Giant Abandoned Mystery Mine and Millsite in the Middle of Nowhere, Nevada 

You never need to apologize if a video is longer, the longer the video the more of your comments, jokes and stories to entertain us. Love your videos so fun to watch and listen I am very glad you do not have crappy music playing while you are talking. You make the best videos. Be Safe and please keep the videos coming!

Ya, that cabinet was for a fire hose.

The "key rack" in the shower area is known as a "brass board". The miner would hang his issued tag or "brass" to signify he was in the mine, and remove it after the shift. An easy way to tell if anyone was left in the mine. Pretty much standard practice in all underground mines.

Thank you for taking us along for this journey! You are a great guide, and host! Looking forward to your next adventure! Stay safe and awesome, young lady!🧧🤙🌅

KEEP ON KEEPING ON. YOUR TRAVELS AND MONOLOGUES ARE THE BEST.

Yea Wednesday firstie. That was a Blue Print machine. Copies original Drawings. Those are core samples which they examine or crush to see the amount of ore they are looking for. Cabinets for fire hose? Those 'Funnel halves' may have been a clarifier where the ore is floated and runs into the weirs around the outside. Or Not! Those big foundations were likely for Bar and Ball Mills which crush the ore very fine. No Balls though! The contents of those little envelopes likely represents an crushed core sample after grading. Thanks Sarah.

@ 3:01 that is a blue print copier. the ammonia develops the white lines on the blue paper. you should keep a flash light tucked into an..ummm aaaaa.. crevice or someplace when ever you are exploring.. flash light and knife (folder) and some sort of fire maker (zippo will do) besides your photo stuff.. could be just the ticket. J

That was a Fire Hose Cabinet. I am a retired fire alarm inspector. Lol Someone took the brass fittings out for scrap.

Thanks a lot to you Sarah Jane! Watching your video allows me to escape this life of Labor for a brief moment. Saludos desde Oakland Waterfront!

I admire your thoroughness so much. Keep up the great videos.

Cold air coming out of a mineshaft is a good thing especially if you plan on exploring it

I have also been to this mine several times over the last 20 years. It is sad to see how the site has deteriorated over time. This mine has had many names over the years, Tempiute Mine, Lincoln Mine and Emerson Mine. The mine is massive in its diggings, hence the very cold air! The mine did stop production in 1983 but maintained a limited staff on site thru either 1985 or 1987 (sources vary on this date). I am not sure if Union Carbide still owns the mineral rights? There was a report in 2008 that a company by the name of Spirit Exploration Inc planned to purchase the mine and begin operations again. Obviously, that never happened! When the site finally closed down for good the company paid a security guard who lived in a nearby homestead to watch the property and to keep looters out. I am not certain how long this lasted but by the late 1990s the only part of the site being cared for and maintained was the power station. It was hoped that mining would someday resume once Tungsten prices rebounded. What is interesting is that they actually did and yet the mine never reopened even though it was confirmed that hundreds of millions in tungsten still lies buried under that mountain?! My first visit to the mine was around 1998 or 1999, though clearly abandoned it was in a lot better shape then it is now. Too bad some people just can't stop and look without destroying stuff...

Wouldn’t it be cool to go back in time and visit those places when they were being built and working. It would also be cool to be able to talk to people who worked there.

Hello wonderhussy. Your friend Ted here. I definitely enjoyed the videos of you exploring civilization in the middle of nowhere. Hahaha I do enjoy it though. It's amazing what they do and what they build and what they looking for. You have lots of good questions can you do a good job trying to explain some type of answer. I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the 1990s and 1980s being a long time ago. I guess that's what happens when you get old. You take care of yourself my friend. Until I see you and your next video.

I have seen it before It was a Tungsten mine.

Damn!!! You've never seen a fire hose cabinet??? That's hat those shallow cabinets are!!! And yes those are core samples and they are being packaged to send to an assayer to analyze the mineral content!!!

Thank you Sarah! Fantastic! You Rock,Safe Travels, Stay well

Thanks for taking us with you. Always fun💋

You have the most interesting videos! You let us see places we may not ever get to go to. Thank you!

