Found! Secret Gold Mine and Mining Camp Hidden in the Mountains

Found! Secret Gold Mine and Mining Camp Hidden in the Mountains

We recently stumbled upon this secret, hidden, abandoned mine and mining camp high up in the mountains. We explored one mine tunnel as well as the surface structures. A shed onsite contained an old vintage Silvertone radio/record player from 1940, a winch, a newspaper from 1957, and other artifacts. Inside the mine, we found more artifacts used by the miners, and we demonstrate in the video how those artifacts were used by the miners long ago.

    You really have to be impressed when you consider how much backbreaking labor was required to bring all of the mine materials to that remote, high-elevation spot. Just the timbers alone weight tons.

    Anyone else notice the spare needle being in a ziplock bag that looks like one from 2020

  6. Element of Kindness on April 29, 2020 at 4:44 pm

    I can never figure out how they get stuff like those heavy timbers into a place with topography like that.

    Was this a copper mine? Ore looks like copper.

  8. Paninistar on April 29, 2020 at 4:46 pm

  19. kramster20032 on April 29, 2020 at 4:59 pm

    If this is a hidden gold mine, becareful. People that frequent those places want to keep their claim have guns. Those aren’t conducive to a healthy life style guys. Thanks Fer the video it’s cool. 🙂

    I love the humans fascination of pushing rocks down mountains. It’s something we really love doing for no reason but to see it roll down the hill. 😂😂😄

    On the east coast they blasted all of the mining holes so no one would enter.

    could you have taken the radio? it seems like such a waste to just leave it there.

  48. Eddie Joe Gongre on April 29, 2020 at 5:34 pm

    The record player parts you numb nuts were once in a Prince Albert can but someone decided to bring a lunch to their little mine explor party and when finished rattled the tobacco can and said "thats not cool for phono needles ,lets put them in this here plastic sack " Now stop asking stupid damn questions
