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...

I would not love it if anything happened to you, Gly. Every time I watch a vid, I remind and reassure myself everything is ok cause there is footage uploaded. Be well, and stay well buddy. Do what you do so I can stay comfortably in my armchair. Much love
That old shack is amazing. It's a lot older than the 1980's. Iron doesn't acquire a patina like that in 40 years! I love the latch on the door. It looks handmade. When those old boys needed something, they didn't run down to the local hardware store There wasn't one! They made what they needed.
Chris Ackerley
“Gly”: I may go back and dig my way into that old mine by the cabin. A little bit of work might have great rewards!
Abandoned and Forgotten Places that’s what I was thinking. Yeah. Cool trip that’s for sure. Stay safe
Wonderful stuff, so envious of all those mines I'm thinking of moving to Nevada/Arizona! Will have to bring my Ram and Harley with me!
Dude i wish i could explore a mine. I feel like that would be super cool to do. Scary obviously but so worth it to be literally surrounded in nearly untouched history.
The colors again are gorgeous. Being a geologist I love mine videos. I'm disabled now, I love your mine tours, calming to me. Thanks again Gly.
Kim Kuerbis
“Gly”: Thanks Kim! This coming fall I’ll be two years remission from colon cancer. The chemo really screwed up my brain that’s why I have a hard time spitting out geology terms on occasion. There was a time when I could speak quite fluently but I’m getting better. Making these videos is great therapy. Take care!
That crumbly granite really is creepy! I see that our "dry lake" basins are not nearly as dry as usual due to all the snow and rain we've had this year. Good thing Bob knows how to wade through the water.
Evelyn Moyer
“Gly”: Yes, decomposing granite makes me nervous and by the looks of this mine it made the miners nervous too. Yes, lots of spring runoff this year. Nevada must have had one heck of a winter last year.
Very sketchy and dangers mine...No miners Artifacts....Sure GLAD you made it out ok.........Thanks for bring us along..........JB...........
Wow great mine Gly part 2. Those Wedge Anchors In loose Rock still scare me. Seeing those straps lying on the floor says something. Great untouched mine Gly
5:09 that's a high stakes Jenga game right there.
Another tense walk with you. This mine channel looked very crumbly also, but you ventured on into the "old workings" which really looked crumbly........as you say, Sketchy......I think. Want to keep following your exploring so stay safe.
Fantastic mine. Wish I could have been there. Many thanks for sharing. Best wishes Paul in Lower Boddington UK
Sketchy! Nothing like having rocks starting to roll just because of your voice. Stay safe! (And thanks for another great video!)
And I used to take leave and hit a few on the way back to Ohio. If I had only known then!! I would made a point to get photos when I was there, never put off till tomorrow, I'd say it still holds true. Thanks for finding what's left of American heritage before it's completely lost Gly.👍🇺🇲✌️
Scary spooky, nah, best to be cautious. Amazing still all those workings.
Nice video I never seen that part of the Horton mine before really cool.
Amazing!! Another cool find 👍
*stay safe out there*
Love your videos, Gly! Hope to be a proper explorer like you, one day ^_^
Jenna Bowyer
“Gly”: Thanks Jenna!
Break out the #2 shovels! I was hoping you were serious. Really a nice mine, though not extensive it was fun to see how it was dug in over an older mine. I would say lots of "decompressing gravel".
The metal strips used in conjunction with the rock bolts are nick named bacon strips
Don Marion
“Gly”: Your right! I learned that here recently myself by watching one of TVR’s episodes on the 16/1 mine.
What did the statue say to the sculpture ? Dont take me for granite 😝
I just watched this video. I saw one of your newer videos and now I'm hooked! One question though, what was the black stuff that look like it was dripping from the rocks and timbers?
Nope, none of us want to see a rock bounce off of ol' Gly's head! I'm sure of that. That mine was pretty cool and the shack was in pretty good shape. On to the next one!
Exactly at 15:27 what the heck is that loud bang? Sounds like a big rock falling on metal in the distance. Headphone users, crank it up starting at 15:26 to hear it...
Possibly Gly hitting some of his equipment by accident on the wall
I think you forgot to go through the part you said were the old workings and could get to it from another part of the mine. The place where it was a tight squeeze and you saw the ore shoot.
