This Abandoned Copper Mine In Arizona Is Hiding A Fascinating Secret

There’s nothing like stumbling across something unexpected out in the desert, especially when that something is hiding a unique secret. This mine in the Arizona desert was once known as the Copper Queen mine due to its remarkably high amount of copper deposits, and has been abandoned for over a century. Take a look at what the explorers from YouTube channel “Exploring Abandoned Mines” unearthed in its depths.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

The Warren Bisbee (Copper Queen) Mine was once excavated in the 1880s.

Decades of erosion have caused the mine’s portal to shift and fill with debris.

It doesn’t look too promising from the outside, but the inside is a different story.

After having to slide on their backs to enter the mines, the explorers discovered a vast system of open tunnels.

From the cracks in the floor of the mine, you can tell the tunnel was at one time a very wet place.

A strange white mold has begun to blanket some areas of the mine.

One of the tunnels led to an inner chamber where something totally unexpected was discovered.

Check out the fascinating footage of the abandoned mine below for a closer look at the remarkable discovery in the depths of the mine:
