I sure do love going on your adventures. Thanks for sharing.
I am still amazed at how many mine sites there are
I believe those metal kitchen cabinets are what we're called Youngstown Cabinets back in the 1950s.
Thanks Craig!
Awesome work. We appreciate your uploads. These are more beautiful sites. Thank you both, stay safe
Great adventures!! Keep up the good work!!
Good job guys, Danny in Alabama
I'm the one that folded that tattered flag, I ran to Pahrump for water and groceries.
When I came back I got a small fire going and honorably burned it. It didn't deserve to be hanging on a wall torn to shreds blowing in the wind, I waved to you guys carrying my metal detector walking back to my truck. The old mine with the bedframe goes back about 100 yards, level all the way back, I walked back there in January 2001. Seen Bobcat tracks back there. I was in the older black Toyota pickup parked on the cement apron.
We remember you. You were camped at the mill site, we camped outside the cabins.
Thank you for retiring the flag honourably. If we had one, we would have replaced it.
We really appreciate the comment, and glad you found us "again". Hope you enjoy the rest of our content.
Another great one Thank you guys❤️❤️👍
Glad you enjoyed it Gayle
Thanks!
Thank you very much for this fascinating insight into the life of the miners, it is amazing how remote the locations are that they had their encampments. It is great that you manage to find so many of the remains of the cabins and other buildings associated with the mines. Thank you for these excellent video presentations.
We are so happy that you are enjoying our explores and hope you continue to do so. Those miners certainly were as tough as nails and very determined. Couldn't imagine people going through what they had to endure in this day and age. See you on our next adventure, John.
Hi guys! glad we found you two again. for some reason we were not getting notifications. we rang the bell again so hopefully that helps. Great explore you two! loved the old miners cabins and the sound of the wind blowing through the slats really makes us feel like we're there with you. we are doing some catch up on your videos. such a good time! keep on exploring and we will be there with you! 🤠🧑🦰🌲🌲 🎼
Welcome back Brad. Glad you enjoyed our explores. CZcams does some strange things even unsubscribes people! We have lots more adventures to come.
I get that as well. CZcams is an A.I mystery novel . One day we will read about it. 😁
@@mineadventures7938 That is too funny, but after reading about it will we be able to understand it any clearer?
@@PinInTheAtlas , LOL, maybe not
Nice find...
You are right, that truck body had beautiful colors💙🌺❤️
Great music selection, so many bits out there in these remote location, love the video !
Thanks Seb
another fun explore you two .....those cabins are in great shape .... just slap some paint on them and good to go ..... keep'em coming and be safe out there
Exactly we were pleasantly surprised at how great of shape these places are in. We Love it!
It is so sad to see the vandalism in some of these historical sites. love you both. Take care.
It truly is Betty. So glad to see your new post and looking forward to what you come up with next we will be with you every step of the way! Much love light and hugs!
Another great video you 2. Keep it up Thanks.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely fantastic! Great pin That old wood had me chomping at me bit. So wonderful to see when life was much more simple. That music was top shelf and inserted at just the right time. Next week!
Thanks, Richard. See you next week.
Bears like to sleep in cool dark places.
Talk about "frozen" in time. That gets me in all these adventures... the stillness. Another great and interesting exploration, Andrea and Steven. Thank you for taking us along.👏🤗💛🌞🧡👏
Glad you were able to join us, Rhonda.
Lots of good stuff and good information; keep it up with the pins😎😎😎😎👌👌👌👌👌
In America those sorts of folded flags on the table represent a deceased military veteran, it is sacred.
In the beginning of this video at the tuhgsten mine you show a milling area. The rectangular shaped heavy metal box was the battery for a two stamp mill. Very small operation indeed. The concrete entrance of the later mines where gold, silver, copper and lead were taken, those were to keep people out when the mine was not running. Most likely that one was one of the adits to the gold and silver veins. The practice of High Grading (stealing high grade ore from a mine that you are working in) was always a problem. That's why most mines provided clothing for working in, and they would have to change out of these clothes at the end of the day and shower down. This kept the high grading down.
