 All right, we are at a level number three watch that piece of ladder they're doing your next step is going to be on a Poorly fastened ladder. You can use it a little bit. Just make sure you're not working Okay, I would hang on to the rungs Yeah, that's a bad ladder Yeah, you don't want to fall down this one This is looking on the shaft it gets a little steeper and Yeah everything's still going though the ladders are still going and Skip tracks still going so we'll try and see if we can get down there later after we check out this level It's looking back up Long ways up there Okay, this is the 300 level or level three There's a gallon can of high efficiency thinner for lacker You might even use it for something else There's a fairly substantial electric motor and water pump here It looks like it's drawing from down below and sending it back up if I'm reading them piping correctly and the motor says What? You able to read it? No, just a bunch of numbers. I'll take a closer picture. Look at there's a tag on it So that's the tags gone like a service tag anyway It's a good-sized pump That's looking back at the chef. We took some of our gear off. There's a couple big valves there And there's a can or a box full of some stuff here some cans. They don't look to be real old Some other parts and this and that Paper Here's a Giant dynamite box oil well sand sample bags Hubco Oh, yeah, here's a nice Union oil Union 76 You know our company of California nice color in that one Beautiful five gallon buckets. All right, let's go explore this level. I might sound a little different. I got a mask on now It's really dusty There's a shovel flat shovel Well used. Yeah, it looks well used It's like a little life in it. Okay, we come up to a intersection This is a metal turning plate for the ore cars you just turn them on this Plate it with Lou of a switch So this goes over a long bridge looks pretty sturdy though Julie made it this is looking up from here a lot of stuff wedged up in there That mud is dried mud is crunchy in it. Here's a guy doing something I got a woman Looks like maybe a woman Big shoot This goes quite a ways Yeah, I believe this was started into the early 1900s like seven or eight and Was worked primarily up until 40 When it was stopped a lot of bridges in this mine Some people say false floor, but I don't use that term. I don't believe in it It's not a false floor It's a real floor Digging over something No, there's an old wrapped water or airline Why are wrapped boy, they heavy just that one piece weighs about oh, I don't know almost 10 pounds. Oh, there was a Yeah, there was a a Hoist here somehow This little alcove must have housed a hoist. Yes. You hear the timbers down there to mount it In the burlap sack I'm sorry Here was a trap door below this little head frame Would have been a sheath wheel up there and in this trap door would have opened to allow the Skip bucket or whatever they had to come up and dump into the oracle which would be on the tracks where I am All right, let's keep going. Oh Here's a timber car Look at that. Yeah That's a nice find it's off the tracks though well, here's a little Timber and There's a little a little mine car made for hauling stuff It's got the It's got the four posts on it like a steak bed How she roll? Rolls pretty nice on this little stiff Okay, let's take it right. I See an oracle wheel up there right there You don't see too many nose laying around There's people always steal This is going back the way we came Here's this guy again this That's the guy they've been crossing out I don't think they like him Okay, let's keep going The big mine Another intersection This ends right there This is gonna end right there All right Okay, we're back to the little Timber car Let's go this way. Here's a bottle of clear wax glass cleaner easy something new improved formula Oh, there's your uh All right, let's keep going. I tried and can't wouldn't clean up at all. So Couldn't get a look at the back of it really This uh mine has been wet and everything's kind of glued glued on there The dust has turned into Something special that doesn't want to come off of everything. I can't read that Eric Erickson I don't know too close to read it There's a ladder laying here All right, there's an old chili can chili chili chili con carne with beans Meat with beans right con carne is with the meat, right? Yeah Is it got a brand on it? No Maybe it's generic. It looks Yeah, it does All right Something's going on here Okay, let's finish this straight down the tracks off Okay, look at this smooth all here There's a bunch of rail Okay Removed and never reused Mounts laying there just rusting Small alcohol to love Here's a conny of bats I'm trying not to get too bright on them Looks like it ends right up here. Yeah All right, let's leave the bats alone This is all going on over down here Take that and put it in your garden Okay, we're backtracking now Well the bats will woke up now. We should have done something Here's a um You know fuel ball Yeah, we woke them up More bats down that way We'll leave them down there They're cooling me off as they go by and they get a little wind on me Notice Stule is not out in the front anymore She's using me as a blocker Well, I think I know what this is This was a shaft That we saw from the outside I'm not a hundred percent sure but I think That this was a shaft that we saw from the outside And we looked at it And it looked like the lining had given way And the ladders had fallen away and this is what the This is the end result of all that Okay, we're back to this head frame Where there was a hoist somehow rigged up Oh Bents with a Looks like a hand forged hoop on it On the bridge That goes a long ways down Where Julie went? She left I guess with the bats Dig another shovel Ready to go to work Julie? Well a steel handled one That'd be heavy Is it heavy? Yeah I wonder where that goes A bunch of fuel cans and ventilation tubing Let's go this way There's some fuse There's a trap door looks like Or a door anyway Explosives room Explosives Dare I open it? That's nice Very small little room in here Not much to it All right, we're back to this area where the pump is we're done with that level That was a big level, but we made it We had a little funny experience just a second ago I passed a little gas and my uh All of a sudden my air monitor went off Attention carbon monoxide The siren went off and Well it works anyway Well we're down another I don't know how far it's pretty straight up Here's Julie hanging there We're up down to another level And she's gonna