Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places | An Underground Adventure in the Hidden Treasure Mine @AbandonedMines11 | Uploaded March 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Hidden treasures? This abandoned mine certainly had its fair share of them that Justin and I found while exploring and documenting it. The Hidden Treasure Mine was first dug in the early 1900s and was mined for gold, silver, and silica. According to old mining reports, it was last worked in the 1970s but might've been worked later than that. Several vertical shafts are onsite that intersect with more modern, downward-sloping tunnels. We entered one of the large, modern portals that continually sloped down into the mine's depths. Along the way we found ore chutes, looked into gaping stopes, examined an empty bag of blasting agent, peered over the edge of a 975-foot vertical shaft, climbed over collapses, discovered a large ventilation fan, and much more. It was quite an adventure and exploration! I hope you enjoy the video!
