Those trailers look like a portable mill. The missing half of the pickup was likely turned into a trailer, as was the fate of many old pickups up until recently.
I really liked watching it...and I like the way you presented it - in a natural, relaxed and informative way. It was great to watch it while having my coffee.🖐🖐🖐🌟
Thank you folks for sharing your finds I think is great you both are awesome and to the young lady thank you for your fact of the places I love history
Loved the old truck. It’s amazing how people lived. Cardboard and magazines for insulation and walls. And the graves. Loved the sqeeky door. Great find guys thanks.
We really enjoy discovering places like this. So much to explore and we always try to picture what it would have been like to live there and the daily routines of the inhabitants.
It would be worthwhile you guys getting a 'grabbastick' so as to be able to pick up items, such as papers, without touching them or having to bend down, & to open doors without going too close. They can also be usefull when you are not tall enough to reach something.
Amazing how all the machinery/trucks materials for building are brought to these remote locations and then just left. The good thing is that the hoodlums have not been there. Great explore
We are always amazed at how much is left. Why did they leave and when? So many questions unanswered. And it’s always nice to see when the vandals haven’t got there. Glad you enjoyed the pin. Lots more to come.
Hiya, big machinery needed to be driven, so maybe the short truck drove a big generator providing local power/ who knows.. Thanks for the video.. Ian - UK.
Those trucks are Dodge Power Wagons. They were very sought after, the ultimate civilian heavy truck for remote destinations. Thje engines were tough and powerful, but the transmissions were amazing. They had real low gears and were indestructable. I believe they were the trucks or some of them used in the 1977 film, "Socerer."
Interesting stuff! The trucks are definitely 1940s, probably post war, possibly Army surplus. The big trailer mounted machine is possibly a washer or classifier, used to wash out the ore? Somewhere in the camp there is probably a power generation plant, as the big machines are electrically powered. (note control panel at the right end of one side)
Thank you very much for this very interesting and informative video presentation which is very much appreciated by the people. The discoveries you made are absolutely fascinating, it is amazing how pleasant the people were able to make their homes despite being in such a remote area.
You are more than welcome, John. It amazes us too. We try and visualise the people who made these places home and what their lives would have been like. Hats off to them. These days people panic if they don't have cell service for 5 minutes! LOL We hope you continue watching our explores and enjoy each and every one.
In East Germany they used shredded paper that was pressed together or hay between the walls in the castle guards barracks. We saw it when they were remodeling the apartment.
Thanks, Monty. You're right, there are so many interesting and abandoned places in Nevada. I don't think we could ever get tired of exploring this beautiful state.
I'm late getting here to view this but I had an uncle that was a WW2 veteran and they had a place they rented in Maine that had many layers of newspaper that had been used on the walls as wallpaper. It would seem that the old trucks were from an earlier era than some of the items in the buildings such as appliances. Maybe this camp/outpost was used during 2 different time frames or the owners were just there a real long time and did some upgrades in the later years of occupancy. Travel safe.
As far as we know, this town did have occupants right up into the early 90s. Not sure why it became abandoned. You could be right, though, about different time frames. Miners did come and go. Thanks for sharing about your Uncle.
@@PinInTheAtlas I’m surprised at everything they had way out there. At first we saw the power pole so I thought they were getting power from outside. Then there was cabin after cabin and the little shed where the timbers were soaked with oil and diesel fuel. As one gentleman said that was the generator shed. Did you discover the water source? I’m think the big cabin was the owner’s and the other smaller ones were for workers and maybe some family members too. It’s a pretty extensive installation and expensive too. Every cabin had water and power so it must have been turning out decent profits for all. One of the better old camps I have seen, nice tour, nice video.
@@evanswinford7165 It certainly was a great place to explore, and excitement set in when we saw how much was left. (which is why we don't give out the locations on places like this - help protect them for others to explore). No, we didn't find the source.
