Abandoned Uranium Mine and Surrounding Area

Abandoned Uranium Mine and Surrounding Area

Exploring an abandoned uranium mine and surrounding area.

I do not recommend that anyone enter an old mine. I do not recommend that anyone handle or be exposed to any radioactive elements. This video is intended for entertainment purposes only.

    Cool walkthrough. Thanks for showing what it looks like with and without UV.

    I’ve been in a few U mines in E/central UT. Very similar. I saw more yellowcake(?), bright yellow fragile powder growths, bright green fluorescence @ 365nm.

    Very interesting mine, geology, & information #Oidium45 buddy! Hard rock mining and the difficultly of it always amazes me. Love the UV light show too. Cheers and HH, Aaron

    Sure is cool looking stuff with the black light. But be safe breathing it in brother 👍🇺🇸⚒🍀😎

    What kind of black light are you using?

    Great to see someone actually carrying a Geiger counter. But seems you didn’t care to show us the background radiation inside and how intense the radiation is from any hot spot.

    Now that’s pretty cool. You always take us to awesome locations.

    Thanks for sharing the field trip!

    Great video, I took two geology field trips to that area back in the 90s but we never did the black light.

    Wow! Nice UV glowing))

    Come to UT and enjoy a nude soak of Radon gas in a mine. Then refresh in the west desert Natural Radon Hot Spring steam. Beautiful experience and so healthy.

    I’ve tried prospecting mines in the area to no avail, any chance you d PM me the location

    Nuclear industries are genocidal lunatics monsters.Disgusting parasites you are responsible for this extinction Event.One day the world will wake up,then you will be convicted of crimes against humanity, crimes against the ecosystem, and contaminating people.

    That Blacklight sure makes for a cool video 👍

    Awesome video Matt. Great to see you exploring those mines. Love the black light, Amazing Job 👌

    Thanks for your interest and videos.

    Pretty cool man. I want to check it out and get some samples. Thanks for sharing.

    Very interesting.. thanks buddy

    Being that I live in Tehachapi, I know right where you are. Interesting video. What I didn’t know is what they had been mining in that old mine.

  23. TheTravelingbard on October 17, 2021 at 6:05 pm

    yooo i don’t know if you noticed but it looks like the radiation is affecting the video quality! the footage once you get inside the mine is a little grainier compared to similar videos on your channel.

  24. HD shovel Ed on October 17, 2021 at 6:06 pm

    How odd, just checked your channel to see if I have missed any vids and boom this pops up. Those green pieces shine bright.

  25. Arne on October 17, 2021 at 6:08 pm

    Two hazards I see as the most significant; dust particles, calls for gloves and n95 dust mask. Second is breathing in Radon gas, a product of Uranium radioactive decay. Only way to protect in a practical sense is to limit the time of exposure; which is the universal protective measure.
