I was there in November 2009. The ore bin was still standing then. I have no idea why a small baking oven (?) is on the hill side. We explored the main adit too. There was no fence around it then. I see the shaft has somewhat collapsed since. Did you see the concrete slabs of buildings down on the 'flats' below? We didn't have time to explore the mines higher up in the canyon so your explore there is welcomed.
I was there last week, i am glad since you were alone, you did not go down. You are smart to stay on the main levels. It was fun and we used rope, it is cool down below. Take a look at my channel, will be posting it a week from Saturday if you want to see whats down there.
Part of the challenge is figuring out these places for ourselves. I'm surprised the OP even mentioned the freeway. If he reveals exactly where the site is I will promise you that idiots will camp there and destroy everything, the land owner will be forced to put up more fences and signs and eventually the BM will "mitigate" the mine, closing off all entrances and bulldozing any structures or machinery along with billing the land owner for the cleanup.
Just don't understand what kicks people get out of shooting up old buildings, cars or any thing at these old mines and homesteads just can't believe people can do that shit and I'm a hunter and a Gun nut and I like shooting guns as much as the next Guy.
Hello sure like these adventures your research is top notch you have very thing all planned out of the lay of the land and your explaining of things make it real exciting .I went back to where the stone oven I will call it way out in no man's land from the rest is a big mystery and no slang pile of refining was seen on my end and why is there a cable going to it .I will go back and re watch for the 3rd or 4 the time there must be some reasoning we hope . ⛏️💣Tell next time 🏆🇺🇸p.s. any idea why or how you found Mellon's in the mine
Obviously an old mine as the workings go off in dogholes in all directions. Often veins split up into what the miners called mares tails and they just had to chase them..
To make things more interesting, it has to be educational. What rock types and structural influences contributed to mineral deposition. How in the first instance, what and how influenced someone to punch a hole into the rock.

I'm getting my retirement in one lump sum soon and I'm going to use it to explore mines and get the treasure that nobody sees out of them and it's not artifacts!!!
I own a very large mining claim and people coming into it without any regard is trespassing, if these same people are killed or injured they will sue my family and probably win in court. This is probably a nice guy but he doesn't realize the fence is there for a reason but just if ignores it? Gherkins.
I'm sure like any active claim yours is well posted? If I had an active claim it would be posted everywhere from the road to the trails. BLM probably put up the barbed wire.

You need to slow down going through those adits. We watch so we can see the geology and the stuff left. If you sprint through the adits; we might as well watch someone walking down a hall.
That's an Indian kilm on the side of the Hill the old-timers would build those for testing ore samples
0:03 If you remove all the grass from your video, then we can say that you are on Mars! Everything around looks like on Mars. 😁👌
A lot of that looks like it was stoped to the grass roots. Some nice looking quartz still around.

Hi Jan, just stopped by there last week, we had a fun time, its really cool down below.
I've seen those ovens at other mines so they definitely had some purpose!
@@Glenn-em3hvthey are there for a purpose? Really?
get tired just thinking of the amount of work all that digging through rock took.

How long do you think it takes to dig tunnels like this. Weeks, months, years?
The fireplace you showed might have been a bake oven tho in a wierd place...
Cant wait for part 2
What’s the little flashlight you use ❓💥
Those are saints
Its obviously a rock mine...
Smmfh

Relieved you did not touch or disturb that tortoise at all, cool.
That was a hellva physical explore. These 71 year old bones wouldn’t last long. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you!
This is a really good video. It's very amateur (meant a good way). Well worth watching.
Would love to see assays of that waste rock and such. The old timers were good but tec has gotten better for the micron gold /silver
That fire pit is awesome. That was a great idea. It property blocked the wind that night from putting out the fire. Very clever.
Fun explore. Good job!
Great video!
👍👊😎
Nice footage. Truly fitting for the Desert. I am fortunate that I can sit here in the dreary East and watch this.

I am 6'5 also. Why I watch a lot of exploring videos on TH-cam.
What an image- seven dwarfs miners😂😂😂😂😂
There was an eighth dwarf named Lumpy, but he died of cancer.... 😈
Wait a minute, you're also 6'5"? I watch your videos and always think to myself that there is no way I am going to fit. lol
Where did the desert mines late 1800's early 1900's get their water into such isolated areas to be able to process what they were mining for?
Obviously an old mine as the workings go off in dogholes in all directions. Often veins split up into what the miners called mares tails and they just had to chase them..
Sometimes the Feds will knock down stuff I am thinking. My opinion
Holy shut that’s a decent find ya found 👍
You should have taken that tortoise out of that mine because they get stuck in them and die because there's no food!!!
yep, elements will gradually wear most anything down over enough time.
I've went to this mine many times as a kid we use to ride are dirt bikes to it their use to old x
Cars and stuff
That’s a fantastic mine to explore. Great video guys !!!!
you can see the stains on the wall from the fluids that were in the concrete tanks.
🥸👉small oven looked like Pizza oven if not " maybe mercury burn off???
Thanks for the tour and look forward to part 2

That was hairy for awhile going through those claustrophobic tunnels.
Tunnels aren't claustrophobic..
They may be claustrophobia-inducing for some people but they're not claustrophobic, per se.
Jussayin ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Feel better now. Just saying. Go correct someone else. I'm tired of you douches on youtube doing this,.@@88_TROUBLE_88
Great video I see you forgot your gloves agin
Funny, kenny Veach could be right in that hole, but no one is checking.

Do some research. Not hard to find

Ya ok
Great video
interesting concrete work and a tortoise! thx for the vid
What a Great video DT,,,Good Job
Possible to share the location ? Thanks Rich.
Nope. Do some research.
That was cool. As always! Thank you!
Perhaps that little structure is a shrine of some type? Roman Catholic miners?
I would of saved The tortoise he will fire there can't get food or nothing with moisture to survive he is trapped not living there
There are tortoise's that live in the Mojave Desert.
My fried Jen had one close by . Charlie was his name j
