This Mine Produced 10 Tons Of Gold - They Say There's More
Mar 4, 2025 COLOSSEUM MINE
Out in the remote Mojave Desert, far from civilization, sits the Colosseum Gold Mine—a massive open-pit mine that once churned out gold by the ton, 10 tons to be exact. Today, it's abandoned, quiet, and slowly being reclaimed by the desert. But there's a lot more history out here than just a big hole in the ground.
On this trip, we take a deep dive into what’s left of the mine, explore the old roads and structures surrounding it, and dig into the history of gold mining in this part of California. From the boom days to the shutdown, this place tells the classic story of miners that came, thrived, and vanished.
Along the way, we’ll see:
The Colosseum Mine itself—how it worked and why it shut down Forgotten infrastructure and relics from the mining era The hidden history of prospectors and companies that tried to make it big out here What happens when industry moves on and leaves places like this behind
📍 Location: Mojave National Preserve, CA ⚠️ Warning: Exploring abandoned sites comes with risks—this is for documentary purposes only.
The Colosseum Mine and surrounding areas are under 24 hour surveillance, if you decide to be destructive here you will be prosecuted. Please don't be destructive!