Thank you for this information, it is appreciated.
Thanks for the info. Always something new to learn.
This was a good one
Thanks Virginia.
my favorite auntie used to collect old bottles in ancient mining camps up in the Sierras...
A little something to help fill Tontos belly. x
That means a great deal to us and Tonto Sue. Thank you!
Great finds!!!
Very dynamic intro, plus some very fancy and surprising transitions here and there :-)
Love that sunbeaten wood!
God I love that moment and the look on Andrea's face ? Talk about suspense ! Perfect , you nailed it !!!😎🤗🤗❤❤
LMAO. Thanks, we were laughing so much editing that part.
All kinds of good stuff in this one. Really liked that heart tub. Thanks guys. Great video
A bonus find Chris.
Very interesting. Be safe and God Bless.
Thanks Rose.
That looks like a 1944-45 Ford 1 Ton truck @12:18 that the other obviously a jeep., BTW, FoMoCo is Ford Motor Company.
nice camp!
Really cool site. I see Baker Iron Works pop up a lot when exploring and I looked them up once. Unbelievably the company started in the 1870s and is still around today. Its a shame people decide to damage these sites.
Thanks. Yes we can never understand what goes through peoples mind. Shame. Glad you enjoyed our pin.
probably could still use that stove... nice one.
nice
Good morning Andrea and Steven. It's been a while since I said hello. I have still been watching your videos still love watching the areas you have been to they are great even though I don't always comment on them.
Hello Merry. So glad that you are continuing our journey and explores with us. We always love hearing from you, but don't feel that you have to comment on every video. A thumbs up is always good though. Helps the channel a lot. Thanks for always being so supportive of our content. See you on our next adventure.
It was a different people in a different time that could live and work in these far out places, beautiful as it is, they definitely had the patience and perseverance.. I love the wooden "windows" on hinges, a perfect idea. Loved this trip, thank you. But what happened to "see you on our next adventure"?
They certainly were, Lorna. Couldn't imagine people doing it in this day and age. And we like to switch it up a bit.... But for you...Get out there, go and explore, and we will see you on our next adventure.
@@PinInTheAtlas Thanks, I missed that.
that crow was following you guys all over :)
It kinda felt that way too....creepy!
My grandfather had the same sink arrangement.
Yes the FoMoCo is short for Ford Motor Company and might have been a replacement part and not original, so once again the intrepid duo has taken us on another visit to a forgotten mine in Death Valley. Keep it up you blokes and thanks once again, Cheers Brian.
Glad you enjoyed this video, Brian and Mary. Lots more adventures to come, and not all mines! Hope you enjoy the variety equally as much.
It’s snowing there and here in Rogers Arkansas we feel like we’re in an oven 101 F
We feel the heat too this one was filmed back in February
May God Bless America. Hi guys. Even though that flag was in pretty rough shape it was Great to see that someone has the knowledge how the America flag should be folded. It seems alot of people have forgotten how and if you are going to keep it up at night please shine a light on our flag. It never ceases to amaze me how the miners hauled all that lumber, metal and what ever else they needed to the middle of no where. We really take for granted how we move objects like that with our 1 ton pickup. Awesome video and as always truly enjoyed watching. My guess on the make and year of the car..... 1944 Chevrolet
Safe travels Steven and Andrea
Patrick!!!! Oh how we have missed you! You are absolutely 100% right. Have had to refold a few flags we have come across at these cabins and some have even just balled them up which was quite shocking to say the least. Even Andrea knows how to fold the American flag correctly. I love our flag and we both completely love and respect the lands of this wonderful country of ours! That’s why we try to explore the far corners and share the incredible history we have and pay a small homage to those that came before us to make our lives better. Thanks for being our biggest supporter right from the beginning Patrick it means the world to us.
