Amalgam Roast Plant, kind of like a Retort but unlike a Retort the Mercury is not recovered but escapes into the atmosphere as an extremely toxic gas thus the remote location then the Gold is left behind in the ashes from the Roast Plants floor.
@@scottprather5645 Only worried if someone dropped dead instantly in those days. I remember playing with mercury with my finger in Elementary school science class when the teacher passed around a plate of mercury just poured out of vile.
Where you were pointing is the fire wall and there has NEVER been a vehicle with a gas tank there. It would have been under the bus on the frame. I should know I drove one !
Looks like they drove the bus and panel truck in there then removed the engines and gas tanks to use them to power other equipment necessary to create electricity, pump water, or to run whatever that place produced.
Nova Scotia has a very real collection of locations heavily contaminated by mercury from gold mining which peaked for the last time around 1945. Arsenic is also an issue. The enviro policy is inflexible here which kills new mining proojects before they get off the ground. These places are now just grid references in the backwoods mainly with odd bits of durable junk amongst the bushes due to the damp climate here.
Interesting channel sir. Trade post? Processing...refining...such...it's in a nice valley so to see. Hard to find. So maybe refinery sounds more close to the truth. Not sure it's far gone. To me it seems like the perfect spot tucked away, for refining indeed. But I'm no expert at all, more a strategist haha ;) Good luck! I'll be checking the uploads seems really fun!
So I m not asking for exact location, but what general area are you, in this video. Death Valley, Mojave, calif, Nevada. I enjoy your videos. I will be headed to nevada/calif in 2024. Been looking on Google maps for areas to explore.
Just the local rednecks practicing their 2nd amendment rights. In all my years as a backcountry explorer, I've found that anything that can be shot up, is.
Timestamp 3:07. Looks like a access road to haul material up to where the building project took place. Maybe they were cooking some type of illegal drugs. Liner for the pipe/ hat pipe? For mercury processing?
You should see how they get the lithium for your phone. We have destroyed a lot of Earth so we can mine for our batteries. Go look at the conditions African minors live in so you can use electronic devices. We are all guilty of this corruption, as we use these devices.
Both vehicles would be great restoration projects , just to bad there's so many destructive jackazzes in the world , that ruin things for others , instead of self discipline , so it can be enjoyed by future explores !
@@bonhamsghost6798 Worked in auto body paint and repair for a number of years , anything is possible when there's not many examples available ! So what is your mastery ???
@@davekreitzer4358 I’m not even talking about the bodies, no engine? No axles? What do you think the value of that stuff laying in the desert for nearly a hundred years is? Restoration needs to have an end game. Neither vehicle seemed rare and unique. Being a body man doesn’t make you a restoration expert either when it gets to that level.
I wonder if there is any record for geological surveys of the area. It would be a pain in the butt to go to the town hall and dig through records, but I think that's the best bet.
They were melting down ancient artifacts that we are not supposed to know about. Salt Lake City as well as San Francisco and other cities were already built and there before we ever got there.
That’s exactly what I said, I can’t believe he can’t see the shit right in front of his freakin’ eyes, it’s so detailed and beautiful, I am so jealous he got to go there. He obviously needs some glasses worse than I do. This site is massive and breathtaking, and changes everything- like all of em would. Cheers
That's exactly what I was thinking.... there are bullet holes all over the panel van. Looks like they were coming from the direction of the mill/plant area.
Dude! You should have stayed in junior high and learned how to spell! “ MYSTERIOUS “!! As far as the site goes, have you ever heard of “Breaking Bad “???🤣🤣🤣
I've nearly stepped on many of them and they never rattled, not one. Dogs get bitten then they rattle something fierce and it sends a chill through your body and you to the emergency vet with your dog. Texas, Crotalus atrox. @@wthomas5697
It's so wonderful how the white man is as one with nature. I mean you can barely tell anyone was ever there. So what about those cables in the panel truck, they didn't look that old and you didn't say anything about them?

They ran amalgam retort ovens on the same barges as the dredges. I don’t think a remote location is needed. But you could be right.
If that's true that area would be heavily contaminated with mercury

It’s in the middle of nowhere for a reason.
Acme anvils were made here until Wylie E. Coyote and The Roadrunner went off the air and the market fro anvils to drop on the roadrunner dried up.
That whole area looks like a haven for rattlesnakes, with all the tin sheets, wood and abandoned vehicles lying around.
Love your videos dude. Thanks for doing this
Where you were pointing is the fire wall and there has NEVER been a vehicle with a gas tank there. It would have been under the bus on the frame. I should know I drove one !
Wrong. Thats exactly where model T gas tanks were located.
I always love a site with old cars left behind.
Looks like they drove the bus and panel truck in there then removed the engines and gas tanks to use them to power other equipment necessary to create electricity, pump water, or to run whatever that place produced.
The can then be used as storage.
Very interesting... Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Nice little outing