I was really impressed by the size of those rooms in that cabin. I live in a tiny one bedroom apartment, and the rooms are very small. My sister lives with me, making it tight.
Both of those Dodges are 1940 ex-miltary 1 1/2-ton 4x4 trucks. Proof: the round holes in the grilles were for brush guard supports. And one is still painted olive drab.
Hello Steven and Andrea. I figured since I was the new guy that I would binge watch some of your previous videos. I wonder if any of those trucks had engines in them. I noticed a floor shift in the first truck. That old camper trailer look like it could have been a old Airstreams. Love your videos
Thank you so much. Our earlier videos are a bit rough around the edges as we didn't have a mic. Hopefully, we have remedied that now. It's all a huge learning curve.
Some people are willing to live in hard, arduous situations for the slim chance of making a strike. Greed driven? Perhaps dream driven? More likely a hefty dose of both?
@James Gibbs -- Are you prepared to drive over 120 miles ( one way ) every 6 months to get your Groceries & Supplies . I've seen over 2 feet of SNOW in that Camp . --- < Doc > .
2:00 I've seen big similar tubes at a cinnibar mine vicinity of Lovelock. 6:00 those bedsprings are pretty comfy. Must have had plenty of water for all those bathrooms. 28:00 generator building.. muffler was hole in the ground.
Good to know Jack. Thanks for the info. If you have any suggestions on explores, please feel free to send them to us via email. info4pinintheatlas@gmail.com. As you probably know, we don't give out locations very often to protect them from vandals and scavagers.
The last truck by design to me was in the 1950's. You notice the two folding camping chairs? From the style no more than 20 years old. It was a impressive mining town in it's day. It was a very good exploring.
We believe hunters have also been using the camp. Maybe they left the chairs - obviously, we'll never know for sure. Glad you enjoyed our adventure. We have many more to come.
That long tube machine[ is a portable rotary kiln used for sulfide ores like cinnabar or cement lime. Don't know what it is doing at a silver and lead mine though. The other long portable machine has shaker tables on it so it could have been used there. The trailer is a late thirties model. I just finished restoring one in that age range.
That looks like a 1945 (war time) Ford pickup. Pretty rare. As noted, the PTO (power take off) was probably used to drive machinery. 4:24 It’s amazing the two Dodge Power Wagons were left on site. The Power Wagon seems to be the preferred truck, of the majority of miners.
The green lights are the mic pack. It’s a great mic but a little bulky and gets in the way of the explore. As far as locations are concerned, unless they are well known we don’t give them out to protect them from vandals and looters.
The first machine you showed is a tromel. It was used to wash rocks to get the gold that may be stuck to the rock. Then the gold would end up on mats in which the mats would be washed clean to remove the gold from them. I like your videos. Thank You
Way too long for a trommel to wash rocks, and you didn't notice the insulation running the whole length. Too bad the camera didn't poke it's head inside!
Well, i liked you so much i decided to join ya! Yee-Haa!! Now no matter where you go i'll know i can find ya:) And so now..., that big trailer mounted "drum" looking thing. That looked like a rotary roaster. Not absolutely sure on that. Chances are it is. usually you can find some kind of a roaster at a mine/millsite that dealt with sulfide ores. The next two campers you showed are interesting. The one looks like it's on a truck bed. The little outhouse looking shed with the vent above the door and on the back wall looks like it was the generator shack. The houses were in real good shape for how long they've been out there. There was a key hook marked assay office was hoping to see some trace of it. Indeed, i do wonder who the people were, where they went, even why they left. Age, sickness, ore ran out? Sometimes them old places leave you with more ???'s than answers. Can't pin this one on my atlas, don't know where it is;and that's good; maybe it'll be saved for future generations to stumble on a ponder the same ??'s. Another great video! I was looking for a rat to jump out of the attic:) You'd still here me screaming all the way down that canyon. Y'all have a g'day!!
These places are so remote I imagine once the ore ran out, there was no point in staying! Just a guess! We found out later there is a mill and ore bin further up the canyon. So, another visit is in order to explore those.
So what intrigues me about all the places you share with us, frequently miles from nowhere and in desert country to boot, where did they get water? Drilled or trucked in? The obviously needed water for drinking, but also many mining and refining processes required water as well, and if I understand correctly, large amounts of water. Been pondering this for a while...:) Be well Steve and Andrea

