    I love her narration... It's cute and very natural at the same time! She's talking out her mind which gives one a feel of actually going on that tour! Nice camera work as well! :)

    Very interesting content. The camera work is excellent - no panning all over the place or zooming in and out, not even a hint of camera shake whilst walking. This lady knows how to handle a camera - fellow You-tubers take note!

    Nelson Ghost Town is the official name. It is not abandoned. As stated in the description, it used to be until the current owners bought it and now use it as a tourist attraction, and is used for photo/movie shoots.
    And for those interested in the restoration of classic cars, please check out my son’s channel, 57_Savoy_Fins to follow along his journey of restoring his 1957 Plymouth Savoy, very similar to the car used in the 1983 thriller movie, Christine, which was a 1958 Plymouth.

    Another sub here! I like how incredibly steady your camera is, and the slow walk around is nice, you went to all the places I wanted to see from the opening of the vid. FYI thehole in the el dorado canyon sign are bullet holes! Possibly 5mm from an old turret rifle.

    I love this place and try to visit each time I'm in the Las Vegas area. I would definitely recommend this to people, especially if you're into photography. I haven't taken the mine tour yet, but one of these visits I will. They are also constantly adding new things it seems. Over the past 2 years they've re-done and acquired new things, so it's always nice to go back year after year and see what's new.

    Great video tour. You are one of the few who can take nice clear video without the camera jumping / shaking all over the place, even while walking, making everything difficult to see. I see quite a mix of old / fairly new stuff lying and sitting around, but still interesting. You get the idea that, even though long abandoned, it has never been fully taken over by time and is cared for to a certain degree.

  • @cwf081166
    @cwf081166 9 лет назад +6

    Cyanide, mercury, arsenic and lead can be found around these old stamp mills, because these elements and compounds where used to separate and clean gold, silver and other precious metals during the mining and milling process.
    Some of them were leftovers after this process.

      This is my favorite video of yours. Please never pull it. There's one here in southern Oregon called "Gold Gulch" at I-5 milepost 35. It can only be seen if you're southbound. Private property. The late owner tried to make a little Knott's Berry Farm Ghost town out of it using pneumatic (compressed air-powered locomotives) on a short track. I went to the auction of the estate and scored a bunch of nice stuff like a 2 horse-drawn buggy, a cigar box with about 12 silver dollars, a top and bottom tool box full of US-made tools and a pallet of assorted "junk". There were lots of antique guns, cars and a Chinese BMW motorcycle clone. Check it out if you're ever this way. Contact me at daviddaveinternational@gmail.com

  • @originalredneckgirl
    @originalredneckgirl 10 лет назад +3

    by the 17 point I was going nuts.. those "machinery" outside that one building were old oil cans you would stop at a station and they would pump your oil out of the top of it for you to buy.. oil didnt come in a can or plastic bottle then.. at about 17 the old "moonshine jug" is actually an old Clorox bleach bottle.. shine was kept in pottery jugs .. The Coor's can.. 60s..........Those scales are more than likely meat scales I know that one was . I cant see those being used for mining, like one of the prev. posters said this guy is a hoarder, most of the stuff has been brought in , it wasnt used by a mine.. interesting though, Thanks for the tour

    I gotta go here one day. You have to be careful traveling mid nevada or at least use to. Use to be kinda Mexico like through the small town with small town cops who tried to extort money stopping innocent people/tourist through the area. This area I see is more south of Las Vegas which I've never been. I like the history here. 20:24 ya gotta love the amazon.com box LOL who knew they were so ancient?

  • @freddiemaxwell8959
    @freddiemaxwell8959 11 лет назад +13

    Stop vid @ 16:45 If you look straight ahead and center you will see 2 machines with the levers on the sides and mirrors on top, they are vending machines that you could turn the handle around the circle which had the letters of the alphabet and numbers 0 thru 9 and #$&!?-You could make a custom token sorta like dog tags.
    The machine was called the (METAL TYPER) and usually cost a quarter to make a token...
    I know they don't allow links here but the website that has a lot of info on these machines is www dot metal-typer dot com...
    I used to love and hate these machines as a kid because it was so easy to make a mistake with that alphabet dial and make a bad misspelled token or if you didn't get that pointer dead on it would stamp half of one letter and half of the next one (AB CD etc)
    I wonder if maybe the miners would wear one like a dog tag for ID in case they got blown up or killed and dismembered in a mining accident?
    But Mom...can't I have one more quarter to make another one...LOL!

