- Just a few miles northeast of Wickenburg along an easy dirt road sits the abandoned Monte Christo Mine. There's lots to explore in the surrounding area and among the several structures that stand today.

Me to
Cool. A trip to consider.
That hill ur parked by was the first place I ever found geodes!! They are everywhere out there! Haven’t made it out to the mine maybe this weekend! How many miles out is monte Christo?
check out the George Washington mine in that area and the black rock mine. i had a friend who had a friend who was worked as a miner in the black rock mine.
Very nice video. So how many miles is this trip? Also looking for people that are experienced
out in the desert thanks
Great video...is this not accessible with your Jeep?
I own the Monte Cristo Lode Mine and the Copper Belt across the road which is a Private Patented Property and the the Gold Bar also is Private Patented Property along with the houses on the property. I bought the Monte Cristo Mine from the Previous owner in 2015 and ppl keep stealing all the signs and cutting the lock off the entrance cable. Ppl can park at the cable and walk in. Driving on the road is damaging the tunnels under the road that I'm working in
are you the one who closed constellation rd
@@frankoller6824 what do you mean Closed Constellation Rd? It's open. It's a Public Road. I'm going out now to Weld the Cable up on the Entrance Road. The road is collapsing into the tunnel below and I Refuse to fix it anymore so ppl can tear up the Mine and Shoot up there.
Ya that’s a busy lil spot out there! I can see how that can be irritating.
Need someone with a camera to drop down in this vertical shaft in N. PHX. Urbex for sure 33* 41' 0.18" N. 112* 02' 47.1" W. Little walking path to enterance
This area you are parking at has good mineralized ground
I have never been that far
Just so you know after the comment you made that that's my Mining Claim along with the Copper Belt across the road and the Gold Bar at the end of the road with the old houses on it
@@garystout8224 that's great for you but I am not liking the blm. At the moment I could look up current information 4 yr ago and now they are saying mark and pay for the claim but they didn't say anything about money back if not approved. Do you have any information about this..because people who have farm lease don't have mining claim but I have been told that I am claim jumping on farm leased land
@@garystout8224 do you have a 20.6 ac on that location and do you allow people to look for gold there. Or when you are there ...reason I am saying is I A GM 1000 and I have lr 10,000 and if you wanted help finding the best place to dig the lr is 2 miles and 900 ft deep.I was out there 1sep sunk my car 3 times in Harman wash had to walk out to get help..but I survived it was a little bit of a bad trip but I have not given up
@@dmorgan5010 not true you can claim on any other land if not already a claim. You have to mark the exact area that you made the mineral discovery and take pics of the mineral and get an assay of it to prove it's value. They own the land but not what's under. You can claim the mineral if you can prove it's there
Silver bell mine Tucson
I thought I saw a pit in the aireal view
It looked like a old Caddy around the 40s. Nice video shame people destroying things they don't own. Thugs what i call them
This place is off-limits now. It has a new owner and he is not letting people go out there at all is very serious and carries a rifle. That's if you can even get past them bees that are in the witch-house now. Can't even get within 20 feet of that place without being attacked do not go there
Really? I was thinking of going out there soon.
Off limits? I disagree. It's Bureau of Land Management land. Someone may have a mining claim there, but it's unpatented ground. The claimant only has the right to extract minerals. They do not have the right to stop anyone else doing any legal activity and they do not own the land.
@@NuggetHeads I believe you are absolutely correct. This private property b.s. seems to be a common misconception amongst claim holders of unpatented mines. The claim holder carries a rifle? I carry a handgun. Tired of this b.s..
@@AbandonedMines11 I went there he wasn't there we explored the area looks like he is a desert squatter living up there. I carry a firearm no need to escalate with these guys just go back call the Sheriff's office tell them he threatened you with a gun even better just use a video camera if he comes out angry holding a rifle in his hands that is brandishing since he is not the owner. Not that I'm afraid of defending myself but you never know what can happen in these deceive political times were in legal trouble isn't worth it let the sheriff deal with them.
@@AbandonedMines11 Just so you know there is 2 patented claims on the Monte Cristo out of the 32 claims there. Also the Copper Belt across the road is all Private Patented Claims and the Gold Bar at the end of the road with the houses on it. And it's locked up tight to keep ppl out and Posted
you can't get to the mine that way anymore
