1890s Abandoned Mine Dug Open! Rarest Artifact We Have Ever Found!

Don't miss this incredible adventure as we travel deep into the Washington wilderness to a historic abandoned copper mine dating to the late 1890's. We are one of first to explore this historic abandoned mine that had been sealed for 20 years. Watch as we reveal some amazing and rare mining artifacts from the 1890's! You don't want to miss this one.

THE MAJORITY OF THE MINE NAMES ARE WITHHELD OR ALTERED IN OUR VIDEOS TO PROTECT HISTORIC ARTIFACTS AND PREVENT THE SITE FROM BECOMING A NUISANCE SITE. IN SOME CASES, WE HAVE BEEN GRANTED PRIVATE PROPERTY PERMISSION AND WE HAVE BEEN ASKED NOT TO DISCLOSE LOCATIONS.

Many ghost towns, mines and other forgotten historic sites in Washington State have already disappeared from history and many more are being lost each year to the ravages of time, wildfire, vandalism, and intentional closure. In addition to our many years of photographic documentation of these important historic sites we are now attempting to video document as many sites as we can so there is a lasting record of these places for future generations.

We hope you enjoy what we do and will join us on our adventures through a bygone era of Washingtons rich and colorful history. Not only do we love the history we explore and document, but we truly enjoy sharing these sites and experiences with our followers and viewers.

We appreciate you and thank you for Watching!!

Crazy how we’re all not gonna be here one day, and the world will keep spinning for more thousands and thousands of years. I hope you all have a good life and can grow old and happy and cherish your every moment and make the best of what you have.

New subscriber and I am hooked. I have always wanted to hike the mountains and forest around here, now that I have moved back, I have plans to go out exploring this 2025 spring and summer. Nothing like y'all are doing of course but still exploring where I can. Amazing artifacts, the wooden car is so awesome.

now that was impressive to see the compressors and mine cars still in tact that place quite because people will go there and take it all ....love the hand steel wedge bits and good explore

This video deserves a like and a comment. It took a 13 hour hike to film all this, that alone is impressive.

Me and my uncle dug that tunnel open 15 years ago and it looks pretty much the same with the air pipes and the ore cars. Don’t remember all the water in the beginning though. That was the longest hike I’ve ever been worth it to see all the cool stuff.

After now watching the video and personally being able to see what you got to explore for a "bucket list" site there is zero regret on the decision made at the portal for the safety of all who made the trek out. I am both enthralled and excited that you got the opportunity to do this, nice work Tim!.

[Live-ed-G]

Wow! Another great explore!! Thanks so much for documenting this for all of us who will never be able to see this and the other mines you explore. Keep up the great work!

[nicoleraine]

I really appreciate all of the work it takes to reach these sites, and the choice to keep them safe. What a treat to see a first person tour of such a well preserved and extensive site. Your depth of knowledge and interest in the mines and the equipment is evident. I’m somewhat amused by your lack of interest, however, in the actual aim of the mining: the minerals and deposits themselves. I’ve been saying, “no, wait, stop, I want to look at the walls” while all these amazing deposits and veins are going by. What a rare opportunity to see inside a mountain, and at all of those beautiful specimens..

I love this kind of history. And being the first person to go in there for perhaps decades and to touch something that was last held for maybe a century

[f.k.burnham]

Great exploration. I really enjoyed seeing the wooden ore car, a true rarity!

[Hoosier_Boy]

Now that was very cool I'm 71 years old, so I would have needed a helicopter to get in There's no way I would even try to Hike. but I'm really happy you guys did Because we saw a really cool mine thank you so much and you guys are great!

[Mark_The_Magnificent]

Wow, what an incredible experience that all was! Most amazing mine and artifacts, especially the air compressor parts in the beginning of the video. Remarkably well preserved and extremely interesting. Amazing effort indeed!!

[Geoduck.]

Fascinating watching you guys explore those old shafts. LOL no way I would brave entering those.
