In this episode we venture inside the most amazing underground mine I've ever seen. It's abandoned for nearly 50 years and everything is still present as it was abandoned. A real time capsule.

Hi, Al. This video is about an abandoned mine in Colorado USA Please show it to people who will like it. Thank you.

That's the most amazing mining/refining facility I have ever seen. It's hard to grasp the enormity of that rusting behemoth lying silent and still in the utter blackness. People walking right over the top it, oblivious to the great monument of industry lying below their feet in it's great halls of stone. Thanks so much for the great work Bob.

It's always calms me down to think, that you must have made it back, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see the video now!😅😅😅

13:02 The long, narrow mills are probably rod mills; the short, wide mills are ball mills. Rod mills produce a coarser product which is then run through ball mills for fine grinding. If the different minerals were used to produce different concentrates, that would be accomplished in the flotation section downstream of the mills. Just guessing, this plant probably produced a lead/zinc concentrate and a copper concentrate.

At 13:48, the rods can be seen inside the mill body!

How on earth do you find this stuff.. I haven't seen this mine on some of the best abandoned mine exploring videos in the U.S.... amazing find.

There are 2 things that always come to mind when I see places like this:

1) It's truly incredible to think that this was all done in the early to mid 1900s without any of the modern equipment/tools available today.

2) You have to stop and wonder exactly how much money in terms of equipment, supplies, or even just scrap metal gets left behind in places like this.

Amazing location Bob, I can’t believe they processed material in the the mine itself!
Very cool, thanks mate. 😎👍

23:51 Anyone else notice, "Jerry sure is smart".
It would be nice if we could get more close ups of the graffiti left by the miners.

Although uranium occurs in several areas of the state, much of the historic uranium and vanadium production is from numerous and relatively small mines in the Uravan mineral belt located in Mesa, Montrose, and San Miguel Counties. This area accounted for about 77% of the total uranium production in Colorado from The Colorado Geological Society

Another great video Bob! Let me know if you guys are still in CO. Would love to meet up with you guys and buy you lunch or dinner before you guys leave Colorado.

Beautiful decay! After the paint flakes off, the metal flakes off - looks sketchy as hell in some places 😬 Cant wait for the second part!

I also appreciate that you run a mic for each of you so we get to hear both crystal clear 👌

It's nuts to think I've lived near cripple creek all my life, and STILL foreigners find the coolest shit I have yet to find... Keep up the good work!

[graffaholics]

This is incredible Bob! Appreciate you taking all of us on your journeys.

I can't get over how much work was put in to create a place like this. Imagine hauling in all that material and constructing such an elaborate place far underground. I would be very concerned about the air quality though and highly recommend a detector/alarm.

[GreyRockOne]

Wow! Like an old shipwreck out of the water, did you ever find how it got its power? Thanks guys!

[johnrhoades]

Would have love to see that place working I'm a fan of machinery and engineering could you imagine the sound in that place with all those machines running

[ide]

I've watched a lot of mine exploration video's, but the camera quality on this exploration is next level!! Thx guys!

[chrisneumann]

Best episode ever!
This mine is a real time capsule, giant and also mystic in a specific way.

Imagine the hard work back in the past to built up this mine in that massive structure... and nowadays it's still intact!

[Jerkabobber]

Wow. Never seen a mine this big and elaborate before. Amazing. I wonder how they got all that equipment down there?
You guys deserve more likes, views and subscribers!

The history of Gilman ended when the mine became unprofitable and also contaminated the waters of the Eagle River with toxic substances. Due to the latter, in 1984 the United States Environmental Protection Agency ordered the town to be abandoned.
