- My son and I love exploring the desert and we have come across some fascinating and creepy things over the years. Spiders, old mines and a Hollywood movie set are just a few of the strange things we have found.
So great to see you and your son hanging out like this....That's what family is all about!
We love getting out together and we are going quail hunting on Tuesday. I can't wait!!
@@mixup98 That is awesome! I used to do that, many moons ago....All the old farmers that let me hunt on their property have all passed away, and I gave up on it....People have changed, and so has the environment around Indiana here......Have fun!
That ghost town looks like a movie prop.
That's exactly what I thought
Or built for Cowboy action shooting events with a common gathering place? Rock cabin looks older.
That’s what I was thinking too. The first building was just the front of a building! Another building appeared to have a cement floor but no interior walls!
Very cool nonetheless!
I heard the old outhouses are the best places to metal detect because things like coins and pocket knives would fall in and nobody wanted to reach in for it.
Interesting :)
That drone footage makes this an A1 production!!!🙌
You fellas are doing real good on the videos. Very enjoyable. Big thumbs up...........
Thanks Azvoltman ...👍
Back in the early 70's I was stationed at White Sands Missile Range. Wandered all over the dessert on my time off, Came across some great old finds. Your video reminded me of those long ago days of relic hunting out in the dessert.
You're blessed.
Back in the 1960s, my dad used to go to places like Ivanpaugh and Candaleria and muck about in the old mines and ruins, relic hunting and dry panning... and shooting his Ruger .45 magnum revolver
Sounds like your dad and I have lots in common and I think we would have really liked each other.
Seeing a father and son out together is an awesome thing, I try to do this with my three boys every chance I get, very rare in this day and age ! Great video keep up the good work !
Couldn't agree more Larry and we thank you so much for the great comment.
Pretty cool old ghost town ... kind of looked like it might have been a movie set. Cheers.
That "ghost town" looked like maybe it was a movie set? Interesting video, appreciate it!
We have several other outdoor videos that I am going to post in the near future and I hope my viewers like them.
At the beginning of your video Where is that ghost town located?
When you look at those old abandoned houses, you can't help wondering what they looked like when people were still living in them. I always enjoy the music you put in your videos.
Enjoy your Sunday.
Kind regards.
Liz.
I usually spend a lot of time searching for just the right music for my videos. Thank you for the feedback Liz.
cool video mixup !!! thanks !!!
Glad you like it!
Great stuff!
Always a pleasure big man , you have so many places out there to explore , always something interesting to share , keep em' coming , Thank you .
Thanks 👍
I grew up on the Wet Coast of Canada, but I took a motorcycle trip through the west coast one year and passed through southern Nevada on my way to Corpus Christi in Texas. This short video reminded me of that time. Thanks for this, and for the spooky music when the spider showed up. A calming moment as a nation waits for the results.
Very cool! Thank you so much.
RIP Sir Sean Connery
Great video...possibly the best to date, video quality wise. I love the drone work.
Much appreciated!
Well shot! Great production👍Keep sending em!
We will Trevin and thanks for watching our video.
that tarantula scratching its abdomen is a defense indicator - it is flicking off hairs which act like microscopic porcupine quills. It was scared and warning you to stay away.
Yeah, on a road trip, my cat, pet rat and wife died, so, I had to find a nice place to lay them to rest .
Hope you all have happier travels.....
Belated Condolences friend
I always carry Winchester Silvertips when I'm at a ghost town.
for sure
Thank you for sharing your father and son adventures. Truly touches my heart.
Verry spectacular scenery!
That was a pretty cool video. Imagine all the sites in Nevada that haven’t been found yet!
Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool tarantulas!
Very nice video. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍
Thanks for the visit ubbe.
I reside in Nevada as well. Always nice to go out and wander. Even though she’s just desert, always beautiful out here.
Torpedo is an IPA brewed by SierraNevada since 2010. I believe the label indicates an earlier release.
Every time I watch one of your videos,they make me homesick for Nevada.
And I live in Commiefornia!
Makes sense to me!!
Hopefully you get the chance to visit Nevada often.

The ghost town reminded me of an old abandoned movie set.
It is an old movie set.
Thanks,I needed that.Really enjoyed 🎯
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come.
I love to explore places like those.
Us too!
It's great watching you guy going out together and having fun. Great video footage and views , and the cool places you guys have out there . Keep having a good time
Thanks J G. We love getting outdoors and I need to have my video camera with me more often when we get out on these expeditions.
