so cool to see everything there and not shot up or painted on ....very rare .... never seen a compressor like that before .... and an ore car too ....OH YEAH !!!!!!! would have thought there would be more to it with all of that outside ....and a windlass too ....very cool explore my friend
Awesome vid sir - thanks for sharing. That mine cart is super cool. Love that Cadillac radiator too. And mother nature must be trolling you with that balloon in there like that! :)
Always amazes me as to what one can stumble across while hiking out in remote areas like this one shown here today . Way cool find & I just love the way someone rigged up that Radial Airplane engine on that stand with an old auto differential mounted up underneath it . I’m gonna have to google the California Hardware store in Los Angeles now to see what years they were in operation as Someone purchased that Ore cart from them & then SOMEHOW hauled it and that Engine & all that other stuff ( rails , drums , wood for buildings , etc) all the way to that remote location. They must have had high hopes that whatever minerals they found would pay off the expenses of getting it all set up out there. Anyway thanks for sharing this one with us all, and in your own words “ Stay safe “ 👍👍
Nice looking hikes. A lot like what I see on the eastern slope. Dirt piles are likely overburden. I think tailings would be after ball mill and extraction. Ever used a ball o’ string?
The last miners could have been shut down by the federal government in WWII as a law was passed due to the lack of precious minerals for the war effort, gold was outlawed
Nice adventure, but I would strongly suggest being more aware of rattlesnakes. I have seen them in those barrels, under the tin, and in the shade of piles of lumber.
That compressor is really an engine, it might have been converted to a compressor but it started life off as a 1930's McClatchie Panther Marine engine.
Pretty interesting how the mylar balloon found its way through the small cave entrance, down past the ore cart & quite aways down the tunnel. Quite a journey.
If you going to be entering into portals, you need to have better lighting then that so you can see what's ahead of you at all times. On hot days it's not uncommon to run into a sleeping Mt. Lion
Boy that is a lot of up hill climbing but you are the one to find it 🏆Research and memory of your adventures .In your option was this in the Burro days or possibly I think you said maybe a out line of what they would a road .That is a compressor right but on the head seen 2 holes spark plug ??maybe a old airplane engine of the name panther ? So many ??⛏️❤️🏆
Just a heads up, the zoleo can't be "pinged". Your best bet is to leave the follow me turned on and have that sent to friends or family. Every 30 mins is sufficient.

Have you ever ran into any creatures, don't want to speak it's name into existence but I'm sure you know what I mean. Do you carry a firearm or knife to protect yourself.

Hey sunny Jim, looks like they have salty dikes too...Maybe from the 60,s?..............JB.

I appreciated how you showed the windlass and then went to it’s original position at the end of the video. Great storytelling.
DT, what a beautiful day to do some exploration . Thank you for bring us along! It's not too often when you can find an ore cart!
Great mine...short but great...one of my faves of yours...seems untouched.
That motor is unique and complete, I've never seen one like that before. Very cool.
Glad some Artifacts still there.....Kool old cart...........Thanks for bring us along.....Most Excellent video..................JB.
We're is this at its beutyful I usually in agua dulce ca mines
Pretty cool ore cart find. It was in awesome shape.
Man that ore cart is in great shape and it's old seeing as it's riveted together!!! Good seeing one with it's wheels!
That old ore cart was pretty cool!!
Awesome vid sir - thanks for sharing. That mine cart is super cool. Love that Cadillac radiator too. And mother nature must be trolling you with that balloon in there like that! :)
Really like your desert hikes.
That first peace of tin was part of a wash board used to scrub laundry
Another good hike Tim good stuff
It is snake season. Watch those hands! Good video.
Great video ,thank you for your work👍

I loved the guided tour😊
Great mine shaft….I love the iron cart….untouched history
Not sure if you saw the foot path at 19:13 just right of the rock stack and at 19:15 top right corner.
Awesome video, again you find the best places. Thank you for sharing with us.
Can you tell us about the gps box you mentioned? Thanks again.
Nice adventure.
Without giving locations, might you give a short explanation of what they were mining for?
Gold or silver
Nice looking hikes. A lot like what I see on the eastern slope. Dirt piles are likely overburden. I think tailings would be after ball mill and extraction. Ever used a ball o’ string?
Well I guess that mine didn't pay off and they gave up. But still some nice equipment around there. Love that ore car. Take care, Mike
The last miners could have been shut down by the federal government in WWII as a law was passed due to the lack of precious minerals for the war effort, gold was outlawed
I wonder what mineral they were extracting from that mine?
How did they get all that stuff up there?
The hills have eyes , friendly ,
I'm glad you grabbed that balloon in the future it would have been protected by the Desert Antiquities Act, lol
The big unanswered question as in many of these explorations what were they mining? One more question what happened to the road?
Nice adventure, but I would strongly suggest being more aware of rattlesnakes. I have seen them in those barrels, under the tin, and in the shade of piles of lumber.
What was mined there ?
ALL stay safe thank you
9:50 Eek a Spy Balloon you better shoot it!

You sure someone didn't just set it there?
@@GratefulOverlander Naw.... probably just a 200 mph wind. lol
what where mining
If you going to be entering into portals, you need to have better lighting then that so you can see what's ahead of you at all times. On hot days it's not uncommon to run into a sleeping Mt. Lion
So how many men do you think operated this mine ? And do you ever take any ore samples ?
Very nice explore. I miss your pictures and nice music choices at the endings.
what State ?
Depression era or perhaps WWII era mine ? .... Gold ? silver, Lead ?

When I go out deep in the Mojave for some reason, I always see snakes. I hope you carry a PLB, ACR makes a very nice compact one for about $300.
He's using a zoleo.
Just a heads up, the zoleo can't be "pinged". Your best bet is to leave the follow me turned on and have that sent to friends or family. Every 30 mins is sufficient.
Amazing how these mining company’s can go into these pristine areas ,make a mess and not clean it up ,just walk away leaving all the rubbish ,
Where is this one Nevada or California?
I’m wanting to check out some in 29 palms area but they seem like they’re all inaccessible or most of em anyways

So, what did you learn? How about the rocks, the ore type, the geology...., any thoughts?
Great vid, but please get a real flashlight for exploring mines. Cheers
That was a engine not a air compressor
Great video, I do not think they found what they were looking for in that mine. Looks to me like plain old dirt.
Need close captioning for the hard of hearing, but otherwise nice video.
Why there? I always wondered why miners of those early days chose a spot. What did the know, look for, end up there... Crazy.
Lot of heavy breathing made me tired to watch !! 😅
You obviously don’t know much about snakes lol
18:13 bottomless coffee!!!! ☕️
That Delco battery is awesome. Not gonna lie, I would have taken that
why do ya carry that camera around......wouldn't a chest cam or head cam be better while trying to climb those hills??? just asking.
