  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ธ.ค. 2022
  • In the backyard of my childhood home is the remains of an incredible boom town, I searched for 18 years to find it and now I’ve purchased the mining rights to this once bustling town.
    Special thanks to Gareth from @MOTOMINING
    And of course for the amazing Videography by KEITH and BIANCA @captureyouradventures

      Maybe a better title. I was expecting a lot more footage of the property and claims but there was maybe 5-10 mins worth of that. The first half was building the machine and the second half was hauling it to the claim so maybe “setting up at the backyard ghost town” or something to that effect. I loved the quality but felt let down at the content after what I expected from the title.

I'm not even that big of a gold fan and I personally just love to follow along with the story and see the logistics and how it all works and all of the problems. Who would have thought a mine site in the woods would be so strict and have so many regulations. Good on you for taking the time to really detail these things. Also mad respect for working on the claims that were deforested really then cutting down a whole new area. Just so cool to see Andy. Again can't wait to see what comes next. Love it keep up the great work.