Many of the old mines seem to always have a car or truck with no engine or transmission .. the engines were pulled and used to power mills and the like. Cheaper then some of the then industrial engines. Not always the case but miners were an inventive bunch. 🤠
They certainly were inventive Al. It’s great to explore these places and imagine what life was like back then. It must have been incredibly noisy with the motors going.
I enjoyed this video. You guys are cold, & we’re in the 90’s on the east coast!
Thanks Becky! Well we actually filmed this one in February we are burning up now!
Good one liner, you know what I'm going to say, that half inch is really important. Interesting video! Nice to see the amount of lumber that was used and how it was installed, showing the entire chute line is interesting as you are showing the angle, which is interesting by the length, lead? Galena?
Thanks Steve, we had so much fun fishing musing and filming these locations and we are happy you enjoyed the video and the one liners!
Looks to me to be a 1939 Buick Special 2 door sedan.
Yes a ?Buick Special 2 door 1939 i own one mint con
very similar to a late 30s Chevy,,,,,,, Ed
Really great video you guys boy that does look cold out there I hope you got your long johns on.
We even had snow. This was filmed in February. Glad you enjoyed it Ben. See you on our next adventure.
Great into! 👍
Overall great video, and that location 😍
It's crazy to think that all those parts people took off those trucks have probably already been scraped long ago along with the truck they put them on..
Thanks guys!
I know we always think about that too, who was the last person to drive it, take parts off for another use and all of that. Glad to hear from you two and really looking forward to your new content!
Some of those bldgs. looked good as volunteer cabins.
Agreed!
Steven & Andrea -- That trailer @18:04 is a mid-1950's Flamingo ''Park Model'' Travel Trailer . I have one almost identical to that one , except mine is in much much better condition . Mine is a 32 foot , 1956 Flamingo ''Park Model'' Travel Trailer , and my second wife and I lived in it for over 20 years when I worked in the Mines . Still have it (used for storage) as I now live in a 40 foot Kountry Air 5th Wheel Travel Trailer . ---- < Doc , Retired , Miner for over 50 years > .
Thanks for sharing Doc. Do you travel much in the 5th wheel?
@@PinInTheAtlas --- No , it's way too big and heavy to haul around to the places that I go . I have it parked on my property and it's my principal residence . --- < Doc > .
cross and rocks, is definitely a grave.
Could the bed springs been put there to kept people out of the shaft, there is no there vandalism on the property that I seen.
Possibly. The park service doesn’t normally do that though.
we had a drum like that, ample heat.
Good job getting this one in the bank while it was snow season! Gotta love that Atomic-Age kitchen sink / cabinet enclosure too!
Not so much the Blair-Witch makeshift cross you found.. Or was it a dowsing rod?!
Weren’t those amazing I so want one just like it when ever we decide to settle down. We had no idea about the cross if it’s some type of joke or what but was interesting for sure.
@@PinInTheAtlas
Very cool! When I saw that snow falling and heard your voices I just wanted to hand you a thermos of Hot Cocoa !
Thank you!
@@charleyfolkes Would have loved that!
FoMoCo Ford Motor Company. The yellow truck is a Willy's .
Love the video Steve and Andrea! I think half the reason I come along with you two is ; you two . Love the Hyundai , Elantra comment - I laughed out loud on that - good one. Not sure why a bed frame and springs would be on the deep dark shaft - no way I’d sleep there , I’ve read too much about “ Tommy - knockers” and reptilians . I’d rather sleep under the porch. Love how curious Andrea is about cans and home amenity’s Always amazed how sturdy and heavy things were back then , I remember seeing those type of cabinets and appliances when I was younger . It is like a 3D snapshot back in time. Andrea you are tall and smooth and funny to boot, you are not short and wrinkled . My son when he was a little tot would say “ no say like dat!” 🤣. Never realized the copious amount of rats in the desert . Anyway - love you two - this was a fun lighthearted adventure .
