Rappelling Down an Abandoned, Pre-Civil War Silver Mine in New Mexico Part 2 ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2023-02-15 | Most hiking and exploring trips take you up mountains and through valleys with scenic views. This hiking and exploring trip takes you under the mountain with scenery that many aren't used to!This abandoned mine was a challenging one to access and exit. We rappelled down a wide-open void 100 vertical feet down to the upper levels and stopes in this locally-famous abandoned mine. Inside, we were able to hike down large stopes and underground caves to a depth of 300 vertical feet below the surface from our entry point!This two-part series catalogues thousands of feet of underground workings that connect with natural caves. There is a particular cave named the "Crystal Cave" that was documented in the 1880s as "...so spectacular, it became an immediate public attraction and overnight sensation." This cave contained elaborate formations from chalcedony, calcite, calcium carbonate, and tinted with colors from silver, lead, and copper ores. The miners name the formations the "Silver Forest," "Cleveland, Grant, Garfield, and Arthur" (after U.S. Presidents), and the "Sleeping Lamb." We have yet to rediscover this cave (as it was destroyed during the mining process), and it is at a lower level that we have yet to reach.Part 1 shares a point of interest on the surface, initial entry into the mine, the upper level with its stopes, and an intersection with a natural cave.Part 2 will show a Wulfenite deposit, a 450-foot-deep underground chasm with a decrepit wooden bridge crossing, and some mysterious items (like a door that belongs on a ship) that you don't usually see in mines!Joining us once again on this adventure is @Zia Mountain Adventures, along with their friend (and now my new friend) Joe, a 10-year SAR volunteer with vast amounts of knowledge on rope work. Together, we take our underground abandoned mine exploring experiences to another level. We have hiked several miles underground, documenting this historic place, each one of us with a different perspective. I hope you enjoy our videos, and I encourage you to check out and subscribe to @ZiaMountainAdventures channel as well!Inside of this mountain holds many mysteries and surprises- we hope to rediscover them and share them with you!A viewer had made a suggestion to make longer videos, so this one is longer than usual. It worked for Abandoned and Forgotten Places, so I'll give it a shot! Why not?On a side note, entering this mine can be dangerous or deadly without the right equipment. Don't do this kind of thing without the proper knowledge, equipment, ability, or experience!This abandoned mine exploring video is shot and presented in 4K and HDR.

Abandoned Mine Exploration of the Colossal Underground Summit Copper Mine ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2024-03-27 | This abandoned mine is BIG. Over 5 miles of underground workings were carved into the mountain to extract copper, along with lead, zinc, and molybdenum. The historic mining began in 1881 and continued to around World War 2. What's unique about this mine is that the adit we enter is actually a tunnel! There are entrances on both sides of the mountain to gain access to the orebody that is situated in the center of the mountain.Joining us in this adventure is @ZiaMountainAdventures, @OnTheNextEpisode , @Porty1119 , and @AbandonedMines11 who will share this experience on their respective channels with their own unique perspective.This abandoned mine exploring video is shot and presented in 4K and HDR.

Unusual Pre-Civil War Abandoned Mine that Breaks into a Crystal Cavern ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2024-02-27 | Exploring abandoned mines sometimes turns into cave exploration. This pre-Civil War abandoned mine is one of those places. We rappel into an old silver mine with origins dating back to 1847 that intersects a cave system that once held elaborate crystal formations that would rival any protected cave system today. It is difficult to tell the difference on what open voids in the mountain are man-made or natural in this one. There are reports from other explorers in the past that this abandoned mine is haunted as well.

Exploring a Lost Underground Tunnel, Cave -ins, and Hidden Passages to a Massive Abandoned Mine ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2023-12-15 | Well, this is an all time low when it comes to knowing when to call it quits. Exploring this abandoned underground mine tunnel sets the danger level pretty high this time! We descend into the mountain nearly a mile to tie up loose ends and find out where this dangerous, failing tunnel leads. We must trudge through this flooded tunnel and weave through extremely hazardous cave-ins to finish exploring this one.Joining us in this adventure is @ZiaMountainAdventures , @OnTheNextEpisode , and @AbandonedMines11 who will share this experience on their respective channels with their own unique perspective.This abandoned mine exploring video is shot and presented in 4K and HDR.

