1890s Abandoned Mine Dug Open! Rarest Artifact We Have Ever Found!

Published 2024-06-21
Don't miss this incredible adventure as we travel deep into the Washington wilderness to a historic abandoned copper mine dating to the late 1890's. We are one of first to explore this historic abandoned mine that had been sealed for 20 years. Watch as we reveal some amazing and rare mining artifacts from the 1890's! You don't want to miss this one.

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!!

    This video deserves a like and a comment. It took a 13 hour hike to film all this, that alone is impressive.
  • After now watching the video and personally being able to see what you got to explore for a "bucket list" site there is zero regret on the decision made at the portal for the safety of all who made the trek out. I am both enthralled and excited that you got the opportunity to do this, nice work Tim!.
  • Wow, what an incredible experience that all was! Most amazing mine and artifacts, especially the air compressor parts in the beginning of the video. Remarkably well preserved and extremely interesting. Amazing effort indeed!!
  • I am impressed and pleased that you looked at all the artifacts with your eyes and not with your hands! Enjoyed the video

    Great exploration. I really enjoyed seeing the wooden ore car, a true rarity!
  • @Geoduck.

    You can tell you're in Washington when it even rains inside tunnels :)
  • @jennikeane641

    You've got more intestinal fortitude than I do walking up in that excavation with the decaying wood shoring. Cool video
  • @scottalpine
    That was quite the trek out there and seeing the two ore carts was awesome. Two carts in one mine and one being wood….may be be the only place in western Washington with that.
  • Thank you for exploring this. amazing old mine, you are one very gutsy guy !
  • @akachuck99

    Been in several caves myself but never any that difficult to access or that fascinating inside. Thank you for bringing us along with you. Be safe.

    That entryway looks like it's ready to cave in. You got guts going in there.
