I just explored one of Virginia City's most dangerous abandoned mines and discovered why $17 MILLION in gold was left behind. What we found underground will change how you think about Nevada's mining history.
In this video, I take you deep into the New Savage Mine beneath Virginia City, Nevada. You'll see flooded shafts, original 1980s equipment still underwater, and learn the geological reasons why old-timers missed massive gold deposits. This is real mine exploration with a geologist's perspective.