Exciting Historic Treasures Found in this Large Abandoned Mine! ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2023-11-17 | Unexpected finds are always a thrill when exploring abandoned places such as abandoned mines! In this video, that is exactly what happened! We rappel down an open void underground to find huge underground chambers, hundreds of sticks of dynamite, 100-year-old pick axes, ore cars, tools, and the best-preserved tobacco tin I've ever seen.The funny thing is- we were going to explore this abandoned mine just to essentially "get it over and done with" because we assumed that the inclined shaft we would enter would just lead to an impasse at a vertical shaft. Needless to say, it led to much more than we expected!The origins of this mine date back to 1897, mining lead, zinc, and silver sporadically until 1957.Joining us in this adventure is @ZiaMountainAdventures , @OnTheNextEpisode , and @AbandonedMines11 who will share this experience on their respective channels with their own unique perspective.This abandoned mine exploring video is shot and presented in 4K and HDR.

Deadly Encounter Caught on Video While Exploring an Abandoned Mine ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2023-11-11 | While exploring an old, abandoned mine, I ended up getting much more than I bargained for. We were searching for a connection between two different abandoned silver mines underground when the ground suddenly caves under my feet. Needless to say, this was a close call where I learned a valuable lesson while exploring these abandoned places. #exploringabandonedmines#mineexploring#closecall
Finding Amazing Blue Crystals and Blue Mystery Sludge Underground- The Lost Treasure Mine PT 6 ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2023-10-08 | Finding vibrant, colorful crystals and minerals underground is always a special treat! We discover a rich deposit of azurite, malachite, a highly-sought aqua blue mineral*, tons of gold... fools gold, and galena. We also find a very bizarre and spectacular underground marvel- tunnel walls, floors, and wood stained bright blue from copper deposits.This series catalogues miles of underground workings that connect with many adjacent mines in the area, along with endless historical graffiti, the most elaborately timbered hoist room, ore cars, drills, windlasses, spectacular minerals, and even miner's garments. We get to explore many of the 14 levels in this mine, all of them extensive! The amount of ladder-climbing and underground hiking in this place has been the most extensive exploration to date!

Exploring the Flooded Lower Level of the Abandoned Union Schnitzel Mine! ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2023-09-12 | In this video, Todd, Joe, and I finally get to explore the lower level of this flooded, abandoned mine we've been wanting to get into for quite a long time. We haven't been able to gain entry until now due to the depth of the water level inside of the tunnel. In certain parts, the water level surpassed 5 feet - well above standard chest waders - and the water is chilly!Todd and Joe took the classy route- bringing kayaks along and kayaking underground until the water level became too shallow. Myself, on the other hand- I took the swamp man approach and trudged through the slippery, quicksand-like mud with my trusty waders.Inside of this old, dark, and damp underground mine are cave formations developing from 100 years of water depositing dissolved minerals, historic items, century-old graffiti, and a bit of mystery. Join us underground, exploring over a mile of abandoned tunnels left behind from over a century ago from hard work, hope, and guts.Joining us on this adventure are @OnTheNextEpisode and @ZiaMountainAdventures .

Exploring New Mexicos Largest Abandoned Mine- The Cavern to Hades and Unexpected Finds! Part 4 ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2023-07-07 | Uncovering a huge underground cave? Exploring abandoned mines? Exploring an abandoned bunker? This abandoned underground exploration is all the same in this video!Today's abandoned mine exploring video is part 4 of possibly the LARGEST accessible abandoned mine in New Mexico! I've conducted many abandoned mine exploration trips across the desert southwest, but in terms of size, this is the largest I have experienced to date. In many areas, the underground scenery resembles a massive cave system. This is truly one of the most interesting abandoned places near me that I have explored!In part 4, we begin our underground hiking adventure revisiting the experimental bunkers, then head towards the northern cavernous open spaces left behind from mining operations. Valuable minerals were extracted over a span of more than 80 years, so tens of thousands of tons of material were removed from the interior of the mountain! We encounter another vintage ore car, exceptional mineral specimens, explosives, and underground chambers that could possibly host a concert! History of this mine is rather colorful. It started in the early 1900s as an underground lead, zinc, and silver mine. In its later days, it became a test site for experimenting with underground munitions storage and the effects of explosives detonating in that setting. It is part of a massive and elaborate network of an underground ore zone that spans for several miles under the mountain.This mine is so massive, we have made several trips to it, and still are discovering new areas! This video is the fourth of many documenting this astonishing man-made cavern with sights resembling scenes from cave exploring videos!Joining us on this adventure are @AbandonedMines11, @OnTheNextEpisode and@ZiaMountainAdventures.

