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.

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…
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.
Very cool place! We will have to check it out when we make it to that area!
Very interesting! I enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up!
What a great find.
that tasters choice is easily, 3-5,000 years old without carbon dating we just can’t be sure
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 was so neat! Anything along the 395 and the surrounding area is my favorite place in the world. Glad you found me!😋
So neat to see old historical sites, love that kind of stuff. Thanks for the thorough look at all the cool stuff!
You see so many cool places!!! 🤘🌲🌲🌲🌲
EPIC!!!!!!!!!!
The mud between the logs is called "chinking"
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 video… Very cool place to explore. Beautiful area. Thanks for sharing, take care Jason.
Awesome find. Makes the mind wonder what happened there, and who is buried there as well.
This reminds me a lot rdr2, idk why
That is freaking awesome brother hellyeah
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
