Abandoned & Forgotten Places
Documenting abandoned mines like never before!
Let's take abandoned mine exploring to the next level!
With your support you can help make this the best abandoned mine exploring channel on KZhead!
Shot entirely in 4K! ...so, turn up those video settings!
On this channel we go deep... REALLY DEEP into abandoned mines and tunnels all throughout the western United States. We researched some of the harder to find mines and hiked or 4x4 back into them to explore and reveal their hidden secrets. Many of these remote locations are filled with cool artifacts, antiques and unique geology that will have you guessing as to why the old prospectors worked so hard to find gold, silver, and other minerals.
A&FP moves just a bit slower as compared to other mine exploring channels. Gly discusses why the miners chose these sites and he points out the geology and minerals that got them excited. Veins of quartz filled with gold and silver made many men lose sleep in the 1800’s and early 1900’s and modern prospecting still does to this very day.
DANGERS? Oh yes, there’s allot of dangers associated with old mines. Un-exploded dynamite, blasting caps, bad air, bats, spiders, and snakes all find their home in abandoned mine shafts and tunnels. Oh, and let’s not forget rotting timbers, flooded passages and collapsing rock!
Gly takes abandoned mine exploring seriously with all the proper safety equipment, training, and experience necessary to do this activity as safe as possible but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun along the way. “Gly”, your host and his band of crazy characters “Old Bob” (Gly’s Jeep), “Quackers” (Gly’s duck) and “Bobbie” (Gly’s hula girl) are sure to brighten your day with their comments and silly antics. Heck, they may even give you a chuckle or two.
Just like Saturday morning cartoons before the internet was invented, Abandoned and Forgotten Places uploads each Saturday at 7:00AM PST. (that’s 10:00AM for you eastern folks) so don’t forget to click that subscribe button and bell icon to receive notifications of new episodes!
Please LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT! All these things help grow our channel and your financial support helps us find new locations and helps put fuel into “Old Bobs” tank. Old Bob, thanks you!
Ok, now for the ugly stuff...

Thanks Gly, every time you say "I'm gonna show you the shaft" I turn into my 13 year old self and giggle!
Ya, giggle.
😂
The drone is worth it's weight in gold.👍
Absolutely beautiful day Gly! Everything turning green and great weather, can't get much better than that! Swinging that big rock buster brings back plenty of memories out rockhounding with the family, and what a find to get tired out on! Just beautiful minerals! Thanks for another great adventure and amazing views. Always look forward to what comes next!
That was a lot of Galena Gly. Not only the Galena was beautiful but the desert was ready to open its wonderous display of beauty. Thank you for sharing with us all and take care of yourself.
Welcome back Bucket, good to see you back. Remember you still have to be a gentle bucket and let Laura have the front seat.
Back when I was a young man, I slabbed large silver galena rocks into 1/2" slices and set them in a walnut 4' x 6' frame mounted to marine plywood and filled it with Clear resin and made a table. Absolutely beautiful. The area you were in today looks mighty familiar to me. Last time i was there was in the early 70's. Sure was nice to see it all again.. Thanks for the adventure.. Be safe.
Thanks gly once again ! Picturesque of my childhood by the Vulture mine...(Wickenburg ).. ALSO SHOWING , how hard those miners worked on those tunnels ! Yes , some dynamite , PICK , SHOVEL AND SLEDGEHAMMER !😂
Orbit's for Orbit's 👀 get em Gly!!!; )
Welcome back Bucket!!! Be nice to Laura!!
Its a hearty welcome back to Mister Bucket. Gly is just a side show.
“Gly”: He’s always stealing my thunder.
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Not abandoned and not forgotten - The bucket.
Wow Gly, what beautiful scenery. Love that little drone. You do such terrific work with it. Thank you for another great video. 😊
Welcome back Mr. Bucket! We've missed you!
Variety is the spice of life! Thanks for the ride along!
Another great explore Gly. Yeah, we don't need to go underground, every episode. Not, when there are so many cool things, laying about on the surface.
You have good friends who help out. What about that hanging man on the bar. I like you showing us new stuff. Whoa, that is a road less traveled. Beautiful drone footage. You swing that sledge like a champ. What a beauty of a specimen. Thanks Gly, you made my day.
“Gly”: Thanks! I’m happy you enjoyed this one. 👍
Great video and fantastic rockhounding, Gly! Your drone work is exceptional, as well - we look forward to your geology lessons using aerial photography and then ground exploration, as well as your mining technology and history information. Keep up the great work - we love it!
Fantastic. I really enjoyed the variety. I am glad you explain about stuff. Thanks.
