Glad to see it is still fairly well preserved! Thank you for documenting and respecting the grounds. I'm sure you've dug into it but what a guy... served in WWII and hopefully lived out his days in peace building this little oasis. From what I can find this claim and an adjacent one were recently purchased by possible foreign investor. Could be mining corps trying to consolidate old patented claims in order to start new workings? Will be visiting soon one last time before it's all gone...

And those old, expired phone books in the outhouses weren't there for reading materials. They were for wiping.

I sure miss when i was younger and had older places to look into. I visited some old factory with desks with drawers of stuff, old file cabinets with stuff, some old equipment, leaky water pipes, broken glass was a concern and some crumbling concrete in places.. but looked like the workers left an never came back. Been in a fertilizer warehouse that used the bottom floor, some folks found a way into the 3rd story an played paint ball an had a plywood kind of course set up but the second floor had very little at all.. but it was an old cigar factory my great grandmother worked in. Been in some older 40s an 50s homes that seemed ransacked but looked like the owners up an left an never came back. Been in a few other abandoned factories, and odd buildings. But this was a neat video to me an brought back my old exploration feeling.. Thank you, for making an sharing this video.

Would love to explore places like that! Sounds like so much fun. We are glad you enjoyed this video, it’s nearly 4 years old now and we have learned a lot since this one better mics so the sound is much nicer. Hope to see you on more adventures!

I think those bottle caps just give a small visual of all the countless man hours grimly chiseling away at that hard rock. And I feel certain they don’t actually represent the real amount of sodas chugged down up there. Most probably rusted away out in the desert or thrown in trash. Billions upon billions upon billions of hours of labor has gone on before us on this planet. So easy to shrug that off and forget it. Hope we aren’t the generation to lose this great experiment in a republic . Anyway very fascinating places! That one cabin with the fire place I just couldn’t help but to imagine people sitting there warming themselves up and telling stories . No cell phone distractions. I do think one of those little shacks looked like it might have been an old phone booth with dry rotting phone books hanging on the wall . Love you guys. Were all watching and riding along with you.

Ron, those generations who came before us had a concept of what to do with their trash than we do. More often than not it was simply thrown into low spots in the woods up North, hollers and creeks in the Midwest, gullies and river washes out west. Old cars were used as Detroit Riprap for erosion control and property markers. Hot Rodders and Customizers bemoan finding cars rotting away in forgotten junkyards. People used to throw their trash into outhouse holes 🕳. A University Archeological student came to dig up my Grammy's backyard for the bottles, bones, and crockery back in the late 1990s.

Being the claim holder I can tell you this place was destroyed after the location has been given out by KZreadrs who have no respect for anything. That cabin was livable around 2008. Also, very few people have a clue what the history of this family was. Like a lot of the welding and bottle art was done by a man that was probably artistic. The family also owned a lot of businesses including the Pepsi distributing in Inyo county. Also a veteran! We currently have hidden cameras everywhere there and other local mines because of all the vandalism, theft, and destruction.

Hi guys! Ralph here. Just saw you on the Belmont Mill episode with Wonderhussy and thought I’d pop on over and ‘let’s take a look’ at what you’re doing. I just subscribed. I have a KZread channel too if you’d like to take a look. Ralph Guest is the channel name and my name too. I bought a 2004 Tacoma brand new and she’s still running like a top 18 years later. Look to giving you a proper look when I’ve got the time. I just discovered Wonderhussy a couple months ago and I’ve been watching her episodes chronologically from the beginning so I can take in the whole Wonderhussy story from start to finish. So I’m up to May 2021 and moving fast up the calendar to 2022 about 150 episodes away. She has about 770 of them! I’ve been binge watching her since I found her. She is very entertaining and you can’t help but fall in love with her. So I wanted to give you a a shout out and look forward to seeing more of you. Cheers, mates!

My Dad worked in a iron mine back in the twentieth century, and he told me that those tags were numbered for each miner for safety reasons.

Glad you liked it, Amy. One of our older ones so the sound quality isn't as good. Hope you enjoy the rest of our content.

bottle tree looked like a grave site to me. The rocks, iron bars over it.

You are correct. It was quite a common site (sans bottles) in Arizona. You can still see grave markers like this all over AZ if you get back off the road far enough. I used to find these all the time 30 to 40 years ago when I did backroad Jeep tours.

I thought the same. In outback Australia we have lots of graves which often belonged to bushies or swaggies(transient workers or bushrangers/unemployed/etc) scattered around in desolate isolated areas.

When I was a kid my family went to death valley we found an abandoned mine went inside about 40 yards and found over 300k in old bottles and tin food containers we said we would go back when I was older but it's been 50 years since we were there and got all that money worth of stuff we left ten times as much as we took with us if not then times that you couldn't see the far side of the stuff left inside the mine there was several hundred oil lamps from the 1800s

We get so excited when we come across artefacts, but, we always leave everything behind for other explorers to discover. Plus, anything over 50 years old is covered under the antiquities act. Did your family sell the stuff back then?

@@darronshirley7886 Thanks for sharing Darron. Hopefully one day you will return to the mine, and still find the artefacts. But leave them there for others to enjoy.

Don’t ever leak this location. In my state the KZreadrs and TikTok’s have ruined abandoned site exploration by drawing vandals in. The DNR and state are demolishing buildings and filling in caves left and right.

As you saw from our video, we didn’t and won’t give out locations. It is such a shame that people feel the need to vandalise and loot. We even delete comments who say where these places are and block them if they continue to do so.

I agree. Thankfully the community is starting to push back where I live. We try to make them into living museums so they stay around another 100 years

@SurvivenTerry that is a wonderful idea. We know of quite a few “adopt a cabin “ where people have done up old mining cabins. People can stay there overnight. Most respect the cabins, clean up after themselves and leave some cans of food or emergency supplies. Could save someone’s life in the middle of the desert! Obviously there are those who don’t have many brain cells and want to destroy! We are losing so much of the history that’s another reason why we document these places. If you do feel like sharing other historical sites with us please email info4pinintheatlas@gmail.com

I wonder what became of the folks who spent long hours digging in those hills? To accumulate all those bottles and caps, there must have been several people over a number of years.

It all adds to the mystery of these types of explores, Sandy. There is documentation online about the people who mined here. But if we give out that info, it will give the location away for vandals and scrappers. So we are asking people not to do that in their comments.
