It doesn't happen very often but it can happen. We got turned around in this mine which was kind of funny, especially when it happened just moments after I said... "I never get lost in mines". Haha.. this one made a fool out of me! As you watch this, just imagine if all your lights failed in the furthest reaches of this mine. Scary stuff.

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...

Very happy with more frequent videos and enjoy all the content. Laura's a Star. Her calm, pragmatic manner is a good foil for Gly.
Gly, you need a map in some of those mines.....wow....Your sense of Direction Amazes me.......Thanks for bringing us along........JB.
Wow! Thanks for the longer exploration. I wouldn't mind if your videos were two hours long. In fact, I'd love it. Great work guys.
Thanks for sharing. Hercules Dynamite was in the town next to me called sayerville N.J. be safe 🙏
Lovin' Gly & Laura, exploring mines the old fashioned way!!
Swiss cheese mine, this rings a bell, you could have done this before. Don't recall this entrance. This sure is new and news to me. Glad you've got a mind for it, me i'd panic. They had time for all that gobbing, industrious. Sounds like it makes you want to spit. What an adventure, Gly and Laura did it again, Kudos.
The "Everlasting Gobbed-stopper Mine". Cool explore, guys!
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW…nothing much more to add…what a rabbit warren of a mine - so easy to get lost…Tks for the explore!
considering how much waste rock there was outside and how much gobbing is in there the amount of ore they mined out must of been crazy.
This was great seeing all the work. Great adventure. Thank you both GOD bless
Gobbing in some areas is amazing. Beautiful.
The first time I ever saw ya take a wrong turn!
Amazing mine thanks so much for the long episode . The gobbing was amazing
I liked this adventure. It's long and had many different places to see. Thank you! 👍😊
how tedious it would be to stack all those gobbing rocks!
Gobbing reminds me of stone walls all over New England. Swiss cheese lol. How bout hunchback
Good to see yous on a Wednesday..thx guys
Back to your roots Gly. Awesome episode. Please keep them coming. The big decline at the start looks like they intercepted lithium viening
Eb. Watching from Australia.
Has anyone seen Gly so happy? I'm certain that I heard a 'Sweetie' or two in there.
Hahaha 👍 🤫
Definatly heard a sweetie ....
Well, Gly and Laura who ever put that "swiss cheese" mine in was obviously on to something and wether or not they made anything from all the hardwork is something to definitely ponder over. It must have also been a big team of guys who worked it.
That was one of the coolest and interesting mines you've explored.
A maze of gobbing, quite beautiful. Another great explore. Stay safe as always. Love to you both xx
🇨🇦 Nice job guy's.
Great video 🐿️
❤🧀🗻Great Video as always.
This is such an interesting mine, ive never seen anything quite like it.
Thanks Gly and Laura! 🫶
Great episode, just too short! Just kidding, for me you don’t need to worry about the length, I could watch this exploring for hours. I think the mine shpuld dictates the length. Chopping up in segments would take away from feeling we are with you as you keep going. Great episode Gly and Laura!
This is another one that you called Swiss cheese guess that ore had the miners gone crazy. Miner said "tell my wife and kids I'll be home when I find my way out of this Swiss cheese mine. Oops I may never go home I took another wrong turn right hand rule failed me big time" I can really hear a miner saying that. 😂😂
Thanks
“Gly”: Thank you!
i can imagine the utility of having some super long "tape" or other fabric type lengthy thing that you coudl bring up at the entrance of a mine, and it would have an arrow pointing outwards form the entrance that could be used as a reference. then at each branching point have a new length of tape started with the arrows pointing in the direction of an Exit, and the primary "tape" make it be 500 to 1000 foo long lengths per roll, and it could be quite useful to mark your path while exploring, or i can imagine for Active drift mines, as an extra safety mechanism.
I like longer episodes. 😅
Laura sees bats yells: "Duck!", Gly replies "Where?", SPLAT! Thanks guys, loving the Wednesdays. Seems like that was the Swiss Cheese / Headbanger Mine.
Here we go!!!
Ditto!!
I get lost in a mall lol
I wonder at todays prices if there is enough in the gobbing to pay out. It would be interesting to haul some to a crusher.
Gly, could it be Lithium? I recently read an article about Lithium being found along with iron pyrite. 🤔
Should have titled this one Gobs of Fun.
woohoo!
Find a box of gold would be good!😀
I LOVE YOUR INTRO! GLY
Confucius Say He Who Go To Sleep 😴💤🛌🏻 With Itchy Butt...😳Wakes Up With Smelly Fingers🤭🤌🏻 LOL 😆
I stopped counting the number of head hits you both seemed to manage. Yep, helmets all the time. Now, take Tylenol for lower back pain or Ibprofrin.