The Lost Treasure Mine PT 5- Persistence isnt Always Progress ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2023-06-11 | Welcome to PART 5 and a new level of this abandoned mine exploring series... with a ghost caught on camera?!As we retrace our steps to find new leads that gain access to unexplored areas of the mine, we are successful on discovering a sublevels that run in between several main levels. We discover a vintage ore car, in-tact windlass, and a massive stope laden with colorful minerals and countless timber support beams ("stulls"). My persistent curiosity, and lack of communication ability (our radios could not penetrate the rock in this area) caused a 2-hour cat-and-mouse chase- Todd, Joe, and Lewis were trying to rendezvous back with myself, while I was trying to do the same from a different level, and direction. We eventually were able to link back up, both parties worried, but glad each were safe. From that point forward, there are always a well-understood rendezvous plan and other means of communication, other than radios or verbal.This series catalogues miles of underground workings that connect with many adjacent mines in the area, along with endless historical graffiti, the most elaborately timbered hoist room, ore cars, drills, windlasses, and even miner's garments. We get to explore five of the many levels in this mine, all of them extensive! If you haven't seen parts 1 through 4, you're missing out.

What do you think caused this ring to appear? ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2023-04-23 | As I was fiddling around with my helmet-mounted GoPro to make sure it was recording, I spotted what appeared to be a smoke ring appear out of thin air as @OnTheNextEpisode was waiting to go for an ore car ride in an abandoned mine. I didn't think much of it at the time, but after reviewing what the camera caught, it was rather intriguing and unexplainable as to where that ring came from. Any thoughts?
An Earthquake-Ravaged Abandoned Mine Exploration ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2023-03-09 | This is perhaps the most unnerving underground exploration I've done to date... My youngest son, Mark, was eager to come along with me on an abandoned mine exploring trip, but I had not envisioned the extreme ground situation we would encounter entering this historic abandoned mine. Production of lead, zinc, and silver began here in 1878, and was mined until the 1950s. A major earthquake in 1906 rocked New Mexico, and could be felt in locations over 500 miles away in Texas and Arizona. This earthquake caused fault slippage in this mine along the dip of the vein, causing the hanging wall (in this case, the roof of the mine) to shift to the west, and drop 3 feet. This caused some drift tunnels to become as tall as 3 feet in some areas. What is astounding is that the miners still kept mining, using the now shorter drifts! You will see that the miners shaved off sections of the shifted posts to allow for mine cars to clear them! We eventually arrive in a large stope that was littered with boulders the size of large vehicles, likely caused from that major earthquake. This mine is part of a network of interconnected underground workings that span over 30 miles! There is so much more to explore here, but I have to admit, abandoning this abandoned mine exploration was probably the better choice we made... for now.Joining us once again on this adventure is @ZiaMountainAdventures, along with their friend (and now my new friend) Joe, a 10-year SAR volunteer with vast amounts of knowledge on rope work.

The Fractured Abandoned Underground- Exploring the Copper Bear Mine Part 2 ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2023-02-01 | Today, our underground exploring adventure leads back to an old, abandoned copper and lead mine that dates back to 1916. This mine is situated in a large section of highly fractured limestone that stretches for several hundred miles across the state! The vein the miners were chasing sits on a shallow angle that dips 5 to 15 degrees, and the stopes are all interconnected. This mine can be traversed without any rope gear, and was more like underground hiking rather than typical exploring. The frightening fractures in this abandoned mine would subdue most people's desire to explore this place, but here we are.We initially thought we completed a full exploration of this mine, but as I studied the map further after I got back from this place, we missed A LOT! This video highlights us leaving off from part 1, and getting to the unexplored areas of this abandoned mine.

The Lost Treasure Mine PT 4- Unstable Underground and Departure to Daylight ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2023-01-16 | Welcome to PART 4 and level 4 of this amazing series!As we inch higher into the upper workings of the Lost Treasure Mine, and deeper into the mountain, we arrive at some of the workings that originated from the mine's beginnings. Much of this level is part of a stope that is in some bad ground. There are slabs of limestone the size of full-sized sedans that were dislodged from the back of this underground void! An unexpected surprise- We eventually encounter daylight and arrive on the surface, on the other side of the mountain! We may have traveled several miles underground to end up where we did, and it was a much more comfortable situation hiking down a mountain rather than descending near-vertical ladder ways to get back to our staging point! This four-part series catalogues miles of underground workings that connect with many adjacent mines in the area, along with endless historical graffiti, the most elaborately timbered hoist room, ore cars, drills, windlasses, and even miner's garments.

