We found dynamite in this abandoned mine! As Tom, Julie, and I continued our exploration and documentation of the Pleasanton Mine, we found two sticks of dynamite in a lower level of the mine. Other fascinating finds included the wheel assembly of an ore cart which still rolled on the ore cart tracks, a Cutler-Hammer ventilation fan, a winch above an inclined shaft, a skip car with talc ore still in it at the bottom of another inclined shaft, and tons of classic mine timbering (everybody's favorite!). Believe it or not, there was an even lower level in the talc mine, but we chose to not descend to it due to there being a lot of collapse on the way down to it. Enjoy the video and let me know what you think in the comments!

$Searching for Connections in the Abandoned Snakebite Mine Does the abandoned Snakebite Mine connect to another nearby mine that Paul and I attempted to excavate last year? I went seeking an answer to that question not too long ago. The Snakebite Mine and the unnamed mine that we attempted to excavate last year do face each other on opposite sides of a small hill, are only about 1000 feet apart (304 m), and only differ in elevation by 70 feet (21 m). While inside the Snakebite Mine, I discovered several inclined passageways going down and up from the main haulage tunnel into stopes. Could one of those downward tunnels actually connect to the other mine? Then, without warning, I arrived at a junction and suddenly found myself at the bottom of a main inclined shaft that went upward and broke through to the surface. It was quite an exploration! Enough talk for now. Lets get on to the video! **If your viewing device can handle it, be sure to watch this video in stunning 4K resolution! Make those colors pop!
