Sheldon Antelope Preserve is great for that. Last time I was there driving up the butte there were storm cells in the distance. Everyone in our car just went silent
It is for storing explosives. It just more modern. It's deeper so if something were to explode there would be more pertection and the vents served not only fo keep the inside cooler but also as pressure release if it did explode.
Maybe they use the spray can to paint a rock or two and place them where the trail splits off. I often ride in the desert alone and used to take pictures of my trail so I could backtrack. Some people will put up a rock cairn or try a ribbon to tree branch if there’s a tree available. There’s plenty of scrub brush in the desert, but now my ride has full GPS and I can backtrack my trails easily, but I used to carry a can of spray paint with me of the kind that is used to mark waterlines, electrical lines, etc., in the yard.
A horizontal mine entrance is called an adit not a shaft. Must have been quite a flash flood that filled up the mine with mud! Thanks for sharing your adventures 👍
One of my biggest dreams is to travel to the Nevada desert to do this kind of exploring, the history of the landscape is so fascinating. but It's a long and expensive way from the arctic circle where I live
Used to live near the ocean for most of my life,, Don't miss it at all,, Enjoing the desert,, No ugly planned communities. With HOAs, No ugly big cities,,No Freeways that are used for parking lots,,,No Road rage,, The serenity of nature,
There are so many of those in the mountains of the country of georgia, far from cities. I always wondered if anyone else even noticed them. But they are sealed shut with steel entrances.
In my opinion... That looks like a Valid Mine. (The white plastic bags don't last long, even in the shade.) If it is, and the Owner sees this Video and is Pissed, your Video could be used against you in a Court of Law... Great Video!
Public mining claim on BLM land. I'm a tax payer and American citizen, which means this is my land. The only thing I couldn't do is take any minerals, as that's reserved for the claim holder.
"See what we can get into" is more like see what you can get OUT of. Had my fingers crossed your vehicle wouldn't end up stuck on that "road". What is/was mined there? Doesn't look safe. Somebody put a lot of effort into digging holes in the ground. Desert seems to make people go crazy and do unexplainable behavior. Ah, a bunker, home sweet home?
@DaveSuzukiExploration that's awesome, if you ever go back, look up the old silver O'Connor mine in spring valley just outside of town, it goes 7 miles through the mountain, took us and entire day to go through, pretty cool
The chimney vent in the top tells me it's housing. Could be where they did assay work. Could also be an office as they usually are. Bet it is nice and cool in the summer and nice and warm in the winter. These people were really into concrete. LOL...
♥️🙏♥️ ♥️⛏ maybe that The cement house was used to live there I guess for the winter but there’s no word so you can heat up yourself great video exploring the past♥️💪🏻👍🏻🤠👨🏽🦼
Explorers often leave water behind for use by others in emergencies. This is the first time I recall seeing water bottles in a mine, but I often see it in volunteer cabins. Water caches, such as this, have saved peoples lives. I'm reminded of the Death Valley Germans, two adults and two kids, whose vehicle got stuck in a remote area of Death Valley. They didn't survive.
big expectations with little return. either stopped because of ww2 or just ran out money and investors. plastic bucket people came back for samples, ran out of pot.
Office or assay room. Those old timers were no fools. I bet there is another mine either up the wash or in the hills somewhere. This is about in the middle of the one you found and the other one. That first mine was not the work of an afternoon. A lot of effort went into it and it is still being worked part time. No sane man ever stored explosives in that concrete room. A blast in there and the concrete becomes shrapnel. Best practice for at least a century is to store explosives in lightly constructed sheds.
Great video! The middle of Nevada, where you can go to feel like the last human on Earth. Even the wind sounded lonely.
90% of Canada is like that - only with trees and lakes instead of desert.
I live in nevada, I can be 100 miles from anyone pretty easily
Sheldon Antelope Preserve is great for that. Last time I was there driving up the butte there were storm cells in the distance. Everyone in our car just went silent
@@k80_i went out there and climbed yellow peak right at sunset, that place was beautiful
Still could be an explosive bunker but shared by several miners.
That’s the answer. He even describes all the waste rock, then says small mines. Complete contradictions
It is for storing explosives. It just more modern. It's deeper so if something were to explode there would be more pertection and the vents served not only fo keep the inside cooler but also as pressure release if it did explode.
Nope It`s a pump station to supply water to the mine
@@davidamburgey9398close, it's dewatering, it's to drain the water out of a pit or something
What kind of person goes hiking out in the middle of nowhere and carries a Can a spray paint in their pocket ?

