Jeff Williams from http://www.askjeffwilliams.com/ shows you that while traveling the Mojave Desert in southern California, we stumbled upon this forgotten Gold Mine. Below are links to other Gold related videos we made. Enjoy Jeff

Ahh, yes I’m familiar with the relationship between nitro and dynamite, how nitro is made, the fillers they used to use, why they rotated the cases regularly, how it leaks out of the filler and sweats out of the tube. The colder the nitro gets the more stable it becomes, you can actually cool it down using dry ice… but we weren’t messing around with it or anything. Just took some pictures and headed on.
It’s not in any of the main areas. We had to climb far down inside a stope to find it
Should of went in I would of went in for sure
Thanks for the warning though =) I love the Tecopa area. Our camping area was 300 feet inside the east portal of the War Eagle. The weather outside was around 115*F, but inside was only about 70*F, with a constant cool breeze blowing through. One night we went in through the west portal and came out through the east (south) portal, then had to hike back up and over back to our car.

A little bit scary looking, doesn’t look like it would take much for it to come down.
We recently did a long trip out in Tecopa, we camped out inside the War Eagle mine and actually found dynamite there too.
If one more person tells me that old dynamite is unstable, I might have to shove a fork in my eye. Thanks for the concern though…. =)
Dynamite which has sat for 60 to 80 to 100 or more years, which has already sweated out and crystalized, and then evaported; is relatively inert. It’s the first couple decades that it sweats out and is still relatively potent which is really dangerous. If someone doesn’t know the difference (that’s most of you), then I suggest you stay away all together.
Ok!! Again
That one stull had about 40 miners wedges holding it in 😆. Git r dun!
Do you ever test any of the tailings or any of the material around these old mines?
🤟
Dude, old explosives are dangerous. Leave them alone. You never know what could happen.
We were in the area a few weeks ago. Thanks for the video!