Thanks Ron, we got hauled over the coals for guessing a car incorrectly once so now we make a fun game out of it glad you enjoyed that. We hope to continue to improve and make these explores fun, exciting and interesting Ron, thanks for helping support our efforts.
@@PinInTheAtlas You are very welcome! Thank you . Strange that someone would get that wound up about an old car - yeah I love the humor . I think even a couple of those crows ( ravens?) thought y’all were hilarious . I kept hearing them chucking in the back ground. Keep on trucken - love the videos and your kind
Personalities ! *
car enthusiast wouldn't say "pretty color" but pretty "patina"
😂
@ 12:22 ...."Fomoco" Stands 4, ..... Ford Motor Company.😉
Thanks Chris!
Yellow one was a jeep style. Willis maby ? The one without much was a Ford
Obviously this was filmed during the cooler time of the year
Obviously. In February. It would be way too hot in the summer months.
Hi Steve and Andrea ,First truck is a Ford probably ex military , second a Willys and the car is a GM model of some sort ,Most interesting junk at this site .John Keane.
Lots of amazing finds at these locations glad you enjoyed it John!
Thank you both for a fascinating video about the struggles the miners went through to live with very little they had. 😊 . Yes in reply to the comment about Steven not being tough,, I couldn’t agree more 🤣🤣🤣🤪😜. Hahahaha . Your videos r becoming masterpieces,, it’s coming together nicely. Keep up the great ideas.
Thank you so much Tina. We’re still learning all the time. The struggle is also finding interesting places to explore as you know.
And we won’t say anything to Steve. We’ll let him think we think he’s tough 🤣
@@PinInTheAtlas yes its a women's progrative.
I left u and Steve some new locations on Patreon
@@tinadelwiche416 yep we got them thank you. I did reply not sure how long it takes Patron to send them.
Congratulations, you discovered Brokeback Miners.
Yellowish truck is a Willys .
FoMoCo is Ford Motor Company .
Absolutely loved this video Andrea & Steven, thank you. Very interesting. It all looks so barren out there, but it's also a desolate beauty. Good call on not going into the mines, just not worth the risk. Better be safe than sorry. Even way out in those areas you still get the hooligans. Guess they've got nothing better to do than be pathetic? I remember back in the day, here in the UK, a particular Ford car was nicknamed The Dagenham Dustbin, but can't recall which model! Really hope you're staying safe & taking care out there on your adventures. Hi to Tonto! All the best, much love from across the pond.
Yep, can't seem to get away from those numb nuts, Sue. I can't remember them being called the Dagenham Dustbin, although I do remember the company. Hope you're doing well over there and enjoying the heat wave. Remember to wear your knotted hankie on your head lol.
@@PinInTheAtlas not only am I wearing my knotted hankie on my head, I'm also holding up the great British tradition of wearing bright white knee high socks with my Jesus sandals 😂 One must ALWAYS wear socks when wearing sandals!! I asked my dad about the Dagenham Dustbin, he said it was the Ford Prefect that started it, but basically all the models because they went so rusty lol! Trouble with the heat over here it's soooo humid. It's actually been very nice but too busy working indoors to enjoy it. Saying that, tonight when I took my dogs out, I had to wear a hoodie because it was chilly. Weird weather. Got my dad hooked to your channel too, he starts radiotherapy on Friday, bless him, which has peed him off because he wanted to start Bream fishing 😁 Absolutely love what you do Andrea & Steve. Thank you for letting me tag along & enjoy the ride. Please stay safe over there. Time for a cuppa, black, no sugar!
@@SueCooke Oh, those sexy socks and sandals. how I miss them, lol. And don't forget the 99 flake. Those Mr Whippy ice creams are my fav.
Hope your Dad is OK. Tell him laughter is the best medicine. Find something good to watch on the box, maybe faulty towers or Benny Hill. Always good for a giggle.
