Randsburg Ghost Town, Mojave Desert California

Gold was discovered on the slopes of Rand Mountain in 1895. From this discovery, the town of Randsburg (originally known as Rand Camp) sprang up almost overnight. By 1899, the town had over 3,500 residents. Randsburg boasted a 100-stamp mill and conservative estimates are that $60,000,000 in gold was taken out of the mines in the area during the town's boom years. From 1895 until about 1933, the Yellow Aster mine produced almost $25,000,000 worth of gold. Today about 69 people still reside here.

One of the most authentic ghost towns I've seen. There are still open mines all over the place.

Nice channel but it used to be much better when the gentleman lived in Southern California and he used to narrate his videos. Those were fabulous videos.

Thanks for watching. My narration voice sucks so I gave that up awhile back.
