 okay we're making our way up this wash it's been a decent road so far the mine should be coming up a little while so we'll check back with you a little bit okay I'm part way down the shaft here I'm out with Julie we're in a vertical shaft I've come to a drift level about 75 feet down are you getting ready to come down okay double check your harness and everything okay she's gonna be coming down all right here comes Julie looks like there have been some birds using this doesn't it are you gonna go on that side all right you're not gonna go down some more I think yeah not too much for all right you made it to that side nice spider woman I thought you didn't want to come over this way you're not there's your shirt okay here we are we just got off rope and we're gonna check out this little drift here the first thing we see is some eggs that's weird I wonder what laid those look at all the poop what do you find in there I'm not going to see what kind of mineral vein they're looking at that looks like a hawk doesn't it look like it has talons right yeah there must be some kind of hawk short little pocket here yeah it doesn't look like they found much of what they were looking for checked it out and not much yeah I think this is a condensed milk can man you don't usually see them that shiny and this has 215 on it interesting yeah you can see how it's opened with a knife yeah five and 1915 yeah I would have seen it so and more eggs huh and another bird all more talons I don't know is that yeah looks a little better than it no maybe no this is a bird that died with eggs and it looks like oh what's my gas that little pocket let's go back to the shaft all right Tom's gonna go down to the next level yep plain okay I'll see you down there good yep I've got plenty of rope too yeah if you see this here I've got it so I can hang grab the rope once Tom is down there so I can hook up otherwise it's in the middle of the shaft and we can't grab it and I can't lean over anymore otherwise I'll be down there tumbling so as I was saying earlier they followed a narrow vein down here that was supposedly containing free gold but you can see this vein right here when we followed it down this was looking down I'm not sure if there's another level below me I see a lot of junk down there let's go lower this is about 150 foot shaft he's figuring he's gonna check out that level and see if it's worth for me coming down so I'm at the bottom of the shaft looks like there's a short drift going one way and maybe a little longer one going the other way do you want me to look around before you come down so this is what you see when you come off the come down to the bottom of the shaft there is another drift level here the shaft goes down about another 20 feet 25 feet looks like there's a mineral vein right in the center of the back of the mine here and probably a fissure contact zone on the right here where this smooth wall is and like I said earlier this was they were supposedly following a narrow quartz vein that had high grade um free gold in it so meaning you could actually see gold particles not completely having to be milled and before you saw anything there's a drill hole see this looks like kind of a quartz vein here there's a small pocket going to the left I'm not sure if they found what they were looking for straight ahead is the face another very large drift again and part of another egg first time I've seen eggs into mine and now I've seen about half a dozen or more I don't see any gold well looks like it's time to head back up the rope it'll be a long ways up not terrible about 100 feet there are a couple can tops now it looks like maybe it was an oil can in this small metal container there's a small sized shirt that's in here looks like it's inside out yeah it's got some colors on it well it's upside down I wonder who's that with me is it t-rex I guess t-rex all right so Tom's making his way up the shaft slowly jugging his way up this is about it that I can lean over without falling in yeah hard work this is character building all right Tom's just passing me by going up this shaft good luck coming up thank you you make our way through this smoke tree wash we conclude our video we hope you enjoyed it we did a little repel down the shaft and checked out a couple of drifts made it back safely so it's good we had a good day we hope you enjoyed it and thanks for watching the video
