Gold Mine and A Cabin Built Into Boulders

Short and sweet little hike out to this site, but lots of awesome stuff to be seen! Not only was there equipment including a jaw crusher and compressor, but my buddy Trevor and I came across an early 1900's miner's cabin built into large boulders. Even got into a couple holes along the way even if they weren't too extensive. Hope y'all enjoy.

Make sure to check out Trevor's Youtube channel, he does a bunch of cool urban exploration and hiking videos! I'll leave the link to his channel and this video:

What an incredible find, the miner’s cabin is a find of a lifetime! It’s so wonderful that it hasn’t been vandalized or burned up. Even the glass window panes were intact! Incredible!

I can't express how refreshing it is to see that the site hasn't been pillaged and vandalized.
Such a wonderful piece of history. Thanks for sharing it.

Awesome to see young people visit locations like this, yet have the integrity to leave it as your found it. Kudos to your responsible adventuring!

This place reminds me of the old mines my friends and I used to find out in the Mojave. We spent a lot of time out there when we were in our late teens and early 20's. We're in our mid-60's now, those of us who are still alive. It gladdens my old heart to see a place like this still exists, and that people seem to be taking care of it, rather than looting it. It's like a living museum. Please don't tell anyone where it's at. That way maybe, just maybe my grandchildren and your childrem will experience the same sense of wonder we felt when we first came across places such as this. Good work, kid! First class site, first class video. The time and effort you put into finding this place paid off.

It's so rare and enjoyable to see things left alone and not plundered away.

[ToddDunning]

Absolutely incredible, glad you are keeping it secret.

[TheSilmarillian]

nice opal miner here hello from Australia I so wish we had that mining history here

[kenogster]

It always amazes me how they got all that heavy equipment up on the side of a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Awesome stuff.

Cool video. It’s nice to see an old miners cabin that hasn’t been looted and destroyed. I thought some were still out there somewhere but it is really nice to actually see it. Don’t tell anyone where it is because someone would ruin it. You guys are doing what I did in the 80s and 90s Exploring every thing possible. Keep doing what you love. There will come a day when you get too old for this stuff and you will have all of the memories and photos I still get out and explore but I can’t go as far as I used to. Good memories and good friends are never forgotten 👍😎🐾

That little home is one of the coolest things I have seen! Thanks for sharing.

Looking at that jaw crusher I can tell you a few things. The two hubs with the broken spokes was probably another fly wheel. The more mass to the flywheels the harder the rock you can crush. The bearings on either side of the jaw are probably sleeve bearings and the pockets above them were most likely for constant drip lubrication. The mine I used to work at had it's big brother. A 48 inch throat set for 4 inch minus and a 400 hp wound rotor motor. The main flywheel was 9 foot diameter and weighed about 8 tons.

That cabin is fantastic! So great to see it still in such good shape and not vandalized.

Great explore Jerith! Even if the mines peter out, there is always something to find and investigate. Loved the old cabin! Reminded me of what we use to find in Southern Nevada back in the 80's. Their simplicity is amazing and their craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

[AdventuringwithTrevor]

Had a blast exploring this with you 🤙🏻 next time we will coordinate it better hahah

[MichalOlender]

So many things I loved about this video. The info, history, narration, landscape, finds, just a beautiful place and a great video!

[daniels]

This was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Can't thank you enough for taking me along on your amazing adventure. Subbed!

[EternallyThankful-ospz]

Thanks for taking a moment to show us the mechanicals / machinery that was used. As a working class guy, I just love old tools and machines and enjoy looking at then to imagine how they may have worked and sounded for the people that depended on them in years back. Too many explorers just completely skip mechanical rooms and machinery when they do explorations and its such a shame to miss out on showing us that part of the work history. Thanks for taking some extra time - you did great and I appreciate the effort !! ( You earned a "like" and a "subscribe" as well ).

[mrsynister]

What a great find! Awesome video! It's nice that people didn't trash it over the years.