The Lost Treasure Mine PT 1- Captivating Chambers, Amazing Artifacts and a Myriad of Miners Art ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-12-22 | As Indiana Jones would say, "It belongs in a museum," this holds true for this exceptional abandoned place! Underground, there are miles of workings that connect with many adjacent mines in the area, along with endless historical graffiti, the most elaborately timbered hoist room, ore cars, drills, windlasses, and even miner's garments. We get to explore four of the many levels in this mine, all of them extensive! This abandoned mine is truly an amazing place!Joining us once again on this adventure is @Zia Mountain Adventures. Together, we take our underground abandoned mine exploring experiences to another level.

Exploring New Mexicos Largest Abandoned Mine- The Cavern to Hades and Unexpected Finds! Part 3 ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-11-21 | Welcome back, everyone!!!Today's abandoned mine exploring video is part 3 of possibly the LARGEST accessible abandoned mine in New Mexico! I've conducted many abandoned mine exploration trips across the desert southwest, but in terms of size, this is the largest I have experienced to date. In many areas, the underground scenery resembles a massive cave system. This is truly one of the most interesting abandoned places near me that I have explored!In part 3, we begin our underground hiking adventure in the clouds- underground clouds. We intersect a 300-foot vertical passage that connects with another massive, flooded abandoned mine that enters the mountain nearly a mile away. After leaving the underground clouds, we begin a lengthy hike through several historic tunnels that accessed the cavernous open spaces left behind from the valuable minerals being extracted over a span of more than 80 years! We encounter a vintage hoist, ore car remains, another interesting trackway that declines into the mountain, explosives, another massive set of underground chambers, and an experimental bunker! History of this mine is rather colorful. It started in the early 1900s as an underground lead, zinc, and silver mine. In its later days, it became a test site for experimenting with underground munitions storage and the effects of explosives detonating in that setting. It is part of a massive and elaborate network of an underground ore zone that spans for several miles under the mountain.This mine is so massive, we have made several trips to it, and still are discovering new areas! This video is the third of many documenting this astonishing man-made cavern with sights resembling scenes from cave exploring videos!Joining us on this adventure are @Zia Mountain Adventures and @Headframe Hunters Mining & Exploration .

I've conducted many abandoned mine exploration trips across the desert southwest, but in terms of size, this is the largest I have experienced to date. In many areas, the underground scenery resembles a massive cave system. This is truly one of the most interesting abandoned places near me that I have explored!In part 2, we enter where the main ore body used to be. After the valuable minerals were extracted, massive stopes were left behind, leaving an underground void that is a sight to see! After traveling for several thousand feet, we encounter an underground weather system where clouds are forming and moisture precipitating from condensation. This is obviously not good for any iron or steel implements within the mine, as much of it is severely oxidized. We also come across a unique system of cave formations actively growing within one of the stopes in the clouds, where minerals within the mountains are leeching into the formations, creating colorful soda straws and stalactites!

Exploring an Abandoned Silver Mine Dating Back to the Post Civil War Era in New Mexico ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-10-24 | Today's abandoned mine exploring video features one of the oldest (and longest-mined) historical abandoned mines I've been in. History of this mine began in 1866 and was mined for nearly a century. It is part of an elaborate network of underground workings that span for many miles.This exploration focuses on a path to find an underground mule stable which was used during its early legacy period. Mules during the early era of this abandoned mine were used to haul ore car loads to the surface, long before powered trammers.Joining us on this adventure are @ZiaMountainAdventures and @Porty1119. Together, we descend down an inclined winze that has an ominous "Bad Air" label and a challenging obstacle to navigate through to get to the bottom. To get to the stable area, we then have to ascend a different inclined winze-stope to reach the original level where we entered this abandoned mine to circumnavigate a collapse that prevented us from reaching this area.This abandoned mine exploring video is shot and presented in 4K and HDR.