Thanks for This tripp.... Now i go 1 eps. back
I also have a 12 volt blower motor get some fresh air into the mine after we open it but I'd still wait a whole day
timber and cribbing have a cap and wedge on top usually
You go into some sketchy places! nice work lol
Great video thanks for sharing, also subbed your channel. Al
exploring with Al and ioan
“Gly”: Thanks Al I’m happy you enjoyed the video! These mines are allot different from what your used to. I really enjoy watching your videos because your mines are much older and you rope into places. That’s an activity I cannot do. For now ;)
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces I will mention your channel on mine, it sure is very enjoyable to watch. Al
exploring with Al and ioan
“Gly”: Thanks Al I really appreciate that! I’m working hard to make these videos the best they can be but TH-cam’s computer hasn’t been doing a very good job of offering this type of content to people that are interested. I understand it takes time so I will keep plugging away at it. Thanks again!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces same here I have been at it a year or so...
exploring with Al and ioan
“Gly”: TH-cam still has allot of work to do with there platform. As with anything, if you do good work the money will come. TH-cam is a marathon not a sprint. That’s what they keep telling me anyways.
pretty awesome looking mine
Poor cat . Wonder if a ghost did it in , I feel bad for all the animals that have been turned lose to fend for themselves. Anouther cool buildinge
Problem is, if a rock fell on you, there would be no Gly to upload the video for us to watch, we wouldn't get to see the video in the making...the long stick with a paintbrush on the end could be for painting the end of the mine...or for scratching the back of the miner in front 😂🤣. Awesome explore Gly!!!!
Real narrow drifts for when it was worked, they wouldn't have been able to get any trucks bigger than a 3-ton Young buggy in there. Probably load-and-carry with a 1- or 2-yard LHD like an EIMCO 911, 912, or Wagner ST-2B based on the era.
Ummm haunted. . . Ok I wasn't even concerned let a lone frightened. LOL
At 15:31 there's some fluorescent green stuff on the top, is that moss or some kind of rock?
spray paint
5:07 they did not finish the game 😔
Another great video! Loved that little offroading clip. Is that the Rockies? Do you ever get around to Texas to do any of this?
Colin Leiby
“Gly”: Thanks! No, the mountains in Nevada aren’t actually considered the Rockies. The Rockies are in mostly Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico and rise over 10,000 feet. Most everything in Nevada lies below that height. The far Western side of Texas has some low level mountains but I’m not sure how many mines are in that area. I’ve never been there and I haven’t researched it.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces I'd be doubtful we had too many, and most of Texas land is private - something both good and bad.
Incredible - just one beauty after another !! I'd love to hear a touch more about the geology if you could manage it. I'd be too busy licking rocks that I wouldn't notice if I got caught in a collapse. it looks like someone needs to work that back with a scaling bar. Then it would still take a couple days mucking out the haulage with an LHD. Definitely old workings with the round trunks for timbers. It's always a great idea to carry fresh shorts in case of accidents. It's hard to see the BLM and USFS destroying so much old history. Thanks for a great adventure !!
It's kind of hard to tell how structurally sound this mine is when the voice is soft throughout the entire video.
But then the rocks tumbling around tell me that some of it IS structurally sound because of the echoes from that tumbling.
As background information, it would be nice to know when it was first mined and when operations stopped.
“Gly”: I learned later that this location was being mined since the early 1900’s then this newer an more modern adit was blasted out in the early 80’s and operations ended about 85 - 87.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Thanks that answered a lot of questions. Keep them coming!
As I look at those collapses and rotten granite areas I wonder if you have to carry some type of transponder or personal locator device of some sort. I'm sure there's always the possibility of an issue of getting trapped. Just wondering......(and if they'll even work down deep in there)
“Gly”: When I’m solo exploring like in this video I have a triple redundant location / rescue plan in place. If anything were to happen I would be located in less than 48 hours. Recovery would depend on the nature of the accident, collapse, etc. as to not endanger rescue personnel. I have many other measures in place that you do not see and are off camera. To explain them all it would get quite lengthy here in the comments section. The bottom line is that I’ve thought of most every scenario and planed for it.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces thanks Gly. I'm sure you've planned for every contingency, but my question remains unanswered as to whether or not rescue signalling devices will work down there???
“Gly”: For inside the mine one could possibly wear a locator beacon similar to what skiers or snowmobilers wear for avalanche recovery but I don’t think that would work when dealing with solid rock between you and the person that’s trying to find you. The density of the rock as well as its mineralization would most likely impede its performance. Worst case scenario, if your trapped behind a massive collapse in an abandoned mine there will be no rescue. The truth of the matter is your attempted recovery in such a scenario would endanger the lives of rescue personnel and you would die from oxygen loss, dehydration, starvation or hypothermia. Essentially, the mine would become your tomb. This is the cold hard reality of a abandoned mine explorer.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces yep, cold hard truth. I guess you could prolong your survival time with water and some emergency food. All I used to take with me was a couple cans of Coors beer and a pack of Marlboro reds!
How long do you drive from home to the Mines??
Do you meet other people out there?