It would have been really nice if you would have at least opened the hood of the trucks to let us see the old engines, if they were still there. And a shot of the underneath drive train would have been appreciated, especially on the green truck, as I could tell from what little I did see of it, that one was 4 wheel drive, a very rare option then. Actually in watching the video again, both trucks shown at the beginning of the video were 4 wheel drive. To me looking at old relics like that are just as interesting if not more so, than empty rooms.
So glad you enjoyed it. This was filmed quite some time ago and we are still learning. Whenever possible, we do attempt to look under the hood. Thanks for the tip.
Take the 9 hr. hike (one way) and you can film to your hearts delight . This is ONE place that needs no protection from vandals (location is right on the border of D.V.) since it is so remote and access is strictly by foot. Watching YT video's ain't LOOKING at old relics . Hiking to Panamint City IS . just sayin'
That big long trailer with the round tube is a trommel. They would dump the pay dirt in the hopper and the tube would rotate and seperate the larger rocks into fine pay dirt that would come out the end. If you watch on the show Gold Rush they have ones now that are 20 times that size. I have never seen one that small...
@@PinInTheAtlas No it was a portable rotary kiln used for sulfide ores like Cinnabar, Iron or Cement Lime. Don't know what it was doing at a silver and lead mine though.
Would be nice to go in and fix up these places to make them back to what they once were. I'm a retired builder and I've got nothing better to do. If you have the info on some of these places I'd like to know. I know you want to keep these places a secret and I can understand that but the vandals are still going to get them sooner or later. If you are interested in saving some of these let me know. Thanks
That sounds great. There are several volunteer groups who go out to these cabins and fix them up. I know there’s a jeep group a Death Valley one and Mojave. Check on Facebook. That could be a start. Hope that helps
Hi, beautiful place with the awesome trucks n everything. I just wished you would have closed the glove box after you opened it. Plz leave everything just as you left it, if not better than before. Respectful for the ones who lived there n owned everything. I know I would not want a living soul to mess with anything I worked hard for n loved during my life. I love your channel!!!
Thanks, Mary. Glad you are enjoying our channel. We did close the glove box - we always leave everything as we find it apart from doors. If we find them open, we close them to protect the interior from the weather and animals.
This is where it gets a bit difficult when we film these locations, like this one we did find a bit of information, but it can get so saturated with incorrect info it becomes incredibly diluted through the years. So we really don't want to give out duff info. Plus sometimes we come across these places by sheer accident and film it with out knowing what it is until well after its published.
Many of those buildings look newer than the fifties, in fact , based on my , less than faultless research, triple or grounded wall plugs weren't required till the middle or late sixties although there were some a bit earlier. That over the counter cooker looks later as well. I just saw your 1964 date which confirms an operating place possibly well into the sixties or seventies or more. Everything is just to well preserved, wouldn't it be nice if someone could fix that up as a tourist retreat? Cheers, Rik Spector
It was a great place to explore and try and figure out when the places were built, and how it stays so well preserved. Always a bonus when we find dates somewhere.
4:43 I CANT BELIEVE YOU DIDNT KNOCK BEFORE YOU WENT IN ~ THAT IS SO RUDE!!.... (YOU SHOULD ALWAYS KNOCK 1ST BEFORE YOU GO IN.....SORRY TO HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO TELL YOU THIS, BUT I'M SURE IT WILL SERVE YOU WELL ON YOUR CHANEL AND ADVENTURES) = LOL!!
We always check the places before entering or filming just to make sure we don't run across any squatters or animals. Plus our friend Dustin did the same in the particular location before we got to them. Think we mentioned we always do that in our Seneca Lake video.
@@PinInTheAtlas YEAH, I WAS JUST KIDDING AROUND AS I ALWAYS DO.....YOU SHOULD START KNOCKING THOUGH AS IT'D BRING SOME ELEMENT OF COMEDY TO THE VIDS....I'M LAUGHING JUST THINKING ABOUT IT

