Underground Gold Mine & Mill In Alaska. Rich Gold!!

In this captivating adventure, Jason travels to Alaska to explore the historic underground gold mine workings from the early 1900s. He’s guided by Josh, a 4th generation gold miner, who takes him on a fascinating tour through his family’s historic mine. As they journey deep underground, Jason receives an in-depth history and geology lesson, learning about the mine's development and the rich history behind it. The adventure continues as they explore the 100-year-old mill building, where the rich gold ore was once processed using vintage gold milling equipment. This incredible location is like a living museum, and Jason is grateful for the opportunity to delve into the legacy and heritage of such an important site. A big thank you to the hosts for sharing their family’s history and for giving Jason an unforgettable experience in Alaska!

I bet his great grandfather never would have imagined his great grandson working and filming on a phone showing the world his hard work deep in the earth 🌎

so much better than anything on TV. Keep it up!

One of the best mine tours, ever! Hoping that young feller get’s to see his future come together on that table you sold him. A fantastic mine that deserves to be revived. Thanx to all involved in bringing us along.

Jason, your best work yet. Sound, video, content, perfect!

[wesbravo]

This is so cool - to work a mine that your great grandfather worked? Amazing. You can tell Josh has pride in what he does.

Thanks for the video Jason! I live about 35 minutes away from this mine down in the valley and I love the history of that area! I've been to the neighboring mine several times, I had no idea this mill was so well preserved compared to the other nearby mines! Thanks to Josh for giving us all the tour, I'd love to see a follow-up video showing the mine/mill in action!

Was a awesome tour. would really love to see a video of it all running and a clean out at end of day.

[krakhedd]

Jason, I love watching ya work and all that too (truly) - but the geology lessons and the faults and explaining how it all is "gold" for this channel, in my opinion!!

[jiplix]

The very best thing I have sat in front of a screen for in ages. Thank you for that Jason

[brandonknight]

This kids inherited a literal GOLD MINE! 😜 I hope he keeps the family legacy going, he has EVERYTHING he could possibly need to be a successful gold miner. Best of luck man!

Nice job Jason. I've watch alot of YouTubers explore old mines and mills, but this is the best were the old and new are all there and now understand how some of that stuff worked, and not just generalized or guess work.

[droberts]

That was a cool tour...thank you Josh for letting us see an old mine still in operation and thank you Jason for sharing it with us!!

[markhall]

What a fabulous tour! Thanks to Josh and Jason for their time showing us around. It was a nostalgic visit for me as I was there back in the early 1980’s as a geology grad student at UAF. The Independance mine was actively engaged in mining at the time and they were using the gold cord mine facilities to support their operation. We stayed in the gold cord bunkhouse overnight with the miners and what a night it was, playing pool in the attic and downing beers with the miners. Your visit reminded me of the incessant rain of water underground. I wondered if some of the ore cars and pneumatic mucker were the ones used in the independence mine when we were there. Thanks again, great tour!

Jason! Glad to see you can still get thru a portal after all those Swedish meatballs! Lol! 😂 Also, it's awesome to see Josh following his family's tradition and eager to put the work in! 💪 In addition, Josh is quite the authority on both the families history in the mine, the complete operation, then and now, and making the necessary changes with more modern equipment! Excellent! Josh you're a monster in the business for your age, for some reason I see another Parker S. in the making! Seriously! Thanks, to Josh & family for your tour, it's been outstanding and thanks Jason for taking us along! ⚒️⛏️⚖️👍👷🤠

[jamesedwardson]

[Zerostar]

What a treat to see such history and all in the family. I hope they continue to strike it rich.

I'm a 48 yr resident of AK, I'VE been dreaming of this episode for 30 years almost. In 96 a buddy from Georgia went up to the Independence area to play tourist and when leaving next to his car an unusual rock caught his eye. The rock was the richest piece of ore I've seen outside of the Smithsonian, probably 12 lbs with visible wire gold all over one end and stray wires here and there over the rest of the rock except one side, the wires tested continuous with my multimeter. The wires were pretty thick and a beautiful bright gold, the rock was showing thin strips of quartz veining that the gold was mixed into. Larry, the finder, surmised that the rock came from one of the waste piles via someone who was metal detecting and they dropped the rock when leaving the parking area. Last time I talked to Larry he was using it as a doorstop for the front door of his home. I think I will call that old lucky bastard and try to get a photo of the rock.
