  • In this video I travel 2 hours North from Las Vegas to Metal Detect the Ghost Town of Delamar. In the late 1800's 2,500 people called this mining valley their temporary home but little did they know that it would become their final resting place for hundreds of them. This mine claimed so many lives that the town was named the widow maker. There was said to be 400 widows in this town at one time. The cemetery here has about 20 visible graves. The rest of them are unmarked. The main street housed 3 banks, churches, saloons, opera houses, schools, and a post office among other businesses. This is my 3rd trip here in search of treasure. You know what they say "3rd times the charm".

    Hey bud! I’ve found two whole Chinese coins at DeLamar. I would be happy to give you one.

      That’s awesome! Did you find them metal detecting or were they surface finds?

    The Paiute people say:"the white man come.Made a lot of noise Then go away." Pretty much sums it up...
    PS... I used to live in the little town of Beatty...Long time ago... The area was filled with ghost towns like Rhyolite...Had to be careful when you're walking around that area because of the several deep vertical pits the miners left... No warning or fencing around those deep holes....☠️

    Great show I like the way you talk through things I like the areas you go to I cannot understand it when people don't do metal detecting like those rockers mud lockers in England where they have a chance to find really old stuff but they don't meddle detect. Your show is great the way you do storytelling

    I'm glad you're intro is short a lot of people that do metal detecting things that wild crazy music will make them seem technical or jazzy but a lot of people watch metal detecting before they go to bed so if they're trying to watch your channel they can't watch it because the introduction to every video will wake them up. Just a thought look at like Green mountain metal detecting and the ones with the loud music don't get very many hits.

    I like the drone footage and music. It also would be helpful to say what month of the year it is what the weather is like when the best time to go there is what routes get you there. Maybe GPS.

    What detector are you using? I have no experience with metal detecting, but thinking about starting.

    thats private property, patented mining claims

    • @1961Duane314
      @1961Duane314 Před 7 měsíci

      Nope. They are rights to minerals not the land.

      You’re Wrong .most of Delemar is patented land . Some Unpatented but mostly private patented land . Look at a land status map.
