Back in the day (80’s) it was rumored that there was a Grower that grew weed in diamond valley and if he caught you ripping off his plants he would brand you RIP OFF on your forehead ! It was over in the area of the mine
I hiked to the mine back in the late 70’s early 80’s when I was about 10 yrs old
I’m 50 now
Nice seeing it again
I remember throwing rocks in it and how they would spark off the walls like flint or ?
I live in hemet !!!! Nice!
Where is that located
They were actually mining for gold as the quartz wasn’t their goal when this was actively mined.
But the quartz sure is a nice
by-product to collect.
That pile of rock that’s at the end of the mine is actually covering a severed shaft that you can climb down into an actual large room if you will unfortunately you kind of have to slide through it and and it wouldn’t be a good idea to do so because there is a dragon guarding more gold,silver,jewels,and diamonds than you would know what to do with anyway. ⛏💁♂️
My home town!
Im literally up here right now for my 2nd time and i cannot find it for the life of me
That’s why TEXAS SUCKS
My grandpa on my mom’s side had family in Hemet, California. His mom, brothers, and sisters all lived in Hemet (other than his oldest sister who also lived in Texas, about 70 miles away from us in Fort Worth area). Every year we’d drive from Texas to California when I was a kid to visit them. We’d stop in Vegas on the way there and back which was the highlight of the trip, but we’d spend 4 or 5 days in Hemet. I don’t really remember much about it, though, other than my grandpa’s moms house and a couple of his neices and nephew’s houses. I doubt I’d even recognize the place if you dropped me off downtown and didn’t tell me that it was Hemet. Id like to visit there again one day. I still have family there, but they’re all distant family that I wouldn’t even recognize if I seen. I remember those trips from my childhood pretty fondly, though. Probably all sorts of things in Hemet like this yall are showing that I have absolutely no clue about. Interesting video!
Watch out for rattlers
"We’re just a coupl’a miners in a mine mining their own business — tryin’a fine a peace of mine. DO YOU MINE?!"
You will get lockjaw
It might be san joaquin county Chinese human services agency.

That was a turmoline mine.
Wow! Almost 6 years ago now! You guys were pretty young; I’ll bet this is a great video to look back on and remember! Are you still exploring?
Great editing job! I know you were young, and you did a good job considering that, but looking back, would you have done anything differently?
Thanks for the video!
Hey guys where exactly is this located I grew up here and didn’t know it was here?? Sick dudes!
People hate ookyong Kim Suzanne gall and Joe Goodwin because they went their merry way and have totally f’d over me and ookyong Kim’s ONLY DAUGHTER SUZANNE WAS MAID OF HONOR AT OUR WEDDING IN DENTON TX.
Because they love the soviet union evidently
What intersection in that in the last part of the video?
I hate Denton texas and university of North texas where I met them in college there.
Where in Hemet is this? I’m from lake Elsinore and I would love to go check this out!!!
Ookyong Kim never helped me one bit raise my daughter because of Suzanne gall and Joe Goodwin from texas
Oh well if it caves in and kills them we are watching
Hey what u kids doing there I used to go there when I was a kid
Thanks guys – I couldn’t do that (too tall and claustrophobic) but enjoy watching others
My wife found dynamite in that shaft in 86. She took it home which promoted the bomb squad and closed down traffic all down state st…., it’s a laughable moment now
Hahaha I’ve been there
She murdered Amanda Cardillo
In nineteen ought and 64 I moved to Hemet, and explored the Soboba Indian Reservation in a ’55 Plymouth I got at 15 years old for $100.00
if your going to be exploring in hemet take dads glock. nice video.
They didn’t mine quartz there. It was a gold vein. Be very careful last time I went in there I was about 25 feet in and almost stepped on a coiled up rattlesnake.
Who? David Tanner and his wife Tiffany?
Seeing that tunnel go on and on made my feet cold.
I love going to hemet every day for the past 9 years and always wanted to know whats in there thx!
The good quartz .. you know the long crystallized specimens people actually buy .. is about a hundred miles north of you .. in clay .. in the side of a hill .. no adits needed 😬
Where is that at
So does texas evidently.
They murdered my family.
Interesting, and great intro music. Thanks for sharing.
Did you guys have any static on your video when you edited it? Like audio glitches and static?
Hemet13 Exploration foos

Ayyy that’s were I live
Lol I was there today I ate crap
That’s quite a hard rock mine for quartz.
Wow! I never knew this. This is my property and I have signs that say "private property" and people are continuing to ignore it. I have these kids pictures now and I’m going to see if we can file legal prosecution agains you or take legal matters against trespassing. Everyone, stay away!
How can I find this spot that looks like a cool hike
