- We dig out an old portal collapsed for 100 years and find some new passages in the Yankee Boy Mine.
This is a fast paced and exciting Mine Exploration Channel. We have been in hundreds of abandoned mines in Canada, United States and Mexico. Recently we have purchased our own abandoned mine the Yankee Boy Mine! We are rehabilitating the mine so the public can explore an abandoned mine for themselves safely. Join us underground and we will show you things no human has seen for decades! A fast paced, exciting channel that will not bore you. Visit our website exploringabandonedmines.com for directions, exciting pictures and merch.
We have recently purchased a mine called the Yankee Boy in Grand Forks BC, We are restoring the mine so we can take people for a tour of an underground mine . It will be open in the spring of 2023. For more information on the history of the Yankee Boy Mine go to minfile.gov.bc.ca/summary.asp...
Visit our mine exploringabandonedmines.com
Mines are being filled in, demolished, and/or collapsing at an alarming rate, so it is crucial to document them and save these artifacts while it is still possible.
This is all about mining and mining exploration. Join us for our weekly adventures as we go deep underground into historic abandoned hard rock Gold, Silver and Copper mines. We relive the Prospecting, Gold Rush days, going back in history with every expedition. Visiting abandoned and forgotten places, climbing down mine shafts into dangerous mines, finding treasures, seeing antique heavy equipment such as ore carts, crushers, milling machines, ball mills, explosives and other mining equipment.
We have a new website site exploringabandonedmines.com once there you can see how the mine is doing, support the channel and buy merch, we have stickers, hats, hoodies, t shirts and mugs. New items being added.

When Frank said "We're feeling a bit lazy today." I realized MY "lazy" would be Frank's catatonic!
This couple is amazing!
Yep I'm sitting her with a back that won't hardly let me walk to the other side of the house and watching Frank run that pick. He's a Ironman! Do yah ever find any ore that could possibly pay with enough effort?
@@vicferrari9380
I hope they find a missed Ore patch!
That'd be great for them!
They could possibly 'sell' souvenir ore.
They’re amazing
@@MistahBryan Unfortunately they don’t own the mineral rights.
@@MarkBrockman1956 oh..
That stinks!
Frank & Sharon, thank you both for showing us how you move mountains at
The Yankee Boy Mine! You've come a long, long way.
Frank maybe you could call for volunteers to come with metal detectors and sweep the area where the miners had a camp set up a hundred years ago, 11:11 I know metal detector people love areas like you have there.
All the best for your birthday 🥳 squeaky 🎉🎉🎉
Your 1000,s of miles away from me on the south coast of England,but I got to find away of getting over the pond to see you guys , mines looking fantastic your hard work is paying off
Looking great up that way , definitely shaping up !!! ✔️☠️👌
Love your Intro. Bravo, getting closer to completion. Going to change your last names to "Diggers". ha ha ha.
The mine is looking great aswel as the museum, and that darn mine keeps getting bigger wow.
Another great video Sharon and Frank. Sure have moved a lot of material. You guys be safe now.!
Your community is awesome, it's nice to be loved. ✌️❤️ from Australia.
Pretty great what you and Sharon and any helpers have accomplished. When you were in the adet Frank, I see what the miners were going for......a quartz vein that went up & up right next to the hanging wall. Later in your film you confirmed that with your drone and we seen how that channel went all the way of the hill. Outstanding accomplishment, restoring this old mine for the public to view. (you had a "dream Frank", you made or are making it come true. Your quite the mine explorer and now MINER! Thanks for sharing your quest with us.
Glad to see you and Sharon are doing well Frank,thanks for all the great clips.
Awesome. New passage. At Yankee Boy. You and Sharon are always ready for hard work. Glad Yankee Boy is open. All your work is coming to a reality. Bless you my friends. Stay safe.
Thanks my friends
Thanks again my friends
Thanks for the update Frank, it's all coming along nicely.
Pete Australia 🇦🇺
Yeah we are havin fun, thanks Pete
the museum looks amazing you guys have come a long ways in 2 years !
It's such a pleasure to visit the mine that just keeps on giving us more excitement every video . Cheers Alan UK.
Badass video as usual !!!
Everything sure looks nice!
Fantastic progress, sooooo nice to see. Thank you for sharing!
Complements to the Cook, it takes a lot of good food to get all the energy to Mine. That reminds me of something I need to get from the Fridge and watch this ONe More TiMe! I got all Day. Like Subscribed and Shared with all my Friends.
Your hard work is showing merit as more of the mine is uncovered. We enjoy your videos.