Very good Excursion. 👍👍
DR Fan
“Gly”: I read somewhere that there are approximately 1.2 million retired snowbirds that live in RV’s. I’m number 1,138,325. Lol. I rarely see anyone in these remote areas. The dead giveaway is if there are fresh tire tracks on the dirt road. If I visit a remote site and there are fresh tire tracks then I’m a bit more cautious. This was a fun location, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Poor kitty. 😢
These mines are wicked cool and look for gold
I knew you couldn't keep quiet LOL
Does it have to be a number to shovel I'll do it as long as I don't have to cook
I have seen a lot of the use of chainlink in old mines here in CA. Any idea what year they started doing that?
"Gly": That was started in the 80's with increased OSHA and MSHA regulations.
I was raised in the belief that Granit was an extremely strong (though porous) and durable rock, so the idea that Granit degrades and becomes 'squishy' just does not compute 🤔 LOL
NO rocks falling on Gly's head!!!
even you experienced make you nervous
You should try meowing and offer a saucer of milk. Maybe the cat spirit would get caught out!
GV Games
“Gly”: Lets not forget candles and maybe a ring of salt? Lol
I think the term you were looking for is "DECOMPOSED GRANITE"
Where have all the forests gone? Gone to mines everyone.
No big rock on Gly's head please I really enjoy your video's!
How do you keep the camera so still when hanging it out of old Bob Gly?
“Gly”: Back then I was using a EVO gimbal.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces What a great piece of kit! Thanks for your response and thanks for all of the great content, you’re easily one of the best out there 👍
Decaying granite, is that the same as decomposed granite?
“Gly”: Yes, I meant to use the word decomposing.
How do you know so much about geology and mining? Did you go to school for it?
“Gly”: I’ve loved geology since I was very young and I ran my own gold mine in the 90’s with my family. No, I never went to college for geology I just studied many books and growing up in Wyoming exposed me to allot of field study.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces That explains why you are so comfortable scrambling through those tight sections. Hope you don't mind the questions, is the mine still in the family? Have you done an exploration video of your mine?
alex b.
“Gly”: No, my mine has been reclaimed and were no longer mining anymore. My mine was a placer operation similar to what you see on Discovery’s Gold show only much smaller. I explored hard rock mines when I was in my teens and had friends who were hard rock miners.
Is that with Gly coolness,,Or Gly clueless ,, haha
Is the song Erie Canal?
"Gly": It's been a long time since I made this video. I don't think so.
Waw man theat. WAS 👌
Cool no dislikes
I could be Wrong but I think that is Actually A Broomstick The thing that You called A Paint Brush on A Stick
Well sure didn't need to see the remains of that poor cat! Poor thing!
“Gly”: I was wrong about it being a domestic cat. It was a ring tailed mine cat and there very common in these mines.
Must be hard work carrying two massive steel balls all the time.
I would be afraid of earthquakes causing some of them mines to cave in
I'm weird.. I see faces in the rocks. . wish I could draw what I see
I would think that you could test the stability of suspect areas with a probe of some sort before you proceeded, at least if you scaled it a bit you might make it safer for those who come after you
“Gly”: Yikes! No!
How did miners lose their lives because of decayed granite ?
What sort of firearms do you prefer to carry when exploring such places? Have you ever encountered a situation that required you to defend yourself?
“Gly”: I carry my 9 mm most everywhere I go but I don’t carry it into mines as it’s nothing more than a hindrance. There’s always the real possibility of accidentally running into a clandestine methamphetamine operation in some of these really remote places and that’s generally why I carry a SideArm. No I’ve never had to defend myself nor have I ever encountered a working operation in the middle of nowhere. However, I have found evidence of such operations.
I prefer to carry an Abrams M1A2 main battle tank. Never know how much fire power you'll need
At the 5:30 mark Jenga!
People would buy the shirts if they looked cooler. Maybe make some that say “Hard Rock Miner”
“Explorer “
“Dynamite”
i dont think so your my my top banana
Yuck I hope that They aren't Any Spiders in this Video I HATE SPIDERS! They are Terrifying and disgusting and Extremely dangerous
Gross about The Granite doing that
Decomposing granite.
“Gly”: Yes, I know. I wasn’t taking my medication back then ;) Lol
LOL!
Tommy nockers
Absolutely not I love to watch all your videos thank you very much you best stick around for a lot longer don't be talking crap like that when you're in a cave like that I enjoy your videos way too much to see anything happen to you I feel like I know you I've been watching your videos so long
"Gly": Your right, I shouldn't be joking around like that when I'm in these places. I don't want anything bad to happen to me either. I'm really happy your enjoying the channel Adam. Thanks!
🦾🦾
Like the videos , just don’t like the heavy breathing the whole time
I hate seeing you break your own rules. Be safe use caution
No one wants to see you hurt! 🍺😎👍

Eww Rat Poop
No. We wouldn't see the video. Lol
Nope, none of us want to see a rock bounce off of ol' Gly's head! I'm sure of that. That mine was pretty cool and the shack was in pretty good shape. On to the next one!
