ABANDONED Time Capsule UNTOUCHED For 10 Years | 1800's GHOST TOWN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 พ.ย. 2015
- This is our return trip to a ghost town full of stuff. We call this ghost town "The Hills Have Eyes" ghost town because it reminds us of "The Hills Have Eyes".
It appears the people left this area many years ago and never returned. They left all their stuff behind and hit the road. There are many buildings full of stuff, and a few locked buildings we did not enter. We did enter all of the opened buildings though, which provided plenty of great stuff to show you. We also discovered new buildings on this return trip full of stuff.
This place dates back to the early 1900's with a very rich history. Fortunately, it's tucked deep into a valley and vandals have not yet discovered this amazing place. I will NOT share the location in order to protect the property from vandals and thieves.
The places we visit are usually very remote with little to no chance of help if something were to happen. It's been said that one can stumble upon drug labs out at these remote locations, which is a possibility we always keep in mind.

my grandmother watched this with me and she said a lot of the items in the buildings are circa 1940-1950. she is 87 years old so a lot of these items she remembered having. she was born in Lawton Oklahoma
Thank you for the info Mandy. :-)
Sweetheart Mandy I
If I found such a perfect abandoned place like this, I would be very tempted to homestead there. :)
I agree!
I would love to crank up them old motors
It’s wild to me that people just let stuff like this go🤔 I wonder like…why❓ it’s worth so much and it just gets abandoned 🤯 why❓
Beautiful AR you have
I just wanna say how much I love your videos. We don't have any places like the desert here in the uk. I love how you do a bit of research as well I really enjoyed the nan Dixon stuff as well.
I often wonder what happened in places like this and why they are left abandoned was it a Finacial issue, a health issue, death or something else. I also love how you take the kids as well. To many kids sit in front of the tv or video games Yours are getting out and about and getting fresh air and learning a bit of history at the same time Keep the videos coming. All the time you do these videos I shall keep watching 👍👍👍
Kindest regards dave
wow I have always wanted to explore into old abandoned places like this. I have a deep appreciation for history and how other people lived is so interesting for me. love looking at antiques...like rusty old pails with holes in them..no value....I like to imagine the history they hold and have been through. its thrilling! so cool to have stumbled upon a channel that does what I always wanted to do. Makes me happy to think maybe one day I will get a chance to do this and incorporate photography into it. love your work and how you seem like real down to earth good people with morals, not disrespecting or disturbing what you find and wanting others to do the same respectfully. keep it up!
Explore With Us & Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places are the two best exploring channels on TH-cam hands down. Great content per usual bro!
Beautiful location! Happy to see you are going to help protect it by not revealing it's location. It really reminds me of something you would find near the Verde Valley in Arizona where they would mine copper and silver. I just love all of the old equipment and miscellaneous things... those old hinges that are hanging off of the house are probably my favorite.
This is my favorite video so far!!! So cool!!! I've been binge watching your videos all weekend 💙 thank you for such awesome, quality content !!
Am I the only one that saw the assault rifle leaning against the old stove?
+Bud Williams Assault rifles are fully automatic not available to the general public and only wealthy people can afford them.
right! I doubt that's from early 1900's
+Thomas Marks The town dates back to the 1870's, but has been inhabited on and off since. It was once a booming gold mining town with many types of buildings and businesses. It's probably used today as a hunting cabin. Thanks for watching and I hope that clears up any confusion. :)
+Explore With Us was referring to the rifle not the town!
+Thomas Marks Okay, just figured I would respond with a little history of the site since I wasn't sure. I seen the 1900's mentioned, figured it was referring to the town site. :)
I have watched several videos from different explorers, and I have to say, that I appreciate the respect and care you show these places. Way to go!
Alex Scochi Thank you. :-)
Explore With Us
For some reason I am fascinated by the areas you seek out. Nevada must be amazing and creepy all at the same time, lol!
I really do love when you guys check out older stuff like this and the survival cabin I commented on yesterday. Going to have to subscribe now. Great videos!
Thank you,this was a really neat place to watch and I appreciate your time. . .
Thank you so much Tiffany.
Number seven of the eight rules written on the wall of the shack says: "No hitting Tina". She must have been a communal good time girl, a mule.......or both.
It was used as a clubhouse for kids.
Tina eventually may have been a dog or a cat
when people leave in such a hurry and leave dishes in sink clothes as if they vanished in thin air had to be something horrific happen so bad unreal.
really makes you think, doesn't it
+Christian Catchot yea it does I always wonder what could have happened too
Wanda Roderick Maybe they finally found a gold nugget as big as a VW in one of those mines and now live in a mansion in Italy. Its not always bad to take off in a hurry..
