If you could do me a huge favor and hit that thumb up, I would appreciate it more than you realized. A big thank you for your continued support. Please subscribe, like, comment, and share this video. Your support means a lot to us. 🙂

All of that equipment, both inside the building and outside near the trucks, is Milling euipment for a Mining Operation. Those Chemicals on the shelves and those long counters & cabinets say that that was an Assay Laboratory. The room with the Safe looked like it had some Fire Assay equipment on the shelves in back. You didn't explore far enough, there should be a fairly large Mine somewhere in the immediate vicinity. -

facility for processing mineral samples, I know because I worked in one. chem such as acid, and arsenic are used to seperate certain minerals, or petroleum samples, also to separate gold from black sand, or other minerals that are the same weight or heavier than gold, silver, platinum, or copper.since manual separation is difficult between minerals with the same weights. happy exploring!!!!

The first thing that pops in my head is how much this place reminds me of Breaking Bad!

Just remember when you venture into any of these type of facilities that electrical panels become your best source of dating a building or site. Many electricians mark dates on the circuit directory but a panel and circuit breakers can be roughly dated pretty easily. This panel in the chemical room was from a Bryant/ Westinghouse panel which was from the 70's. It can help you with the rough date from that timeframe. Jeff Licensed Journeyman Electrician

So many chemicals make this place look like a building that's not at all abandoned but people are strange indeed...a lot of places like this are left behind untouched....Very good video overall..excellent quality!!

Those truck tires are still inflated. For as old as they are and being an abandoned area, I find that quite odd in ways. The equipment/machinery, chem barrels, building and the safe are all newer than the trucks as well. Those trucks are all complete and would be pretty sweet to restore. Very few ever survived like that.

That First Tank, Was a Ribbon Blender......the Blades inside are shaped like ribbons for mixing Solids. We used to make lubricating Greases in one at my old job. Awesome INTL. Truck !! DUDE , You Need A More Powerful Flashlight !! ACID Won't Eat Through Those PVC Drums(Barrels). NICE JOB GUYS !!

Interesting little video, I am a free miner (prospector) up here in Canada. All of the different chemicals, as stated are used in mining. I have a field assay pack I take with me, which include between 10 and 30 small bottles of acid and other chemicals. I would have loved if you explored a little more, as for the acid and smell, a simple filter mask, rubber gloves and coveralls would have been enough to protect you as long as you had no direct contact. A return visit would be cool, with some preplaning and some basic equipment as mentioned above would go a long way to allow that. I so hope you return and explore a little more.

From 6:18 to 6:32 the enhanced security around the safe looks fairly fresh. Looks like a great place to back away from and leave it all as is untouched. Who knows what surveillance cams are zeroed in on that corner that are out of sight?Good job acting in a prudent manner and leaving the area as you found it untouched minus a few foot prints.

Surprisingly the Vandals haven't destroyed that place yet. Must have been recently closed or, a patrolled area. Great find.

Thanks to you, I now have an appreciation for old trucks and equipment. 😁

At least one chemical could be read: oxalic acid. Not a good idea to ingest or keep in prolonged contact with skin.

Those trucks look in pretty good condition. Also, what company was there?

There is a magazine called "Outdoors". You could submit your findings to them. I am sure they would be interested.

wow! some cool vintage trucks you found there .AWESOME!

if you found leaking chemicals, you should have reported it to the EPA.

This looks to me like it could have been an ore mining and refining facility, maybe silver which was at an all time high in the '80's. That would explain the chemicals and the large safes to keep the finished product in. If this in the Nevada desert it would very likely have been a silver mine.

What always strikes me is that while people may come and go, it is the inanimate objects that seem to go on and on. The people who drove those old trucks back when they were new are either very old now or six feet under. But the trucks, building and equipment persist. I suppose they too, will turn to dust eventually. Most everything does.

Definitely a mining outfit. You gotta watch it around those places.

