“TVR Exploring”
I hope that seeing the canyon where this abandoned gold mine is located toward the end of the video gives at least some sense of how remote and steep this location is… The original miners, obviously, resorted to using an aerial tram system. On other steep trails and roads in this area, it is…

Would there still be gold on floors of those caves.😮
The part where you show something white growing at 27:56 in the video has something in the top left corner that looks like a big lump of gold in the wall …..🤔
Wonder whos going to be tasked with cleaning up all these old mining sites
Do you guys ever sample and crush ore or just explore these mines ?😊
Miners are typically slobs. They leave their junk everywhere they go. Insensitive,crude and disgusting in mind and behavior. They begin by wanting something for nothing and end up doing huge amounts of work for practically nothing and what they do get usually doesn't come near to covering the costs. They are not the brightest bulbs on the block.
Even today they go nuts over tiny little yellow colour in a pan that isn't worth 5 bucks.
There is nothing historic,romantic nor interesting about the junk they left nor their litter mentality.
"HAY TVR"
look for a video Iron Mask #2
it was filmed 1990 about an old prospector having to close his mine
blows his Adit up .
You may recognize when you come up too a adit why its like that .
it posted abot 6 days ago
The the states are going. That might be a good places to set up home.
Well Justin and gang so much to see here and rewatching this adventure and had to rewind alot so as to Not miss things and love all the talks along with it ❤️🏆 Looking foward to all adventure s new and old even the older are new if not watched thanks again
thanks guys, stay safe👍👍
My guess about the compressor from the 1990s is that they brought it in by helicopter
Incredible. Everything about that site was worth spending time checking out…everything. The amount of quartz and crystals there is amazing. That tram answered questions, but that wheeled compressor brought a bunch. Looked to me like a Detroit powering it, but not sure. That had to come in on some kinda two track, with a very gutsy guy riding a brake pedal all the way down on whatever was towing it. And no sign of what towed it in, which means they drove it out.
I don't recall seeing a belt driven old compressor like that in such amazing shape in many years.
A beautiful spot indeed, would be a nice place for a cabin.
I love the looks of that 120 year old compressor looks! The way things were were made back in the day and how materials were worked, caused a quality of machines that were just so good
The geology is literally the reason the mine is there to begin with.
Hydraulic mining
Justin, The owner of the crystal mouse palace lives in the metal a frame outside, his ex wife got the palace in the divorce. P.S. Rock mouse is the musician she’s dating.
Nice one. Thanks!
I'm still amazed you are able to find, fillm, and edit all these videos and still squeeze in more research in time for the next week's posting!
I suppose that a helicopter could have brought the air compressor in during the 90s
how would that old compressor have worked?….something drives those big flywheels?
Nice find! That air compressor would make a great will it start footage.
Great find! Reminds me a bit of some of the mines on the west coast of NZ (although those are lot wetter and denser bush).
The "deadend" was just a hologram, push thru to inner earth Agartha. Listen for communications.
That was ace mate. Loved the old compressor. Still in fantastic shape.
Hey justin glad to see you found it use to be a road from the other side in the old days did you hit the old Cemetary on side you came down
Justin I'll promise you there is more gold in that mine. California frowns on Dynamite. Plus today's miners would likely open that into a pit mine like the one near Jamestown. Diesel Fuel and Dozers to move the overburden to get to the good ore.
Justin, I just want to add… For those who are not familiar with those drill bits, the hole in the tip where the cutting cruciform is, the center hole is designed for a Steam Drill. Steam would travel down the center of the drill bit to blow the drilling debris back out of the hole, as the drill drilled the hole. Later designs used compressed air to do the same function as the steam drills. Before the invention of the steam and air drills miners used a similar bit with a hammer. They referred to this as Single Jacking or Double Jacking depending on whether it was two miners per drill or a single miner per drill. If you are in a mine, most mines circa 1850 or earlier this is where you may find the solid drill bits. Most of the steam drilled mines will be circa 1889 or later. Plus most of the operational Hard Rock mines ceased to exist here in California after 1972. The last hard rock Gold Mine in revenue operation was the Empire Mine in Grass Valley, CA which is now a State Park.
The "rock mouse" even had an arrow pointing to a hole!!! In case ya missed it!!
Would love to see that forest in the Spring
Helicopter to get it in
Great explore…Tks for the additional comments on the geology…BIG improvement on your already great videos. Loved the old compressor and air tank relics…shame not more of the tram system exists. 🚢🇬🇧🚂⛏
42:24 that old compressor is in amazing shape. If i had a mule team i would haul it out and straight to a museum
I would be taking samples!
I would make a claim for it if it’s not claimed already!
Very promising looking mine!!! I bet just those walls and quarts on the ground is very rich?
Great spot to stay for a couple weeks and pan for gold or highbanker?
Where’s this place? What state what area?