Thanks, that was a nice trip out west; the drone footage is awesome and makes all the videos even better. I used to explore more to the west in the California desert around Baker - always came upon interesting things. Thanks for the journey
Glad you enjoyed it Ted and thank you for watching our video.
Mixup you gotta do more vids like this soo cool man as always great videos!
Absolutely love this video. Great drone clips too.
Thanks a ton GatorMan...
Good shot of that tarantula kicking urticating hairs in defense while being messed with.
Not to be trifled with! Those hairs will make you miserable and can even blind you permanently. I'd rather be bitten by a new world T than haired. The species here in Arizona are not venomous enough to hurt humans, but those hairs are the devil's own invention.
In PA we got cow tippin', I guess out there it's tarantula ticklin'?? 🤔
Love the Saturday night vids!
Keep on keeping on! Right on right on! Awesome videography and music! Great job father and son! Thank you for taking that time and energy for us!
Happy Halloween 🎃 everyone greetings from Los Angeles
Same to you my friend.... Happy Halloween!
Thanks for turning me on to this video. I love watching exploration videos. Can't do anything like that where I live, in Indiana. The state's over 90% privately owned property. What's left is pretty much all under the parks department, and heavily regulated. There's some old military sites around, but they're all secured. There's one fish and wildlife area nearby that used to belong to a munitions plant many decades ago. Those areas are all restricted, due to the possibility of unexploded munitions. From what people living in that area have told me, every so often, they hear a boom from some animal running afoul of the unexploded munitions.
Nevada has about 48 million acres of public land and much of it is open to shooting, hunting, exploring, hiking, etc. I absolutely love this state and I don't think I could live anywhere else. I've been to Indiana once and I remember seeing what seemed like millions of acres of corn. I love corn and I love your state though. I have a handful of exploration videos here on youtube and I hope you get the opportunity to watch most of them.
Absolutely love this channel. The firearms info, the intro, the music,father and son, cinematography and now a drone. Very well done. Thank you gents.
Awesome!! We thank you for the great feedback on our videos Steve.
Some very cool and interesting things to explore out there. As always, I loved the edit. 👍
I wish I had a camera every time I found something interesting out in the desert. One time my son and I found a stuffed bobcat (as mounted by a taxidermist) out in the middle of the desert. Weird.
After this Pandemic I would like to visit that beautiful state ....salute from north shore Quebec
Hello Jay and greetings from Nevada. I will be posting more videos similar to this one and I hope you like them.
Don't have spiders like that here in Scotland, the most dangerous thing we have is the deadly Haggis
Hello Robin. I had to google Haggis.....yuck!!!!
This was great. Those graves had an amazing view. Really enjoyed the video. 🍻👍
Thanks 👍
@@mixup98 🍻 guys have always enjoyed what u do . I might be lucky enough to visit your wonderful country some day . From the land down under 🇦🇺🇺🇲
@@68mustangmustang77 My wife and I were talking the other day about where we would like to live if we moved to another country and we both agreed that Australia was on our short list. I hope you are able to travel to the U.S. someday and see what this great country has to offer.
@@mixup98 in the way of the outdoors Australia has a huge amount to offer and our population is quiet small compared to yours. Our gun culture sucks after port arthur. They took all the fun stuff off us. Colorado and the mountains and low and slow bbq Mmmm 🍻👍
Good stuff. Got a big kick out of the addition of wipe out when then drone, well wiped out. 👍
Hello Dsdcain. I had to climb about ten feet almost straight up on a very slippery section of loose rock to recover my drone when I crashed it. I also have other drone videos I might post in the near future and I hope my viewers enjoy them. Thanks for watching and commenting on my video.
Man. . . . I wish I could fish with my Dad.
The miner’s cabin was really interesting. Trimmed out interior doors and windows and those soft colors varying from room to room! It seemed pretty big too!
Very cool
Awesome country with a rich amount of history behind it. Much enjoyed, thank you for sharing my friend.🇺🇸👍👊
Glad you enjoyed it and I will be posting similar outdoor videos in the near future.
Very good. Thanks for the videos.
Glad you like them!
👍👀Awesome! Thanks
You bet!
Interesting! 👍😃✌️
Definitely beware of those tarantulas. We have the same Desert Blondes here in Arizona. Their bite is not medically significant to most humans, but those urticating hairs are AWFUL!!!! Do you see how they were kicking their abdomen with their back legs after you pestered them? They were flicking those hairs at you. I would much rather be bitten by a new world tarantula than get haired by one. The bite is no problem, but the hairs will give you a rash that lasts for days, and if they get into your nose or mouth or throat they cause extreme mucous membrane irritation. Getting them in your eyes can cause permanent blindness. I will run 10 feet away the second I see a tarantula flick hairs. I don't mess around with that at all.
Very cool! And interesting! Thanks for sharing! God bless!
Same to you and thank you very much.
With a little work the old cabin wouldn’t be a bad place to live.
That old ghost town/possible movie set was really neat. I loved the old stagecoach shell. Really cool stuff in the desert!!
BTW, that tarantula was kicking hairs at you, which is a defense mechanism. The hairs immediately imbed in your skin and can be a serious irritant. Just be careful.
Thanks for the heads-up on the tarantula hairs....I wasn't aware of this defense mechanism. 👍😎
This is cool stuff. Love this channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
Somehow I missed this episode. I grew up around Bisbee AZ, and I miss it every day. Used to find all kinds of neat stuff out in the middle of nowhere with a rockpick and .22. Absolutely beautiful where you filmed this, thank you!
I love the desert and I have found some amazing things over the last fifty years, especially with my metal detector. I can't imagine living anywhere else. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on our video. 👍🤠 👍😎
Very Cool!
Thank you Mr. Perez.
Pretty neat stuff
Thanks....and I also thank you for the sub.
Interesting history. That stamping mill was cool old tech. Sure would beat pounding rocks with a hammer in that heat. Also good for dealing with thieves I'd imagine.
Number 1 move set
Happy Halloween Mixup98 and son!
Same to you my friend.
Nice.
It is fun to explore. Many years span this video. I wonder how old the stage coach frame is. Many stories to tell from those places. Your metal detector would be fun out there.
I'm amazed with how well preserved those wooden buildings are
Cool videos. Like someone else already mentioned the town looked like an old movie set. I once came across a movie set in the California desert around Lake El Mirage where a movie was being made. I don’t know what movie and I was only about 13 or 14 when I saw the set.
That ghost town looks like a old movie set to me.
It does look like an old movie set but it's construction and purpose is still a mystery.
You guys are certainly brave......sticking your hands and fingers down next to and actually touching those " man eaters ".
I love Taratulas.
Instruments•AdorableThings•RockMusics&Spiders
Awesome Vids !
Glad you like them!
Dig the drone footage with the stagecoach frame....nice reverence for those that have gone before....Good mill example....wasn't there a stamp mill at Bonnie Springs? My grandfather worked mining in Mineral Park in the 1930s and later his son in law worked up in that area as Duval mowed down old Turquoise Mountain in Mohave County. That outhouse mad me think that my grandparents had 2 two holers for men and women at their service station/lunch counter going to Kingman on 93 before even getting power there....but that's another story......Makes you really appreciate the desert. Thanks much!
Several times while exploring Nevada I have come across 2-hole outhouses. Can you imagine sitting there next to dad or your big brother and taking care of business. Makes you really appreciate indoor plumbing.
Really Nice. You guys shoot camera as well as you shoot lead. Happy Halloween.
Thank you B R. I normally shoot the video and my son takes the photographs...which he is very good at. Happy Halloween!!
This is Bunny and my daughter Kitty, John is hunting up north this week... Nice video Mix and son.. we would feel so safe with you and your son holding us from those scary things...
Excellent video. Great change-of-pace. The desert looks amazing. I live in New England, and we don't have Open Spaces like that. I've been to Las Vegas a dozen times for work. But have never had the time to travel out into the desert. I appreciate the video , it certainly shows the diversity of your state
Awesome, thank you! I have other videos taken here in Nevada and I'm hoping to post more of them here.
@@mixup98
Please.... I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love to see it. Thanks again
Good stuff. It would great if more people showed their home areas and experiences. You know, get to know folks and maybe the world would be a better place. Maybe
Holy Sh_t! Why on earth would you touch that spider!!! Cool video.
Hello Clarissa. A tarantula spider is usually harmless 👍😁
Look close around the old buildings. May be hidden items
That was an interesting video and not a shot fired.
Really liked the vid, its not always about guns an shooting, was any of this south of Vegas ? . An you got my spidee sense's tingling, lol. Never have seen them or a gila monster yet either in the desert. Thx for the vid.
All of these videos were shot down around the small towns of Nelson and Searchlight. Tarantulas can usually be found in the desert in September and early October during mating season. I've been exploring the desert for over fifty years and I have never found a gila monster either.