Wanda Roderick Maybe it was a consortium that won the lottery, anythings possible the plague maybe.
A lot of times other explorers also put things like that to make some cool photos. A photo where everything looks like they left in a hurry looks a lot cooler than on where you can tell they packed things away.
I just found these too and subscribed and am enjoying your exploring. My only suggestion is when there is a lot of stuff in view, you hold the frame for a bit longer. The idea is as long as it would take a viewer's eye to move over the frame, item by item. Moving over a lot of items fast makes me have to freeze the video. I don't mind doing that once or twice, but to have to do it many times interferes with the enjoyment. I am very impressed with what you are doing and how you are doing it. I love that you respect the places and leaving things virtually untouched. And very glad I found your channel. It is so amazing I just found this. I was on a recent flight on a clear day that was over West Virginia. Looking down you could see tiny little clusters or 2 or 3 buildings with no indication of how anyone could get there. They were nestled in the mountains and trees. I was wondering and watching the entire time....then found your channel. :)
I just subscribed. Like all the videos I have seen. You guys seem cautious and respectful and I like all the places I have seen so far.
Can you imagine how many trips out there it took to haul all that mining equipment and everything else out there let alone build it all!
1 rifle just explodes the comments? thats funny nobody seen a gun before? i was looking at the yard car, perfect for the farm.
+Andrew B I couldn't agree more, thank you for watching and posting.
Explore With Us I would of been like.. "FINDERS KEEPERS!" And made my way out with my new old truck 😍
The rifle caught my attention 'cause it looks pretty nice, and as I'm building one from scratch, I can't help wondering what his build consists of. Only part I can positively ID is the Magpul stock. I'm new to shooting, but I really enjoy it. Most TH-cam videos I watch revolve around firearms, and this is one of the first channels I've really loved that isn't focused on firearms or politics.
If I was younger & physically able to i'd love to go exploring these kind of places like you do.
Love your channel & all your videos.
This one of the most beautifully produced videos I have ever seen! Bravo!
This is so fascinating.
I do so enjoy not only the viewing of the sites discovered, explored, photographed and published. However in my 75 years aboard this blue marble I have discovered that I primarily enjoy those who comment on so many matters that are here to for unknown to the remaining intelligent beings residing on the marble! I finally understand that there are an inordinate amount of those who dispense such knowledge to the unwashed and uneducated masses prior to their performing the necessary and proper cleaning and maintenance of that certain bovine fecal matter filter that is normally located between the cranial gray matter and the speech, air and nourishment facial intake opening. Oh my, what have I missed?
I sure like to explore the deserts with you guys. Too bad there isn't a club or organization to do that. The great southwest desert is sure one place to explore. Love what you are doing.
Where are you located?
Thanks for the video. And thanks for your motivation and fortitude and willingness to publish your videos, they have inspired me and my wife to do similar exploitation of ghost towns and abandon places. Thanks again - keep them coming!
Ultra Blaze Thank you, and you and I hope you and the wife have safe and enjoyable explorations. :-)
That arc welder at 11:23 looks like it could be restored. Wonder how much it'd cost to restore it, and how much you could get for it at an auction. What really blows my mind is how good the condition of the tires on many of the vehicles look. Usually those are deflated and brittle, or completely gone.
Looked up how much that model currently runs for (in operational condition, of course). About $4K. I'm surprised they'd leave that behind. You'd think they'd sell off their assets to recoup their losses.
I'd like to see this place explored more.thanks.
The old iron entry gate to the mini mine is my very fav part of this site. A beautiful piece. Thanks for filming that
+Lynn Kornegay Thank you for the comment and support. Yeah, that was very interesting to see. It was the first time I came across one like that. I am glad you liked it.
The small old buildings (think you referred to them as shacks) are called "Smoke Houses" - they were for the purpose of - curing and smoking meats. There were no windows and one door, sometimes a small trap door on the side for the purpose of loading supplies in - wood foe smoking meats, etc. They hung hams from a rafter - that had been cured in vats of salt and they hung slabs of meats to age and smoke - dry.
After folks had access to meat markets or no longer raised or purchased fresh slaughters - they converted these in to Chicken coops or storage sheds.
We are mostly so far removed from this era - and have refridgeration - we've lost understanding of the essential purposs for food management w/o electricity.
There were smaller versions with cellars, use as ice housed and for storing milk/cream/butter - and vegetables -
Your free history lesson :-)
Enjoy your explorations and be safe!
