Opening an old TAOS GOLD MINE

Gold Mine revivals are worth it these days with the price of gold so high. This mine shut down in 1980 when gold was $800/ounce. It wasn't cost effective.There are 150 claims in Taos County but most aren't active. Maybe this video will help people become inspired to create their own story. This is a story of a man and his mine. I did not go into the extensive permit process in this production. . . Stand by for part two as we get farther into the mine and find rooms full of old equipment. The name and location of this mine has been omitted purposely. Thanks to Steve and Michael M. for helping me make this production.