I also want to say that thank you Sarah I'm now someone who inspects everything I find. I use to think if I seen something that it was probably trash n now I make sure cause u never know what it's going to be. Side note I have learned a ton of info

Another great vid! Thanks

Cool place! You're a brave one WH!

Love your videos Wonderhussy.

They were definitely core samples. I am an engineering geologist. The machine that used ammonia looks like a blue line printer for plans and specifications, etc.

Maybe the clarifier funnels were cut in half to transport out for scrap metal value and then it didn't get done, but you notice there's not much other loose steel artifacts around.

that is a Blue print machine for making blueprints of drawings

There is very good drone footage of this mine which was closed in the late 1980"s. It was a Tungsten mine,, tungsten was used for the filaments of light bulbs and the switch over to the new ones LED'S etc.was probably a factor in it's closing. The power plant up on the hill is still in use by a small town nearby. If you put in the town name(you know it, followed by drone footage , you can see aerial pictures of the place. I believe the core samplings were crushed in that roller machine and then sample packets were assayed for Tungsten content. I shall honor your secrecy and hope I was of some help to you. Cheers, Rik Spector

Great explore Sara 😊

They transformed the UFOs to Ford pickup trucks 😁

the wood looking podium that was upstairs it's where they kept the prince of whatever copies they made from the machine in the basement and that's where they would hang that's why it was stair step down because you can have a bar go across and hang a bunch of maps on that

SEEN THIS MINE EXPLORED BEFORE. PRETTY AWESOME.

Shallow cabinet = Fire hose.

It appears you can't walk around Nevada without hitting an abandoned mine. They say there are around 200,000 abandoned mining operations in Nevada. One-quarter -- 50,000 minimum -- are hazardous meaning they're unstable/falling apart and/or have toxic material around/in them.

That chair tied up in that building was really strange.

Wonderhussey you are the ultimate trip!!! 😳😝 🎉

Fascinating find east of Rachel,NV in the Tempiute montain range. This is the "new" Tempiute Mine BTW. Just love her commentary on what she finds while poking around.

That's a private mine. It's owned by a company in Las Vegas, if I'm not mistaken. There's a number of patented claims on that property. The property includes the buildings. Some of those mine exploring guys on RU-vid explored it and uploaded it.

great explore Sarah you never let us down,I dont understand why those companies build all that cool stuff out there only to abandon it,atleast donate it to a charity or something.keep up the great explorations darlin and please stay safe and blessed!

No comment on the missing dynamite I saw in a different video. Good frame work I like your long vids ,,, loven it.

Hello Sara those cabinets that are in the wall with the pipe in it is a fire hose cabinet

Another great video be safe and 5 stars !

Fire hoses in those cabinets. Thanks for the video.

Like your videos Wonder hussy woman

Great video. Fire hose cabinets. Stay Safe.

Love watching your adventures... Hopefully someday I can do the same! If not At least I was able to live vicariously through your adventures. Thank you :)

That looks like a cool spot to check out

Bombero = pump man. Miners usuaally shower at end of shift to go home clean. I've been to closed mines and it's been like they left yesterday. Crew went home on Friday, got notice on Saturday not to come back. 75 years ago. That's how it goes sometime, money runs out, people go home. Giant funnels are pieces of a thickener. Dirty water in middle, clear water off the edge, solids down the middle. Smart girl. Stay Out! STAY Allive!

Very good video, cheers !

Just outside of Rachel the Tempiute complex. Cool place to check out. Bring a handheld blacklight at night you'll see some amazing fluorescent minerals

I went here, filmed my first video there! It’s awesome, I want to go back!

1998. Lovin living in Vegas💜

Love the long vlogs n looks creepy out there but cool lol

Very interesting 👍

Old respirator!! I guess Robb from RnK ran into some trouble!!😳😳 Those tunnel entrances would make an excellent shooting location for a command center scene. Use that warehouse as an interior shooting space! May '98, 9th into 10th grade in the Mojave desert!!

