nice place, i love splunkin! ieven better when you find old blasting cap/dynamite boxes! the abandoned mines near socorro new mexico were so good to me! shovels, picks, wheel barrels, boxes, ORE BUCKET and a flat car to haul the bucket on! if no one collects this "junk", it is lost forever. it wasnt easy though, and very very very dangerous!!!!
The coolest thing I ever found in an abandoned mine in Arizona:
A cup used to melt gold in, with gold still on the edges. I also found a shovel and bag of gunpowder, also some sticks of dynamite. but the cup was sweet.
pretty brave. if that's what you guys feel is appropriate. jeez. wouldn't catch me "Dead" in there...... uh huh. not a fuckin' chance. extremely, and i mean, "extremely' dangerous business you two undertook, for the thrill. number of things that could have gone wrong. oh well...... great vid. I'll watch your exploits from 'right here' thank you...........Lol! be careful.
@jlund72 NO. If you get stuck down there or something collapses on you, you're in deep (pun intended) trouble even if you have a buddy topside. Not to mention in some mines there are toxic gas, lack of oxygen, or the lower levels are blocked or flooded. If you want to go that deep, you'll need full gear. Rappelling gear with a rope and a sturdy anchor, helmets, goggles, protective clothing, O2/gas sensors, radios, and a SCBA. And to be in great physical shape.
@locustsofsteel because they are very dangerous, and cave in very easy, plus, if there is old dynamite, how do you move it safely, old dynamite is VERY unstable, and a small vibration can set it off
@supadupasqwid Or bodies. Some mines were abandoned because of excess deaths and the remains may not always been retrieved especially if it's in the lower levels, or some serial killer used it a body dump site.
Dynamite is just nitroglycerin soaked into clay. When the sticks aren't turned, the nitroglycerin starts coming out of the clay. It drips down to the bottom of the box and pools; most of the old boxes are lined with waxed paper. That's that "Hercules" box that you didn't touch near the end. That's also called "crystallized dynamite". Anyway, impure nitro is one of the most unstable things there is. It'll go off if you give it a harsh look. Seriously -- any vibration, boom.
Sooo cool. please be careful though. That old dynamite was made with nytroglycerine if im correct. Thats the reason its so unstable. Esp if it sweats. Great video and thanks for sharing !
everyone that thinks the guys in this movie are stupid for going in there are assholes and can piss up a rope! this is awsome and you have no soul if you think otherwise! the is no such thing as an unstable mine that isnt droping shit on you at the entrance
Coal Mines in West Virginia are way different. Insead of a single shaft it is a wide shaft and it is grided. Like huge collums and its like that for a few miles.
I'd love to send an ROV with a video camera into a mine like that, lot's of fun without the risk, you could even send it into unstable mines with deadly gas! I live in Massachusetts though, other than Ruggles Mine in NH which you can walk in I don't think they're any abandoned tunnel mines within reasonable driving distance.
Great video guys!. I would love to have the opp. to do this. Big question which allways occurs to me though; What would you do if you came across a corpse? Suicide, someone who got lost, a murder victim etc. Report it anon? Hope that any traces leading to yourselves wouldn't be picked up on as you would inevitably become a suspect and be on police records etc. It's a quandry isn't it? Keep up the good work. Be safe.
@nzoomed There were a few sticks of dynamite lying around but we stayed away from it. The day before we found a full box in another mine. From what I understand the old dynamite is pretty unstable.
Wow! That would be scary to find that in a mine, im suprised they leave the stuff in these places when abandoned!
Ive explored alot of mines here in New Zealand, and a friend of mine found some gelignite once, he said it was falling apart and was very soft.
With dynamite, it can sweat with age, and you can see the nitroglycerin seep out of the sticks, if they look solid and dry, then your probably safe, but its very dangerous with age and more sensitive to shock if dropped.
@ciagon yes when dynamite lays around for a long period of time is will sweat and when gunpowder sweats the sweat is nitroglycerin which can explode if dropped, shook, or squeezed to hard so its very smart that you stayed away from it
@ciagon Dynamite is basically nitro glycerin mixed with sawdust to stabilize it, when it gets old it tends to sweat it out underneath it so the sticks wind up sitting in pools of pure nitro. They are EXTREMELY unstable and dangerous, even loud noises can set them off!
That being said awesome video! It wasn't worth risking your life for though.
@ciagon Awesome. If the sticks that you sore are around one inch, it is probably ( N.G. nitro-glycerine). Due to the fact that N.G. works best at one inch. I know in these westie movies, the (nitro-glycerine) is real dangerous stuff, Eg when it starts sweating excreta excreta, bla bla bla. But with a chemical formula like ,C3H5N3O9, melting point13.5 °C, boiling point, decomposes at 50-60 °C, molecular mass227.09 g/mol, density1.5918 g/mL, it isn’t to bad.
@ciagon What ever you do dont touch the dynamite sticks or the dynamite case. After years not being used, liquid will pour out of its case and will become very unstable. Many people have been killed because they wanted to pick up the box and it blew them up.
