About Western Mine Detective
On this channel, we uncover the secrets of the West's long abandoned mines and ghost towns. We go further than most, whether it's embarking on several day backpacking trips or driving miles on rutted dirt roads. My goal is to explore these sites and document them in order to preserve their legacy and the history behind them. Tune in on Mondays at 2:30 PM PST to learn about mining history and see rare footage that would otherwise be lost to time.
Be aware, some sites I either change the name or completely omit the name in order to prevent further damage. These sites are sacred to me and many others, if you want to see these places please do the proper research and searching just like I had to. These videos are intended for entertainment purposes only.
*Warning*
I DO NOT endorse entering abandoned mines and structures. Hazards include but are not limited to: bad air, drop-offs, unstable dynamite, rotting timbers, animals and collapse.
Tag along and enjoy the show!
