Finding 100 Year Old Levi's In An Abandoned Mine!
Finding 100 Year Old Levi's In An Abandoned Mine!
Blue jeans were created by Levi Strauss in 1873 for miners and originally known as ‘waist overalls’ or ‘overalls.’ These days, original Levi’s are extremely desired by denim collectors and sometimes found in abandoned mines. I’ve been searching for Levi’s up at Cerro Gordo for a long time, and finally found some here!

My Grandpa died when my dad was 3 years old im a mining explosion in Chile. Honestly really cool video but cant imagine what it was like for my grandpa and miners everywhere that did this job and still do it. God bless them all
Dood that machine is so cool
Bro just finished reading Ted the caver
WARNING handling old dynamite is extremely dangerous. It will sweat nitroglycerin that can crystallize or stay liquid and it’s very unstable. Just touching the bag it was in or disturbing it in any way couldve caused it to detonate.
So I wasted my time watching a video and you found no silver,🤦♂️
back in the day….both levis and ben davis pants, were made to last forever….not anymore
The real Indiana Jones
It’s not just going to explode at any minute.
Why does everyone say the dinomite can blow up dont you need a lighter fire or something for it to go off ?
Really an you bump it out on the ground like a dumbass
“This dynamite could explode at any second!”
*Proceeds to dump it out of the bag like Halloween candy.*
Bruh, dynamite sweats as it ages. It will explode from touch alone.
Your buddy isn’t very smart messing with the Nitro like that 😮
Nitroglycerin dynamite won’t explode. If it’s hit, that’s why they put the nitroglycerin in sawdust for the dynamite dynamite is just sawdust soaked with nitro glycerin.
100% staged
There’s my friend dumping out old dynamite on the ground….boom!!
Nice
There’s no amount of money you could pay me to go down in a dangerous abandoned mine
Old nitroglycerin is so unstable, im surprised it didn’t go off when you moved it.
Dynamite is very stable for handling, why did you have the need to lie about it possibly exploding at any time?
Wait the dynamite wasnt removed before they abandoned the mine?
I was a child model and attended a NYC fashion district event and learned in 1990 that vintage Levi jeans can go for hundres and some thousands. What a gem lol
Im curious to know what these old miners were doing in them mines?? Why did they mine with their pamts off?? Wth were they doing down there??
Fun fact, dynamite has an expiration date. The nitroglycerin leaks over time, leaving it just a stick of clay.
That was the day dude shit his pants and you scooped em right up
a bag of 100 year old tnt, "that could explode at any moment", lol, how many moments in a 100 years?
Looks like we solved that pesky DUMPING OUT THE DYNAMITE problem b4 we found the 2nd bag..well done lol😊
My claustrophobia could never
Dybamite doesnt just explode lol
I have zero idea if that dynamite is even stable anymore, or explosive at all, old explosives are not fun
Now this is just my dumbass personally, I’d take all the dynamite I could to the surface and have fun
No blasting caps. Won’t explode unless you produce sparks
Mining is a dirty job, always bring your spare pants.
Since when does dynamite randomly explode? Especially when its a century old…
Please very very careful when handling dynamite. Especially that old. It’s incredibly volatile.
Can i go with you
me that would take the rynamite
Dump the idiotic sound track Indi

Who tf crosses a 100ft pit just to make graffiti
My great, great grandfather was a machinist in New Bedford. He retired in 1910. He passed away in 1926. I come from a long line of devout pack rats. One day Mom says she needs to sell the house and move into something smaller so she sends me to clean the attic. I find a dozen old trunks. One belonged to my great, great grandfather. It was full of tools and clothes. Mostly clothes. I knew it was his because the tools were machinist tools and I also am a machinist. I recognized them immediately and knew they were his from the tools. Most machinists etch their initials in all their tools. I have one complete Sunday suit, two complete coveralls and seven pairs of blue jeans and one jeans jacket. The blue jeans and jacket and coveralls were all made by Levi Strauss. The latest they could have been was from 1910 due to that being his retirement year but I showed them to an expert who informs me that the jacket was from circa 1896, the coveralls were from circa 1896-1899 and two of the jeans were definitely from 1873 and the remainder were from circa 1870’s to 1880’s. All but the jacket and one 1873 jeans had patches. The expert offered me $5000 cash for all of the above. I declined the offer as they are family heirlooms. As it happens my great great grandfather and I are the same size and yes, I have worn all of the above at one time or other. I keep them vacuum sealed in a climate controlled closet in my home along with other family heirlooms. I’m happy to report all his machinist tools are in working condition. It also appears that when I grow out my mustache I am basically his twin. I really freaked out one lady I was on a date with when I showed her "my" picture taken with "me" sitting in the driver’s seat taken in 1915 behind the wheel of a Ford Model T with my then 15 year old grandmother posing in a rather naughty fashion almost like a gangster moll a full five years before the roaring ’20’s. As a joke I told her it I was a vampire and was born in 1845. Needless to say there was not a second date which was just as well because it just didn’t occur to her that it might be possible that I’m not a real vampire.
ill tell you why in one word.

What has content creation become?
Levi’s deserve that pricey….
They were dynamite sleeves, nothing inside.
Dynamite doesn’t just explode it literally has to be set
This is a scam. I hope everyone is well though .