Chasing Questionable Ghosts and Making Dangerous Decisions in a Flooded, Treacherous Abandoned Mine ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-09-19 | It is recommended that you watch this video with a set of headphones or quality speakers and an HDR capable display to get a full experience of the sights and sounds shown within.@ZiaMountainAdventures and Abandoned Underground team up again, along with Mrs. Zia Mountain Adventures and Mrs. Abandoned Underground to explore a massive, dangerous and flooded abandoned mine. This mine's distance is unknown because we ran out of time to finish exploring it! The haulage adit pierces into the mountain for at least a half of a mile, and several drifts branch off into different directions. Kenny, Mrs. ZMA and Mrs. A/U stayed on the surface for emergency support on this one (they made the smart decision).What do I mean by dangerous? Prior to our visit, Porty 11-19 from @Porty1119 had given me a serious warning on not to enter a particular tunnel in this mining district we were visiting due to the severe danger inside. Unknown to us at the time, the abandoned mine in this video is the tunnel he was talking about. It is riddled with severely rotten timber supports, bad ground, cave ins, and flooding. I always trust Porty’s input on things like this because he is a mining professional that has an encyclopedia of knowledge on mines- both operating and abandoned. Disclaimer: With the information in the preceding paragraph, I must warn any viewer to not attempt, replicate, reproduce, or imitate what is seen in this video. This is a dangerous place, and in hindsight, I realized I did some dangerous things. I had to resort to yelling in some bad ground areas to communicate since one of the radios was left on the surface- bad decision. Navigating through a lattice of rotting wood and loose debris- bad decision. It is not worth the risk of being crushed, or buried alive to satisfy curiosity.You may ask- "Why Chasing Questionable Ghosts?" There are 2 odd events that manifest in this abandoned mine deep within the mountain: 1- a low rumbling noise coming out of an endless drift (11:20), and 2- a glowing light appears several hundred feet from where I stood (13:42). I'll save you the time reading on what my theories are regarding these events, as they are highlighted in the video. I will tell you this- they are reasonable theories, but I couldn't prove them. Who doesn't love a little mystery, and what's more mysterious than ghosts?Like what you watched? Please let me know! Like, share, and subscribe if you have not done so! I really appreciate your support on helping me do what I love.WARNING: Abandoned Underground's videos are intended for entertainment purposes.

Dangerous and Creepy Abandoned Mine Exploration... Haunted? I dont know, but weird stuff going on ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-09-05 | Just a short clip of an upcoming abandoned mine exploring video in the works. This place was dangerous with strange anomalies such as strange thuds and rumblings, and odd glimmers of light thousands of feet underground where I was the only person there. My buddy, Todd had joined me exploring, but decided not to advance past a collapse. These weird things happening were beyond two collapses that I had to traverse to get to this junction. We could not hear each other or see each other with the collapses obstructing the passage. This was probably the creepiest mine I've been to yet....
Exploring Another Abandoned Hippie Rock (Fluorite/Fluorspar) Mine Near Las Cruces, NM ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-08-28 | In this exploration adventure, joined with @ZiaMountainAdventures, we head to an abandoned fluorite mining district just outside of Las Cruces, New Mexico. This mining district featured here was discovered in 1917, mined intermittently from 1918 until 1928, leaving several adits and cuts that exploited several veins of fluorspar interlaced with barite. Much of the minerals here were hand-sorted and attempted to be milled near the site of the mines, adjacent to the nearby railroad. Unfortunately the milling efforts proved unsuccessful, and it was abandoned; leaving several hundred tons of barite near the current railroad- evidence of its past existence. The abandoned mine we explore underground highlights a 400 foot-long adit that follows along a fluorite vein that is now an open stope, at some points, 20 feet wide. There are many bats currently residing inside, and in some areas, the odor of guano is overwhelming. There are some very interesting pieces of geology on the surface and underground in this one! I hope you enjoy! On a side note, getting to this abandoned mine and back isn't terribly difficult hiking (in ideal weather). Perhaps one with an extremely capable, highly modified off-road vehicle could drive up to the mine, as many have done so in the past. I had knowledge that the derelict mining roads leading to this district have been destroyed from erosion over the many decades of rain and being abandoned, and a 4-wheel drive vehicle simply wouldn't succeed. With that being said, I decided to take along my brother's ATV to substitute the hiking in the interest of time. Unfortunately, the ATV option did not work out due to severe rock slides in one section ascending out of a canyon, and we reverted back to hiking 2.5 miles up to the mine.Point being, I was not prepared for the hike and suffered from severe dehydration and possibly on the verge of heat stroke! I had at most- 3 hours of sleep the night before, and didn't drink enough water that night. I always carry 3 liters of water when I know a hike is not very far. This time it wasn't enough. The high temperature around 3 pm (when we were returning) was at 95 degrees. Not too bad, right? The anomaly was that the humidity was above normal for the desert ( about 60%), the wind was calm, and there was absolutely no shade. All of those factors in combination led to severe cramping starting from my calves, to my thighs, all of the way up to my jaw. It felt like I was being zapped with a taser at times, a very unpleasant and scary experience. Kenny and Todd didn't experience such symptoms as I, but those weather conditions did not favor them as well. In the end, I did make it to a local store and drank plenty of electrolyte beverages to get me home.WARNING: Abandoned Underground's videos are intended for entertainment purposes.