+Beth Bartlett Very interesting, thank you once again for sharing valuable information! I really appreciate it. Also, thank you for the support.
I would LOVE that fridge!!
Can anybody else hear church bells ringing in the background on this video.
Yep
+rick hctep (Rick45) YEP
+rick hctep (Rick45) thought it was just me til i read the comments
+Jane Marie
Liked your reply, but sounded like church bells to me rather than bong bong.
Sounds like he played some music low in background. Can you verify this?
nice to see a place that has not been completely destroyed by vandals. with all the fly activity near the cabin door, makes you wonder if someone is there (or something) bet the fridge is nasty too. wish you checked out more of the mine and other holes
Fantastic!! Enjoyed so Much!!
+Merrill Brown Thank you, I really appreciate your comment.
It's irritating when you show stuff on camera like calendars (or food with expiration dates) that would date when these places were mainly lived in and/or last visited, yet you don't read the dates on camera. Making a point to do so in the future would make your videos more interesting to watch.
DanHarkless ﴾Halloween videos, YTPs, & more﴿
Seriously, I agree. And he needs to learn to hold the damn camera not facing the ground...
He did at least read the year on the news paper
Looks like the set for Fallout Nevada to me.
I enjoyed the video and subscribed to ya. I look forward to your other videos. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there!
+pusserwade Thank you for the kind words and support, much appreciated. :)
In the first building you walked past a calendar, twice. I kind of thought that would be something you would want to check out. Date and notes/reminders to be found there. Another great video!
I still think there is a dead prospector in that cabin.
Nobody will ever know, since their rules forbid finding that out. If there are, well, such is life. You grow old and die, then nature claims you.
I'm guessing that the weapon at 2.50 is your? Apart from that, what a great find.
+exileinderby51 Yeah, that's my personal protection. :) Thanks for watching.
boyz & their toyz...Always looking for a switch to flip or a button to push...lol. Seriously, I was instantly hooked on your videos. I just found your channel earlier today and can't stop watching. I LOVE exploring these 'time capsules'!! Thanks for your curiosity and for taking the time to show the rest of us.
LOL, so true! Thank you for the support, so happy you enjoy the videos. :-)
Very cool!!! Love these videos with all the stuff still just sitting there. Wonder what happened to the people? Looks like they lived there a long time. It was there home.
That scenery looks a lot like the scenery of the mining company in Clint Eastwood's movie Pale Rider.
You deserve more subscribers.
Thank you.
I just discovered your channel and have watched a few of your videos and you are an awesome explorer. I'm a new subscriber!
+Carolyn Perez Thank you, I really appreciate the support and the comment. :)
Love your videos! Watching them I wonder about the people from these abandoned places. They had to be some of the toughest you can imagine! Talk about heros, they are not he true ones, without them who would have opened the he west? Keep safe!
this reminds me of the hills have eyes
nice to see place like this.
+datapakx25 They are far and few between, but when you find them, it's definitely worth the effort. Thanks for the comment and watching.
Just came channel and i LOVE it ! some of the places you've gone to have beautiful views. since these places are abandoned . Does someone essentially own these places? Without them even knowing ?
Thanx keep them coming😁
I like watching these videos very entertaining day best
So, what that your rifle leaning up against an old freezer (cooler?)? It looked too well maintained to just be sitting out there. LOL
So far I like your exploring then some of the others I've watched ..
awesome video Bob!
+Chris Geigle Thank you Chris. :)
I miss this content so much
wow they left a NICE AR !
Great explore!. Nicely done. I subed your channel.
Thank you for the support. :-)
Another awesome vid !! You guys explore some of the coolest places. But one thing i did notice at the beginning of the Vid was that Folgers coffee can was a newer plastic style can. so i think someone has been their in the last couple of years, most likely stays in that locked up house. i would really like to see whats in their !
Thank you for the kind comment. I think they completely abandoned the place around 2005 or 2006. From everything we could find, this seemed about the time it was abandoned. I think the plastic coffee can falls in those dates too? I agree, I would love to see what is in those buildings.
+Explore With Us No problem be safe !
holy! that mattress that dark stain is possible blood. please if yall go back be super careful
what year was the calendar that was hanging up in beginning?
1981. But they saw something else that said 1986 on it.
Do you guys keep one relic from every place you explore? I would. A small one is enough. Like that newspaper or even an oven switch then date them when you found them with a picture or something of where you did and an estimate of how old it is! Great videos!