I have it
What happened to Mr.M ?
Those guys from that first mine were probably trying to jump in on the late-70s spike in gold prices.
Sweetie? What the hell is going on here?
Holy shit gly. You got rid of the stupid drone shots and will start making vids about the mine instead of you again? Well, I'm glad and I shall start watching your videos again! Saw the thumbnail of this vid and clicked it to make sure it wasnt a rerun.
Gly,Have you ever asked Laura for a kiss ?
The layout of this mine is insane! Swiss cheese is the absolute perfect name for it. From what I've seen in your videos so far, this is probably the best one yet. Well done, Gly and Laura!
What happened to Mr. M ?
Gobbing is cheaper than timbers. Especially when wood is scarce. The old timers worked so hard. What a cool mine!
I would call this mine "The Gobbing Mine". Think of all the hours spent stacking all the waste rock! Thank you both for this tour!
I'm one of the ones who enjoy longer episodes, so thank you!
An amazingly complex mine. Huge amount of gobbing - the most I have seen on any episode. The amount of labor is almost beyond amazing. Thanks to Gly and Laura for another cool adventure.
You should check out some mine from Pennsylvania...those old coal mines are nothing but gobbing and very beautiful
I have some coal mine videos from Amazing Pennsylvania in a Mine Play list on my channel...some beauty's or just go to Amazing Pennsylvania and scroll through his videos
Awesome mine , wow Swiss cheese galore ! Very awesome mine . Appreciate all you both do! Have a good week ! Be safe see you Saturday! 🙂👍🏻
Beautiful mine. I actually like the longer videos when the geology is so cool or the artifacts are plentiful. I get bumbed when I see a video thats only 34 mins long...lol Thanks for a great tour of this cool mine.
This is one of my favorite mines you've explored - between the geology, the amount of work they did, and ridiculous amount of gobbing, it's awesome.
Australia watching , well done
Gly! I applaud your addition to the channel! Laura is absolutely a perfect fit for you and, quite frankly, the channel itself!. Looking forward to all the future shenanigans yall get into and share with the rest of us!
Love the old intro ...classic
Parts of that mine looked like mideaval castle walls! I like the longer episodes
Worth a like just for the head bumps alone 🥴 They were so precise about cleaning out that ore! It's like a negative relief of an ore body. Ton of pick work and all that gobbing. Picture in my head is of a beehive of workers. Wonder how many dollars they took out of there.
I don't know about Swiss Cheese, this mine should be named the Headbanger Mine.
Loving the old original style and the the theme music
This is the way these should be done , easy peasy and not to fancy ! 👍🌕 😉😎
Definitely Chinese labor ! You didn't find ponderosa brand on the timber!
Now Time for Some Hot Butter Solf Prizel's and 🍺 🍻
In the old days, graffiti did not involve cuss words, funny how the taste of soap as kids affected such things.
I loved that long episode. What a great mine. Thank you.
Sorry Skoal, auto correct
Haha, Gly!
"I have a um..." Temporarily forgets the term photographic memory... Later doesn't know where they are in mine... Forgets to edit out forgetting where they are in mine... 😂
Big mine, very cool!
another GREAT explore with Gly and Laura .. thanks guys , keep up the good work
This is so exciting! I hope you are having the time of your life you guys! #Laurasupporter
I live in Cripple Creek. The descendants of the donkeys that pulled the ore carts in our gold mines are protected and allowed to wander around town.
Been in crippled crick didn’t see no donkeys Cept those playing slot machines 😝😆
Now that’s a complex mine. Awesome explore. I have to say “Laura the explorer” is the best thing to happen to you and your channel Gly. Laura adds a great perspective and between you both the running commentary really adds to the history of each area and mine. My wife and I never miss an episode particularly now there is 2 a week. The best mine exploration channel on TH-cam by far.
Gly, why are you no longer using the yellow cloth and the beacon to show where you went in case of an emergency?
He’s not alone, if he gets hurt or has a medical issue there’s someone to go fetch help
@15:00 those are called 'Waste Tips" not waste rock piles or tailings piles...."Waste Tips"...
What a discovery!!! Glad u and Laura are living your dream. As most of your viewers would agree.
