    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!!!!

  6. Minns on November 24, 2022 at 11:22 pm

    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

  9. P Taylor on November 24, 2022 at 11:24 pm

    6:05 looks like Mike Myers left his mask on the ground there after Halloween. Rock?

  10. BBQNBLUES on November 24, 2022 at 11:24 pm

    That Old Dilatated Mine looks like one of Tony Beet’s ‘moneymakers’ ha

  11. John Hughes on November 24, 2022 at 11:24 pm

    great video, keep them coming, from Australia…

  12. Pat McCamy on November 24, 2022 at 11:25 pm

    This was very interesting!!! Thanks for sharing! Pat

    Very cool video. I like historic mining any towns.

  14. J Gurka on November 24, 2022 at 11:28 pm

    Fascinating – thanks.

  15. Grant hryze on November 24, 2022 at 11:28 pm

    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.

  16. lorenzo joneson on November 24, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    loves to say "Who knows?" you. you should know.

  17. RockyMtnGobblers on November 24, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    Most of the mines are abandoned but the land is still privately owned

  18. susan blauss on November 24, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    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!

  19. Boots on the Ground on November 24, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    This has been sitting in my watch later playlist for 2 years, time to watch 🙂

  20. J K on November 24, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    Be careful out there in the wilds.

  21. Sidney Hirst on November 24, 2022 at 11:36 pm

    Bro, stop playing with clothing when you find bits. Nothing good you will find. You may find the opposed….

  22. Binoy Vudi on November 24, 2022 at 11:38 pm

    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.

  23. Bonnie Kaye on November 24, 2022 at 11:38 pm

    Loved the video!

  24. P Taylor on November 24, 2022 at 11:38 pm

    "Coyotes?" 😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Uh, no… wolves. Definitely wolves. (You’re such a great kid-no offense – I’m 68, pretty much everyone is a kid.)

  25. Ricardo García on November 24, 2022 at 11:41 pm

    No vi ni una sola pepita de oro o por lo menos la mina de donde se extraía el oro.

  26. StephenAndrew777 on November 24, 2022 at 11:41 pm

    Those are wolves or dogs for sure. Coyotes sound almost like whale noises.

  27. TruthSeeker333 on November 24, 2022 at 11:42 pm

    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

  28. AndrewC on November 24, 2022 at 11:42 pm

    Pack of wolves…its cool…its all good..grrrrr..oh no my throat..

  29. Josele Swopes on November 24, 2022 at 11:42 pm

    That’s a Hard Rock Mine ‼️
    Watch for the Tommy Knockers 👍

  30. Sean Hand on November 24, 2022 at 11:44 pm

    Coyote’s wolf’s? Haha idk brother sounds like a group of dogs

  31. Michael Ciccone on November 24, 2022 at 11:47 pm

    You would make an excellent traveling companion.

  32. Daveinet on November 24, 2022 at 11:48 pm

    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.

  33. FendergtrJam on November 24, 2022 at 11:52 pm

    What was all that banging sound STARTED before he picked up the old overalls? Ghosts of the miners?

  34. Kate Apple on November 24, 2022 at 11:53 pm

    I think that sound was drones

  35. Ty N. on November 24, 2022 at 11:54 pm

    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.

  36. Mowing, Trimming, & Edging on November 24, 2022 at 11:54 pm

    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 😎

  37. Louise Taylor on November 24, 2022 at 11:56 pm

    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…

  38. Buck Gibbons on November 24, 2022 at 11:56 pm

    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.

  39. Mobile Instinct on November 24, 2022 at 11:57 pm

    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

  41. Arleen Rooney on November 25, 2022 at 12:00 am

    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.

  42. mavic. sky on November 25, 2022 at 12:01 am

    Great place to get some drone footage

  43. Eddie Zubrzycki on November 25, 2022 at 12:01 am

    Those old miners jeans were worth money dumb dumb

  44. Tom Servo 42 on November 25, 2022 at 12:03 am

    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.

  45. GRIM REAPERS CREED on November 25, 2022 at 12:04 am

    This guy has balls..wrong step on that old mining equipment..bye..bye..

  46. Ryan Davis on November 25, 2022 at 12:04 am

    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.

  47. Metalhead Madman on November 25, 2022 at 12:05 am

    Our money used to be backed by gold. Now it’s backed by nothing but hopes and dreams. This country is screwed.

  48. ThatStupidBunnySuit on November 25, 2022 at 12:06 am

    Man I like your energy or lack there of. Chill vibes and just a genuine personality.

  49. rrios283s73 on November 25, 2022 at 12:10 am

    Very cool