Each man carried a medallion with a number on it that way when they're in the mind they know who's in and who's out

You really should not explore places like this alone. Damn that was dangerous! I'm a big fan. Please explore safely

Yes on the ore samples

That was cool

it's a Tungsten mine it's for it's for Area 51 it's a Tungsten mine it's really cool I've been there several times after seeing Christian Adventures of Christian it's really cool a lot of meats that goes on there and it's spooky because if you go there at night the building creeks

Nice vid wh

You are near Rachel Nevada amd that is an abandoned Tungsten Mine. @Adventures with Christian knows about it.

Looks like a gypsum mine those cabinets in the wall with the glass doors were for firehoses. That place looks like a spot that o seen someone else go to one time. They found a campsite that still had a tent and somebodies nelongings there but no trace of the person. They thought that maybe they went into the mine and fell into a mineshaft and disappeared. Who knows?

That lizard is called fence swift!

Cabnets on wall where for fire hoses.

Yay ur exploring cool beans luv u lady

I'm surprised you didn't find a crazy old hermit living in that toxic tunnel.

Have you ever been to the domes in casa grande AZ ?

Hello Sarah, I really enjoyed this video. It reminds me of one you did a few years ago with all the ping pong balls everywhere. Personally, I like videos on the longer side. Best Regards from Ody Slim

Fire hose and with fittings for fighting fires I am thinking

Yep, I remember what I was doing in May of 1998,, Working at 711 in Portland Oregon, Was there for a total of 15 years. I know you don't believe in God, and will never push the subject on you . Justa fan of Wonder Hussey But I still love watching your videos and look forward to them every week! .Love the stories you make up about what could have possibly gone on in the sites that you explore! That being said. Stay safe in all you do Most of all have fun .

May of 1998 I was working in a little camera shop for $7.50 an hour.....I was broke as poop.

Cool you are great👍

small cabinet in hall held fire hose

The concrete tunnels probably once had conveyor systems that transported ore to the mill.

21:46 The catbird seat.

At 4:40, most likely for storage of blue prints.

Nevada /mining. As you know they are everywhere in this state . Worked at a gold mine outside Eureka Nevada. I processed ore samples.

Awesome

Amazing video you are totaly addictive,,,i love watching all the places I can only dream of going to thanks wunderhussy,,,Theresa Cornwall

the shallow cubbies are for fire hoses.

Which video did you find Pin on the Atlas business card , very windy that day .

Some mines had bunkhouses for the workers. Especially the more remote ones.

Cool!

My husband and I both worked at mines in Nevada. Gold mines that are long out of business. He's more familiar with all the different kinds of mines in the state. But like I said you know there are mines all over.

The boxer look like a podium in the second building is a hanging maps in

Jeff Hurd just got stung by a bark scorpion in his last video, always scares me when you go exploring in flip-flops.

The board that you thought was for keys was probably for brass chips. It is a Mine Safety Rule that every miner is assigned a chip with their number on it. They put their chip on the board when to go into the mine and remove it when they come out. Before a explosive blast can be set off all the miner's chips have to be removed from the board for safety reasons. If there is a accident in the mine they know who is still in the mine and who to look for.

4:41 wtf??? I watch several explore channels and one of them has been here but I can't remember who! lol I remember all those boxes of samples and this wooden thing. now I go crazy trying to remember :P

Id buy that abandoned miners property and put the garage to use and put a offgrid tinyhouse

I know right where that is!

The machine in the beginning with an Ammonia input was an Ammonia Hydroxide printer for making blueprints used in industry..even today still used in Architecture Offices but mostly digital printing now. I have made hundreds of thousands of prints from them 1 sheet at a time🤣

Yes those are core samples to let the miners know which way to go to find the good stuff.

those shallow cabinet spaces are for fire hoses! looks like a uranium mine!!

That could be the Fortress of Solitude for Wonderhussy. with a special room for offroad flip flops. :-)

The shallow white boxes are for fire hoses

Need to go soak in a hot spring and get the bug dust out from between those hard to reach places.

Someone mentioned Rachel. Looking at satellite view of Rachel NV see huge green circles the size of 2 city blocks. What are they? Anyone know?

Yep core samples.

I think the 'key rack' was really a 'brass in' and 'brass out' board. It kept track of who was or was not accounted for.

Love your uninformative facts about these places.brilliant!