Any wine with that cheese😂😂. Laura nice thumbnail 😊
Im sure She does all her nails not just a thumb nail that is unless she only wears thumb rings 🤷♂️😝😆 hi Tina bet you thought I went away 🤣 still here 🤭
@@rawbsworld6604 Every one is free to come and go as the wind😊
@@tinadelwiche416 👍 true! I never left though, could view and like just lost my ability to comment, technical issues 🤷♂️ not TH-cam punishment 🤣
The mine said you think you really have a photographic mind. I will show you, lol.
gly,bang, laura, bang, gly, bang, laura, bang, gly, bang, laura, bang,.... stop calling me.. my head hurts.. chineee only 4' 5''..
Superb Explore, my lower back is screaming for you, I get back spasms and that bending at the waist is harder on my back then lifting heavy items all day. I use Methocarbamol and Ibuprofen to help with the spasms. Helps most of the time. I can not believe it I am winning one of your Specimens on eBay again. Love the Obsidian, I must confess I love all teh Specimens, but Obsidian and Peacock Ore (Chalcopyrite) are 2 of my favorites.
@Gly/Laura ... Very interesting both. As you eluded to there being vehicle haulage in that mine, a daft idea I toyed with in the 80's and 90's was to explore old slate mines in Wales ... on a motorbike!! Crazy days back then LOL!!
There's a slate mine near the Tranygrisiau reservoir that has a huge Euclid haul truck in it.
A motorbike seems perfectly feasible 😅
Awesome mine, thanks for sharing.
I never heard anyone pronounce roots like foot before instead of like boots.
Laura: is that price? Oh nevermind, that's something else. 😂
I love these videos.
Wow thats crazy the amount of gobing it should be called The Gobs Mine. To me one of the most amazing things is where does those huge pieces of wood come from and i have cut my share of trees those sections are heavy maybe 100 to 200 lbs how in the world did they get those back in those narrow areas. Imagine carring those bent over.😅✌️
Very cool mine! The amount of gobbing was impressive!
Excellent adventure. I enjoy the more lengthy videos. Amazing the work that went into doing this mine, tough workers back then...
A lot of work went into backfilling and gobbing that huge cavern!
That 1st. adet just kept going down in depth, interesting. 2nd. mine, "they" were cleaning out "pockets" all over the space!! Where ever the vein shot through. My gosh! look at the drifting, back & forth. Guess you were onto something regarding the history of Chinese miners working in this area, cause look at the low "back" through out. Poor you'se and your backs. At the stone arrow, 31:31, as you tagged this mine "swiss cheese". Early on in your exploring days, when you ran into a cross sectioning mine like this, you would set down "flashing strobes", to make sure that you got back out. (look at you now! so "seasoned" in exploring, you know right where you are), well almost...ha,ha. You got turned around in that "circle". (Most of us would have been lost "way back".) At 41:26, look! at that beautiful gobbing! Wow! thats alot of work. Through the "skinney part", I would have sat on a rock, for a "time out" for my back....many times. Sure was some pretty geology thru-out. I even spotted some Turquoise Chrisocola. Thanks for "hanging in there" you two so that YOU & WE could see it all!!
Wow!!! What a beauty of a mine. Superb gobbled walls and so many pockets, raises, etc. You had me lost. Thank you so much for going through this mine. Just terrific. 🎉🎉
Would those short/smaller areas ever be worked by children back then??
wondering around like today, you could go 30 to 45 minuets more and we would still be watching you, thank you two
The work done was beautiful great job guys as always I enjoy watching your shows. Stay safe 👍👍👍👍
I just love Laura.....sorry Gly. I'm a fan girl LOL
That like, share & subscribe ‘special effects’ was awesome Gly. Always innovating to be on top of your game 😉👍
Great mine explore. I truly enjoy these longer episodes.
Can you just imagine the size of the waste rock pile if all that gobbing had been hauled out? And I can only wonder what got buried and backfilled. What artifacts must be hiding underneath all that gobbing.
Excellent Episode-and an Incredible Exploration!
This had to have been a fun one! All the stulls (stuhls?) and gobbing is insane! Love it!
With all the walls of gobbing, this looks like an old, abandoned underground city. Awesome mine!
It's amazing that a mine this size is undocumented. BTW Gly, I'd say you should update your intro to include And Laura after your name. 😁
Very well done... as usual :-) Thank you for the extended exploration, I really enjoyed it.
Not sure about swiss cheese, more like a termite mound. I'd love to see 3D models of the mine you explore to give us another perspective altogether. Take care now. TTFN
That is a really cool mine. I would have loved being the gobbing crew, just let me stack rocks for ya! lol
WOW!! That wore me out. I can't imagine how long and how many men it took to build all that. Thanks much to you both for showing me something I could never see otherwise.
I surmise management broke the labor into two section’s experience miners to the left inexperienced newbies to the right as they obviously didn’t know how to stack gobbing so it stayed put! 😝