Cool hobby! Unfortunateley germany has very few of places like this. I'd totally see me doing that, thx for the inspiration. Subbed!
Thank you. :-)
You found the Lost Dutchmans Mine...
+normsolwind LOL, I wish! Thanks for posting.
I could move right in
When I see this footage, two questions immediately form in my head. One: were the people that lived here happy, what was their life like? Second: what set of circumstances occurred to cause them to leave, seemingly from one minute to the next ( dishes still in the drying rack untouched). In any case excellent video. Thank you.
what a neat mining camp! great find, very interesting!
+Danny Boy Thank you for the comment and support.
Looks like that cup is from the 70's..
The Hills have Eyes!
josh awsome videos u have
Amazing place you've come too. Ghost town..cool places you find...
It's nice to see old things not all smashed up..what state is this in?
+58belvedere That's why I love this place, it's a rare find. I fear the vandals will eventually find it and destroy the place. This is in the middle of the Nevada desert, up a small valley. The change in the environment is amazing. In about 60 seconds you go from pure desert to a forest oasis. I should have taken more video of getting there.
It would be great place to metal detect as well. I would see if I could get the old engines started. maybe get a gps location and see if the place it up for taxes maybe get the place real cheap. Awesome videos I'm a new subscriber.I wish I could hind places in pa like this. The Brothel looks like the place I seen on tv years go, A old lady ran the place and everything as on video.
I would love to buy this old place if it weren't on Public Land, but unless they have a public land sale, I don't know how one could purchase it. Thank you for subscribing and the support. I will look into public land auctions and see if there is any chance this area might be up for sale.
6:23 it's the BAT SIGNAL!
The water tank stain
the bat cave is in that mine BATMAN IS REAL #BATMANISREAL2016
I saw that to
Thanks for the point. Embarrassed had to back for it, but right on the money!
Was gonna ask what everyone asked already but nevermind lol! I enjoy your videos! Some creepy but mostly interesting.
did I see PVC pipe after you showed the engine? this mine couldn't have been abandoned much before the 70s or 80s. slot of neat stuff to check out . awesome vid man.
Thank you. :-)
See this is the kind of videos I miss. Why did you all stop doing these and went full on crime documentaries? We have that already on Investigative Discovery. Please explain and thank you.
Right! I miss this so much! I used to watch Explore with us back when I was 8-10 along with Sam and Colby!
"No hitting Tina." Guess they shared her.
HI EWU, crew I know that I seen this a long time back , but I guess I did not leave you a comment . I will now before I forget again .LOL. I watch it again it is a very nice video. thanks for sharing you guys. take care.
SUBSCRIBED. what a great visual trip honestly. The constant comments that it's fake and fabricated or new is comical ...why would somebody go to the middle of nowhere and spend (probably) months on months aging stuff and building old buildings just to film a video and then move on. If you are I'm still a subscriber because that's alot of work and I'm entertained.
I see enough evidence to say that place was occupied rather recently (last few years) .
+Bob G It's possible it's used annually as a hunting cabin. Thanks for posting and watching. :)
You've gained a new subscriber. Keep up the good work when you can. The mine and its related structures leaves one wondering what really went on here. Was it claim issues or the owner died in one of the mines leaving everything as it was? You could have stumbled on to a crime scene or something to that effect. Stay safe and good luck and just thinking, you might take along a radiation detecting device as uranium is found in this area. You and yours don't need to get a nasty dose of radiation sickness. Without a detection device you'll never know until you start getting sick and it comes on pretty quickly once the dosage gets high enough.
+William Charles Thank you, words cannot express the gratitude I have for comments like this! I agree, there are so many questions when I find places like this. I have been back a few times, and nothing changes. I hope to find someone staying there to get a history of the place, but no such luck. I have always wanted a Geiger counter, but they are a bit pricey. But now that you mention it as a safety issue, I will have get one asap.
Explore With Us You are welcome, my friend. I wish that I could join you during your explorations, but at my age, I don't think that I would do very well on the hiking portion, though. I'm glad that there are folks like you that are willing to go to the trouble to document their exploits so people like me can enjoy what you have discovered. For this I say many thanks. On the Geiger counter, maybe you can come across one that's used and in good condition. You may have better luck than usual since you live in a part of the country where the counter would be put to wider use than most places. There's always the pawn shop,(Pawn Stars?), :-) or maybe a place that sells metal detectors or ask around with some fellow explorers. Either way, I wish you luck and hope that you uncover more interesting and unusual places.
