In this small series I am in Colorado with Edwin and visit abandoned mine related facilities.
I visit the infamous ghost town Gilman, which closed in 1984 by the order of the Enviromental Protection Agency because of toxic pollutants. Since then it’s a forbidden ghost town.

Hi, Al. This video is about an abandoned me in Colorado USA Please show it to people who will like it. Thank you.
should’ve gone in the mine.
Hi bob, спасибо за интересные видео.
The walk to this place is absolutely ridiculous 😭
Man, do I ever see an opportunity for a Discovery mini-series. Grab a few people from Gold Rush, mixed in with some popular YouTubers (from will it run shows, vice-grip Garage) followed up by a few others like HeavyD to provide some more logistics, and see if they can get the minimal amount of work to get the equipment barely running and run a few tons through the machines (not to make it a viable operation, but more of can this old equipment still run after all these years). MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
wow!iam form nepal👍👍👍👍👍
I was born in Co., a very little town called Uravan. I went to see it in 1983, and the two room wooden shack, that I was born in, it had a radiation hazard sign on it. The whole town was irradiated by "the Uranium Mill" located there. The reason I quoted the uranium mill was that is what it was called by all the locals. But the whole thing is/was built underground. A mill is where the ore is crushed to seperate the high grade ore from the low grade or waste. It would be a definite waste to build it underground, no one would steal high grade uranium ore, the only people you could sell it to would be the government, so it was not a mill, I’d guess it was the centrifuges, that would better account for the dust that contaminated the town I was born in. A "mill" would produce very little of the dust that contaminated the town. I’ve heard since, that the whole town was bull dozed, I have no real knowledge of whether this is true, or not.
Surprised u didn’t get any paranormal stuff
This is what my grandpa worked on.
Those railroad tracks went to Camp Hale about 7 miles from Gilman. It was a secret high altitude training base during WWII and the original home of the 10th Mountain Division. There were over 20,000 troops living there and it was a huge thriving base.
They pioneered modern rappelling, free climbing, snow fighting and high mountain warfare. Today there is almost no trace of it left except for railroad tracks.
Would be cool to revive the town with camping old west shoot outs mine tours taverns etc
How was it cheaper to leave all that machinery. They left a complete machine shop. One of those lathes is $75,000 and there’s 3 in one shop in that mine.
I’m Abu Dartu from LIBERIA good job
The only problem is Leadville is not the most polluted city in Colorado
Это здесь снимали фильм Захват 2 с Сигалом.
Mines and minerals are parents of human civilization. But danger and pollution is attached with mines.but now mines are more safe and environment is looked after vigorously.enjoyed the vedeo a lot.
I am the daughter of a former miner in Idaho and I enjoy your site. Dad was hired by a mine owner in idaho in 1943 to work in essential mining for WWII . He followed this career for ten years as a mechanic and heavy equipment operator. After WWII he worked for companies mining for gold, both by hard rock or tunnels and dredges. Growing up in the mountains was a wonderful child
hood.
Raymond Archuletta died in a mining accident. His memorial and gravesite info is online. Stated "small statured human and children were used in closed quarters"
Lol fools gold
iron pyrite is crystallin, gold is globular
Awesome!
That’s my backyard😮, that yellow sulfur contaminate almost killed off a native frog species 😢
You would need some very large equipment to relocate that machinery. Probably a helicopter.
Look what the Terminator had done to the place.
I’m a 12 year old boy. I’m from Colorado and I can confirm this town exists.
1:44 is a 1959 Ford!
The gold you found is actually called "fool’s gold".

Scary and risky but all that metal rusted away by time ,could have feed lots of homeless people .
asbestos paradise
Me gusto mucho es muy interesante
I know I am very late but to everyone still watching the video the main reason no one evee takes anything from Bodie is because it is a cursed town which means all the items are cursed. If you remove anything from Bodie it’s said you will be cursed until you return the item. I have been to Bodie three times now and are completely obsessed.
Very interesting astounding and mind opening wow thank u guys 🙏😎
I live in CO and I drive truck , I drove by this site about 6 months ago . I was so excited to explore this but it was all fenced off . Thank you for finding a way . Curious where about you parked to hike in? Thank you for the journey.
disgusting US mentality..exploit , rob and rape and when there is no money anymore just leave your shit behind…EUROPE is so much more advanced and in tune with humanity…in Eurooe you have to restore nature after you do the exploitation…US = Russia
Never heard of it, don’t care, we’re all going to die from something! Get ready to meet your maker!
Thank you for the nice video well done and it was a pleasure to watch it thank you so much❤
ប្រទេសមហារអំណាច❤❤❤
just quietly, you should be wearing a p2 mask in these places as you will be kicking around the same shi that destroyed the miner’s lungs.
LET HORSES RUN RE START AS FOOL’s GET TURNED LAND FILL !
Just gotta say I believe that what you was holding in your hand was pyrite
I’m so surprised that these mines are not fenced off and watched by US Marshals!
Good Adventures!
I love this.
So! where is the ghost town as in the description?

スタンドバイミーみたい。
Seems like the whole world is toxic these days.
I love this part of Colorado , that railroad track used to be a main line of the DENVER & RIO GRANDE WESTERN. Railbanked by the UNION PACIFIC. The trains thru here were epic to see . Four and five engines up front , then four mid train , just howling up the grades. Now just a silent , rusty railbed. Good job guys !
That’s iron pyrite, otherwise known as fools gold lol
