Thank you for again sharing your travels. I believe the metal pieces you question about , at 11:23, in your video are the remains of a disassembled transformer iron core. There appears to be the carcasses of electric power transformers to the right of the larger tank. If I were to hazard a calculated assumption, I would say the copper mice have invested the townsite sometime prior to your visit. Don’t worry they will not usually linger after the food source is exhausted😉.
Hello great town and lots to see the building with basement looks safer then most mines at least no rocks . Like the talks along the way Need more Ghost town exploring love it ⛏️
Hi Steve and Andrea - interesting! Unusual to see what looked like a lath and plaster interior wall, with walpaper, in a wooden cabin. The rusty thin iron sheets could be laminations from an electrical transformer which someone dismantled, possibly to recover the copper windings for the scrap value.
What, a lonely, abandoned place, dilapidating in the elements. It's so eerie and silent. It's hard to.picture it as a once, vibrant town. I noticed the big, piece of heavy equipment. I wonder if that, also, is discarded, or maybe, it's a good sign. Although stabilizing the buildings' remains would be quite the undertaking. This was very interesting, Steven and Andrea. Thank you for your research, Andrea... much appreciated 🏚🏚🏚👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Like a star, shooting across the heavens. Comet, a place where memories live and where questions are still asked. The assay office. Them concrete legs on that table tells me that, room was for weighing the assay beads. Which were usually no bigger than that period up there or right here. Them legs often were separate from the building to not pick up vibrations. A truck rolling outside would cause the delicate scales to quiver, the breeze would make them dance. Often they had their own foundation, completely separate from the building around them. That's a true story. No trips to the loo.😢😊
If my comment means anything I must say another first class ticket video and I'll always fly with you. Thanks for sharing this with us that watch your channel.
Steven and Andrea - thanks for sharing another explore we've never heard about. Whether government or parties can preserve these lovely, old building YOU 2 ARE PRESERVING HISTORY. Both of us appreciate your diligent efforts. Bon Voyage!
Nice find. It seems from the size of the boarding house might have somewhere 10 to 20 people maybe. The second building I believe could have been either supervisor , manager or mine owner home. The metal laying on the ground could have some kind of metal brace's. The damage done to the buildings could have been caused by heavy snow and snow drifts.
You fools ,,, that s an optical illusion those buildings leaning 😊. Very interesting find again. I willing people would preserve more old history ghost towns instead of destroying them 😊 what a surprise find when you find well preserved artifacts as if they were just abandoned yesterday 😊
“Gly”: At the very end I was like… show me the shaft, show me the shaft! Lol Did the mine have adits or was it just a vertical or inclined shaft? The underground workings there must be immense but probably flooded.
@@PinInTheAtlas “Gly”: That’s ok, the ground water table is usually pretty high in regions like that, I’m certain most of it is underwater. That’s a neat place, take care guys!
No "Trip to the Loo" in this one! A true Montana family bathroom history: My mother grew up in Western Montana in a town called Simmes (pronounced "Sims"). She was the third of nine children and had to empty everybody's slop jar. They did not have indoor plumbing until the 1950s. At one time during the Great Depression, they lived in the town gas station, but lost it because because my maternal grandfather was negligent at digging a new cesspit for the outhouse and he had four sons that could have helped him!
That's one cool looking place. If I had to imagine a Montana ghost town, Comet is pretty much it. I noticed some heavy equipment towards the road. Is it just road repairs or is something else going on there?
So you can see what the elements can do over time to these old buildings and it's a shame to see them disappearing, I guess it's inevitable that they will be gone forever in the future but good to know they will be seen on videos like yours, well done and thanks Cheers
I've been to some "towns" where the only thing left is the can dump and a bunch of broken bottles where the saloon was. In my area, wood and even brick were not very plentiful or easy to get. Most of it was shipped in. When a mining town died, it would often be torn apart with literally anything useful being reused in another mine, ranch, or town.
@@brandonostermiller3771 I have seen other YT videos who got into it. It looks amazing. We were disappointed that all the signs were up. There’s a few residents living in the town too.
🫣 I prefer to call them instant job security! Actually they are braces my knees took a beating the night before.. I mean um, we’re hurting from all the other hiking we did. And yes this town still had a few inhabitants hence why we couldn’t get into the massive mill and bunk house!

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the info
Too many ghost towns are disappearing and this is sad. These old towns speak volumes of history. Not just of the town itself, but individual lives.
Totally agree Diane. We’re trying to document before that slice of history is gone forever.
A sad, forlorn place, just waiting for the next snow to flatten more of the buildings. More history to be lost. Thanks for documenting it.
True Lesley. Glad you enjoyed it
Hello great town and lots to see the building with basement looks safer then most mines at least no rocks . Like the talks along the way Need more Ghost town exploring love it ⛏️
Thanks Case. They are getting more difficult to find and film. Lots are now private or have been vandalized severely.
NICE EXPLORE,THANK YOU
Great video guys enjoyed it very much

Very interesting that could be a possibility, thanks Brian!
Another curious find .Thanks for the video.
Thank you for a good tour. Old places are going away fast.
They certainly are Ken.

