- Battery Mills (1921-1946) - Battery Mills was a reinforced concrete, World War I 12 inch coastal gun battery on Fort Hancock (2), New Jersey. The battery was named after Albert L. Mills (Cullum 2796), a Spanish-American War Medal of Honor recipient. Battery construction started in March 1917, was completed 2 Apr 1921 and transferred to the Coast Artillery for use 2 Apr 1921 at a cost of $ 297,933.04. Deactivated in 1946.
As a Boy Scout we used to camp here. We would set up camp and spend all of our free time exploring. The closing picture is very familar. There was rumored to be a tunnel connecting all the bunkers but we were never able to find it. I did get into the ventlation system and almost crashed and burned a number of times. But it was fun watching and spooking the groups of scouts that went by below by lighting off firecrackers behind them, man what a sound. This was 50 years ago so I would think that things have changes some.
My dad would take us there as kids. There used to be a lot more buildings back then. One time, I found a grenade on the beach! They closed the beach and sent everyone home. lol Great Video!
Line of Sight my buddy works there now. With the changing beaches, they’re always finding unexplored munitions. New Jersey bomb squad gets a lot of OT there! Lol

That would be cool to fix up and live in.
Where is that bunker at I always wanted to find it but I cant
It’s in the bayside
Awesome video Patrick!! I camped at Battery Mills as a kid a long time ago. We were never able to get inside the bunker. Always wondered what it looked like in there. Kinda scary! Thanks for sharing!!
Are you permitted to be in these buildings freely? Or were you trespassing. I want to go, but don’t want to be breaking any laws.
Ryan Morrison i work on sandy hook and there are occasionally guided tours, but otherwise no one is permitted inside

I've seen some of these bunkers but could never get in but the way we had our structures in place makes you wonder how come Germany didnt try attacking their technology was highly superior in the time they used it on other countries but not ours this is interesting
