Description: Here in Part 2 of this abandoned mine exploration, we explore some lower levels in the abandoned Empire Mine and discover a trove of artifacts including an ore cart and a drill stand. We also found some old fuse cord. Outside, a discarded blower from the 1920s or earlier was laying on the side of the waste rock pile. The Empire Mine was a copper, silver, lead, and zinc mine that operated in the 1920s. We enjoyed exploring its century-old workings on multiple levels. Nick and Traci from the Miner49er channel joined me for this exploration, and their channel is located here: youtube.com/channel/UC5-1Mf2hhH-vo_uGT4lBC6w Be sure to stop by Nick's channel and check out his videos of abandoned mine explorations.

We also found an enormous hoist room with a large hoist and winch still in place! #ExploringAbandonedMines #AbandonedMines #MineExploring #UndergroundExploration
