Access Blocked For Decades – Fire Made It Accessible Again: Part 1 of 2

Gold ore was discovered at this site in the late 1800s and, in the early 1900s, tens of thousands of ounces of gold and silver were successfully extracted... Stamp mills and cyanidation plants were present to separate the gold from the rock. Although gold and silver were the primary focus, small amounts of tungsten, lead and copper were also produced. The skies really opened up on us when we were hiking back from this mine and we returned to our vehicle absolutely soaked through. ***** You can see the full TVR Exploring playlist of abandoned mines here: https://goo.gl/TEKq9L You can see the gear that I use for mine exploring here: https://bit.ly/2wqcBDD and here: https://bit.ly/2p6Jip6 Several kind viewers have asked about donating to help cover some of the many expenses associated with exploring these abandoned mines. Inspired by their generosity, I set up a Patreon account. So, if anyone would care to chip in, I’m under TVR Exploring on Patreon. Thanks for watching! ***** Growing up in California’s “Gold Rush Country” made it easy to take all of the history around us for granted. However, abandoned mine sites have a lot working against them – nature, vandals, scrappers and various government agencies… The old prospectors and miners that used to roam our lonely mountains and toil away deep underground are disappearing quickly as well. These losses finally caught our attention and we felt compelled to make an effort to document as many of the ghost towns and abandoned mines that we could before that colorful niche of our history is gone forever. I hope you’ll join us on these adventures! #ExploringAbandonedMines #MineExploring #AbandonedMines #UndergroundMineExploring