Another thing I miss is a "nice cup of tea". PG with a splash of milk. It just doesn't taste the same over here. not sure if it's the water or the milk (it's the only time I have milk). And whenever I was down in the dumps, my mum would say...."Let's have a nice cuppa tea" as though that would put the world to rights. I must admit, I find myself saying that more often these days.
Gosh when was this filmed? I plan to be in Nevada this fall and wouldn't have expected coolish or cold weather in the summer.
We spent 6 days filming in February. We had snow , wind and high temperatures.
Yes, the old truck has FoMoCo written on one of its parts, and there was a Ford pickup bed found nearby, but it looks to me like the cab and body are the remnants of a 1941 Dodge. Note the bodywork directly in front of the doors comes much farther forward than that found on the Fords, and we can clearly see the three holes on that piece, which had been the mounting holes for those little side lights, which were a distinctive feature on Dodge models. The gas filler and door hinges match those on the Dodge models, and there is a slight center ridge running along the roof from front to back, again consistent with the Dodge trucks. This truck apparently had a sun visor, which it has lost. Upon further checking, I’m pretty much 100% convinced that the sedan is a 1939 Buick Special. Anyone have further thoughts?
I agree with your identifications. The vertical "ribs" on the center of the dash (at 35:05) confirm Dodge. I've owned many 1941 military Dodges. Then there's the 1947 and later Jeep pickup.
Thanks for the info. As you know, identifying cars is not our strong point.
I'll bet if you were a donkey or mule, you'd be drinking water from that spring also. Spring water is far and between in Death Valley. That's why they found so many mummified corpses of miners out there on the desert floor. Their mules would go crazy with thirst and run off leaving those guys behind!
Couldn’t begin to imagine how hard that life was. Miles in the middle of nowhere. And only the food and water that you could carry.

Bagley /pony express saddle it looks like a Mc Cellan saddle used by the Army before and during the civil war new it is covered with leather
Civil war was after the Pony Express. Maybe a lot of saddles were that design back then. Not sure about that one though. Thanks for the comment.
I'm guessing the old sedan is a Chevy around 1940, it has independent front suspension with knee action type shock absorbers
Thanks. Cars aren’t our strong point.
Houdaillie Shock
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving 👍
Thanks Ronnie. You too.
That is a Ford Pickup truck. You have a Willy's pickup truck. The cover came from United States Navy ( USN). identification number with a X. Probably means it was some kind of experimental part to a scrap project.
Thanks for the info Wayne.
so FOMOCO is ford about 56 i think. the oter may be an International
@27:00 i think a 38 chevy
The first truck looks like a power wagon maybe early 1940 and the other one was a Jeep Willy’s from maybe early 1940 or 1950
Thanks Vincent! Had an idea the second was a jeep.
yeah FoMoCo Ford whether Dagenham England or here in the US Ford M Co had a saying ,,,a iron ingot goes in the factory at one end,,, and comes out the other a complete motor car
FoMoCo "Ford Motor Company"
The square truck is a Willys Overland,I think the other truck is a Dodge judging from the wheels , the muffler was a Ford item. FoMoCo is Ford Motor Company. Not sure on the sedan
41 Dodge truck, 39 Buick 2 door sedan
@@cyberkey11 had a feeling thought it was a GM but not a Chevrolet
Great video,cool place.They should have burned the bed frames.
Thanks Michael glad you enjoyed this one!
Who would go to the trouble of toting bed frames from a cabin to a mine shaft?
That’s what we would like to know too John!
30 something Ford. Are 40 something
The green truck was a Willy's pick up truck I'm glad you didn't tell the location keeps vandalism at bay and painting artist away also God bless be safe ✝️🇺🇸
Absolutely we don't ever disclose these types of locations as there is so much left behind.

No I correct my self below , the 1st truck is a GM product .JK.
I thought it was a Tesla, ROTFLMBO!

A park ranger would not tell you not to disclose a location. Everyone has a right to be there.
Actually he did. Rangers don’t disclose sensitive locations to everyone