@nzoomed Dynamite can sometimes be unstable, however, it would be fun to have an old stick of dynamite from the past (Not sure its entirely legal, though :) )
the one thing I've learned about dynamite is that the older it is, the more sensitive and ornery it becomes. Just like old people !! Seriously though, for those of you who mentioned taking some home, the only advice I could give is DONT... Don't move it, pick it up, or throw rocks at it.. With cases of dynamite that old strewn about the mine, I wouldn't even friggin sneeze...
Mines are only dangerious if your that ADD kid that runs in eyes shut
Mines can be fun , a lot of history and things to discover, and always play it smart, The mine will not cave in, seriously, unless you blow up some dynamite, or take a pickaxe to the supports, its fine.
Me and my uncle explored a mine in atlin, bc and did it with with a very experienced outdoors-man who had been there and checked if it was safe a couple days earlier, we didnt go into the shafts at all but we saw and went inside the smelting plant and where they used to use the cyanide to strip the gold from the ore. it was all really interesting to me, as your video is.
Ok, Where are your emergency satellite phone, extra torch and batteries??
A fool only foes into a 59 year old mine that was probably decommissioned due to either excessive mine deaths or seriously unstable rock.
If you probably climbed down that other mine shaft deep inside, you'd find an amazing network of tunnels and probably more shafts that go 500 ft deeper at a time.
@MrLittlegate No satellite phone, but we had a third person outside the mine and we had plenty of spare batteries with us and an O2 sensor. Should have brough hard hats. You are right about the lower levels - I bet there are tons of cool things down there.
@MrLittlegate There is always the risk of danger when doing these kind of adventures, but if it were me, I'd walk around all day in there. Being in there is no less insignificant than if a kitty cat was running around in there for 3 hours, and comes back out. The mine "doesn't know" you're there. If it's sitting as-is today, there is probably a 99.999% chance it's going to be the same the next day. If a cave-in is going to happen, it would be like chances of winning a small lottery.
@rightsideofhistory Agreed and I personally couldn't hold the temptation of not going in there and exploring - finding anything left by miners and such. And a cave-in is, as you said, pretty unlikely and something that tends to regularly happen in movies.
@finddestiny People forget the scale of the mine. We're humans, so we think of everything in terms of our size. But a mine shaft is small - like a garden hose sized void going through something solid the size of a shopping mall. To think the walls are just dying to push-in and reclaim the space, is well...wrong. For the decade(s) the mine was open, with all the blasting, banging, 1000 people, the risk of somebody dying was 10000X more likely than just 2 guys walking around silent pathways.
Very cool stuff. I cringed when you stepped onto that wood platform by the work table. That...I would not have done. You need to be more careful than that in these old mines.
well I guess a desert mine is safer than a non desert mine? the supports probably held up better and you don't have to worry about gas build up as much. That was still really creepy, I would of been too afraid to go in there!
wow the work that went into those mines is crazy i got a new respect for the people that used to work in mines back in those days. you had to have balls to work in there.
no this was the best yeah its dangerous but its the adventuorous mind and i love it i wish i knew these guys so they could take me with them
and if u guy make fun of my spelling yeah go ahead i know i dont know how to spell perfect so wtf ever lol but i love theses guy cuz im major explorer like them
lol i just watched this vid that said not to do anything theses guys just did but the vid was good and it wasnt me down there so hats off to u guys great vid
Helmets and decent head lamps! Dont be put off by the risk adverse, just focus on the environment. DO NOT mark your route with paint, chalk or anything alien to the environment. Use small piles of stones as you find them or map the place out as you go, noting points of interest, then publish your survey.
The boards were old but not rotten as I remember. It is a pretty dry desert out there. I stay far away from wet or rotting wood inside mines which is pretty common up in WA.
@ciagon That was a really cool video to see thank you for sharing and risking yer asses down there lol I woulda been the utra paranoid guy that was ready to turn back the whole time lol anyways man you and your friend be careful out there on those kind of adventures shits dangerous but you seem to be aware of that take care guys....
Great looking mine. Very good quality. Looks like the supports are all in great shape. Reminds me of Gold Hill and many of the mines in Southern Utha. Where about is this mine?

Helmets and decent head lamps! Dont be put off by the risk adverse, just focus on the environment. DO NOT mark your route with paint, chalk or anything alien to the environment. Use small piles of stones as you find them or map the place out as you go, noting points of interest, then publish your survey.

The boards were old but not rotten as I remember. It is a pretty dry desert out there. I stay far away from wet or rotting wood inside mines which is pretty common up in WA.

Great looking mine. Very good quality. Looks like the supports are all in great shape. Reminds me of Gold Hill and many of the mines in Southern Utha. Where about is this mine?