Please be careful going in these mines. All the best to your whole team.
I love the mine man
Interesting.
Good stuff, thanks for sharing
You need to metal detect the old camp area. Ill bet there's a bunch of cool relics for the museum there.
Great update Frank and Sharon. And nice job with the museum - it's really coming along nicely!! The display cases are awesome. I am sure that gives you both a lot of pride! Stay safe, please!
reminds me of the painting from "Paint" movie. Great video. Museum is coming along.
would love to go to canada, see where my ancestors homeland. XD want to see the nature and wildlife, maybe camping and fishing in nova scotia XD.
Love the dynamite donations box, that’s so cool! The antique safe, scale and register fit in to their surroundings so well - you are doing a wonderful job of bringing everything together. Your efforts never cease to amaze me, it’s brilliant that you’ve now made a roadway to the top and boy are those views beautiful. Awesome job of continuing to uncover more of the mine and grateful thanks for continuing to bring these fascinating updates. With love and greatest respect for you both ❤👷🏻♂⛏👷🏻♀⛏ ❤
Thank you for all your support over the years.
🤙✌ congrats
Wow 2000 loads outta that mine ✊💪be a real good place to visit ✌️
It sure is
Unbelievable how much material the old miners left in those stopes.
Shovel is laying on top of the muck sheet lol
Congrats on opening! ...looks really good!....are you putting in large sliding glass doors where the opening is? ...... or roll up doors?
Barn style sliding doors
At the 21:35 point, you can hear with volume up , a sigh of concern either from Frank's stomach or your usual mine ghost. Please be soo careful there, Frank. We want to see lot's of people at the museum for it's history, not on a search mission. Sharon has done an excellent job on the museum, wow!
ok...we will watch out for ghosts!
Who you gonna call ? Mine busters that who!!! 🤷♂️😜 ✌️🤙
So great to see the mine and all your hard work coming together, great episode Frank
Hey Frank, great video! I would recommend a metal detector to see if a miners camp was there or not.
I'd bring my Maxster 2XT with me.
Sharon, you guys might want to build an area for the kids that will come with the tourists. Some video games, playground stuff like that.
Dig Dug! 😉
😂
They come in the mine!
Naw a big slide like at fairs/ amusement parks go in at the bottom come out the top grab a burlap bag and ride down to the museum 😳 😂
👍
Post a video when you get up to and past shaft #2. Show the progress before and after.
We will today!
Coming together nicely need a can of blue spray paint. If you know you know lol
Used em all up in Phoenix!
Another great video thanks for the entertainment is there places a person could camp out close to the mine ?
Yes
Just curious how much do those cart loads weigh, roughly… I’m sure you’ve probably have mentioned in one or more of videos, but would be interesting to know how much tonagage you all have removed by hand. Also impressed with how good that ore cart rolls fully loaded. As i have said before, incredible amazing work!
Around 1500 lbs
Hey guys, consider some fire prevention and/or suppression for your museum if you haven't already. Hate to see you guys go through what Brent Underwood did at the Cerro Gordo mine.
I would install strain gauges throughout the mine to see if the entire extant side of the mountain is stable. Too much hanging wall.
Would you let me 3d scan the mine i woukd love to map a mine
Sure!
Sharon has the safe numbers o no
Hm...i wonder if they collapsed that entrance to increase the draft. I know in NA draft in one's house as ventilation is somewhat not that common in use, in favor of AC, but here in Europe we use it a lot to ventilate, to the point where our houses are built on these principles. And one key point is that at the top, you can't have too many openings and it's preferable to have one, big ventilation. You can have many at the bottom, just not at the top. So ... maybe that's why they collapsed it??? Just a working theory.
In my mind, if there's a group that knows twice as much as i know about draft, it's gotta be a miner (and firemen). Over the years i've seen some rather enlightening concepts of ventilation, passive or forced and you have to respect their technical minds, especially when you put into context, the highly irregular nature of the mine. It's easy for me to calculate the right path and all that, all i have to work with is walls and windows. They have to account quite a lot of other things.
In the winter the air flow reverses.
why is it called yankee boy mines?
I have no idea
Just where is the Yankee boy mine where would I find it on a map I would like to come see it I watch all your videos and enjoy them I live in Illinois not far from where MO and IA and IL come together
It is in Canada. Check our site exploringabandonedmines.com
Mucking all that material and you can't even own a stone of it? No mineral rights?
Seems like a shame if true. 🤥
What would we do with the ore? There are no mills to ship it to.
