Once In A Lifetime Find In This 1800s Gold Mine ⛏️ part 2

what a view good morning mine fans good morning. Tom and Julie here bright and early we're going to attempt today to go down the shaft that's in the mine which was in last week's video so we need to rope up to do that let's enjoy a little bit of the view here before we go underground for today all right let's go we got a little ways to go up this way not very far though we are back in the Hoist room of the mine we were in on our most recent video last week and we're going to go down the shaft wh

ich is right here you guys want to know what's down there and so do we so Tom's gonna rope down and check it out hopefully they've got everything set right you want to stand back over here once I've got a safety all right let's do it okay good luck be careful it's a leap of faith every time you do this because it's certain death if everything fails all right we'll see you later okay it's gonna be a long way back up it's a long jug up it will be wow right here okay so it looks like a level right

there so we'll check back with him in a minute okay so Tom's down about 80 feet he says so there's some really cool stuff down there so I'm gonna Gear Up and climb down there and uh we'll meet up down there okay I'm down here on a level Julie's on her way down I can't really get out there because of the debris field she's throwing down on me I don't see her yet there she is oh boy huh what have we you got, what have we got ourselves into now. It's a long way down all kinds of excitement you got

to go down a little lower you can't get in here though step on the rail behind you yeah you gotta go a little further there you go try not to step on that there's a little ore car right here yeah I know just back straight up I was trying not to muck up the lower car because that's its natural state there, there's a lot of debris that has fallen down the shaft on it but see the little flat car oh neat oh cool okay so we are about 80 feet down in fact while I'm looking at this thing I'm gonna move

it because we might go down lower the shaft continues down at a fairly sharp angle like uh 75 degrees or more so the tracks ended out there they would have dumped into a skip car they must have removed all the infrastructure for the skip track because remember there's that big hoist room above us and there had to be some skip track down here I don't know why they take it out sometimes to reuse it I guess but anyway we're here look at this cool little whoops oh I don't want to wreck that can eit

her this cool little flat car and the wheels are still there it looks like it's metal a metal bed on it and oh see here it's got this hoop for probably they probably had a shaft bucket maybe that would sit in that hoop now you can see on there there's a handle oh there's a hammer that's broken like a two or three Pound Hammer okay then there's a couple of chisels there or drill bits yes oh yeah you're trying to look down so different size bits and then I wonder if we should dump this stuff off t

hat car you think it would make a lot of dust wouldn't it yeah we like to see it roll a little bit though well we could roll this out without dumping the stuff true we just have to move this let's clear this there's a nice can here too it's still got some writing on it I wanted to see um I wanted to see if we could read it because I see those cans but I I never get to oh my God look at this look at it's a Miner's headlamp oh my God look at that oh man you don't find those very often do you that

is so cool it still looks is it is that the reflector too or is that that's missing the reflector isn't it that is so cool so this is made in USA auto light Universal lamp company this is the cap for the water this is the adjuster for how much water drips in there the more you drip the more acetylene it makes it says on right here in the carbide calcium carbide would be in the bottom part there and then the the uh I think this igniter right it's like a little lighter like a Zippo lighter and the

n these are that's your little jet that is way too cool that's just sitting right here it's barely even dirty I know okay well that was pretty cool I was just moving this stuff to try and roll that that uh car a little bit just gently so it doesn't get a bunch of dust here I don't see any more interesting stuff in there well you never know what you're gonna find around here there this thing will roll just a little bit if we could okay foreign there it goes that hasn't rolled for a while has it n

o first roll in a lot probably I'm gonna see if it still goes just right oh don't don't roll over your rope though you cut your rope and we'll go flying down the shaft yeah okay there's this can here now we've seen these before but I've never seen them with a label on it so Julie's going to carefully pick it up because there is a label on this side there might be one on the other side too oh cool what is that is that like a head frame I know it's it's in like Asian print Tea Garden oh and it's l

ike a oh it's like a trellis yeah what do you call that like a shade that is cool I never knew that was tea Tea Garden brands Pacific Coast syrup yeah so Pacific Coast syrup company San Francisco Los Angeles Seattle and Portland oh wow we've seen those cans before I remember the fluted top because this is made to fit like a um you know it's not threaded it's made to fit like a cork all right yeah stopper that is cool well we're not even 10 feet into the level and it's already been pretty cool it

's a neat little flat car in them and I'm pretty sure that that round thing would have fit a shaft bucket I mean maybe that explains too why there's not a big skip track here maybe they just used a bucket but that seems like a lot of Excavating just for a bucket even this this shaft let's move into the drift a little more see what happens there's another can here there's also some fabric but it's pretty well shot this thing over here there are no mice in this level it's they must not be able to

come down that vertical shaft because I haven't seen any mice or rats I mean I haven't seen any rat poop the vein here there's some colors here the tracks are here there's a swab bucket the stick is still in there there's a little bit of a cave here so there's a fuel Can what's that other little can below you there too nothing nothing well something yes something there's a little bit of a side cut here not much though some rail I wonder where this rail came from why it's here nothing on the fuel

can, a lot of times that's kerosene ouch boy those are sharp rocks I guess I should have my knee pads on a little uh stemming stick or tamping if you like for stuffing your dynamite in the holes now there was a ladder apparently it gets a little moisture in some of these spots huh this is just a very small stull and there's the vein up there can you see the drill holes where they were drilling straight up with their stoper drills beautiful vein in this mine a couple little stulls here oh anothe

