Great video. The guys who worked at this mine were craftsmen compared to other ones I’ve seen in videos. The ore chutes, timbering, man-ways, etc., were super well constructed.
Among other things I am a retired Lode Miner and have worked in the area your exploring in so I'd advise that you get a Geiger Counter as there are many Radioactive Uranium and Cobalt Mines in that area, also Radon Gas accumulates in low parts of Mines and Dead Critters can indicate Radon, takes repeated exposure to do the most harm but long term and repeated exposure can kill or cause Cancer. You can get a cheap one for under $100 on like amazon or ebay. Dead Air takes only seconds to kill so the rats probably died from long term Radon Gas Exposure. If you don't have an Oxygen Monitor, in Mines that do not have flammable gas you can use a bic lighter to test Oxygen, normal flame good air, medium tall flame is low air and a long tall flame or no flame on a known good lighter is very little to no air and run fast the way you came in. Be Safe. I enjoy your Videos.
Love your channel. Way back when I was much younger, I explored ghost towns and mines all over very southern Arizona. Pretty much south of I-10, like Dragoon, Gleeson, etc. One issue was all the unmarked vertical openings that would be very easy to fall into if not paying attention. This was back in the mid 1980's (yeah I'm old). Loved those days of exploration. Hey, one thing that saved my joints and skin was light knee pads and elbow pads. Really saved my skin when needing to brace up against the rocks. Anyway, keep up the good stuff!
I love how your buddy saves himself with the left foot kick against the ribs of the mine at 41 25 ish,ninja style save,love the explore, would love to see that mine!
Recently stumbled across this channel and have been binge watching these exploration videos since! They're fascinating to me, but man I get the fear for you in some of these! Hats off to you I just couldn't 🤣
how much work they putted on the last big mine vvery nice! are this gold mines or? and how they bring asl the wood up there and in there very nice work
Awesome video sharpness. The tram towers were cool and so was that small sheave wheel. Bummer you didn't go down the winze. Big mine with so much to document and so little time. Great explore Jerith.
Another great explore Jerith and friends! Curious how many miles you walked and climbed in that 2 day explore. Can't wait to see where you go next! Keep you the adventures and as always, thanks for sharing with us.
That was kind of a weird edit. One second, you are crawling up the 430 manway, next second you are outside hiking back down. Was there nothing up there to film?
Nope not really there was another manway going up but it ended in a total collapse. Huge boulders blocking the way. I could have recorded but it was so dang hot I didn't feel like it.
“Oh! There’s the bull wheel for the tramway!” So… where’s the bull wheel for the tramway? I guess that one got past you. Old engine blocks are a dime a dozen. Bull wheels are gold.
Wow I must have fallen to sleep during the advertisement cuz when it went the ad you were climbing the man way then it broke back you were out of the mine did I miss something ugh

Thank You for lighter information
I’m not going in a mine but that’s just good to know how to read it
At 26:42, "Hodaka" was a popular dirt bike in the 1960's and 1970's.
This channel always has the best mines.
thanks for an amazing share of this really extensive mine
Wow! I explore a lot of mines and this was a good one.

Hi Jerith, a really cool trip, the mine itself was huge and just filled with so many ore chutes, wow.
Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤
You certainly do find some pretty amazing mines. Wish I lived out that way. Thank you so much for sharing. Your videos are awesome.👍
Watched the whole video. Very cool!
Left us hanging when you, climbed the ladders up that stope. But nice job thank you ALL stay safe
Yet another great video. Be safe and thanks for letting us tag along.
Wicked video fellas, look forward too the next one.
Cheers
how much work they putted on the last big mine vvery nice! are this gold mines or? and how they bring asl the wood up there and in there very nice work

Those trams must have really been a sight to see working for most folks
If I was around then I would have had to watch it working
Another great explore Jerith and friends! Curious how many miles you walked and climbed in that 2 day explore. Can't wait to see where you go next! Keep you the adventures and as always, thanks for sharing with us.
Awesome guys thanks it was a good explore
It was great. Thank you
Great landscape ✌️
Great video. Awesome mine
I cannot get over how crisp the footage looks in your videos. Maybe because there is no humidity/ maybe because you have such good equipment?
Likely both, the GoPro Hero 10 Black has definitely served me well! Thanks for watching.
Pretty cool trip. But.. can’t wait for the next one ;) should be pretty sweet
Great videos 👍
Awesome 😎👍🏻
Where did the typical dust covering everything go
Where did the miners stay ? Cook shack maybe ?
i love your videos
That’s a pretty nice man way and wood work plus looks only a few years old
Great timbering
My husband and I have enjoyed your channel. Do you know Gly from Abandoned and Forgotten Places?
Did the mine smell like Snark from BOXY ?

what did they mine
Do you ever run into any snakes or poisonous insects in these travels?
Yes the video before this one we came across two rattlers!

Looks like tram buckets

shit you make me feel good be safe
👏👏👍👍👊👊🙏🙏

Your friend should not be exploring mines with sneakers or wearing his sister’s shorts.
🤣🤣