Panel van is a 40-49 international

Clandestine meth lab? Lots of privacy. Look for Los Pollos Hermanos fast food wrappers.
You found the lost Dutchman mine, sort of.
DUH! It was obviously a bucket factory.
it is a mill--they used 5 gallon buckets for the mill balls,easier to handle--these sites are all over nevada and parts of eastern calif
Made me think of Into the Wild the movie. If those vehicles could talk! Very interesting.
Interesting. Possibly a still? Prohibition era?
This is from a prior reset. Everything is pretty much underground at this point.
Maybe theres a mine nearby you are unaware of?
It looks like someone had a big idea that didn’t get very far
😂 cant go wrong , with the old bus, 😂 and the panel truck!
So I
m not asking for exact location, but what general area are you, in this video. Death Valley, Mojave, calif, Nevada. I enjoy your videos. I will be headed to nevada/calif in 2024. Been looking on Google maps for areas to explore.
Water is needed for processing ore. The valley is a pooping place as many processes are located at water sources. Just a speculation.
The bus is late thirty or forties , garden hoses in bus not that old and still look good.
I don't see any mention of all the bullet holes through the panel van thar seem to originate from the direction of the mill/plant....
Oh now that’s interesting as it’s an ancient site and they were stealing. Probably shot each other after melting shit down. Unless it was kids/nuts.
Just the local rednecks practicing their 2nd amendment rights. In all my years as a backcountry explorer, I've found that anything that can be shot up, is.
@driftless1337 it’s not it’s one of hundreds.
You can tell by the quartz / granite, that was a gold processing site. Maybe they. Ever placed a legal claim and worked it anywY.
That van An LS motor is all it needs!
That building was the office and unofficial bar for the district 37 experts dirt bike club, it also was used as a Maico workshop funny enough.
Timestamp 3:07. Looks like a access road to haul material up to where the building project took place. Maybe they were cooking some type of illegal drugs. Liner for the pipe/ hat pipe? For mercury processing?
Whatever they were doing, they made a mess in a pretty area
Ya, certainly not environmentalists.
Miners are good at that.
You should see how they get the lithium for your phone. We have destroyed a lot of Earth so we can mine for our batteries. Go look at the conditions African minors live in so you can use electronic devices. We are all guilty of this corruption, as we use these devices.
I disagree. They made an area that would have been nothing but a desolate pass through into an interesting area....
Seems like it was a trading post with a base camp for the mines around where no towns close.the busses could have been used to make trips into a town
i live in a bus when i went to the Uranium mines in the MOAB AREA..my father owned....are you there
Bruh, that was the original set of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It could be a tram platform for ore buckets or a Gondola platform that goes to a nearby mine shafts on the side of a hill/mountain inline with it.
Both vehicles would be great restoration projects , just to bad there's so many destructive jackazzes in the world , that ruin things for others , instead of self discipline , so it can be enjoyed by future explores !
Some people shouldn't be allowed outside without responsible adult supervision. I'm amazed they weren't tagged with every color of the rainbow.
Don’t know how much restoration that you’ve done but there is very little to work with. You could spend your money better elsewhere.

The first structure looked like a storage bunker. Wished you would have got closer to inspect. The bus looks like converted storage, panel truck too.
It looks like an old limestone plant
From a distance. It looks like a german bunker. but really cool lol
Looks like a super fund cleanup site. I hope you throw your boots out before going home.
That bus likely dates from the early thirties with the wood framing?
I was thinking 38 to 40 ?
Please let us know what that was ALL bout. Odd it is, thank you stay safe
Rooden woof. I laughed.
Lmao 😂
That bus is older than we think
Jeepers creepers movie van, lol nice area

Salt Lake City as well as San Francisco and other cities were already built and there before we ever got there.

Interesting how far their junk was spread out.
Hippie commune?
Have the soil analyzed.
Old movie set?
That's exactly what I was thinking.... there are bullet holes all over the panel van. Looks like they were coming from the direction of the mill/plant area.
that would be a DHARMA Initiative station. there was one in the US. i thought it was in Los Angeles though.
Have you taken samples from the entrance and area? You know that 15 miles is zero in geographical terms.
All this is most likely San Bernardino County…
I have seen many places like this in central Washington. And asked the same question. Looks like that’s whaerenyoumnare
They made the filaments for flux capacitor prototypes out there... very dangerous work must be 50miles from nowhere...
Maybe
Dude! You should have stayed in junior high and learned how to spell! “ MYSTERIOUS “!! As far as the site goes, have you ever heard of “Breaking Bad “???🤣🤣🤣
It was woeked illegaly for plaster materal????
Hey fella, what’s inside??
That is what I wanted to see!
@@barbaramccoy6448 well at least we agree on something haha
If there are tunnels, that cold say alot more
one of Heisenbergers hide outs....
Take several soil samples, it will tell you your question.
Heisenberg's last lab.
In which country
Lime kiln. From the looks of it.
Why does it seem like you’re not afraid of stepping on a rattlesnake?
They'll let you know if you're about to step on them. He'll experience the appropriate level of fear at that time.

seems like they were processing broken dreams.
they where processing POT... it's clearly all gone to pot! ;)
Chupacabra cloning camp. Run for your life.
Looks like an amalgam plant retort.
Thats a an old timey clandestine methamphetamine laboratory good sir.
Burning limestone?
NO I COULD GO TO A JUNKYARD no excitement here to go exploring I will let you do it for me. lol
Nevada needs to call 1-800-got junk or develop a few make work projects. 🤔
How do you know that’s Nevada?
@@StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz I’ve been there 👀
@@bcbconklin good enough
I would think whiskey
It's so wonderful how the white man is as one with nature. I mean you can barely tell anyone was ever there.

Wondering the same thing about those hoses or cables or whatever they were in the panel truck?
Moon shine.
TNT / dynamite storage.
Maybe Bootlegger’s 🤠
mysterious, isn't it...
Ancient Mayans built it. I can tell.
moonshine!
I think inside if u push a button it might take u down stairs to Men In Black H.Q
Yes... Possible 1st meth lab in US? LOL...
copper
Alcohol maybe
Remote home sted. They were living like cave people.
Moonshine?
Old meth lab.
Meth mine
Just your typical meth lab from the 1860's. Later occupied by the Manson family and others.
Obvious Meth Lab.