Hello from Manchester UK. Love to see old abandoned places
Welcome, Phillip. We have lots more explores to share. Hope you continue to enjoy our videos.
You nicely string them mining camps along one after another, and the next one looks very promising too!
Gotta love sun blasted cars and wood :-)
Thank you, Peter. Our channel is a work in progress - learning all the time.
That one large cabin with paneling and all was high end.
Lead paint and asbestos tiles.....Now that is living...I had to laugh when I heard your title...I thought at first you said PAIN in the Atlas...LOL
Ah yes led paint and asbestos tiles. Be safe out there. Liking the content.
Thanks Thomas. This was an older video. Learning all the time. The newer ones are better quality
4:20 The truck is a 1946 or 47. The cab is the same as 1940 and 41
In East Germany they used shredded paper that was pressed together or hay between the walls in the castle guards barracks. We saw it when they were remodeling the apartment.
That's interesting, Pat. We have seen sawdust stuffed in the walls too.
Cool
I enjoy your channel, Having been stationed in Nevada, there is a lot to be explored. Be safe.

Did you get your new air compressor?
@@groverchw Yes we did, Grover. It's a much better one, and still small enough to travel with. Space in Tonto is very limited.

We had a stove like that in our last apartment. It was clean an it worked though.

Quite possibly, Tim.

Really that is so cool things of that era are just so appealing to the eye! Thank you for the information!
First machine is a rotary kiln, second is a sluice for sorting.
That looks like a 1945 (war time) Ford pickup. Pretty rare. As noted, the PTO (power take off) was probably used to drive machinery. 4:24
It’s amazing the two Dodge Power Wagons were left on site. The Power Wagon seems to be the preferred truck, of the majority of miners.
We are always astounded but so delighted to see this much still left intact at these sites.
Is why Dodge was selected to manufacture for the war effort.
I was guessing from 48 cause of the wider wheel areas
I'm sure that those trucks hauled that equipment up there!
They probably did, Kirk. Back in the day the roads would have been better.
Ore cracking system to get the minerals out of the ore, then to an acid bath!

Nice place nice cool old trucks 🚚. Looks like some vandalism was done on the hasp with the lock 🔐 on one building. Could be why no one lives there
Looks like there were tow folding camp chairs there which must be much more recent vintage? Can't remember when those things started appearing
These places are often used by hunters and other explorers camp in the areas.

I will second that the trailer apparatus looks like some kind of cinnabar retort system.
On that TRL iv seen in cement plants a much larger version of that they spin and got really
It looks like there is a fair amount of fresh tire tracks...
We did see several vehicles around and people exploring. Hopefully they left everything intact and didn't decide to loot!
the last hut at the end would have been a generator hence the smell of oil.?
So what intrigues me about all the places you share with us, frequently miles from nowhere and in desert country to boot, where did they get water? Drilled or trucked in?

So glad you enjoyed it. This was filmed quite some time ago and we are still learning. Whenever possible, we do attempt to look under the hood. Thanks for the tip.
Take the 9 hr. hike (one way) and you can film to your hearts delight . This is ONE place that needs no protection from vandals (location is right on the border of D.V.) since it is so remote and access is strictly by foot. Watching YT video's ain't LOOKING at old relics . Hiking to Panamint City IS . just sayin'
Is that a life jacket opn the floor at 28:18? if so, an odd thing to find miles from any navigable water...
Wouldn’t have thought so. Strange!
i would love them dodge trucks!
They really are works of art Robert!
they really are!
That big long trailer with the round tube is a trommel. They would dump the pay dirt in the hopper and the tube would rotate and seperate the larger rocks into fine pay dirt that would come out the end. If you watch on the show Gold Rush they have ones now that are 20 times that size. I have never seen one that small...
Look closer, not a trommel.
Thanks for the info.
@@PinInTheAtlas No it was a portable rotary kiln used for sulfide ores like Cinnabar, Iron or Cement Lime. Don't know what it was doing at a silver and lead mine though.
That was The remains of a 46 Ford truck
Awesome place! What a shame some sticky fingered individuals have helped themselves to components off those trucks and wash plant
Tell us about it! That's the reason we don't give out locations Klaus. Glad you enjoyed our visit.
Those square tiles in the house you were walking on and crunching were asbestos tiles...
Maybe. These places also have lead paint, so you have to be extra careful when exploring.
That big piece of equipment looks like a portable asphalt plant.
Rock Crushing machine maybe?
Those hot water heaters are super expensive now, I wonder if they are any good?
They’ve been out there for some time
Would be nice to go in and fix up these places to make them back to what they once were. I'm a retired builder and I've got nothing better to do. If you have the info on some of these places I'd like to know. I know you want to keep these places a secret and I can understand that but the vandals are still going to get them sooner or later. If you are interested in saving some of these let me know. Thanks
That sounds great. There are several volunteer groups who go out to these cabins and fix them up. I know there’s a jeep group a Death Valley one and Mojave. Check on Facebook. That could be a start. Hope that helps