Always prepare and carry more supplies than you need. It may be an inconvenience due to weight, but as the adage states- "It's better to have it and not need it, rather than to need it and not have it."Don't do this kind of thing without the proper knowledge, equipment, or experience! #ExploringAbandonedMines#AbandonedMines#MineExploring
Exploring Abandoned Mines in the Savage Mountains - Part 2 ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-07-31 | Part two of our journey in this video leads us to an abandoned silver, lead, gold, and copper mine at an elevation of a mile high. This exploration is of the largest of the underground mines and the conclusion of this two-part series outlining this desert mountain mining area. The abandoned mine featured in this video has three portals at different elevations on the mountain side following a vertical vein. The lower two adits are quite small, and one looked like it was converted to a powder magazine to store explosives after the miners hit minimal pay rock. The upper adit travels deep into the mountain, following a large vein of gold, copper, lead, and silver leading into several stopes, some of them open to the surface. An interesting sight within this mine is drill pipe being used as a thin-gauge rail replacement exemplifying miners' ingenuity when materials are scarce. Our journey ended when our path was obstructed by rotten false floors and timbers leading across a stope chamber descending downward into the mountain.Joining us again are Kenny and Todd from the @ZiaMountainAdventures YouTube channel!

Traversing a Dangerous Road on a Cliff and Exploring Abandoned Mines in the Savage Mountains- Part 1 ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-07-17 | Our journey in this video leads us up a winding mountain trail that straddles a cliff with a 500 foot vertical drop to a dry creek bed. This honestly was the most intimidating mountain pass I have driven through yet. The trails are seldomly traveled, as it is quite a rough ride and they are NARROW- allowing for only Jeeps and other mid-sized off road vehicles to navigate them. The views are amazing as the mountain pass takes you from the east side of the mountains to the west, leading up to several abandoned silver, lead, gold, copper, vanadium, and fluorite mines at an elevation of a mile high. We explore a few of the larger underground mines in this two-part series outlining this desert mountain mining area.Joining us again are Kenny and Todd from the @ZiaMountainAdventures YouTube channel!

ABANDONED CREEPY CABIN IN THE DESERT Full Of Stuff ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-07-09 | I found this creepy abandoned cabin / shack / bugout shelter (?) in the desert on my last adventure. It appeared someone had been here shortly before I arrived, but there is only one road in and out? The road in skirts the perimeter of a volcanic lava flow, and the road is becoming overgrown with thorny mesquite bushes. It's also in a very isolated location. This probably explains the lack of vandalism. All in all, this is a bizarre place that has miscellaneous items like abandoned vehicles, hand-painted pictures, a basement, and a dummy propped in a chair to make it appear that someone is inside. This place is near the U.S. and Mexico border, so it is plausible that migrants or smugglers do stop here for shelter...#abandoned #exploring #abandonedplaces
The Fractured Abandoned Underground- Exploring the Copper Bear Mine Part 1 ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-05-29 | Today, our adventure leads to the mountains to explore an old, abandoned copper and lead mine that dates back to 1916. This mine is situated in a large section of highly fractured limestone that stretches for several hundred miles across the state! The vein the miners were chasing sits on a shallow angle that dips 5 to 15 degrees, so the stopes are all interconnected and can be traversed without any rope gear. The frightening fractures in this abandoned mine would subdue most people's desire to explore this place, but here we are.Joining us are Kenny and Todd from the @ZiaMountainAdventures YouTube channel! I am glad to have met them and had a blast exploring this abandoned mine with them! Their perspective of this abandoned mine is here- youtube.com/watch?v=_8O2zuH-3uE , and I highly suggest you check it out! You will see a lot more of me in their video (which I'm not in front of the camera so much), also you will be seeing what I do from a different point of view and when I'm not shooting video and gain much more insight to this abandoned mine with an amazing exploring partner. Todd got some great shots that I missed! If you are inclined to do so, head over to their channel, check out where they've been and subscribe! The Zia Mountain Adventure Channel is here- youtube.com/c/ZiaMountainAdventuresWe initially thought we completed a full exploration of this mine, but as I studied the map further after I got back from this place, we missed A LOT!

