Abandoned & Forgotten Places
Documenting abandoned mines like never before!
Let's take abandoned mine exploring to the next level!
With your support you can help make this the best abandoned mine exploring channel on TH-cam!
Shot entirely in 4K! ...so, turn up those video settings!
On this channel we go deep... REALLY DEEP into abandoned mines and tunnels all throughout the western United States. We researched some of the harder to find mines and hiked or 4x4 back into them to explore and reveal their hidden secrets. Many of these remote locations are filled with cool artifacts, antiques and unique geology that will have you guessing as to why the old prospectors worked so hard to find gold, silver, and other minerals.
A&FP moves just a bit slower as compared to other mine exploring channels. Gly discusses why the miners chose these sites and he points out the geology and minerals that got them excited. Veins of quartz filled with gold and silver made many men lose sleep in the 1800’s and early 1900’s and modern prospecting still does to this very day.
DANGERS? Oh yes, there’s allot of dangers associated with old mines. Un-exploded dynamite, blasting caps, bad air, bats, spiders, and snakes all find their home in abandoned mine shafts and tunnels. Oh, and let’s not forget rotting timbers, flooded passages and collapsing rock!
Gly takes abandoned mine exploring seriously with all the proper safety equipment, training, and experience necessary to do this activity as safe as possible but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun along the way. “Gly”, your host and his band of crazy characters “Old Bob” (Gly’s Jeep), “Quackers” (Gly’s duck) and “Bobbie” (Gly’s hula girl) are sure to brighten your day with their comments and silly antics. Heck, they may even give you a chuckle or two.
Just like Saturday morning cartoons before the internet was invented, Abandoned and Forgotten Places uploads each Saturday at 7:00AM PST. (that’s 10:00AM for you eastern folks) so don’t forget to click that subscribe button and bell icon to receive notifications of new episodes!
Please LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT! All these things help grow our channel and your financial support helps us find new locations and helps put fuel into “Old Bobs” tank. Old Bob, thanks you!
Ok, now for the ugly stuff...

Thank u Gly and Laura for the tour of this museum of art and architecture of history. Just amazing 😊
“Gly”: Thanks Tina!
Yw😊 Gly and Laura 😊
Yes, thank you 2 for another great episode. This is why my Saturday is not complete until Gly and Laura go mining ⛏️.
Yes my friend you have found a special lady
Self portrait of Mr. M 😂😂 On another note, I sure do miss Mr. M ❤I called him Mr. M for, not for Magnifico but for Mr. Magic. Anyone who can poor and drink a small cup of tea and not spill a drop is pure magic.
You are so-oo right. He had his quirks that were pretty amusing.
another GREAT mine done , thanks GLY and LAURA ..
Always look forward to Saturday's...be wary down in those mines Laura and Gly. Seeya next time...
the amount of timber is incredible, just as long to pack the timbers as to mine the vein, they must have amazing people
Love seeing all the woodwork, as well as all the artifacts!
Another great mine explore with Laura!!
You are so right Gly, the timber work is amazing, and the effort of getting it all underground and in place is truly amazing and hard work.
See you next week.
Pete Australia 🇦🇺
Hard to imagine the cost of all that timber at today's prices!! Thanks for another cool episode, Gly and Laura. Excellent video
quality.
I say that the miners hollowed out the mountains and shoved the forests underground. In some parts of New Mexico, the mountains were nearly bare in living memory. The forests have largely grown back, and 90% of underground ground control is now done with rock bolts, bacon strips, and hog wire. We do still use timber for landings, chutes, and some ladders.
Fabulous mine, Gly! Thanks for the adventure... so fun. And high five, Laura! Respect!
Gly and laura great video thanks!!!!
That is some impressive timbering. The hand written note is special. Keep up the good work Gly and Laura. 😊
Awesome follow up to last weeks episode ✌❤🙏🍻🇬🇧
“Gly”: Thanks!
