There probly still bits of gold around there.! ??
Another great adventure; thanks for posting. I went on line looking for property for sale.
Man, I’d love to roam the old mine camp with a metal detector. Maybe someone dropped a nugget or an old coin, or buried some near their house to use at some later date.
Couldn’t resist playing "Gold Dust Woman" while watching this fascinating look at how greedy our forebears were…reminds me also of "Deadwood" but this view is much more genteel.
I grew up neat Cripple Creek. Its a BEAUTIFUL area!!!!
Wonder why that place wasn’t taken over by another to continue the mining I wonder what happened to the partners after they closed the operation or what lead to they’re decision to end the venture
Look at all the snow! Must be June in Colorado!
That Levi is worth thousands
6:05 looks like Mike Myers left his mask on the ground there after Halloween. Rock?
That Old Dilatated Mine looks like one of Tony Beet’s ‘moneymakers’ ha
great video, keep them coming, from Australia…
This was very interesting!!! Thanks for sharing! Pat
Very cool video. I like historic mining any towns.
Fascinating – thanks.
You were just west of the Vindicator Mining District. It’s about a 2 1/2 mile walk, which is really cool. But , they don’t want you leaving the trail.
loves to say "Who knows?" you. you should know.
Most of the mines are abandoned but the land is still privately owned
I’ve recently discovered this channel & have been binge watching them all.Chris,I love the fact that you are neither chlostrophic nor afraid of heights- you appear to be fearless! Which is great for me because you take me places I’ve never seen & obviously won’t see.I love all the different explores,but please be careful, a buddy might not be a bad idea- I find myself holding my breath & my heart beating hard in some of the places you go! But I love the adventures- you are my favorite explorer!
This has been sitting in my watch later playlist for 2 years, time to watch 🙂
Be careful out there in the wilds.
Bro, stop playing with clothing when you find bits. Nothing good you will find. You may find the opposed….
Dude that was wolves. I was a little scared and worried for you when that part came up !!!! I don’t know exactly how remote this place is, bit you’re lucky to get out alive especially if you did this alone by yourself. Please consider getting a hiking partner when you go out to these places. A pack of wolves can be extremely lethal and there is nothing you can do to protect yourself even if you carried a firearm.
Loved the video!
"Coyotes?" 😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Uh, no… wolves. Definitely wolves. (You’re such a great kid-no offense – I’m 68, pretty much everyone is a kid.)
No vi ni una sola pepita de oro o por lo menos la mina de donde se extraía el oro.
Those are wolves or dogs for sure. Coyotes sound almost like whale noises.
You have to realise where the Gold is really going to..
Trust me it’s not the bankers, it the 👽 that need it.
I’d have a metal detector over all that rubble as they would of missed so much back in the day
Pack of wolves…its cool…its all good..grrrrr..oh no my throat..
That’s a Hard Rock Mine ‼️
Watch for the Tommy Knockers 👍
Coyote’s wolf’s? Haha idk brother sounds like a group of dogs
You would make an excellent traveling companion.
I’m very surprised to see you have that much access. Last time I visited the town of Victor, everything was fenced off. You couldn’t get close to anything. All the mines on the hill sides were also filled in. When my family went there in the late 60s, we have photos of all the mines on the hill sides. The same hillsides were all filled in when we went in the early 90s. Same for Cripple Creek. There was a mine you could tour on the way to Cripple Creek. We went down inside – 1000 ft down. That was one of the highlights of the trip, not so much what you saw, but that it was authentic. They gave us a couple of rocks which have gold in them. Gold actually looks silver when it is in the rock.
What was all that banging sound STARTED before he picked up the old overalls? Ghosts of the miners?
I think that sound was drones
Nice little bat door! Ventilation shaft, for sure! Too small I would think, to be a portal. Would love to go do some exploring with you if you’re in the area sometime(Pittsburgh, and North of it)! There’s still alot of places I haven’t explored here in PA. Been here for 9 years, haven’t explored much. My wife’s family is from central PA. Been to a couple places over there.
Don’t discount yourself, you explored dangerous surface areas some people may be leery to check out up close. Next time if you learn what these are ⬇️ and throw out terms such as head frame, ore chute, winch, ore bin, ore carts, trestle, mine shaft, winze , portal most will not be the wiser 😎
You remind me of Chris Pratt, the actor/trainer in Jerastic World. Kinda sound like him too but, now, I know you aren’t. Btw be safe, please…
Hello, I enjoyed your video of Victor. I used to be a city councilman in Victor. Owned a business or two while I was there. One thing, people can tend to be a bit territorial about the place. You’ve been places there that I haven’t even been. I was afraid of getting shot at. There is an active company there called the C,C, & V. They take about 25,000 ounces a month.
Here’s a link to that other video with the Donkeys I was talking about – https://youtu.be/yuKRZcjXdl8
Мне нравятся такие заброшки побольше такого видео класс
Interesting and dangerous for kids to go up there and fall into many mine shafts. You have to be a mountain goat not to slip and slide.
Great place to get some drone footage
Those old miners jeans were worth money dumb dumb
I LOOOOOOOOVE Victor Co… I want to buy a house out there. My grandparents used to own 100 acres on nipple mountain (LOL) I know. Glad I found your chan, makes me nostalgic.
This guy has balls..wrong step on that old mining equipment..bye..bye..
That heavy thing is a resistor bank. Used to reduce voltage or for breaking motors that are being used to control the decent of a hoist.
Our money used to be backed by gold. Now it’s backed by nothing but hopes and dreams. This country is screwed.
Man I like your energy or lack there of. Chill vibes and just a genuine personality.
Very cool