@@mixup98 Supposedly there some at "ROACH LAKE" but I've never found them out there yet either, I would be willing to bet behind the mine I'm guessing.
I've seen a Gila monster 3 times in the wild here in the Sonoran desert out near Tucson. :) They are beautiful. One of the perks of working at night in the middle of nowhere.
@@mannys9130 what sort of work do you do out there at night, an are you seeing them on the road or other places ?
@@williammccaslin8527 valley of ire state park has em! ive lived there my whole almost 40 years of life, finally saw a live one, in the wild! 2 dead in the road... and one in captivity that is actually a pet that likes to be held!, they are AMAZNG, so much more agile than i d imagined, it just watched me cocking its head side to side, like a curious puppy! probably my shrieks of excitement made it very confused, lol!
Awesome !
😊😊👍👍👍😊😊
Thank you! Cheers!
What drone do you use sir?
I live near Virginia City. Once I went hiking in the mountains high above the graveyard. I found an old wooden boat discarded in the sagebrush, nowhere near any road. No clue how it got there, or why 🤷♀️🤣.. great video!
In California that fixer upper should be around $500,000
I literally laughed out loud to this
Awesome videos, except the spiders. Lol
Big spider, outer space soundtrack: too scary for me!
Love nature
Good stuff! I see you got yourself a drone now. That makes for some good shots. Btw what area in NV was the ghost town in? I might have to check it out the next time we drive up from AZ.
Nice video brother
Thanks Ruben.
Thats a wild place. Look up a you tube channel DONNIE LAWS. Its all about east tennessee and se kentucky and appalachia. You said you would like to visit tennessee. He tells stories about the culture witch craft and does metal detecting. He is pure country a great represenative of the people of east tennessee.
Whenever a mixup98 vid comes out, first I thumbs up it and then I watch it.
Thanks...I love the way you think.
Very cool !!! Thanks for showing us around out there. I live in Florida.....water and sand is pretty boring. Half naked women and no state tax is the only draw at all ,, lol
Hi Rick....we also have half naked women and no state tax here in Nevada.
@@mixup98 I am on my way buddy😂😂😂. Doesn't seem boring up there, just cold.....love your channel, round up some ammo and let's shoot🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
ya know that first ghost town looks fairly new im wondering if its not an abandoned movie set ?
I don't have any information on it but you're right, it does look like it could be an abandoned movie set.
Wow, all those cigars. David was clearly well loved. Family and friends go to that bench often to be with him. They even bring him beer.
Is it a tradition to put cigar stumps to a grave?
@@joelerk6298 No, I don't think so. I'm guessing David used to smoke cigars with his close friends or family and whomever used to do it with him decided to still go up there and smoke them, except they placed a bucket there to keep the stubs in or to put a fresh one in for David to enjoy himself. 🤷🏻♂️ They look smoked to me so I say someone goes up there to smoke a stogie with David and enjoy the view before putting the stub in the bucket and going down back home.
If David wasn't at work at his pool business it was a pretty safe bet you could find him hunting, fishing, or just outdoors in general. It was a damned shame what happened to him, but should serve as a reminder for all outdoorsmen to be diligent about safety.
I'd like to have a small dirigible that could hold a couple of people and supplies. I think I would be cool to fly about 50 feet off the ground at 25 mph per hour.
If you got the patience and they're still there you can look in between the floor boards of the prospectors cabin,whatever building was the general store & saloon and find gold. I came across a prospectors cabin way out in the woods not far from where gold was mined in "my state" long long ago. The cabin was maybe 8x12. Anyway the roof had collapsed and a few boards were broke enabling me to get under the boards to the dirt below. I was looking for old bottles but within 3 minutes found 2 tiny nuggets that I could pick up in a area where water had run under the cabin after a ran. I took my back pack filled it with dirt that I was able to get from hitting the boards above also scooped up the dirt from directly under the crack. After I packed all that crap back to the house and what I collected from a 2nd trip I ended up with 3.2 grams. I know if I'd been able to follow the small wash from the rain running under the cabin I probably couldve found more. Last time I was able to go back the cabin and 2 1/2 to 3 square miles around it were burnr.
That is a great ideal and I might try it next time I find an old cabin. I also hear that digging into the ground under an old outhouse can also be very rewarding.
@@mixup98oh yeah ive had luck detecting around old houses,just got to have the patience or a good discriminating machince to weed out all the nails.
Make a few fishing episodes!!
I have some fishing and kayaking video clips and maybe I'll post something in the near future.
