thank you very much!! You are very generous to show that
Yay! I've been looking forward to you getting back in your mine!
Happy you're back to your baby. I look forward to season 2. Re:the door open...could a bear or mountain lion have done that? For some reason I think if it were humans they would have closed the door when they left, and probably expected to return with more buckets. Next time you arrive blast an airhorn into that portal. Alert the critters you have arrived. We want you safe.
One of those tracked dump trucks would be ideal for accessing the mine through the entire season.
Thanks for the next installment Jason, and the plus is the short vid, which i can fit in now! 😂👍
Just came across your channel and subscribed. Like your honesty and content, and your picture quality is excellent, thank you, and best of luck.
A new Season?! Jason, Your the Best!!
Awesome, looking forward to some mining!
Why why why are people so stupid and greedy
I'm so glad they didn't trash the place. Cannot wait for this years series.
I'm glad to see Harry back with you. He's a hard worker.
Good luck this year
With all the good lumber you can mill a small shack would be real nice to add somewhere kind of safe. A boat wood heater or box stove would make clothes dry and bones and joints feel better. Also would be good if you and the crew gets tired to have a place to lay down for a night or two
Awesome Jason that country is unreal it’s a pitty.some one broke in hope everything is okay