Love the desert in the springtime. I was kind of expecting the Benny Hill music while you were splitting that rock open.
Gly - professional boulder breaker! Beautiful scenery too. Thanks for the video.
Great to see you back,beautiful galena rocks,great video as always,see yer next week ❤
Gly, how do you find your way back to civilization, when in these places? Bread crumbs as you go, LOL
Hey Gly. I was thinking that a great song to play while you were making little rocks out of big rocks would’ve been “working on a chain gang”. As always you threw out another great video and can’t wait to see more. Thanks for your hard work and for sharing it with us
Cool stuff, Gly!
Nice! Re-visiting older episodes locations is what I've been waiting for.. For exactly those reasons!
Another FANTASTIC Adventure!!!! Your skills with the Drone amaze me and how you can maneuver in and show stuff up close!!!! Love the area your in from the air and what you can see of the terrain and expand your area of adventure.
My Saturday is complete. Thanks Gly!
Always love the drone footage. You sure are getting good at flying that thing, up real close and everything.
Another great episode Gly, I think Laura should come back in april dressed as the Easter Bunny 😂✌❤🙏🍻🇬🇧
Hello Gly , awesome re adventure . New things to see with all your new equipment . That would be an adventure going down the incline shaft , but risky and dirty. Be safe , can’t wait till next weekend!👍🏻
"Nooooo, I just came out of it" were the last words from the rock falling into the shaft.
We have learned lots from u and jeff williams ..great content and verry thorough detailed explanation.thanks so much b safe..take care
Hi friend Gly , Australia Watching . This area is so nice, filled with awesome views and l just love the tracks , reminds me of my old 1984 KTM 595 stroked single cylinder 2 stroke trial bike days . Todays drone work is so awesome . See now how smart your vision was to get them for the channel . After years of walking looking for new mine are gone . Great way to find new mine gems for the channel . Sub not going up?????????. This is wrong . Love this episode ; think l mite watch it again . Keep well and safe . look forward to next week .
Ghost towns are abandoned places too. Have at it Gly, show us everything old and abandoned :)
Just got my Abandoned & Forgotten Places sweatshirt from Gly's shop - super fast shipping, highest quality manufacturing, awesome customer service, and amazing graphic designs! What a great item to wear to Easter Jeep Safari later this month in Moab - we'll be advertising for Gly with some great swag!
I miss those Gly's shorts. Ought to be something you can do one on.
I just love these drone shots, we are to get snow this Tuesday in western Canada.
Dude, excellent haul! Hard work pays off. Look at all the Beauties 💚💚💚
So thrilled to find your channel. My husband and I are retiring next year and are hitting the roads of Nevada and Arizona, to find mines and to search out rocks and miners (rockhounding) in our 1962 GMC 4x4. Something that I'm not sure if you know about is that there are mines thar contain Uraniums. You should be able to find a map of those mines for each state on state government websites, as the mines are not marked at their locations. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!!!
I love Arizona, i miss that place.
Thanks for the video. Looks like you got some good specimens.
I love me some Galena. 😍
Reminds me of some of the 'roads' (?) in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. LOL
Hahaha, nice Tann Bucket! Cheers Gly 😂😂😂 ✌❤🙏🍻🇬🇧
Nice little adventure, Gly, beautiful country . It's time to get the rope out and go where now one has ever been . Pete Australia 🇦🇺
+Thanks Gly, I finally won an auction! You are appreciated friend.
Go Gly, goooooo!! Also, hey bucket, totally love your tan!
Great adventure! I think you might have missed an additional at 29.19 hi up on the hill in the background.
taunt taunt I like the Taunt👍👍
Very nice indeed….im glad your back
Nice to see Old Bob in his natural environment. Thanks for sharing, Gly. Stay safe.
Flowers are out for a couple weeks in Calif, its early.
Good hammer swinging Gly! That'll get rid of those spare pounds!
Thank you very much. Beautiful day. If you get some size around the same shape maybe I could buy some and make some jewelry out of them. Just thinking. You gave me a nice outing. GOD bless you and stay safe.
Fantastic! The whole place has so much galena! Slightly suspect how meticulous you broke that big rock to little ones... Ever in an old timey prison? ..lol.. Great show! Thanks
Years of chopping wood in Wisconsin and Wyoming probably to stay warm😊
Yay, Bucket!!!! But, when Laura gets back, you may need your own channel.
Ok Gly, spill the beans are you and Laura sitting in a tree kiss.......😂 America wants to know. 😂😂❤
Another great one gly!
“Gly”: Thanks!
Another great show. Wish I was there.