🏚🏚🏚👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You’re welcome Rhonda. It would be great if the buildings were saved or at least stabilized. At least we got to see it before it’s totally gone.
Ashame that town was left to cave in. It's so cool. Loved the video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it Chris.

Ahhh thank you David. So many of these places are being lost to time and history is so important.

The metal laying on the ground could have some kind of metal brace's. The damage done to the buildings could have been caused by heavy snow and snow drifts.
Could be Wayne. They do get heavy snow and a couple of people still live there!
@@PinInTheAtlas I originally grew up in Western New York. So some idea of heavy snow.
Great video! Spring and summer are just around the corner! Looking forward to warmer days. Thanks for the tour!
Thanks Kerry. We’re looking forward to the warmer weather too.
Another awesome video with my pin and coffee ☕ awesome place
Enjoy your coffee Raymond. Glad you enjoyed the explore.
@@PinInTheAtlas always enjoy your videos I get to see a beautiful lady
@RaymondCoggins-xd2re ahh. So kind.
You fools ,,, that s an optical illusion those buildings leaning 😊. Very interesting find again. I willing people would preserve more old history ghost towns instead of destroying them 😊 what a surprise find when you find well preserved artifacts as if they were just abandoned yesterday 😊
🤣 so true Tina. There’s a few people still living in this ghost town!
@@PinInTheAtlas that’s good. A ghost town should always look alive. That’s part of preserving history 😊
Montana has such severe winters that the deterioration is normal. Gramma Candy
Too cold in winter for us. But such a beautiful state.
“Gly”: At the very end I was like… show me the shaft, show me the shaft! Lol Did the mine have adits or was it just a vertical or inclined shaft? The underground workings there must be immense but probably flooded.
We looked around but couldn’t find any. Only the vertical shaft! Sorry Gly.

“Gly”: That’s ok, the ground water table is usually pretty high in regions like that, I’m certain most of it is underwater. That’s a neat place, take care guys!
Thanks Gly. You too
Great Video. Thank you for sharing
You’re welcome Bill.
Interesting explore! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Norm. We will.
No "Trip to the Loo" in this one!
A true Montana family bathroom history:

Not this time Craig. We didn’t see one.
Interesting story thanks for sharing. Wouldn’t want to be the one who cleans the poop jars!
Just wondering: are you guys still enjoying 'life-on-the-road'?
Yes we are Peter but it gets frustrating trying to find places to explore
I only wish I could turn my rescue RUclips channel into something I could get a Patrion
Why can’t you?
Thank you for such fast response.
You’re welcome Sydney. We don’t always have service so we make the most of it when we do
That's one cool looking place. If I had to imagine a Montana ghost town, Comet is pretty much it. I noticed some heavy equipment towards the road. Is it just road repairs or is something else going on there?
Not sure. There’s a few houses that are occupied. Not sure if there’s still an active mine further up.
So you can see what the elements can do over time to these old buildings and it's a shame to see them disappearing, I guess it's inevitable that they will be gone forever in the future but good to know they will be seen on videos like yours, well done and thanks Cheers
So true. We enjoy documenting them before they are gone forever.
I've been to some "towns" where the only thing left is the can dump and a bunch of broken bottles where the saloon was. In my area, wood and even brick were not very plentiful or easy to get. Most of it was shipped in. When a mining town died, it would often be torn apart with literally anything useful being reused in another mine, ranch, or town.
I heard that was quite common in those days. Makes sense.
This is my 2nd viewing of this good video. Gramma candy
Glad you’re enjoying it ❤️
Were you not able to go up in the big metal building?
Couldn’t get to the mill. It’s all fenced off with no trespassing signs
@PinInTheAtlas about 5 years ago we were able to explore it. It was cool inside. I have pictures of it on my Facebook.
@@brandonostermiller3771 I have seen other YT videos who got into it. It looks amazing. We were disappointed that all the signs were up. There’s a few residents living in the town too.
Did you guys to Elkhorn? About 50 miles from there.
@@brandonostermiller3771 no we didn’t get there. Coolidge is coming out on 20 th February though.
You ever thought of using a metal detector
Would be cool to see what they find.
Not really. Although very interesting to see what s there!
Can’t Hear Your Comments For Some Roaring type of Music in background
That’s strange. We’ve checked the audio and it seems fine!
Are those knee pads? Them knee pads are great for exhibition.......ism 😂 awesome town, population 3? 😮
🫣 I prefer to call them instant job security! Actually they are braces my knees took a beating the night before.. I mean um, we’re hurting from all the other hiking we did. And yes this town still had a few inhabitants hence why we couldn’t get into the massive mill and bunk house!