Hello Gly and Laura nice seeing the 2 of you as a team exploring on these adventures .p.s. It's been at least 2 or more months getting fire wood for the years to come any way keep your eyes and ears on the look out be safe .🙏❤️⛏️ Thank you i will be back .I do miss your adventures
Just an amazing amount of hard labor that goes into underground mining, and this mine really shows it, with all the materials that go into the mine in order to get the valuable pay dirt back out! Always enjoy what you discover Gly. Be safe and keep up the great work!!!
SOMEtimes I could just BUST for wanting to have adventures and can't. Thanks for preventing messy expplosions in Michigan!
It's your camera work that sends you over the top of all others in your field. Lucky Us.
Also I'm loving the little short pieces I'm seeing on utube also.
Thanks for another great adventure!
That timbering was just amazing! It may not be the oldest mine you've explored but just think about the explorers in the next century who are going to see all that equipment and get that feeling we do when we find a single jack bit. And as far as im concerned, you do a fantastic job of showing us each mine in as much detail as possible. People don't realize how strenuous it is just to explore a mine with the essentials. Add fifty pounds of camera gear to that. Its not as easy as you make it look. And another example of the hazzards involved in exploration was shown in collapse area. Just a bump could be the end of your exploring on a very permanent basis. And after hours of hauling equipment up and down ladders ropes and keeping your footing. Its very easy to accidentally slip right when you don't want to. What im trying to say is, Gly's got enough pressure just trying to capture every detail in each mine. And nobody can expect a person to climb thousands of feet in the most dangerous of conditions every week. Those mines take a toll on the most experienced explorer's. So if Gly does a double mine explore video that doesn't require ropes and the gear necessary for a deep exploration. He's just getting ready physically for the next big explore. And how many mine explorers give their viewers the footage and detail that Gly does? Thats what makes this channel so unique.
Let's give Gly the support he deserves so we can continue to enjoy venturing along with Gly in the next episode. Thanks for doing what most people can't do or wouldn't attempt, but still find fascinating Gly and Laura. Just do mines your way and we will always be here waiting to see what you have to show us.
But above all, safely. People don't mind having others risk their necks for their "viewing pleasure" but wouldn't dare to attempt it themselves.
“Gly”: Thank you very much! I continually try and make my videos the best they can be. As a matter of fact I just learned a new editing technique that’s going to start to make the productions look even better. Stay tuned!
25:44 Interesting... I believe that heavy duty wood crate used to hold 37mm "cannon" shells. Used in the turret gun of the US M3 Grant tank and also the US "37mm Gun M3" anti-tank gun which was basically a copy of a captured German anti-tank gun.
You took us to the lowest level. Some dead things around, but a nice, clean open adet so far. Wow! thats alot of wood timbering....very solid. At 23:02, what beautiful mineral colors. Thats alot of still intact glass light bulbs, unusual. Those miners sure put in alot of sweat & strength getting all those timbers in place. Sure looks solid. Boy, mining was a hard job and this was in the 50's!! As many ladders that you have climbed in four yrs., and always with one hand on rungs and one hand carrying your kimbel camera. You are something!! GO GET UM! and thanks for all that you have shared with us.
Great vid Gly! Awesome adventure!
Mine cat alley looked clean and dry ,no broken timbers or rocks intill the dead end.
Good one, Julia.
Thank you guys! Great explore of a beautiful mine with it all.
This was an amazing finish of the tour. Talk about your "risky business"😉 Laura and Gly, I was ducking my head like I was in there crawling around too 😅😅! Thanks again for another great adventure and historic lesson.🎉
...👍🏾🙏👍🏾✨✨✨HEY BOB AND LAURA... WHAT A INCREDIBLE UNBELIEVABLE VIDEO... THAT WAS AMAZINGLY TUNNEL THERE TO WALK THRU ALL THAT AND THAT 200 FEET ROUTE I'M LIKE WOW...😳... AND THAT RAT 🐀 THAT RABBIT 🐇 AND THAT SNAKE 🐍 THAT MASK 🎭 NOW THAT WAS SUPER AWESOME... I TRULY ENJOY THAT AND I WILL SEE Y'ALL IN Y'ALL NEXT VIDEO NEXT WEEK SO OKAY LATER Y'ALL... DON'T STOP CONTINUALLY STAY UP AND STAND GRATEFUL✨✨✨👍🏾🙏👍🏾...
