I’m glad you uploaded this, I really like it !!
lol I’m watching your videos backwards, though I saw the donkeys … seems like 2 weeks ago, they were very cute. This was one of the best videos! What an adventure! thank you.
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.
great video, keep them coming, from Australia…
No vi ni una sola pepita de oro o por lo menos la mina de donde se extraía el oro.
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.
Very cool
The mine must be worth a fortune in scrap.
Here’s a link to that other video with the Donkeys I was talking about – https://youtu.be/yuKRZcjXdl8
There probly still bits of gold around there.! ??
Wow
Chris, you gotta get out to Cerro Gordo California! There’s a Youtube by the name of Brent Underwood who’s restoring it. Im sure he’d be happy to have the extra exposure. His YT is Ghost Town Living.
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.
loves to say "Who knows?" you. you should know.
Very cool video. I like historic mining any towns.
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
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 😎
So, a fun fact for you. The old mines that are now closed, are seeing some resurgence by modern miners. New technology allows us to extract ore (gold, silver, etc) from rocks that miners previously would have considered too costly to bother with. I personally know people who own an old silver mine, and have been working through the ‘tailings’ to produce high quality silver. Most of the tailings being low quality ore that the original miners simply discarded.
That’s some good steel. Not like what’s made foreign now…
Fascinating – thanks.
6:05 looks like Mike Myers left his mask on the ground there after Halloween. Rock?
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.
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.
Great place to get some drone footage
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.
So many cool places to see in this world.
Be careful out there in the wilds.
What was all that loud fuckin noise
Jesus Christ ,
Most of the mines are abandoned but the land is still privately owned
This reminds me of Annesburg from Red Dead Redemption 2! ^^ So cool to see ancient history come to life in video games! Been watching your channel for a while now and I always love your explorations, Chris! Thanks so much for bringing us such amazing content and discoveries over the years! Eternally grateful! ^^
Lots of gold dust out there ,even if u get 2000 a once its fantastic,lots of scrap
Мне нравятся такие заброшки побольше такого видео класс
I grew up neat Cripple Creek. Its a BEAUTIFUL area!!!!
All that banging? Was that ghosts!???
"Coyotes?" 😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Uh, no… wolves. Definitely wolves. (You’re such a great kid-no offense – I’m 68, pretty much everyone is a kid.)
That Levi is worth thousands
Do one the dude who bought Cerro Gordo.
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
Love your world
What a great explore. I love investigating old workings especially mines. Was scared that you were going to drop your mobile down the shaft.
What was all that banging sound STARTED before he picked up the old overalls? Ghosts of the miners?
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.
The bed in house is called a box spring mattress
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…
Our money used to be backed by gold. Now it’s backed by nothing but hopes and dreams. This country is screwed.
This was very interesting!!! Thanks for sharing! Pat
Another great adventure; thanks for posting. I went on line looking for property for sale.
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.
I so enjoy listening to you speculate; I do the same thing in my head. Thanks and keep safe
Coyote’s wolf’s? Haha idk brother sounds like a group of dogs
