So it took archeologists to figure out how families lived during WWII? It would be easier to go ask them. Some are still alive today.
Ain’t nobody gots time for that.
Click bait title!……you never showed us what you found !
There is a link in the description...
@jonathanozment4523 NO, big secret! Tell no one, play a geocache game instead.
they found trash
@@adamdelarozza1985 they found lots of things that told them many interesting things pertaining to how people lived and worked on the base... There's a link to a more detailed article in the description, if you are actually interested and not just here to complain... 🤔
@@jonathanozment4523 okay, just wished they showed more artifacts
I learned nothing from the trash heap. Two thumbs down.
There's a link in the description of what was found...
@@jonathanozment4523 Weak--the title says "here's what we found". I'd say that's just click bait.
Great video, but you didn't really show us what you found.
The link to the story, which includes multiple detailed lists of what we found, is in the description.
@@Eastidnewsyou just did a video on what you found, supposedly! SMH! UNBELIEVABLE!
@@Brad_Huff and the lists of what they found are in the description... Unless you have been so spoiled by videos as to be made illiterate, that should cover it... 🤔
Radiation?
@@MuhammadAliInTheRing You get that every day you go outside. Deal with it.
Archeologists digging threw well trash. It's not 2000 year old Roman ruins. Mr. Man Bun must be one who is digging.
Click bait, waste of time. Didn't need a history lesson, Please change the title of vid so it's not miss leading.
sooooooooo what did you find??????????????????????
There's a link in the description...
@@jonathanozment4523 thanks
Yeah, so....
What did you find there??
There's a link in the description...
@jonathanozment4523 It's a surprise. They found garbage. Who would have guessed? Must be a dump.
Totally useless info. Nota word about what was found
There is a link in the description...
No like button from me, when still unsure exactly what was found!Waste of an alert,time,just to hear a bit of a history lesson!
Wow ! You found a bunch of rusty cans!
Spent nearly 3 years out on that desert as a student and later instructor the Enterprise (A1W) prototype. There were some 30 to 40 operational test reactors out there when I was there. It was one of the most memorable periods of my life.
Can you imagine what trash is in our oceans ??
That junk should be cleaned up.
And will be once the archeologists are done...
@jonathanozment4523 There goes a piece of American history, if it's just trashed.
@@censured-again true, but every time anything is used, moved, or changed, the previous status quo is forever changed... The only constant in life is change... 🤔
That was the most nonsensical report ever. Report about a trash heap was just a trash heap of random facts.
Those cans are over 70+ years old. Modern soup cans turn to dust in less than 4.
Incredible isn't it? Tins in a desert area will remain nearly forever.
Can't say that I agree with some of the other posts here. Like is said in the video, this is a view into the past, a snapshot of what life was like, in one sense.
But what about the trash?
Look those unexplored ordence from WW2 are soo unstable that Province saved you , that a shell or mortars shell or a training Grenade didn't go hot Vietnam veteran here.
There is no "ordence" (HA!....your silly word, not mine) in the trash heap. "Province" (wrong word again, HA!) didn't save anyone unless they ate remnants of food from the tins. All ordinance (real word) was removed by the military and NONE was ever placed in a dump site. You were in the military? Hmmm. If so, you should know about military procedures of recovery and disposal. You certainly have no idea.
What a national treasure in Idaho.
Very informative! Thank you! Nothing like lobbing the equivalent weight of a 1970 Volkswagen "Beetle" 21 miles! They are also referred to as "Naval Rifles." However, the rating for Enlisted US Navy gunners is typically a Gunner's Mate or ....GMG = Gunner's Mate, Guns. There are/were other GM classifications such as GMM, or Gunner's Mate (Missles).....An officer MOS would be a "Gunnery Officer" who would be responsible for crew training, equipment/ammo storage, and maintenance/operation of the "guns" on a ship. In a twin 5"-38 the crew might be: Pointer. Trainer. Loaders. Projectilemen. Hot Shell Casemen. Gun & Mount Captains. The old Squid from NAVWEAPCEN, China Lake.