    • @sniper152
      @sniper152 11 лет назад +1

      I remember those, you would find them in Grey Hound bus stations and similar places, back in the '60s I don't think it cost a quarter though

    • @freddiemaxwell8959
      @freddiemaxwell8959 11 лет назад +2

      sniper152 I think the machines that stamped the colored tokens may have cost more, like 50 cents maybe. I don't remember if they had a way to choose your color token or not...I imagine that the machines that generated less revenue didn't warrant the cost to change out the coin mechanism and they continued to operate in a time warp like from the 40s or 50's...

    • @sniper152
      @sniper152 11 лет назад +3

      FREDDIE MAXWELL
      The ones I remember were just plain aluminum, no color. I also remember the machines that would squish a penny and imprint words on them.

    • @freddiemaxwell8959
      @freddiemaxwell8959 11 лет назад +2

      sniper152 I remember those penny machines. You would put the penny in one slot and a dime in another slot to make it work. They had one of these machines at the Museum of Science and Industry/Chicago. I had ones with the U505 German U boat and the Coal Mine impression. These were the 2 big attractions at the museum. Cheap souvenirs to take home and show all your friends you went to the museum. Lincoln Park Zoo also had these inside the the main entrances to the Lion/Ape/Reptile/Fish/Bird houses etc. You can guess what the impression each penny had on it...Us kids would make our own smashed pennies by sticking a wad of bubblegum and placing it on the rail hoping the next train would come past soon.

Some of those old trucks look like they would start right up and drive away. Looks like a great place to visit. Thanks for filming it.

  • @donrico5122
    @donrico5122 9 лет назад +3

    Looks like these buses all had raised roofs for living in. Theyre not stock buses. My guess is this was a hippie bus commune long after the mining days & long before present use - the bones of the trucks were picked dry, but where did the commune go? Why were ALL the vehicles abandoned together? Something is wrong here.....

    Nope..if you moved out west to the territory's you weren't consider a traitor, you were considered a little nuts maybe for enduring the hardships or leaving your family maybe. But both sides needed gold and silver to finance the war, so you worked for a company who was independent, and no posse's were looking for any deserters, all the men were needed for working.Mark Twain was one of these people. He escaped his Missouri militia and got out of the horror of the senseless war and worked in the mines before becoming a writer.

    That place is really something. Never been to that part of Nevada. Had a home up in Virginia City back in the 70's and enjoyed seeing the different mines there. Excellent job dear lady!

    Can anyone take any of those old vintage vechiles or is the property owned by someone? I would like to get that 1948 farm truck and do it all over,it looks to be in not bad shape.

      You are the reason people have to put up fences and keep out signs. Yeah it's just there for random people to take stuff they want. They leave the gold and silver by the shed for treasure hunters like you to take cause you want to.

      YNOT100026~ These truck are beautiful... You are 100% correct, look but don't touch anything and leave everything for your grand children to hopefully see one day...

    Absolutely fascinating footage, I may have to make a road trip up there and check it out with my own eyes, I love to see old things as they have survived in there natural state also. It is refreshing to know that I am not the only female that loves things like this. Keep up the great work.

    Loving these videos! This was the sort of "ghost town" me and my brother wanted to see when we were in the US back in 2012. And there was supposed to be one during the trip, called "Calico Village" in California. Unfortunately we went there during Halloween and they had "dressed" the town up to be spooky and stuff. Really depressing. We came to watch, learn and appreciate a piece of history, not be jump scared by teenagers in costumes. :(

      The guy that owns that place wouldn't give those guys the time of day!
      If it wasn't for all the old odd stuff, hardly no one would stop for his mine tours. Or snacks or whatever.

  • @jimiray1

    That panel truck at 7:00-ish is a 1946 model Ford. They look cool when they're made into a hot rod with a killer paint job and nice rims.

    @patpow960 11 лет назад

    Wow! Again, I love your videos and narration. You do such a great job with the camera, I'm impressed. I would love to do what you do and I am amazed at all the places you have been!! (I wouldn't have the guts to go in some of the basements, etc., I have seen you venture into!) You sure get around! What a thrill for you and I so appreciate you posting your great adventures, I feel like I can live vicariously through you and not have to go thru all the spider webs :) GREAT JOB!!

    Btw, that truck is a 1948 Ford F-3 (Part of the F Series) 3/4 Ton.

    @davidmurphy5405 5 лет назад

    I watched some young fella in a mustang walking around the same place complaining of urban anxiety and jerky herky camera and still it didn't show anything you showed. It was like two different places...so I know theres a lot more. This is emotional as it's like everything I ever grew up around. And it was old then...some if it. I grew up with my grandfather and he had all the old hand tools and would not buy a power drill. We have rich relatives with big Victorians and attics and basements with stuff that revolves in and out of use ...and a lot of forgotten stuff. What a wonderful wonderful place.