Gly, when I see you all geared up, I just can't imagine you doing a do-si-do. I guess anything is possible though. Be good and safe my fave mine explorer!⚒
“Gly”: The last time I do-si-doed I got complaints from the neighbors.
Greetings from the BIG SKY
Hidden Diggie Diggies 😎🌸
YeeHawww!!🎸🎸
Howdy Gly. at 23:40 you say."let me get around this MESQUITE bush", fyi it's a CREOSOTE bush... not nitpickin' just thought you'd like to know
Bucket is back!
cordless roto hammer would make quick work of that sir. that or a 4lb sledge with short handle and a masons chisel to concentrate the blows 👍
Good morning ,, Gly . Old Bob is now fully stocked, locked, and barrel.. The future is looking bright gotta wear shades😂. Gly after all that hard work did u find what u were looking for 😊. What an adventurous time u had. Thank you for the natural look.
“Gly”: You can tell I was having fun that day. 😃
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces yes,,, as any little boy would.😊👀😎😏
Looking a little pale still Mr. Bucket, but good to have Ya back. Howdy Gly, nice explore.... thanks ⛏⚒⛏ Hey Bob🚙
Get it???? lookin alittle pail. ha.
Oh, wow! Pretty stuff. But too much work for me, super dude, gly coolness.😊
Gotta have me Desert fix!!
Bucket's tan looks great...welcome back from vacation 😅😂
That s a bullshit bucket,, that’s why it’s the color you see it as. It’s true color 😊😂
@@tinadelwiche416 eww🫢😁
Glad to see you don't have that Big Box, Fake orange tan. Oh yeah, morning Gly.
Was this site on the, “bucket list?” 😂
...👍🏾🙏👍🏾✨✨✨HEY BOB... THOSE SOME GOOD LOOKING ROCK YOU BROKE DOWN INTO A LOT PIECE AND THAT DEEP HOLE ...NO i WOULDN'T GET CLOSED TO THAT HOLE BY DROPPING THAT ROCK DOWN THAT HOLE BUT IT WAS DEEP AS YOU SIR CONTINUALLY STAY UP AND STAND GRATEFUL AND LOVES AND SAFETY AS I WILL SEE YOU IN YOUR NEXT VIDEO SO OKAY LATER SIR...✨✨✨👍🏾🙏👍🏾...
Had an idea, mini crane that mounts to your trailer hitch with a remote that would let you lower yourself down some of these incline shafts.
What about using that rotating torpedo camera you've used in the past.
MC Hammer has to take a back seat today. Can't touch that.
You could have used the Schnozzo-Vision on that Vertical Shaft;
Did I see a little copper on the margins of the main vein? That shaft looks like Schnoz territory.
Surprised that shaft doesn't have some sort of steel grate cover, so people don't fall in. Maybe you could rig up something that could span the hole with a spool of rope and lower a remote-control camera down in there instead of roping in yourself. seems like it would be safer.
Nice bustin' ! Don't remember offhand but does that shaft intersect with the workings you investigated before? If no, would you come back when Laura gets there and rope in? Looking forward to the revisitations.
May I make a suggestion for your website? Change categories to store or merchandise. Something that will help your viewers find your merch.
@Gly ... In suspense now !! Any chance you could bottom that incline shaft and let us see whats down there please? Back in the day I would be down there like a rat in the drain pipe
“Gly”: Oh, I have much better places to explore in the coming weeks. You’re gonna love it, stay tuned!
@@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces Surly will
Just imagine breaking and hauling that out daily. Talk about tough!
That deep inclined shaft looks like a job for a camera on a rope tp be lowered into. Didn't you have a contraption like that gly?
You might want to look into a hammer drill and the mine dynamite sticks about 2 to 3” long and an 1/8” round. Would make quick work of that rock with less work?😊
Could you demonstrate how they dug those shafts that are vertical and 150-300 ft. Hoists, buckets, sweat, blood.
Neal Anbob was my neighbor.
Run and rerun add drone footage and run again.
Are you and Laura going to look into this late
Gly, have you ever been to the Oatman mine in Arizona?
Around 3:04 any of those "Risky" Maneuvers the "Dippy-Do," the "Wiggle-Woo" or the "Butt-Pucker?"
Hey Gly... what's happened to the hula girls skirt ? The poor girl is driving about half dressed..
Do you know how much lead and silver is in it? That’s enough for a assy?
Can you tumble and polish the Galena, or is it to crumbly or soft ?
What kind of tires do you run on the jeep ?
Thanks for the video. Can you reveal where this is located?
That should be covered!
What happend to the snozzelator 5000 ?
Hey Gly, what ever happened to Mr. M ? 🙂
Do you ever find geos?
Where's the Snasalter? Spelling?
