Our Biggest Mine Exploring Project - Exploring The Union Mine (Feat. TVR Exploring)
This was our fourth trip out to the Union Mine, and it may very well be our last. This complex has kept us busy over the past few years, but we think we've finally been defeated. Please enjoy our final attempts to continue further into this enormous underground mine from the 1800s. Our first objective is to reach the 500 Level with hopes of continuing on to the 600 and so on. This is easier said than done, and we quickly find no shortage of bad ground in the 500 Level.
Before we continue, make sure to check out Justin's (TVR Exploring) video here: ruclips.net/video/HYRBJk9FHHQ/видео.html
The 500 Level contains one of our most remarkable discoveries to date - a mule stable from the 1800s. B...

Solo Adventure to a Remote Mine Perched on a Cliff
Просмотров 44 тыс.6 месяцев назад
This mine has been on my radar for a long time and I was excited to finally check it out. I completed my trip solo, which is always an interesting experience, especially in a very remote part of the U.S. A steep hike through a rough wash brought me to the base of the mine's waste dump. One final scramble up the scree got me to the mine. The mine workings are perched high up on a cliff with an a...

The final installment of the Lexington Mine series! Please go watch the other five videos on this mine if you haven't already! In the final part of this epic adventure, we delve into the deepest reaches of the mine, finding a few more unexplored levels. This mine reminds me of how mines are sometimes portrayed in movies and video games; roller-coaster-like features, cavernous rooms, and colorfu...
Following a Bat Through an Abandoned Mine
Просмотров 2 тыс.7 месяцев назад
There's always something interesting about an abandoned mine, even if it is almost entirely featureless. While this one was not loaded with old artifacts or equipment, I instead found a winged inhabitant who led me through the entire mine. I wasn't expecting this mine to be extensive at all. The waste dump appeared to indicate about 1,000 ft. of workings, but the mine was much longer. Recent ev...
Weird Stuff in An Abandoned Mine
Просмотров 32 тыс.8 месяцев назад
This neat mine surprised us with quite a bit. I never expected to find a vehicle chassis inside of a mine, but I suppose I've seen weirder things... They were most likely using the vehicle engine for either an electric generator or for a compressor. While this small mine is relatively easy to access, it seems to have been mostly untouched by collectors and vandals. This site was littered with e...

Check Out Parts 1-4: ruclips.net/p/PLATGxGagpMEBKe2iyikxWlyAjDFJLeBNm After running out of the time during the last trip, we returned to the great Lexington Mine to continue our exploration. This became one of my favorite mines after finding it to be virtually untouched by other explorers. In order to get deeper into this mine, we had to first descend a death-trap winze with rubble balancing pr...
Exploring an 1800's Silver Mine from Top to Bottom
Просмотров 24 тыс.9 месяцев назад
The Santiago Mine was discovered in the 1860's and was mined continuously for over 50 years. Silver was the main commodity mined here. Over the years, several mills were constructed to support the mining operations, each larger than the one before. After decades of constant activity, the mine's rich ore bodies were depleted, and the Santiago Mine was abandoned. The mine ended with 20-25 miles o...
The Most Unsafe Abandoned Mine I Have Ever Explored
Просмотров 13 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Welcome to the most crumbly, slab-filled, death-trap abandoned mine that I have ever explored. 'Bad ground' is a severe understatement. Nearly every branch in this mine leads to a catastrophic collapse. Thankfully, we made it in and out unscathed, but it was not a pleasant place to spend an afternoon. This mine reportedly contained eight miles of underground workings and 10 levels. Unsurprising...
California's Desolate Copper Mines
Просмотров 4,2 тыс.10 месяцев назад
In Southern California, you can throw a stick in any direction and it will lead you to an abandoned mine. This adventure was a little more calculated, but we really didn't know what to expect with this one. Waste rock piles dot the upper reaches of the hills in this area. There are too many adits to count. While some were boring prospects, others held interesting bits of history almost lost to ...
Hiking Through a Beautiful Forest to Explore a Nasty Hell Hole

Hi all - sorry for my long hiatus. It’s been a busy summer as usual. I promise there is a lot of good stuff to come. We’re actively working on some new ‘project’ mines that will hopefully turn up some interesting stuff. This mine is located deep in the forested wilderness of the Washington Cascade mountains. It’s about a six-mile hike to reach the mine. I found it ironic how beautiful this area...

The Most Remote Abandoned Mine...Done in One Day

Not once in my mine exploring career have I attempted or completed a trip as challenging as this mine. The Perseverance Mine had been on my list for years, but I continued to push it off until next year because I dreaded the inevitable suffering that I expected this trip to induce. In order to complete this in one day, hours of recon and planning were completed prior to the day of the trip. Our...