get off the rope If you don't go down any lower now We're taught down here Yeah, there's not as much air going down here So here's the big hatch door You can see where the cable had run through that notch right there Maybe And it's hooked up to one of those hoops that we saw earlier the handforged hoop And it's pretty straight up This is not for your beginning mine explorer So right here is a really cool wood Folgers Golden gate tees Let's see one pound tins Yeah one pound tins 72 one pound tins and here it is Right way This is a signboard on the level of the mine I'm not sure if it explains like Something that they're trying to Accomplish or just a poster board There's a big gate valve there The two inch I think it's a two inch All right, there's a box of stuff Well here's a big axe handle or a pick handle More likely I'm not even broken There's another valve laying there Taster's choice. Yeah, Taster's choice Oh look at the barrel That is cool We always like we always like to see barrels an old wooden barrel the coopers That they're spoke shaves or they're Whatever made those Barrels and Julie's got herself a saw she's going to start cutting some timber joints Um looks like it was a water barrel. There are a couple What you call cans in there Prince Albert looks like The Prince Albert? Yeah, that's Prince Albert. How about the other one? Got it? Stretch your arm That's another Prince Albert Hard to say hard to see if it looks red. Yeah, it does That's quite a few cans and here's another orange ore car and this one's full of ore This one we're not going to be able to demonstrate the dumping action but Boy, I'd like to push that when it's full like that. Thank you. All right. Now look at this you guys Huh? There's your old steel spoked wheelbarrow That's pretty cool That is neat you don't see those every day, do you? Hey, there's one of those um numbered Location tags that we saw the other day up on the other mine That's kind of anyone see the island on the bottom Number two Okay, all right, let's take a right. See what happens. I see a door here. It must be an explosives room Oh, there's another shovel Wood handle that's one of those flat Flat round as if round shovel but there's such a flat um profile to it Let me do all the hardware bend over and stuff. There's another explosives room Just a very small room uh Thermalite connectors So that's for fuse 1000 Danger caps Yes, there are some fuse caps up in there, aren't there? Oh, yeah, there's a bunch of caps on the ground here. Look at that Really, they're already rigged this Part of the stick of dynamite looks like Yeah, that is All right, we'll leave that area alone Well, I could sit and look at this little area all day long with this wheelbarrow and the old ore car And the wooden barrel that is just really nice and a chute right above it But we've got more mine to explore so let's move on. Maybe we'll find more cool stuff Definitely gets wet down here. This is all dried mud Some cans and some ventilation Pipe Now is this crunchy Two pieces of drill bit. This is a ladder going up into a small stove. That's a chisel style a bit Looks like a carbide And this is a knockoff tip here moving on intersection It goes to the right Looks like maybe a dynamite box back here Maybe cardboard watch out. There might be dynamite in it. Yes, there is a bunch of dynamite and this is the end of this little side cut and Yeah, they really don't want to mess with that to you. We can't read that box Anyway, they're kind of swelled up and kind of sweaty looking so let's Let's leave them alone. Well, look at this old heavy ladder Oh, it's broken that's straight up. Okay back on the tracks big valve bunch of parts down here Looks like somebody dumped the box of parts all that on purpose Look at the hole pattern here, man How many holes did they drill? Like more than 20? There's some more ladders going up and do stove of course Really neat mine, isn't it? Yeah Here's another drill bit That's not a knockoff bit like the last one was And here's a big collector for this chute On the bridge, it's always going across the bridge Well, that goes quite a ways down into that stove Something blue up here Oh, look at the big windlass Look at that big windlass a double a double cranker. That's a big one. Yeah Wood. Yep So this windlass is about a at least a six footer I'm like seven or eight And it had rope It was a rope Rope that they were winding with Now I didn't see a The spot back here to this This is the closest drop near to that thing So there must have been There must have been a support for it around here somewhere That's a two-man windlass too So if they were winching stuff up from here, maybe they weren't uh Maybe there's not a lower level that has an outlet of some flirt Okay, let's continue moving down the drift that windlass was cool That's one of the bigger ones we've seen longer Here's an air hose it looks like Another big chute Big double chute The track is Got a junction here Takes a hard ride Well, let's look at this while we're here or is that going that way too? Oh, okay So the tracks take a hard ride here And I'm guessing that they stopped right here and there was a chute But it's all been collapsed in now And this is straight ahead This is just a short These two it's got some pipe in there and that's it a couple timbers Oh, there's a map Okay, that's the way we came from I'll go this way There's another carbide can pretty nice carbide cans in here I think Yeah Anyone doesn't quite have the color You think in it? No That's it, right? That's it Is that the full bottom level? Here's A date from 10, 18, 19, 37 There's a velvet can That's too bright That's kind of neat nothing on the other side is there? It was laying that it was laying that side down Well, there's water down at the bottom of the shaft So we've done as much as we can do in this mine Down and I was standing on a saw Two saws This is ladder cam straight up Here goes Julie up the ladder Try to get a little ladder cam here One way is up One way is down too Look at that ladder Julie's hanging on it doesn't even have an end on it Watch that board that just ropes around If it doesn't come down It's a messy shaft It rocks right here ready to fall Okay, I'll jump We're going straight up this messy shaft Hoping something doesn't come loose on me Here he comes out from the depths of the mine It's not easy Nice Good job That took a couple years off my mind Next in Well, we don't find them like that very often We hope you guys enjoyed the video Thanks for watching and we'll see you on our next adventure