Hi, beautiful place with the awesome trucks n everything. I just wished you would have closed the glove box after you opened it. Plz leave everything just as you left it, if not better than before. Respectful for the ones who lived there n owned everything. I know I would not want a living soul to mess with anything I worked hard for n loved during my life. I love your channel!!!
Thanks, Mary. Glad you are enjoying our channel. We did close the glove box - we always leave everything as we find it apart from doors. If we find them open, we close them to protect the interior from the weather and animals.
It's called a Hopper.
It's a cold water heater 😉
😆
your light workers
?
Why does everyone call it a hot water heater? Hot water doesn't need to be heated. It's just a water heater.

Do you know any history about these places?
This is where it gets a bit difficult when we film these locations, like this one we did find a bit of information, but it can get so saturated with incorrect info it becomes incredibly diluted through the years. So we really don't want to give out duff info. Plus sometimes we come across these places by sheer accident and film it with out knowing what it is until well after its published.
Could I buy the place I only want a place to fix up not change a thing
That would be nice.
I don’t think they had a stove with microwave on top in 1952
Many of those buildings look newer than the fifties, in fact , based on my , less than faultless research, triple or grounded wall plugs
weren't required till the middle or late sixties although there were some a bit earlier.
That over the counter cooker looks later as well.
I just saw your 1964 date which confirms an operating place possibly well into the sixties or seventies or more.
Everything is just to well preserved, wouldn't it be nice if someone could fix that up as a tourist retreat?
Cheers,

It was a great place to explore and try and figure out when the places were built, and how it stays so well preserved. Always a bonus when we find dates somewhere.
Where is that place?
In Nevada Gary.
@@PinInTheAtlas I was thinking more of what County in Nevada…
Man oh man would I love to restore those trucks!!! I wish you would lift the hood and see if the motor is still there!!!

Beautiful old trucks!
Okay as picky as you guys, yet you still call it a HOT water heater. If you have hot water why would you need to heat it?
Lol. Figure of speech, Tony.
A big piece of machinery would be a trommel

4:43 I CANT BELIEVE YOU DIDNT KNOCK BEFORE YOU WENT IN ~ THAT IS SO RUDE!!.... (YOU SHOULD ALWAYS KNOCK 1ST BEFORE YOU GO IN.....SORRY TO HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO TELL YOU THIS, BUT I'M SURE IT WILL SERVE YOU WELL ON YOUR CHANEL AND ADVENTURES) = LOL!!
We always check the places before entering or filming just to make sure we don't run across any squatters or animals. Plus our friend Dustin did the same in the particular location before we got to them. Think we mentioned we always do that in our Seneca Lake video.
@@PinInTheAtlas YEAH, I WAS JUST KIDDING AROUND AS I ALWAYS DO.....YOU SHOULD START KNOCKING THOUGH AS IT'D BRING SOME ELEMENT OF COMEDY TO THE VIDS....I'M LAUGHING JUST THINKING ABOUT IT
@@nuclearskull We have been toying around with the idea of doing a spoof exploration video, so that might be perfect to put in it!
@@PinInTheAtlas YEAH DO A SPOOF EXPLORE IN A STORE!! LOL
