Join us as we explore the second half of a multi-level historic abandoned gold mine in part 2 of this video. This mine dates to 1896 with the majority of the development work done between 1902 and 1907. The mine was later worked in the 1930s through early 1940s. Some shipments from this mine carried gold up to 20 ounces per ton. This complex consisted of levels 100 through 700 and the site once had a gravity mill, tramway and some incredible stopes and surface workings.

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!!

    Amazing exploration. Those tight spaces you have to slip through are difficult for me to watch. I’m glad you guys always play it safe. Thanks for sharing. This is really interesting to me

    This is a cool mine. Looks about the same as it did many years ago. Some interesting stuff to see in this one.

    Watch a couple of mine exploring channels. Thinks it’s great as it is near home. Always heard about coal mines. Not very many gold and silver mines. Coal mines were too dangerous to explore. This is cool.

    Oh man I was here with Jeff and Todd with the owner (way back in the day.) They found some awesome stuff down there.

    You should bring whips so that you can swing across the open areas. It's easy -- i saw Indiana Jones do it.
