Crossing The CHASM OF DOOM Near the Swastika Mine

In this episode I take you into a well known abandoned mine in central Arizona and poke fun at a handful of my subscribers who like to complain. Abandoned & Forgotten Places Documenting mines like never before. Let’s take abandoned mine exploring to the next level!

Leave a Tip in our Awesome Tip Jar :) Welcome, and thank you for stopping by our channel! Shot almost entirely in 4K! ...so turn up those video settings! On this channel I go deep... REALLY deep into abandoned mines and tunnels all throughout the western United States. I researched some of the harder to find mines and hike or 4x4 back into them to explore and reveal their hidden secrets. Many of these remote locations are filled with cool artifacts, antiques and unique geology that will have you guessing as to why the old prospectors worked so hard to find gold, silver and other minerals. A&FP moves just a bit slower. I discuss why the miners chose these sites and I try to point out the geology and minerals that got them excited. Veins of quartz filled with gold and silver made many men loose sleep in the 1800’s and early 1900’s and modern prospecting still does to this very day. Dangers? Oh yes, there are allot of dangers associated with old mines. Un-exploded dynamite, blasting caps, bad air, bats, spiders and snakes all find their home in abandoned mine shafts and tunnels. Oh, and let’s not forget rotting timbers, flooded passages and collapsing rock! I take abandoned mine exploring seriously with all the proper safety equipment, training and experience necessary to do this activity as safe as possible but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun along the way. “Gly”, your host and his band of crazy characters “Old Bob”, “Quackers” and “Bobbie” are sure to brighten your day with there comments and silly antics. Heck, they may even give you a chuckle or two. Just like Saturday morning cartoons before the internet was invented, Abandoned and Forgotten Places uploads each Saturday at 7:00AM PST.
