Abandoned Gold Mine | White Mountains California
Abandoned Gold Mine | White Mountains California
We were lucky enough to stumble across this old abandoned gold mine in the white mountains while exploring the Ancient Bristlecone Pine forest. We only had a short time to explore this area, but there is a ton of history here to find.

You see so many cool places!!! 🤘🌲🌲🌲🌲
That is freaking awesome brother hellyeah
When we went to the Bristlecone Pine reserve about a half mile uptrail from the parking area and museum, we saw the pine log cabin of the Mexican mine and it was larger and better preserved. We didn’t find the shaft, but knew it was in the general area. We were on the way up that 4 mile loop so, we didn’t get more than a few photos. There wa a plaque there and a little history of the mine and how it got it’s name. It seems they shut it down around the late 1920’s early 1930’s…
Like #17, fully enjoyed, cuz that’s how we support each other! WHOA 😲 that’s an incredible find! There are places like that all over Arizona…makes you appreciate how far they traveled to build it, and how they lived miles from nowhere and made it! Great tour, if only the walls could talk…🙋♀️Lisa
Great find!!! Did you take the instant coffee with you?
That was great visiting those old cabins and the history that went down. Too bad they’re abandoned and about to fall down. Thanks for the fun tour.
that tasters choice is easily, 3-5,000 years old without carbon dating we just can’t be sure
That was so neat! Anything along the 395 and the surrounding area is my favorite place in the world. Glad you found me!😋
AWESOME!! those may be Bristlecone log cabins, very few were ever built. pretty amazing you got the old hunter "logs" and the actual logbook… 1920, nice! interesting how things like this get re used over the years.. miner’s cabin to hunter’s cabin to historical site/ thanks for taking us out there
Very interesting! I enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up!
Looks like an awesome place good times
So… did a little research. It was a gold mine. The vein intersects the vertical shaft at depth of 45′. The vein was 5′ thick.
This reminds me a lot rdr2, idk why
Such an awesome find 👊🏻
The mud between the logs is called "chinking"
Been all over the whites and never ran across that encampment before. Good find.
So neat to see old historical sites, love that kind of stuff. Thanks for the thorough look at all the cool stuff!
Great video… Very cool place to explore. Beautiful area. Thanks for sharing, take care Jason.
Wow, what a cool site to explore! You find some awesome places, my friend!
What a great find.
Awesome find. Makes the mind wonder what happened there, and who is buried there as well.
EPIC!!!!!!!!!!
Every old mine camp is worth exploring. Nice job sharin’
Very cool place! We will have to check it out when we make it to that area!
You guys really find some great places, Jason! Cool mine shaft. Nice to see that people for the most part are respecting these historic sites.
