He's the real deal, if he did make more CZcams money, you KNOW he would just drag more old iron home. I explain it to my wife like this: it's tough to have a person be really really good at fixing stuff, without them tinkering on old junk, so she gets to look at my yard art, but when the furnace breaks and it's -40° outside, I can fix it in like an hour, vs having to wait till 2026 for a repair guy to come fix it.
Hahaha love it. The 80 year old English you tuber Garage Racing has so many spares it takes him a day to check his stock before going buying stuff...its all in front of me bro'.
It will cost the previous owner too much to clear. The work and transportation will cost more than the value. I hope he keeps it all besides of potential chemicals in the "keep out" box
Actually, he can make enough money with what's left there to pay for the property. Those diesel engines, generators, ect. are still worth money. Lot's of scrap metal too, although the prices are a little low right now.
The bins with the train coupler are ore cars used underground. Look like 5 ton cars. If they have a wheel on the side its a camel back side dump. They were usually pulled with a large battery powered locomotive.
You are an interesting human being! I like your view on things that most people would consider junk. Lots of good ideas come from your channel and I'm really impressed with your know how. You live a life most of us tinkerer's could easily envy. I would be genuinely be interested in your worldviews. Anyway i really like this channel and i enjoy your "can do" attitude " and skill set. Keep up the videos as i no longer really enjoy the videos of the CZcamsrs that have made it "big". There is a lot to be said for those that can do much with what they have. Thank you Sir!!
I'm here for it; I cleaned out hoarder homes for 15 years, and worked at a rock quarry/sand mine that doubled as a racetrack sometimes..and had an 80 acre recycled materials section...so you could say this is right up my alley. Not to mention this is one of my favorite YT channels, thanks man.
I used to work on those air cube compressors on offshore oil rigs back in the seventies/eighties.Fantastic machines. Huge output. Need to use turbine oil in them to stop the valves coking up.
Were the ones you worked on Joy compressors? I worked for a compressor repair contractor and he had a Joy cube looking compressor in the back corner of the warehouse. He was a Joy company service man.
I found your channel about a month ago and I watched every single one of your videos in order. I'm glad I caught up! I'm really looking forward to the new stuff this year.
Low-Buck Garage and Pole Barn Garage are becoming two of my favorite channels and I'm not a mechanic. EDIT : That property you bought with all the rusty gold is like Heaven ! I can only imagine cruising around on your ATV going on a treasure hunt and finding it !!!
Man, that place is heaven! You have a live time worth of content now! The metal alone is worth the cost! I got a storage barn next time over few years ago to clear my home. Now I spent several times a month dropping and picking up “stuff”. You will end up with two sets of everything also. Have fun!
What a cool piece of property! I know that it is a long way from "civilization" but that is one of its best features. You can do all most anything you want to do out there! I would be thrilled to have something like this. If your RV bus can handle the road to the property, you could live on your property part of the time if you wanted to! Anyway, thanks for showing us around and please keep us updated on the progress out there. 😊
I'm four plus hours from my storage. I hate the drive there....but once I arrive......glorious! Here is what happened to me. I went from being scared to leave something of value..... to wishing I could take everything to storage and only bring back the things I was working on. Happy New Place in the New Year!
I bought a place like that about 20 years ago, all it had was fields woods and a 100+ year old barn. Still enjoy going there and playing with the tractor, dump truck, bucket truck etc. Your new place comes with a lot more stuff!!! It will make an excellent off-grid retirement home once the kids move out.
Big metal cone on top. Curved glass walls underneath. Seems like you could scrounge up some metal beams, etc., for the structure! Going to need a boom on the half track.
The important thing about stuff is that you can never have too much of it. You may have the wrong stuff, but that just means you have to have more stuff. To make sure you have the right stuff. When you need it.
That big thing is for air conditioning they put them on a roof and they were like a Radiator and the system use ammonia to make it work. But that was years ago. So happy you found this place great video.
as for those big cone things maybe just stand them up and cut a door in them looks like they'd make a decent little storage shed That place is going to be awesome I can't wait to see all the things you're going to do there
Free, is always better. Casually mention to the previous owner that it they "dont want to worry about cleaning the place up, they can just leave it" you sir, are now set for life with the "low buck garage" theme. Soooo much stuff, needed a place to store "said stuff" so you bought a place with more stuff! Absolutely genius! 👍👏
Pressure vessel at 15:58 is made by autoclave engineers, they have been building HP stainless vessels like that since the 1930’s, submarine tech and reactor tech too. That needle valve on the end is still commonly used today and its end connection is good for 60,000 psi.
my idea would be to make a "small town" out of all the stuff that it can be more organized, so there would be a furniture store(put all the kitchen ranges, fridges, sinks etc,) hard wood store( all types of wood that isn't rotted, some tables, chairs) hard wear strore( scrap metal, drums, glass) engine yard, and then a car renovation/repair shop near where a race track in the future would be. maybe even check if there is a long enough strip to make a drag strip/ Runway. could be pretty fun
Your going to need an excavator with grapples and semi truck with big trailer The glass would be cool for a greenhouse or a house built into a hill. Excavator to dig out the hill. Got furniture too… hmm so much potential.
Just fell into Heaven!! Plenty of project starters and projects not to start. How could one average home brew mechanic stumble into a candy store like this!! Amazing!! I don't know what you are keeping or scrapping out, there is a piece I would be interested in buying if possible.
