 Good morning YouTube fans. We're freezing it's windy and it's cold and we're in Death Valley and we're at the wilderness boundary that's looking down into the valley we're kind of up high we're a few thousand feet above the valley that's why it's a little chilly we got all our gear here ready to go we drove as far as we could we're headed down this road that's behind Julie looking for a mine so you might get some wind noise it's really windy again the day and my windscreen already fell off what of you starting to warm up a little bit here's gangsta Julie there's telescope peak the old mining road still in pretty good shape looks like it's dropping down into a wash right now just ahead of Julie there there's a brick PCP maybe something I can't quite read it down the wash though starting to see a few things it can and some steel there's some corrugated steel on there I think I gotta go up this way there's an opening very low almost in the wash here it's a little strange see some timbering there's an old door smells like a mine okay so we just peeked into that last at it we didn't go in because I was looking for this urban I had seen research I couldn't figure out where it was looks like there's another opening there possibly another couple openings here I see some waste piles over this way so we have a few things to explore any good pretty nice big orb in oh Julie's already on to the artifacts here's a here's a drift pick a miner's drift pick see how thin it is and small made for clearing out small crevices versus a large pick like for digging holes and hard clay and stuff there's also a piece of chain there drive chain of some sort there's a bunch of track connectors there on the ground looks like a file file that should go with the pick I'll stuff up all right let's go check out this little opening there was an old wood box here of some sort there's another wood box here of some sort as you can the table bags of gold so this maybe is just a little storage room so these bags are looks to be cement which has hardened after it's gotten wet unless it's something else there's a table here within looks like it well can and a tobacco tin I see light back there all right let's go across the wash and the only find some more cans down here you know there's tobacco can back there there's some other old cans in here parts of some dynamite boxes in the rats nest the rats are used in the dynamite boxes let's see if we can see any of these cans ground chocolate bishop something that's a blue ship nothing it's a bark oh that's just a design sweet ground chocolate and cocoa so it's like it's like cocoa okay let's go back here's another door says keep out danger toxic fumes fairly new paint we better get our gas monitor on our gas detectors going through its checks here's the light all right let's see what we have in the toxic fume keep out zone see some boxes nature gift something other quick rules butter beans butter bean butter beans been in here do you want to go right or left who's doing the left hand rule looks like there was a rack for hanging things on with the nail sticking on over there box is some sort doesn't look like a dynamite box a little event looks like it's just ends right here well look at the vein here though it's a big quartz vein and you can see it just stopped right there that's why they stopped digging that's about three feet wide it's gonna look the other way I think these are just prospects butter bean box reminded me of butter bean the fighter he's a character in the mason jar with something interesting looking vein oh somebody's done a little surveying in there with the paint quartz vein like there are a little bit of copper remit related minerals in there let's go see what we find around here our gas meter didn't go off so I don't think there were any toxic fumes in there I wonder who painted that on that's fairly new maybe the park service trying to scare you out of here looks like a top-to-a-barrel that was bent into a shape for a shoot or something miners used what they had on hand to get the job done there's another small type of bin or hopper shaped like that I call those hoppers that's the inside of it not very big maybe four by six at the top definitely looks like a decent quartz vein around here this is the way file there are a couple more little openings here to our right this stuff is all on the waste pile all looks like quartz let's go in this one see we see this is more of an open cut isn't it right here anyway definitely open this up a little bit here's a box it looks like it says something I can't quite read it maybe Julie can read it was it wasn't frozen wasn't frozen for long out here another rats nest in a quartz vein similar to the last place we were in interesting vein though it's a fey tomato sauce interesting to go take a left appear if we can if it's not too steep well once again it's just a short working with an interesting quartz vein big hanging wall on the right here some old beer cans down there look like a steel Budweiser can because it's rusting looks like there was some sort of a meal here somebody's done a lot of crushing a lot of fine sitting right here a little opening back there here's an inclined shaft a little messed up there's a big breakthrough on the lagging of the lining of the shaft with a bunch of dirt hanging there and some boards and rocks you wouldn't want that to fall on you I don't know if you can see down the shaft there got my spotlight out here is the orb in there's a load of vein material right here sitting outside of the mine waiting for the mill this is the dump outside of that here's the orb in a little trestle going over to it attempt to go down that shaft it looks like there was a head frame on top of it and the lift pad hoist pad back here looks like fairly old stuff judging from the condition of the lumber this would have been an equipment mount probably for the for the incline which is right over there and then the the head frame is toppled over would have stood above the the end of the incline here and there's part of the chute that the skip would have dumped into whatever it was there somebody took it I think a lot of that stuff got reused might as well grab that kind of stuff or cars or especially the wheels because you can make a worker out of wood but especially the wheels things that had to be cast like that or the big sheave wheel they wouldn't take those and repurpose them the next mine it's like there's a little bit of everything in these greens up here that must be Micah although it's not layered like Micah usually is a neat little oil can Julie found Richfield Oil Corporation tip it up a little bit see it's a 30 weight huh there's some stools up there and a piece of glass wow thick glass you know what that's from you know it's a little stranger that's a little taller what do you see back there interesting was this down the shaft you think but this is down at the bottom of the shaft because this was in line with the shaft right what's that that's a big waterline coming up or in kind of me let's see if this is at the bottom of the shot I'm guessing it is possibly anyway I'm guessing this is the bottom of the shaft yeah it's gotta be good thing we didn't climb down the shaft that's definitely it you can see the skip rails there they're looks like a four by four with a strap on it and does something over here but it's extremely low I don't know if it's filled in so this quartz vein is still here it goes into a room but it's extremely low and I just think it stops there I stuck my head in there as best I could so this is the bottom of the skip track it was a strap three by four with a strap on it that's looking up the shaft it's pretty steep it's almost straight up and anything could let go of this at any time then the rail is all busted up on the right side it's just hanging there by the strap as you can see all right let's back out of here I'm a neat little stope room here isn't it it's a red rock again I'm assuming this was a gold mine with all the quartz and also the red definitely a lot of minerals in this area here we have another place we can look at all right we're back to this spot where we very first started this mine exploration at this colored door multi-color door yeah what the rats are brought some birds in the garden now oh yeah stay out of those things they really mess you up boy it's warm in here takes a sharp right it's a lover for something throttle linkage this is a red red rock vein again if we put the brakes on that's the end of it that's pretty nice door fairly modern hinges it doesn't move though I know that's the opening just came out of wasn't the biggest mine in the world but small mines need love too yeah still fun you never know what you're gonna find till you get out here and check it out so that's gonna do it for our video for today and we hope you guys enjoyed it and we will see you next time