“Gly”: Thank you!
...👍🏾🙏👍🏾✨✨✨ YOU'RE AWESOME WELCOME SIR ✨✨✨👍🏾🙏👍🏾...
I absolutely love your videos. I’m so glad to see you and Laura having a great time
“Gly”: Thank you!
Nice explore, Gly and Lady Laura
I think my personal favourite is still the Silver Spirit mine, just because of the amount of respect and compassion you showed.
To any new members, hello and welcome, it's a good episode to check out and the back story is tragic.
“Gly”: That was a fantastic site. I really enjoyed documenting that site. If I remember correctly, The Silver Souls Mine was a 6 part series.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces you certainly remembered the name better than me 😬
And it was a long adventure from the outbuildings to the collapse and your attempt to get the final resting place.
Your prayer and placement of the cross was such a poignant and touching tribute
Great explore. Love the beautiful sites and artifacts. Definitely an adventure in times gone by. Thank you for the trip.. Be safe..
A great explore guys loved it, a great mine.
Very cool mine, smaller but very interesting
Underground carpentry like that is largely a lost art in the US. You're getting me excited - our conventional rail mine (currently flooded to just below the 50 level) may be pumped out and resume operation later this year. Nearly all of its infrastructure is timber, it will be great to see it again! In the meantime, we're pushing to get our rubber-tire decline mine into production.
Thanks for the tour. Amazing amount of lumber that had to be brought in to that mine. And the time to put it in place.Wow! Kudos to the miners. Will have to go back to #72 again. Thanks Gly. (Irish squirrel)
Great woodwork in that on Gly and Laura. I love to explore and would be right with ya all the way. The banded schist in that mine was strange being vertical. Never seen schist like that before. Ah Schist, don't take it for granite. Lol another awesome museum mine. Cuddles and hugs from Arizona.
I'm thinking that you could build a whole small town with all the lumber in that mine if you could magically get it all out of the mine. Wow!!
I know exactly what you mean about age and failing body parts, I haven't been in a mine now for about 5/6 months due to COPD holding me back, plus wrecked knees! I really want to get back to it but at almost 78 that might be a big ask! But at least I have your episodes to watch in the meantime! I'm currently working out as best I can hoping to gte back underground in this wet. cold UK! Keep it coming you guys!
“Gly”: Stay strong and hang in there. I hope to still be doing this myself when I’m your age.
Great mine. Thank you
Great video ! Gly, your running out of breath a lot more lately.. Hope you can get that under control. We want to see more of Laura and you running all over the mountains and mines... Ps, your in our prayers...
“Gly”: I had an upper respiratory thing going on when I filmed this one but it’s almost over now. I’m doing much better. 👍
Great place that's so neat the things they left behind its amazing how they got that stuff in there
Hi Gly and Laura , great to see you both on another great adventure . This is such a great mine, shows' how much hard work and engineering went into getting a mine up and running . The miners sure did earn there money. Cant believe how much timber goes into these mines and the effort it would of been moving all those beams around getting them into situ and bolting them down . just want to say to everyone watching . Hit the like and Subscribe button and recommend the channel to your friends . Lets give the channel the big boost it deserves . Gly and Laura thanks for putting on another great show for us all . Australia is watching . Keep well and happy and see you next week .
“Gly”: Thank you very much Willie!
Great job again you two.👍
Thanks for exploring! Gly next time check the light bulbs for the voltage rating. Really old ones will be 110v or 115v Newer ones are 120-125v
They I am looking at your channel in a comparison to before. When Mr. M was with you you had more content. this year has been a hard year so far considering everything with Old Bob that has gone on. Laura will bring back that second perspective that I feel is needed. I'm so glad that Lura is enjoys this type of activity.