Looks like a good buy. Nice to have all that material and the land. Enough projects there alone to add to your to do list. Lots of fun. You'll be able to build a great commentary box for the race track from all the glass!
I need to live next to an abandoned mine, that place looks awesome. I'd keep all the junk and drag it to one corner and call it a day. I'd try to get the ghost town as part of the deal too.
My OCD wants to organize that mine equipment yard. LOL! For those thinking all the metal is worth big money, price steel scrap Vs gas or diesel. It would cost more in fuel than he would recoup in the scrap metal unless he finds a loads worth of copper or aluminum. You may have to do a lien sale action on what's left in the sheds, but those were nice shiny new locks, so I suspect they want what ever is inside. I hope they come and haul it off soon so you have the storage shed space to use. Hopefully whomever they pay to haul won't take your quad too!
I have the same exact Hotpoint fridge in immaculate condition and it's still in use to this day, best beer fridge ever! Also, if those air cubes end up for sale I will take every one of them!
Told my wife about your move of the collection and she said "No!" . When I showed her the gorgeous property she said "Hell, no!" and her comment on the scrap metal and assorted goodies was "Absolutely, NO!". I am not quite sure but it almost sounds as if she was not on board with me entering the scrap business. On a more sincere note, not knowing what the scrap metal prices are in your area, but methinks you make the "used car price" of the property back relatively easily with the stuff that is there. Large electric motors, pumps and the 2 inch steel plate usually bring good money.
Lets hope the previous owner doesn't clear your stuff off the site . That's one hell of a bargain by the sound of it ! Are you moving there for good? Hold on to your old place until the developers NEED your land , then they can pay you BIG BUCKS for it . I enjoy your videos , thanks for sharing and good luck with your new place
Love all your videos. My Dad was a farm kid and learned to fix almost anything and everything from his Dad, Uncles and Granddad...all dedicated hoarders. I'm more of a city kid but learned my DIY and Fixit skills at his knee. I'm now retired and have been looking for a reasonably priced worn out flat fender jeep to tinker on but they've become stupid expensive in my (northern outskirts of Phoenix) area. Still looking in an ever widening area. Your videos are both entertaining and instructive. Please keep it up
Cool as $hlt! I wouldn't have the previous owner remove anything. That's a lot of scrap but if you have to truck it a couple hours to a yard... then probably not worth that much. Need a semi w/ trailer for next project! Really happy for you man! Can't wait to watch and see what happens!
Love the new property. So whatever you don’t use as far as metal, you could scrap the not so useable metal and it would pay probably close to half of the property cost, just a thought. Lots of stuff there that could be used for future projects. I look forward to seeing more videos of the old mine property.
Nice Find/and buy. like you said some people think your junk is Eye Sore. but hey it's yours, you do necessary thing to find land move your junk too, but I think that stuff going be their till you pay then guy going sit till the scrap price go up, then you're going be inconvenienced when the previous owner decide it time to profit. so should have negotiated deadline or you Forgit it....
That would be my kind of dream property. I am willing to bet, that the previous owner is going to leave a lot of that stuff up there for you to sort through at your leisure. Happy New Year..
Oh ya! that's a gold mine of another kind! I used to dream of owning a junk yard out in the middle of nowhere so i could just build stuff, so I'm thinking you are living the dream...good find!!!
Most youtubers get money and build fancy shops... not you man... your like most of us and just get a bigger place with more junk. YOU ARE AWESOME!!
*Bring a trailer full of scrap back to the yard on your return trips.*
*In 37 years it will all be cleaned up!*
He's the real deal, if he did make more CZcams money, you KNOW he would just drag more old iron home.
I explain it to my wife like this: it's tough to have a person be really really good at fixing stuff, without them tinkering on old junk, so she gets to look at my yard art, but when the furnace breaks and it's -40° outside, I can fix it in like an hour, vs having to wait till 2026 for a repair guy to come fix it.
A man of the people.
Hahaha love it.
The 80 year old English you tuber Garage Racing has so many spares it takes him a day to check his stock before going buying stuff...its all in front of me bro'.
Sorry "shed racing " is the 80 year old
So to get rid of junk, you bought a place with a mass quantity of junk?
Masterful move!
Wow that is a lot of stuff!
Livin the dream !
Absolutely genius!
that is all $$ laying around there. that was a great move !@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals
Instead of getting rid of his junk, he's just hiding it in a bigger pile of junk. lol
@@CoryMT ...and that was his cunning plan all along
I’m thinking you’re gonna inherit all that stuff whether you want it or not.
It will cost the previous owner too much to clear. The work and transportation will cost more than the value. I hope he keeps it all besides of potential chemicals in the "keep out" box
🙂 yep
even those truck trailers? because he could easily sell that or use those.
Actually, he can make enough money with what's left there to pay for the property. Those diesel engines, generators, ect. are still worth money. Lot's of scrap metal too, although the prices are a little low right now.
He wish 🤞
Amazing how what was a silver mine is now a gold mine!!! Hoarder heaven!!!
That’s about what I was thinking. As he was riding around I was all but drooling over a lot of the stuff there
I can't wait to see wat you do with all that junk treasure
This is my absolute favorite channel. I can’t wait to see what you do with the new property.
This is the dream! An old mine with a radioactive truck.
“I wonder if you could build a shed out of desks?” You are asking the right question!
The bins with the train coupler are ore cars used underground. Look like 5 ton cars. If they have a wheel on the side its a camel back side dump. They were usually pulled with a large battery powered locomotive.