My father, a resident of Chicago, enlisted in the Navy at the ripe old age of 17 years, 2 months, in February 1944. Chicago had the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, but the Navy decided my father had to go to Farragut, Idaho, for boot camp. Dad had been a lifeguard at Chicago's 12th Street beach, on Lake Michigan. At night, after his own daily boot camp training was done, he gave swimming lessons to those men who couldn't swim at the indoor base swimming pool. He said it was so cold there in Idaho, & going back to the barracks nightly with a wet head, he ended up coming down with pneumonia & had to be hospitalized after he collapsed while doing PT. Fortunately for him, penicillin had recently been perfected, & it worked as intended. He was so mad because supply had run out of gloves when they were initially issued their uniforms & equipment, & the cold really bothered him, & he attributed that as part of the reason he got sick. He managed to go from 1944 until 2012 before he had to be hospitalized again. He passed in October of 2016, at the age of 89.
Most approaches to settlements in Idaho looked like this landfill...
It took Ladybird Johnson's Highway Beautification Program to eliminate most, but not all, of these sites...
We still have a proving ground here in Indiana, the Jefferson proving Ground still is in low use but active.
looking for potatoes.
The title is completely misleading! Wtf!
Any Spam cans in that pile of rubbish?
Didn't see any blue/yellow cans.
Bubbling over in excitement over nerf zeero and rummaging through peoole's garbagio. Reminds me of:
I want those 4 minutes back; my attorney will be in touch.
Love the ancient .
The great stuff here is repurposing "Military Grade" structures, and they don't cheap out on the cost. Great Buy!
Very interesting. Thank you.
Very Good!
The Navy stationed my late father at Arco circa 1957. The five members of the McKane family lived in Idaho Falls during my dad's tour at Arco. That was the first time I ever lived in the mountain west of the United States. On a different subject, i became greatly impressed with East Idaho News during the past few years due to news related to the Daybell and Vallow case. (My wife and I were members of the Spring Creek 6th Ward in Springville, Utah from August 2012 to March 2019. We knew the Daybell family.) Nate Eaton has done the best news reporting I've watched in years. My wife's and my thanks to Nate and his family and to East Idaho News! Mahalo! Andrew "Andy" McKane IV, 23 August 2024, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.
I was a beer can collector for 20+ years these are hard to find now days.
4 minutes of my life wasted
I liked the video, but wished you would of more detailed photos of things of interest other than lots of rusty old tin cans! Maybe a part 2 ? Thanks !
There's a link in the description...
@@jonathanozment4523 screw the link! Why not just include the finds in the video as falsely stated in the title?
As to the metal cans and glass bottles, they can be recycled into new material, right?!
Did the proving ground become Central Facilities? Are those houses in the aerial shot still there?
For the archeologist.... they ate a lot of canned goods.
A surprising amount of cans! This is probably only one of many dumpsites, used over many years and, by the size of the cans, I would say it was for the chow hall. It does make me wonder about how much fresh meat and vegetables those folks got. At the time of WW2, many homes in the towns had gardens, the government encouraged it, called them "Victory Gardens", was there evidence of them here? Victory Gardens were rare on military bases, as any piece of land could suddenly be needed for something military in nature, but this place was supplied mostly by rail and was miles away from the truck gardens of local Farmers. There were vegetable trucks visiting some bases out in the boonies, but this place would be a high security compound too.
Military bases tend to be structured and have community laws above those of civilian towns, they are stable places and there is a sense of purpose to them, even in the on base housing for dependents. It's not a bad way to live, not much crime or drugs or sin, sort of thing, Wives formed their own subculture of support for each other and their Husbands, so a community garden might happen, usually a bowling ally too, for some reason. Any evidence of anything like that here? (Did I mention the totally required EM and Officer's clubs?)
It's surprising to me that they weren't recycled... Unless they are mostly from 45-49... Wasn't there scrap metal drives and the like to gather metal for the war effort? Or was that only in England...?
@@jonathanozment4523 That's a really good point! But, recycling wasn't a priority of the Military, except for large objects like tanks and ships and airplanes. Tin cans, glass bottles, old parts and worn out things smaller than a two and a half ton truck wouldn't be worth the trouble to recycle. Scrap drives were also a good way to make the population part of the fight and not complain about shortages and the suspension of most civil rights.
