Old timers left behind far more gold than most people realize — and I’m standing right on top of it.
In this video, I explore a massive abandoned gold mine hidden deep in the mountains, following the geological trend that connects multiple historic workings. This mine produced gold, silver, and copper, and it still shows clear signs of replacement deposits, malachite, and altered host rock.
I break down the geology, explain why this area was so productive, and show where hidden ore can still be found today — especially along the outer margins of stopes and alteration zones most people walk past.
This isn’t theory. This is real field exploration inside a dangerous, forgotten mine with a long history — and a few eerie stories that come with it.
If you’re interested in gold prospecting, abandoned mines, mining history, and real geology, you’re going to love this one.
