With underground tunnels ominously named "Gig's Folly" and the "Bad Luck Mine", Paul and I knew we were in for one helluva an exploration of this unnamed, multi-level, abandoned talc and soapstone mine. We were lucky enough to stumble across the mine's hidden portal while exploring a mountainous area in California. The portal, however, was totally collapsed but seemed to have been recently eroded back open by heavy rains. Once we dropped down into the mine through a small, eroded gap, it was apparent nobody had been in the mine for decades. We found the original electrical wiring still hanging in place and tightly wrapped around vintage ceramic insulators. We found several old Shell canisters full of oil or gasoline. We also found a lot of miners' graffiti including lots of their artwork dating from the 1940s. There were no footprints in the mine and absolutely no modern trash left by any previous explorers. This mine was a true time capsule, and we were glad to document it all in this video. Enjoy!