A fool
😂A CAVER!!!!
An idiot.
A gang banger punk that read on social media there was a free crack party out there.

We call em drifts in nevada
Drift and adit are the same thing.
I used to be a miner in Arizona. The concrete bunker looks like it could be an equipment locker.

Thats the powder magazine. if its old enough, they may have used black powder.
It is a mine shaft too and it was closed forever. That wall behind is new compared to the other walls. In other words, the government sealed it.
Powder magazine to store dynamite
Cool show.
It's well reinforced. My first thought was dynamite storage but 2nd guess would be a vault to store valuable substances...
Its to store dynamite in all of the mineds . And yes it is they stored water in it too.
Looks like the East Range in Pershing County on the road to Barbersville.
I am pretty sure he is up by elko, but you could be right
what your calling a bunker is more than likely what's known as a powder house
The way Hillary swings, that ice chest might contain Vince Foster.
@@irishledden4924 I like the way you think😂🤣
are y'all still obsessed with hillary

It's a powder magazine for storing dynamite. I live about 5 miles away from one.
There are so many of those in the mountains of the country of georgia, far from cities. I always wondered if anyone else even noticed them. But they are sealed shut with steel entrances.
What would they have been mining for? Silver?
In my opinion...

Not a shaft.
You could easily find land status on the claim
its not a bunker its called a powder house and yes its for explosives they have more than one type of explosives they use in mines
It's not a dynamite bunker, they are made of concrete, it's for dewatering
I think it was a power plant, near the creek, had to be solid enough to support a large turbine or a peleton wheel.
"See what we can get into" is more like see what you can get OUT of. Had my fingers crossed your vehicle wouldn't end up stuck on that "road". What is/was mined there? Doesn't look safe.

These are old cattle drive stop overs. Nothing new unless your from up east!
I think somebody got carried away. I just overdid it, man. God knows what reason.
When were the mines in operation? And what were they mining there? Interesting.
Weird. Has to be dynamite storage. But thats alot of cement. How did they get that cement out there?
Your taxes at work.
Boy,you and that Suzuki sure get around.
Wonder what the temp was in that concrete bunker.
Storage for dynamic
Nice Powder Magazine that's what it is I've seen lots of those when I used to it's been a lot of time in the Mojave Desert
Where are you at? I have been to hundreds of mines in nevada. But i have never seen that one
@@scottjones8406 Near Winnemucca for this one.
@DaveSuzukiExploration oh cool, I live in elko but I grew up in eureka, not sure if you have been there but it's the mecca of old mines in nevada
@@scottjones8406 Been through many times. Eureka is one of my favorite areas of Nevada.
@DaveSuzukiExploration that's awesome, if you ever go back, look up the old silver O'Connor mine in spring valley just outside of town, it goes 7 miles through the mountain, took us and entire day to go through, pretty cool
Probably a potato shed. In early 1900s thgey pooled rescources and made use of shared labor . Works for several families

Generator shack.
What’s in the yeti cooler ?
Haaaaa were all gonna meet there, at s.h.t.f. so bring a dish and we'll pot luck !

The mining claim needs to be marked if there any expectations of it being "YOUR CLAIM".
On the 4 corners
Could be housing
What's up with the case of water on the right-side shelf in photo 2:17, that the camera panned away from so quickly? Someone living in there?

Yeah but it's scrub brushie nothin
Nothing here to see
Check old military activities in the area.
It's an old gold mine, there are like 100000 in nevada
Stupid for you to go into an old abandoned mine…dangerous!
Office or assay room. Those old timers were no fools. I bet there is another mine either up the wash or in the hills somewhere. This is about in the middle of the one you found and the other one.

Pretty much a waste of time..
لماذا ليس معك صديق يمكن أن تستمتعو مع بعض .
🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶👍👍
Someone spent a lot of Time ,that,s a lot of concrete,
Really got serious about it .
If this guy is that misinformed, he needs to stay out of our desert,
Yeah that mine was actually a portal to hell. I didn't want to show the portal tho as it would cause the video to get demonetized.
Looks a bit like somebody's idea of an "end times" bunker.
Dumby those are just old mines
You should stay out of someone's active claim
Cool🏚
