    I enjoyed the whole video but really liked the stone cabin at 50:21. Whoever built it was very creative.

      I agree completely it's crazy how square and we'll built these buildings are when I come across them . It's also interesting how small they were and simple compared to modern homes

    Couldn't really hear you over the wind and then your "mini mic". To bad that you aren't a "rockhound". Those were some nice specimens you picked up; Chrisacoyla, the dark blue, maybe Lapis or Azurite, and the great cubed quartz crystals in situ. Thanks for the "walk about".

      i I'm kind of rock hound whish I was a gold miner I've always enjoyed gold mining because of the history behind it and what man went through to get it and the science that goes into it . And than I love old ghost towns and gold mining and ghost towns go hand and hand plus you find a mine you probably just hit the jack pot for very cool rocks

      @@wildwestexplorations8097 I am with you %100 percent on that. though I live in MD I was raised in the Mojave
      and have always had a thing for the mines and with respect for the miners that worked their ass off for
      practically nothing.

      @@wildwestexplorations8097 oh ok. Frank and Sharron just posted a new video and he ended up at some bat bars that looked pretty close but from the inside. Open stope and all. I guess the same folks did both. Well stay safe and stay strong out there.
