Spooky! Exploring Abandoned Mines Colorado
Spooky! Exploring Abandoned Mines Colorado
In search of The Lost Hobo Mine!
Chest deep snow and a harrowing descent into the old abandoned mine shaft!
Is this the squatters fabled gold mine!?
The story goes; “There is a long haired scruffy fellow, living in an abandoned gold mine here in Summit County Colorado. Once a week he ventures into Whole Foods n buys $800 worth of tasty food. He pays with crisp $100 bills and always has a raggedy empty burlap sack tucked into his waist”. He must be selling his high grade gold ore here locally to someone.
I want to find him! and make friends!! Let’s Go!

Out searching for colorado gold camp and leadville paydirt.
Any chance you’d tell me a location? Or even a hint? Understandable if not haha
Great job bro — you explain and show — Thanks
Love this vid, it’s so informative!🙂
Have you heard of any gold mines above the million $ highway in ouray???
Thank you very much for your description of the minerals while mine exploring too few explorers say much while on their explore.
Pretty wild, I don’t think I would go in there..
I’ve only briefly explored old mines in Colorado, but it is quite fun! I am gonna get a toxic gas monitor, and better safety equipment. I would love to explore with you next summer sometime. I’m in Gunnison county but travel around a bit
Must be warm enough for the moths at the ceiling and cold enough to freeze at the floor
I AM GOING TO SAVE YOUR LIFE. GET A BETTER FLASHLIGHT AND USE MULTIPLE LIGHT SOURCES.
The Moths that you touched will never fly again and will die.
That’s crazy who lives in Colorado
👇
What camera are you using??
You shouldn’t touch moth wings, our oils are detrimental.
💪💪💪 sweet awesome adventure
Im a rock-hound, i would love to meet you if you want to go back to this cave
Wow, that was fun! Walking in that heavy snow could not have been easy. I got the chills watching this
Interesting. Good to learn about the minerals down there and the perspective from the original miners chasing the vein.
GPS coordinates please??
Nice find man. I would take some samples from that ore shoot. Looks like the stoped it out but without goin up there we’ll never know. I’d check the ground under the cross ties too. Could have good stuff goin down, but didn’t see any winzes so.?
Love the videos. Hello from Saguache county.
Enjoy your videos, very informative!! I know of a few mines in Idaho springs that I explored as a teenager that go on for miles and miles. Wish I would have known more back then!
This was an awesome video! Had my attention right to the end. I’m kinda binging on your videos now and got three in before I had to remind myself to go comment on the first one lol. Quick question.. I’m in Fremont County (yay..) and I was wondering if you are exploring public land in this video? Are you sure the mine isn’t owned? Around here, people will chase you down just for panning on thier land in the Arkansas River! Kinda makes it hard to pan when all the land on the rivers around here are claimed. I’m a beginner if you can’t tell!
That was awesome man! That would be freaky on your own
It’s called an adit not a tunnel.
Good money in unique stone.
For beads or jewlery
Have you ever found gold when inside one of theses caves?
it would be wise to test this mine, it could be loaded
DUDE!! DID NONE OF YOU SPOT THE KID’S GLOVES?!!! I WOULD REPORT THAT TO AUTHORITIES!!🤔
Wow!! That is crazy! One thing to do that during the spring and summer but winter! Wow impressive!!!
Have you searched any areas in leadville for the fenn treasure? I used to live in leadville and will be moving back very soon.
I didn’t notice this older video. You are a NuT. Thank you for your Gold mining adventures.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,so cool..!…😯……your like a MATLOCK…of geology..dude..your on it,,,,fun to watch now with all that’s happening in our world…….helps to take my mind off it…..very educational…….tnx,pat…land o’ lakes,wi.usa..
Very cool old mine. Hi from Garfield County.
What the hell was that?
If you laced up your boots, your feet would stay drier.
The sound editing is laughably bad and quite annoying/distracting at times. Love the attention to the minerals on in the mine. Most mine explores I watch just flash by interesting rock formations while they look for ore carts and boring stuff. 😉
Thanks for explaining what kind of mineral we were looking at!! That’s very interesting!! Use to live in Colorado springs. Our weekend excursions were usually cripple creek and victor . I can feel
history in old mining towns !! Love the old west!!
I’m new to exploring for different minerals, gems, etc. What advice do you have for a beginner? And also, how do you find open claims?
Excellent! Thank you. Sorry I know your still Buried in snow up their. Beware the sring run off this yr. Be safe
Do you ever go prospecting up left hand canyon in Boulder county if so I’d love to go I been prospecting up there all summer and found a gold telluride. I haven’t been in any mines though just around them
Wow mate what an adventure
We live on the same planet but world’s apart. It’s over 40 degrees C every day by 11 am in my mining area.
I think that was just ice, not stalagmites.
the offshoot was probably exploratory trying to see if there was a parallel vein – which often happens with these kinds of deposits.
Ahhhhh! Frightening! I’m glad you made a video of this…too sketchy and cold for me. I kept waiting to see a bear! I thought your gloves on the ground were bones at first lol