This is a desert. Try growing a "Victory Garden" out there yourself. Good luck!
Is it possible to contact to contact someone with questions that I have about this article
Worked there in1996 doing an UXO clean up!
Why was the Navy refurbishing guns in Idaho? Seems pretty far from any port.
There could be Baseball Cards buried in that Dump
What a f*cking waste of time. BTW - nice haircut dude - LOL
So some wokesters found some rusty cans and decided that manbun and crew should talk about it. Completely wasted time.
It's 80 years ago, just ask the survivors what they remember. If I want to know what the French did during the German occupation I'll ask my mother.
You showed nothing!🤬
Very misleading title. I probably won't watch another video from you people.
Clean it up
They are waiting for the archeologists to get done...
Stop the Stupid LIE of net Zero! Just Stop!
Wouldn't give you a damn dime
Yet again; America showing how little it cares for the environment.80 years, and still not cleaned up the mess- that's really shameful, America!😠👎
They will likely clean it up once the archeologists are done...
@@jonathanozment4523 You really believe that? And what are they hoping to find in piles of old scrap? Hardly of archaeological importance! They could probably get more information from old site records and photos!
@@iainhughes8110 did you even watch the video...? They explained that, from trash piles, you can obtain a "snapshot" into the microcosm of daily life, what they ate, what they used, then discarded... Things that wouldn't likely be recorded in official records... As this is basically the basis for the entire science of archaeology, yes, I believe it... "Trust the science" ya know? (Unless it's biology, trusting that is now considered to be "hate speech" or "bigoted") 🤔
INEL (I'm always going to call it that!😂😂😂) is still far away from any populations!
The one thing about it is INEL is also the farthest inland Navy Base anywhere.
Nothing but trash! Clean it up lot of scrap metal there!
And I think it should be left alone
Click bait
Nothing about what was learned from rusty tin cans. yes click bait disgusting 👎
Very cool! I’d love to go through their trash, what historical treasures to be found. One day I’d love to visit your State. I was hoping to back in the mid 80’s while in College. I college rodeoed, and Pocatello was were the finals were. Maybe they still are I don’t know?
I agree. I spent weeks digging on the site of Stalag Luft 3 and dumps pertaining to the waste from the POW camp. An incredible experience, never to be forgotten!
What a waste of time going on someone's trash pick something else
Why do these women speak at 100 mph speed?
Click bait NFG
They found nothing!
I wonder what happened to the rats once the cans were cleaned-out?
Democrats?
They moved to the big cities.
@@Urbicide
That's where the votes are to eliminate the Electoral College.
So if you call it historic then you don't have to clean it up and you can virtue signal about net zero
Nice hair do red lol FKH
Soooooo.......
👍👍👍
tetanus
......thanks to the 2 cuties.
Another trashy video from EIN….I’m lovin all of them. Keep em coming.
BS video...pass it by
That’s where Jon Osterman worked (aka Dr. Manhattan)
Crap
Ms. Hart I would like to encourage you to slow down a bit when you speak, and also learn to enunciate your words more clearly. Also learn proper grammar in both your spoken and written reports.
You don't speak idAho ?
😮 😳 🤪 😜 🤪 😂
👎
Good video.
You did show us what you found thank you and you even explained it.
How much ordnance is left out there I'm betting it's not safe is the government going to clean it up ? They should it's an environmental hazard
Hate. To say this but we are the government, we the people will pay for it
I agree. The contaminated trash sight should be cleaned up by haz mat crews.
For our children and grandchildrens safety!
@@Dd-sunshine68 The government should give everyone A billion dollars. It should give all little girls a pony and all the little boys a four wheeler. It should make being unhappy illegal. It should make everything perfect.
Here's a clue: The government isn't a God. It's a necessary evil. The less power it has, the better. Want the ordinance cleaned up? Organize, mobilize and do it.
I'll throw some money at the project.
@@bonniemarsing701 it's tin cans. Big whoop. It would be rusted away already if it rained a bit more.
@@bonniemarsing701it’s literally household garbage.
Awful🤡🤡🤡
She's a good lookin girl.
Drink up…
@@Mart-u2u Cheers!
So….what did you find?
