Abandoned Arizona Mine Explored – Bradshaw Mountains

Abandoned Arizona Mine Explored – Bradshaw Mountains

We discovered an old abandoned mine while on an expedition through the Bradshaw Mountains so we checked it out. It is a pretty extensive mine with lots of cool wooden structures, ore shoots, flooded mines, ore cart rail tracks, mill site, and core samples.

    It’s official name is the Swastika Mine (yes this mine was started in the 1800s before Germany made it a symbol of hate during the 1900s) it was originally a symbol of peace and prosperity. It’s an interesting place to explore but parts are flooded during certain times of the year and if you don’t have the proper equipment you can suffocate so be safe and have fun exploring

    Man I’m surprised that you don’t get lost or worse! You don’t go by the right hand rule or nothing!!!
    Also those false floors are death traps!!!

    Didn’t take too much to find it. By chance do you have an interior map of it? It would really help us if you did 🙂

    The one that says bad air does not have bad air there is a really cool hoist room in the back

    As always, great job. When I was there I wanted to do the flooded one too. I did not find Adit 2 though, so I guess I have to go back now!

  6. Benjamin Pedersen on May 8, 2022 at 8:23 pm

    This mine is called Swastika mine.

    I literally drive by here once a month. Crazy freaky and interesting. Does anyone know the history of the mine?

    Awsome video! By any chance would you be willing to give directions to this location?

  9. painedinks on May 8, 2022 at 8:30 pm

    I seriously cant ever see too many mine videos, and this one was really awesome! Thx for sharing it! I really enjoyed this one!

    hey Guys if your going to explore, please be educated on proper terminology and safe practices and know the workings of a mine so the people who are knowledgeable and those that aren’t know that you know what you are doing in a mine. I have 30 years exploring mines. So when narrarating provide accurate information. Have fun and be safe.

    This looks like The Stoddard Mine

  12. Pilot Institute on May 8, 2022 at 8:33 pm

    That was awesome! Thanks for sharing.

  13. john cimino on May 8, 2022 at 8:37 pm

    Amazing video, thanks for sharing, you guys are very brave going in there👍

  14. Dave Johnson on May 8, 2022 at 8:38 pm

    I’m guessing you’ve not done much mine exploration. My guess also is you won’t do many more . Your lighting is great but the way you maneuver is quite dangerous to your future among the living.

    Expedition Offroad, so my buddies wanna start exploring mines in the Arizona area so I was wondering if maybe you could give us some ideas on what mines are still open

  16. Ginger Bread on May 8, 2022 at 8:40 pm

    I will keep an eye out. Thank you for writing me.

  17. Todd Hoffmaster on May 8, 2022 at 8:42 pm

    Did you go past the Bad Air posting? Is there plenty to see before that sign?

  18. Gary Bauer on May 8, 2022 at 8:43 pm

    Do y’all have the right equipment?

  19. Robert Lyman on May 8, 2022 at 8:43 pm

    Can you imagine all the time and effort to erected all the wood structures and supports? Where did all the wood come from?

  20. Lena Marie on May 8, 2022 at 8:44 pm

    coordinates?

  21. Newriver Troll on May 8, 2022 at 8:45 pm

    That mine is called the swastika mine and was primarily a gold mine. I’ve been inside it lots of times and seen lots you guys missed. The flooded tunnel you didn’t go in is not that deep or bad as it looks. If you go straight back, just past the flooded vertical tunnel on left you’ll see a ladder going up on your right. If you climb up to next level you’ll see the most amazing stoped out area, huge resevors of water and awesome mineral formations. The Desoto mine turn off at about mileage marker 14 has even more amazing n colorful mineral formations if you can find the right adit thats hidden by larger tree and dirt mound almost covering the entrance. Check out our short vids on my channel js. 👊 n 👍 for your vid. Subbed ya too…

  22. Ginger Bread on May 8, 2022 at 8:45 pm

    Great mine & you had great light. Thank you

  23. A Amado on May 8, 2022 at 8:51 pm

    Have longitude latitude? Would like to visit this for my next mine

  24. bucking fitch on May 8, 2022 at 8:52 pm

    I live nearby and would love go on an adventure like that

  25. Kingofgrowers on May 8, 2022 at 8:53 pm

    Are there any videos where the producer is on a hunt for minerals ? Seems all these vids are geared toward finding the end of the mine and movin on ?! I prospect. You guys could spend a little more time on the mine specifics . Thanks for what you are doing… it is more than me , and I whine …hahahaha. OOOps

  26. Leah Webb on May 8, 2022 at 8:56 pm

  27. Lee Hilton on May 8, 2022 at 8:56 pm

    Nice videos. Off-roadin an mine explorin, perfect! Always use the right hand or left hand rule when explorin a mine. You won’t get lost that way. Watch those false floors too. You were on one or damn close when you found that winze in the middle of the floor. My in-laws live in surprise Arizona now. I can’t wait to get the yota out there an explore. Yall be safe out there

  28. Real Life Clean Living on May 8, 2022 at 9:00 pm

    There is so much to see in this video it’s quite a marvel to see! This place looks like a maze, I’d be afraid to get lost… Great job navigating this and thanks for showing us what you found! Great work!

  29. Billy Befoot on May 8, 2022 at 9:04 pm
