We have explored hundreds of minines all over north America. Going places nobody else would dare to go. We do this for two main reasons. First to document the mines for future generation. Mines are being filled in and collapsing at an alarming rate. Second to collect artifacs for our museum. The museum is open to the public and we don’t charge an admission. Come for a visit! https://www.google.com/maps/place/Exploring+Abandoned+Mines+Museum/@49.0112021,-118.4203015,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xe6442ed6471acf4!8m2!3d49.0112021!4d-118.4203015

A EUCLID 98FD or 100FD is my guess at what those doors are from
27.12 – you start to feel the beer? LOL. Beer is like wine, the older the better, I would have drunk that bottle of beer too, Frank :). Nice video, very massive mine. Did you find some emeralds in that mine, or did they take it all?
Lovely thank you
Great yt Channel greetings from the netherlands
I’m pretty sure that beer was an offering to whatever lives in the mines. Actually now that I think about it it was probably meant for Frank. Man basically lives in mines already.
The Jersey Emerald property is located in southeastern British Columbia at latitude 49°06’N and longitude 117°13’W (NTS 82F/3), 10 kilometres southeast of the community of Salmo. The claims cover an area of approximately 4,000 hectares between the Salmo River on the west and the top of Nevada Mountain on the east, and are bounded by Hidden Creek on the north and the South Salmo River on the south. Year round gravel roads and power lines cross the property and water is plentiful. Underground workings of the historic Jersey and Dodger deposits are in excellent condition allowing for future underground access with little rehabilitation. http://www.apxresources.com/s/Jersey_Emerald.asp
I really find that yellow spotlight irritating.
Felicidades de un ex minero de minas de carbón y fosforita saludos BCS mex
That beer was for the knockers I hope you left them something else
My kind of mine exploring! Another great video, I am addicted to the channel and been watching for a week straight! Come to Oregon up out of Oakridge area. Lots of mines up that way.
Next time I go explore an old mine I’m going to leave a beer for a future explorer.
so you dont think you could find some emeralds? lol i would think theres gotta be some left?Whether in the leftovers or something else?
I love how ya drank that beer 🍺 Cheers from Canada
A bit like the Welsh slate mines but much less beauty in the way the slate is cut in the old workings. Edit: still fucking awesome though! Thanks for the upload of such a gargantuan mine!😯
I’ve always wanted one of you mine exploring lads to do this in one of the huge modern mines, This video was an absolute treat i just wish it was longer haha! Great work Frank 👍
Hey frank its been a while but ive been trying to catch up on your videos this video was really cool to be able to drive in a mine my compliments sir be safe
It would be a great place to film a caveman movie
Takes a drink of the beer…….."YUCK!!!
Takes another drink……then finishes it.
I would LOVE to bring my Suzuki DRZ400 in that place. Its a 4stroke dirt bike with lights and storage. That would be fun.
Mine Mangers For Sure Drinking Coronas..LOL
Awsum Massive Mine 👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
Im not a minee buy where the tire was is tool shed and shop u can see the weld torch table id love to have that table
Thanks Frank
Nice!
Lmao next cut he’s still holding that beer bottle drinking it hahahaha fuckin Savage!!
Always 5 star exciting videos that just get better and better .. Thanks and stay safe !
How do you know someone didn’t piss in your beer Frank.
@Exploring Abandoned Mines After drinking that 15 yr old beer, you’d be walking behind me for a little while!!!!!!! lol Awesome explore Frank!!!!!!! Several parts of that mine look like they’d be stable enough for someone to live in for quite some time.
i get so much anxiety watching these because i’m claustrophobic but i still love these videos
I heard that the Jersey Emerald was being considered as a nuclear and radiological waste facility.
Love you and your vids, friend. When you forget an item, I always think, why not make out a list of essential gear and then just check every item off before your depart?
Watched a few video’s with some beers last night 👍
you guys are carrying gas meters arent you? Or oxygen quality alarms? Something to ensure your not breathing in something bad? lol
Minecraft in 8k :
Wait, how you gonna take that car out of there?
This is Jersey in what state? I was looking for abandoned mines in Southern New Jersey the state? lol
Epic quest to find beer that ain’t been touched by covid19
Massive "ballrooms", massive pillars, huge stopes, and the adets are roadways. What a huge operation this was. Thanks for giving us all a look inside.

Another way of exploring a mine is to do it while having a beer. Cheers!
Good Idea using the side by side, glad i thought of it
This sure is truly a huge huge mine, since it was edited for us sakes. Back to the buggy, side by side. That beer hasn’t made you ill, did it. Not bad for being 15 years old. Huge Ballroom. Easy come, easy go.
great video !
There are puma’s in Jersey! Not just bear! hehe
I distinctly remember warning you about finding cold beers and bologna sandwiches in mines. Those packrats are looking for your weakness.
You think about all the men that worked in that mine for all the years they did,all the life these mines had and now they’re just quiet dark and lifeless…kinda sad.
When the aliens invade you’ll want to know this guy………..
I remember going there back in 2012, with the BCLS
Nothing beats drinking a nice cold abandon mine beer after a day of exploration.
Is this near salmo? My dad grew up until the age of ten in the jersey townsite. They moved away in 67
I think Can-Am made an electric quad at one time. Don’t know if they still do.