+William Charles You're more than welcome to join us anytime. I know of plenty of places to go where hiking is not required. Just let me know. I currently have over 2,000 places to check out, but the snow is putting the exploring on hold. I hope it melts soon. Thanks again for the support. :)
Explore With Us Thank you for the invite. If I'm ever out your way I'd be glad to join you fine folks. I'm presently in North Florida, but you never know. I've been wanting to see your part of the country for a long time. You have an amazing list of places to check. I hope you have a light winter as you probably hate being cooped up in the house. With so much to explore I'd be "chompin' at the bit" to get outdoors, too. Thanks, again for the invite.
+William Charles I look forward to it, so when you finally make it West, be sure to let me know. You are 100% correct, I can't wait to get rid of this snow so I can get back out and see some new places. Being cooped up for winter is hard!
Nevada is literally teeming with fascinating old abandoned mining ruins, a ton of shafts, and abandoned, turn of the century communities! I grew up in Nevada's northeast corner, and my family comes from central Nevada, around Ely, and you could spend years exploring, and getting a glimpse of how gold and silver fever dragged people from all over the country to strike it rich, only to end up broke, disillusioned and abandoning their whole life's work, with nearly everything left behind. A lot of ghosts in these old abandoned places, and you can literally feel the desperation dripping off of them, like sweat... sad, but fascinating!
Awesome video! you've done nothing wrong, but educate your viewer's. I just subscribed to your channel. 10 thumbs up on this one! Thank you for sharing this!
+Veronica Morgan Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment and support. You've made my day. :)
looks like the manson family was thre
I doubt the Manson Family was there because of the note in the with rules and one says "NO POT!"
Would make a good bug out spot.
wow that is one of the coolest vids I ever saw thanks for sharing how exiting for you to find it ;)
+Ann Smyth Thanks. :)
love the video! you inspire mine!
Thank you. :-)
Only comment I would make is when you are filming please go a little slower, It is hard
to follow jerky movements and ruins what you are filming. I saw many parts that
intrigued me but unable to seem them because of movement. Like the video though.
I've been to many parts of the world and expored abandone building and installation.
I wish I would have had a camera back then to record my adventures and strange
discoveries.
+James Maxwell I know what you mean and have since purchased a stabilizer that I have yet to use, but will be using it a lot after the snow melts. I do have a second part of this filmed with a different camera (inferior camera), but it was really more focused on the small details inside the very old shack. I will try to get that posted soon. I bet those places would have made some really cool videos. Thank you for the suggestion and feedback.
Another great video
I will claim the truck .the ,jeep ,and the camper
Did you notice that everything was on maybe the guy powered up everything and climbed in the mine and it collapsed why would he leave trucks and all that valuable equipment
Wow that is a spectacular place. I enjoyed this. A piece of history. I wish I was there to explore.
Wrong turn 😆
and what about that nice looking AR 15 in 2:51? was that yours? if now then some one was/is there!
+Jacob Bro that was my question too.
it had to be theirs because it was not rusted or anything lol
I wondered too but, why would someone bring that AND his kids? Hmmm..
+CharliBaltimore you've never seen the hills have eyes
Brandon Goleski actually I have, its been awhile but I have. I think there was a couple versions as I think I remember seeing one way back when, probably b4 you were born. Isn't there a Hills have eyes 2? Maybe not..
Viewers - understand that - items and structures, left/adandoned, in the desert, do not weather and rust or even hold dust, as they do in the zones with moisture and humidity.
Bodies mummify rather than decay as expected.
+Beth Bartlett Thank you, finally someone who understands how the desert preserves places like this. :)
Love your vids
Glad to see you go armed, it is only prudent.
Too bad you could get shots of the inside of that house.
+Jim Hunt I know, I really wanted to get a look around too. Would have shed more light on when the last people had stayed there.
+Jim Hunt bet the ole boy is still sitting in there!
Tfs..absolutely amazing ...I'd love to know the stories, how does this even happen?..😀
very cool thank you for the video !
Thank you. :-)
could you pm me I have questions I'd like to ask.
Too clean and modern looking.
+Steve Stanfill The lack of cobwebs and other such stuff makes me wonder about the veracity of this vid.
+amber cutter Yeah, everyone is out toe deceive you. We got noting better to do. :)
LOVE this video, great job, part of me was telling you to grab an oxygen bottle lol
Thank you. :-)
My Papa would lookup certain mines or ghost towns in Central & southern Nevada load up Mama and go explore even on hunting, and fishing trips Pop's was a traveling encyclopedia love your ❤️ channel memories 😂❣️ aglore. Thank You again.