It's a hoot exploring that place. Thanks for taking us along and congrats on your new treasure trove.
That would be SOOOooo much fun exploring that property looking for neat gadgets.
That unknown diesel engine looks like a Caterpillar 3306.
Great video, awesome property, tons of potential. All the junk is sweet, that power wagon with the atomic symbol on the door is amazing.
Awesome project, looks like a year's wages in just scrap. I'd be wary of leaving anything of value (Like the quad) up there though.
Yeah, I would worry about leaving anything of value there as any thief checking out the property would take it, I can almost guarantee it. 😢
Was thinking the same thing
Yeah but his good junk is cleverly hidden amongst all the old soon to be his junk... and it's already been safe for quite a while by the looks of it!
I'm here for it; I cleaned out hoarder homes for 15 years, and worked at a rock quarry/sand mine that doubled as a racetrack sometimes..and had an 80 acre recycled materials section...so you could say this is right up my alley. Not to mention this is one of my favorite YT channels, thanks man.
Thanks for all the great videos last year! Looking forward to more in 24!!
This is one of the coolest purchases ever. Those mountains are beautiful and a radioactive truck.
I used to work on those air cube compressors on offshore oil rigs back in the seventies/eighties.Fantastic machines. Huge output. Need to use turbine oil in them to stop the valves coking up.
Were the ones you worked on Joy compressors?
I worked for a compressor repair contractor and
he had a Joy cube looking compressor in the
back corner of the warehouse.
He was a Joy company service man.
@@steveaw5895 Ingersol Rand just like in the video.
You are living the dream my friend! Know that we all live vicariously though you! Keep it coming!
I found your channel about a month ago and I watched every single one of your videos in order. I'm glad I caught up! I'm really looking forward to the new stuff this year.
I want to see that 27 liter caterpillar and air cube thing run
Crikey ! you've bought a small fortune in scrap metal alone. 👍 Can't wait to see what comes from this lot. Happy new year. 😎
everything about this channel i like and envy. New Mexico, the machinary, the "go for it" attitude. and that place looks like a mecca of fun.
Low-Buck Garage and Pole Barn Garage are becoming two of my favorite channels and I'm not a mechanic. EDIT : That property you bought with all the rusty gold is like Heaven ! I can only imagine cruising around on your ATV going on a treasure hunt and finding it !!!