“Gly”: Indeed. 2023 was a rough year and the channel suffered a bit because of it but for the most part, things are now back on track.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces I'm happy to see you with a smile on your face! So when will we see the snozaltor 5000?
well done!!!!
All that framing is indeed amazing to behold.
This was a fun mine. I’m glad you came back.
It would be so interesting to be in this mine when it was in operation, when the mine was alive with people, light, and sound.
“Gly”: I agree!
Wow! That timbering was just like the architecture mine except this stuff was mostly intact and about a million times less scary. Not that you could get me in either mine of course - armchair mine exploring is the way to go for me! Anyway thanks Gly and Laura, cool episode!
“Gly”: Thanks! I’m happy you enjoyed it.
Again , I'm getting to old for this !
Thanks for the video and learning stuff. I like to see stuff like this.
In the country where i live my life, ( The Netherlands ) we dont have bedrock.
What a fabulous place, great explore both. Got a bit nervous there, Laura's momma will skin ya when she's what you're dragging her daughter through lmao . Stay safe as always guys. Love to you both and Laura's Mamma too ;-) xx
Good job team.
Good Morning from Waterville Maine 8 degress-Go Gly & Laura!
33: 50 is that a short man with beard in the background with that orb flash above his head hard to tell!😮
Those were some sketchy spots to climb and crawls through, Great to see the 200 level in this mine. I won another Auction, cannot believe someone let me out bid them. I see you have more Great Specimens on Ebay this week. Will have to see if I win another Specimen for my Collection of Abandoned and Forgotten Places show case.
“Gly”: Thanks David! Yep, I’m gonna have new specimens up on eBay each and every Friday. 👍
Jacket left behind after the cave bear ate the rest !
Thanks Gly and Laura for documenting this piece of our history! Really appreciate all the comments and careful exploring you guys do, to not miss much. Stay safe!
Hey im new, like what i see, plan to stay... keep it coming...
It'll happen. Push on!❤
I would've checked the pockets of that jacket at least.
Boy, that was an e-ticket ride!
Wait, the box with the shell writing... Is a 37mm gun box? The M1 37mm was a well made mobile anti-tank gun made by Bofors during WW2. Surely repurposed for use down the mine (the box not the gun lol). Great video again mate.
Gly, check the pockets of the old miners jacket, maybe some interesting artifacts.
🇨🇦 @35:20 - 35:30. There's a tiny flash of light. Then it appears goes towards Laura then disappears just before her leg. I saw bugs and all during the talk but I had to re watch that part 6x to figure out what it was. Orbs. 😉 😀 Great vid gang.
“Gly”: Mine moth.
Got roots? Bucket wants to come back! 😂 be safe. Mr.E
33:55 watch Ghostly Object go through Laura's left Leg 33:47 The ghosly Orb's moving vanishing reappear's !!!; )
Dust
Dust doesn't go through a object@@chubbrock659
The colors from the 70s? Harvest Gold and Avocado Green.
Thank you for a great video. Gly you need to do some incremental fasting to get your health up a notch or two. 👍👍🇨🇦
Good morning. Not trying to brag. I am watching from sunny Grenadines west indies
At 19:00 there's your proof that work was done here at least into the 70s. MESA (Mining Enforcement and Safety Administration) was MSHA's predecessor and existed from 1973 to 1977 or 1978. I have a 1977 underground haul truck with a MESA approval plate.
At 10:06, was that a stick of dynamite still in it's hole? It even looked like the blasting cap and fuse were still there.
@2.33 They missed a beautiful possible vein on the right behind the boarding. I wonder what it looked like in real life.