r fuel can with a Rope on it is that a plastic cap tin you can't tell until you unless you find the tops the tops will say uh cap company here's another working platform on a couple of stulls this one goes a little higher up doesn't it look I felt some fabric on anything burlap two burlap sacks see look at you don't see any rat poop on any of this stuff and this is another very small stope and the Beautiful vein there's the face of this little drift well that's a small level yeah I guess this be

ing pinched down huh yeah okay let's go back track well look at this flat wall here this hanging wall you can see where it's been scraping together over the eons made the fault gouge well for a small level it gave us some pretty good artifacts and oh there's another drill bit good find or that's a that's a hand, oh that's a little scaling bar, well the way it's curved or not but that's pretty cool a curved pick a chisel you never know what you're going to find in here this debris it looks like i

t just stops right there oh there's a box or something back there wood is that just a chunk of wood it's a dynamite box oh my God this can't be no kidding. Is it all there? It's a full Dynamite box wow look the bottom and everything look it's not even dirty because it's there's no air blowing around in here wow I'll bet you that looks like it has a head had oil in it I'll bet you that was used up in that hoist room that's the end that was up apparently huh because of the Dust okay can you turn i

t there's the side I'm looking for 50 pounds I can't read it this is the end where it explains what this is it says 50 pounds Dupont explosive dupont label in the middle explosive DuPont high velocity what's it I can't 40 strength oh gelatin 40 strength November 15th 1944. 1944. see that that box must have been used up in the see how oily it is yeah that box must have been used up in the um hoist room for parts in that that's pretty awesome that's pretty awesome right okay we're back to this are

a now the question is do we want to go down further we're both kind of dinged up we're already 80 feet down and that's looking further down it's pretty steep there are a couple of footholds but what do you think should I try to go further down oh my God I can hear you guys all seeing yes from behind your phones and computers all right let's try it okay Tom has roped back up and he's gonna go down and check out and see if there's another level below us because inquiring minds want to know well I

hope this is a good idea we're going to do most of 200 feet down you know I think the hardest part is getting out there well I don't want to jump out here no all right here's leap of faith right there watch out okay here he goes yep all right we'll see you later okay be careful if you come down and double check all your stuff okay yeah well look at that I'm at the very end of my rope I didn't even have a foot extra I'm 200 feet down that's looking back up there's not a level down here if there w

as it's cave now it might have gone that way but it doesn't anymore here's a dead fox so there's the dead fox I see bugs falling on it so it's not that terribly old and if this ever was a level well that thing stinks if this ever was a level it's not now I'm guessing it might have been but it's not right now you can't get through that that's definitely a fox but he stinks let's see what's up here I guess they were just following this name man I'm gonna be whooped when I get out of here let's see

what's over here I can't even make it up this hill wow there is nothing here either they took a pretty big chunk down here though all this this is a big hanging wall behind me huh wow what a trip some of the things I do this is the other side that's not where that fox is it's really steep right here you don't realize it we can barely make it up there well I guess I might as well start the truck up good thing we found some things on that first level that was pretty cool wasn't it okay hard to se

e but there's Tom making his way up slowly but surely okay I'm working my way up the shaft I'm standing on a small ledge here this is looking back down a little bit of loose debris coming down but not too bad this is looking up I'm about halfway to Julie from the bottom which was about 120 feet it's about 80 feet up from the top where she is and it's about 120 to the very bottom because this is a 200 foot rope and we're at the very end of it so that's the story hi there I'm tired I know you are

you just about got er to my level anyway then you can have a little rest he's just about got it he tips over okay made it just about well that rope so heavy hanging below me that I can't get up yeah that's tough it is Julie's gonna head on up while I rest up for a minute here don't go swinging out there like Tarzan Jane though and I'll try to keep your balance all right be careful all right all right if you hear something starting to fall duck okay tuck your head down don't let your left little

finger get a blister because it rubs on the Rope there with your half gloves okay Julie the mine Explorer, who's idea was this anyway? you know who it was you know whose it was it's always your idea let's go down that shaft maybe there's something cool down there, well there was this time yeah it's still here too this stuff right here Miner's headlamp a cool can a hammer and three chisels and of course the little flat ore car all right I'm not going to lean over anymore since I'm off rope here a

nd I don't want to go back to the bottom so we'll see you later see ya Tom's making it up the home stretch yeah it's easier without my heavy pack on yeah I pulled up the back I pulled it back up which was heavy It'll Make a Man Out of You or in your case a stronger woman. I think I can rest good no no not quite no you about got it anyway here he is almost we're just noting how rotten it is underneath this yeah this is all around yeah oh I forgot about that little detail yeah I did the same thing

, you made it! well we're packing up our gear from our explorationn of this 200 foot deep shaft with only one level about 80 feet down I was noticing the fuel line here at least what appears to be a fuel line to me and then I got to looking up because I thought if there's a fuel line there must be an exhaust and sure enough that looks like an exhaust of some sort and it looks like some uh light tin with asbestos behind it in fact there's part of a fuel can over there lining this top of this hois

t room so this must have been a an exhaust pipe of some sort I don't know where it goes but and then over here I noticed an antique roll of tape look at that it's not sticky anymore but that's an old roll of tape I forgot to look at the Candlestick pick marks in the uh in the side on the beam here see this is all wax they would stick their pick in there for a little light that kind of tells you the age of the mine if they were still using candles. hello little lizard look at this color of the sa

nd aren't you are you gonna scoot off there he goes well we're loading up the Jeep after another fun Explorer we finished that mine off there is another shaft there but I don't think either one of us have enough energy to go down today after jugging up that 200 footer so that's gonna be a wrap for today. Thanks for watching the video today you guys, we hope you enjoyed it and we will see you on our next adventure. all right sounds good let's get out of here it's Miller time except for not we're

not drinking Miller yeah