They were called cooling towers when I did hvac work in the eighties.
as for those big cone things maybe just stand them up and cut a door in them looks like they'd make a decent little storage shed
That place is going to be awesome I can't wait to see all the things you're going to do there
😂 I got goosebumps looking at all that junk 😂 I would keep it all 😂🎉 Happy New Year
Free, is always better.

You're doing it right because we're having fun!
Low Buck adventures galore

Projects for a lifetime! You’re gonna need an army! 😂
The new expansion / overflow property looks amazing! I am shocked you wanted all that stuff cleared out. So much looks so useful!
my idea would be to make a "small town" out of all the stuff that it can be more organized, so there would be a furniture store(put all the kitchen ranges, fridges, sinks etc,) hard wood store( all types of wood that isn't rotted, some tables, chairs) hard wear strore( scrap metal, drums, glass) engine yard, and then a car renovation/repair shop near where a race track in the future would be. maybe even check if there is a long enough strip to make a drag strip/ Runway. could be pretty fun
I could walk around there for days 🤩
Your going to need an excavator with grapples and semi truck with big trailer
The glass would be cool for a greenhouse or a house built into a hill.
Excavator to dig out the hill.
Got furniture too… hmm so much potential.

This is such a cool property! Looking forward to an update video and more on all the stuff they leave
Just for fun, if you had a drone, you could fly it over that prohibited area and find out exactly what they don't want you looking at
With sensors for radiation and other stuff
What a GREAT piece of real estate, not many men are as lucky as you.
Looks like a good buy. Nice to have all that material and the land. Enough projects there alone to add to your to do list. Lots of fun. You'll be able to build a great commentary box for the race track from all the glass!
Seems like rattlesnake heaven, when temps are warmer.
I can’t explain with words how much I love you. If you ever need a kid that may or may not be over 50 please let me know.
I hope you brought some of that plastic back to make a new set of drive gears for the snowmobile
I need to live next to an abandoned mine, that place looks awesome. I'd keep all the junk and drag it to one corner and call it a day. I'd try to get the ghost town as part of the deal too.
I'd have a lot of fun scrapping that stuff. all I need is my truck, tailer, plasma cutter and generator.
My OCD wants to organize that mine equipment yard. LOL! For those thinking all the metal is worth big money, price steel scrap Vs gas or diesel. It would cost more in fuel than he would recoup in the scrap metal unless he finds a loads worth of copper or aluminum.

What you do is what most of us wish our life situations would offer us, but just can’t for various reasons.
As an old miner, I'd tell them don't bother cleaning up. Lots of cool stuff out there.
Your Dad is going to poop himself when he sees what you bought. Prepare to move the blue bus out there for him to spend next spring.
I'm with ya. Everything has potential. The outboard motor has a 90° gear box on the lower unit. Potential. Love your vids.
all I see is a lot of good metal, stuff to get running and find a use for, but mostly I see is A LOT of good video material
Thats one way to get new projects (assuming the previous owner fails to clear up). Keep up the good work.
I have the same exact Hotpoint fridge in immaculate condition and it's still in use to this day, best beer fridge ever! Also, if those air cubes end up for sale I will take every one of them!
Having lived on an old gold mine for many years, the amount of cool and useful items and parts is always an excellent addition to the goldberg.

So much more room for activites
I'm really excited to see what you do with that property and the projects you get into
The silver may be gone, but to me, you are looking at a gold mine.
We are looking forward see what will be done there.
Central California watching

holy shit. i'd ask the owner NOT to remove any of that stuff, pure gold. just get it organised.
Looks like a whole lotta fun!

Brilliant. Happy new year! 🎉
That was awesome.
👍
Now that looks like fun 😉
You got the makings of a awesome rifle range!!!
You have a wicked sense of humour.
Happy New Year! And much success with your new acquisition! I’m excited!🎉🎉🎉

16:55 the paul and Steve engine looks like a lincoln welding machine without the frame and voltage controller parts
Looks good. Congrats!
What a great place! More please.
I am really excited for you to show us more of this place.

Honestly your are my favorite person on CZcams
This is going to be fun watching what you do with this place
Looks like a dream deal! Happy New Year ! Looking forward to the new adventures.
Awesome. Nice score.
That would be my kind of dream property. I am willing to bet, that the previous owner is going to leave a lot of that stuff up there for you to sort through at your leisure. Happy New Year..
I love this new sight you got
Especially the thick plate steel that was left.
Happy New Year to you and your family!! Thanks for everything you do and God Bless 🙌
My dad bought a 1968 Jeep Jeepster when I was 14. Thought it was coolest looking Jeep
Amazing video

Looks like heaven to me!
Looks to me like you found a little heaven on earth