Quick Trip- Ruined Racetrack ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-05-02 | This is a place I've always passed by when heading to other locations to explore near the U.S., Mexico border. The Rio Grande Speedway was a 1/8 mile, clay racetrack that hosted sprint cars and modified racers for a very short period of time- from 1998 to 2001. The speedway had ambitious plans to include a 1/4 mile drag strip and a mile-long oval asphalt track as well. Unfortunately, financial trouble struck the speedway and all operations were abandoned in 2001. At the time of its period of operation, this racetrack was quite a distance from any population or major highway. Only a dusty byway was the only means to travel here. Today, a major highway exists with much more residential areas only a few miles away. Perhaps this racetrack was built way ahead of its time, and if it was built and operated today, maybe it still would be in business...This video was shot in 4K HDR!

Hollow Mountain Revisited with Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-04-26 | We spent around 9 hours underground in this abandoned mine! Frank from @AbandonedMines11 and I joined up again to explore only a small section (which is still quite large) of this massive underground abandoned mine complex. We got into a precarious situation climbing up into one of the countless stopes in this mine to find a pristine vintage candy wrapper, we also find a well-camouflaged cache of old dynamite that went undiscovered in previous visits! Unfortunately, this place has been visited and vandalized by some individuals recently, leaving vulgar graffiti. These despicable acts have been happening at abandoned mines throughout the southwestern United States, and it ruins the allure and genuine historic atmosphere of these locations. Other fellow abandoned mine explorers have come across very similar graffiti, and it is wide spread. This type of behavior needs to stop, and it is a perfect example on why many abandoned mine explorers practice not sharing exact locations of these places. I did not focus on the negative in this video, but rather on the amazing experience exploring places like this.

Exploring the Crystal Palace Abandoned Mine with Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-03-26 | Well, I finally make it back out to some abandoned mines! In this video, I join up with Frank from @AbandonedMines11 and we explore an old, abandoned mine that once produced lead, zinc, along with some copper and silver. This mine was supposed to be a small, basic one, but it turned out to be larger than expected! There is also a resident ringtail that made a stope its home, and some evidence that a person made this mine either their shelter or hangout spot.

Abandoned Places - Exploring a 100-Year-Old Mill ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-03-18 | Hey everybody! I finally get back out to explore some abandoned mines and abandonedplaces, and this is my first stop - an abandoned mill constructed in 1928! Porty1119 from @Porty1119, along with his extensive knowledge on mines, mills, equipment, and operations, lends some insight into what some of these derelict pieces of equipment may have been used for in the past. This mill has a mountain of machinery left behind both inside and around the building, ranging from jaw crushers, hoists, ball mills, and floatation cells. The mine that accompanies this mill once mined silver, lead, zinc, and copper, and was the most productive in the district that it is located in. This video is the first of two for this area, so keep an eye out for part two coming soon! Oh yeah, I've become obsessed with shooting in 4K HDR, so my future videos will be in that format. I hope you will notice the difference! If you haven't already, subscribe to Headframe Hunters at youtube.com/user/Porty1119#abandonedplaces #MineExploring#Abandoned
Quick Trip- Going Inside an Abandoned Water Tank ABANDONED UNDERGROUND 2022-02-17 | It's been quite a while since I've been able to get out and explore. In this video, I decided to take a short local trip out to the desert to check out this decommissioned and abandoned water storage tank that was used for drinking water for the area for quite some time. It's no longer in use due to a much larger one being constructed and put in use near by.There's a bunch of colorful graffiti covering the exterior and interior walls of this place, so it's no secret of its existence. Many people that live in this area know about it, but there hasn't been a video about it posted (to my knowledge). It's something short and sweet, but I thought it was a unique experience to go inside a place that many haven't had the chance to experience.I will get back out to some more abandoned mines and other abandoned places soon!Thanks for watching!