18:34 NIOSH was formed in 1970
I can't seem to edit my post, so Gly should say, the woodwork is one ... not on. Thx
Museum quality mine indeed. He Gly😃I wouldn't change a thing mate. For me, the content, and cinema photography, is off the chart mate. Just one thing though, when you're talking... Try to use the " we statement", when your out with Laura. Felt at times, it was often, the Gly Show.🤠
Probably because hes been alone for some while.....huh?
“Gly”: I guess I’m still in transition, too many mines being solo.
5:30 🤔 is that Randy 🤷♂
Must have been woried about black heal marks on the tembers and ladders lol
Where does the lumber come from? Doesn’t look like there are many trees around the areas?
“Gly”: Allot of ponderosa pine 🌲 grows in the mountains of central Arizona, especially around Prescott.
I really love that you don't publicize the location of every one of these to help preserve them. Although I love seeing how the hills look so I can see what the miners saw that lead them there, I would rather them not end up trashed by people with no respect for the history and the people who dug these mines.
Everyone LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and HIT THE BELL, but don't forget to SHARE so new eyes see this to help Gly out.
Gly and Laura, great episode! Gly one question, I would guess it's the case, but when these mines were up and running, was it extremely loud working in them?
“Gly”: Yes, the drills were very noisy, especially if there’s more than one working in the same level. Plus you have the sound of the mucker, the slusher and the ore bucket going up and down the shaft.
Forgot to mention! I was surprised by all the DYNOMITE in that cart!! Be very careful!, I see no virtue in the first hand accout in the instant development of an open pit mine... FROM THE BOTTOM! 😆😂😁
lettttssss gooooo
I can't follow how far the sceen at 34 minutes is from the entrance.
Do I see properly there are some bugs flying in the light?
What bugs are those? How can they live so isolated down there? 3:00
“Gly”: Those are small moths, we find them sometimes in warm mines.
Maybe the Snosatlator will come back. Yeah I don't know the correct spelling of it.
Who does?!!...ha,ha.
My couch is corduroy. 😂
You need to cut back on a double cheeseburger with extra bacon
Hey you. I’m ganna challenge you to explore bells cavern. You might have to lose 100 pounds though, because I had to drag my backpack with my foot and a leash through some of the holes that opens up into a huge open area, and just followed by over 26 other holes that lead you into the interns of a cavern inside of the mountain. Here in Colorado this is a normal open cave. it used to be a rock mine look into it you might be interested. I have actually camped inside this cavern overnight. You and Laura might really like it.
“Gly”: No, that’s ok, my caving days are behind me now. That’s what I used to do when I was 19 and skinny and it sure was allot of fun.
Gly ,,, the colors from the 70s ,,
You either wore them
Or saw them😂
Glo coat is floor polish
Anyone ever play Doom? Glys chest cam in motion wants a rifle. Not with lady Laura out front.
Great Video, but excuse me, less Hamburgers and more Sports will help a lot ;-)
“Gly”: No excuses. You owe me a dollar.
That was a great adventure. If you could get all that lumber out of that mine you would be rich today. Those doors look like they were built last week and the hinges were still shining. It's great to watch Laura helping you explore.
yes, I noticed the shiny hinges
Back at it again, Glad to see both of you. By the looks, this is going to be a good journey. Where you are on your knees crawling, that is one rotten timber. Those were some hard working miners, putting all that timber in.
A brown chair actually. I retired my Olive Green Naugahyde and dark walnut stained furniture years ago. As if you needed us to prod you on. I think you would go down there to spite us. ; ) As they say across the pond, Keep Calm and Carry On!
I'm so glad that you have Laura now - not just because it means you can do more crazy things, but it's nice to know you aren't spending all of your time alone :)
“Gly”: It really is a joy having her with me on these adventures.
That and the " hey stupid" check helps..
Glad you went down there and I am glad I couldn't smell down there. Thank you very much. I really enjoyed it. GOD bless you both.
Glad to hear you are going to post more frequently. Please be careful and never take any unnecessary risks!
That's when there were real men and not like now😂😂😂😂