Hey EWU, I enjoy your explorations with the family. I have 7 kids and when they were younger we did some of this. Brings back memories. Maybe check out Lori Vallo’s kids where abouts lol im playing, keep up the explorations oh and there no alarm no power its been a long time,

Interesting collection of stuff. The trucks are from the 1930s. 6:34 The Tank Farm control panel is from about the 1960s. The other stuff looks to be from the 1980s or before. I'd say the place was probably abandoned in the late 1980s.

Would you or have you ever called someone about the leaking chemicals you find in these places?

the ferrous sulfate is an essential body mineral. Ferrous sulfate is used to treat iron deficiency anemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by having too little iron in the body).Hemoglobin carries oxygen through your blood to tissues and organs. Myoglobin helps your muscle cells store oxygen. and the other quim.. I see on the video is Oxalic acid is rubbed onto completed marble sculptures to seal the surface and introduce a shine. Oxalic acid is also used to clean iron and manganese deposits from quartz crystals. Oxalic acid is used as a bleach for wood, removing black stains caused by water penetration maybe is a mine of quartz crystals around there , and I think you should try to open the safe!

shoulda opened that safe man the electric was off so no alarm would gone off. peace brother.

thats a milk or dairy processing plant. i recognize the chemicals and equipment used, i do construction and maintenance at a processing plant myself. its pretty cool stuff!! great vid man keep up the good content!

I would love to salvage those old internationals, they'd make excellent restoration projects

does it bother anyone else that the tires on one of those trucks looked new?

Government needs to clean that up. Very dangerous, but you have the best job ever!

important dates for the price of gold (significant turning points): Oct 1970 $234 / oz, Mar 1974 $890 / oz, Jun 1976 $538 / oz, Feb 1980 $2125 / oz, Apr 1982 $880 / oz, Nov 1987 $1024 / oz, Mar 2001 $377 / oz, Aug 2014 $2033 / oz. Looking at period between the '76 low and the '80 high and (at the time when gold peaked it looked like it was going much much higher). I imagine that this was a major factor in when new facilities and when significant investments would have been made in mining in the area. It looks like the lab would try and determine which acids to use to separate the gold from the ore. I saw some core samples that maybe is what they figured out what would work best to process the ore. One of the substances I could read was Oxalic Acid. From Wikipedia - Oxalic acid is also used to clean iron and manganese deposits from quartz crystals. (Quartz is often associated with gold)

Bin bussy since yesterday to watch all the vid cant stop anymore its so fun to watch u have a new sub for sure 100%✔💯

Wow! No idea what they were making out there? Makes you wonder....... very cool old trucks! Just sitting there.....you find some interesting places! Great video! Stay safe guys!

the first truck, the flatbed, was from the late 1920s to maybe the early 1930s. The second truck was easily late 1950s to early 1960s.

Hard to comprehend that the door is simply open with all that inside and it appears still in tact as the way they left it. Creepy.

Things go bad and stuff gets left behind and forgotten. The high desert preserves stuff amazingly well...

all those items and acids are uesed for mining

They must have made better tires way back then, they're still in decent shape.

If you ever come across a barrel of 245 Trioxin....stay away lol

The EPA needs to get in there and clean that out. You're responsible business owners! What were they doing out there?

That truck would make a kickass lawn ornament

This place is so dangerous, it's unbelievable that they have left it completely open like that with all of those chemicals leaking everywhere. No wander you didn't hang around too long. Very interesting to see all the same. I am very sorry to see that you are having problems with somebody trying to discredit all your work and cause you no end of trouble. I hope you will manage to sort it soon.

I would have still tried to open that safe alarm or not. with it being that old it may not have even went off

That's a gold and precious metals extraction finishing room

It does seem some comments are being deleted. We've yet to see EWU 'break' into anything. The code of urban exploring is strict about not breaking into places. If someone finds a location that is unsecure and they use an entrance to go inside, it may be trespassing but it's not breaking and entering. As far as I know it becomes a civil matter. There would need to be evidence of property damage for any legal proceedings to be taken against EWU.

That's how they did it back in the day. Drive bodies in the middle of nowhere with trucks labeled under some transportation company and then dispose the bodies in acid barrels 🤔

Someone needs to rescue those trucks. Very cool.

I find it very interesting that there is no evidence of animals or rodents in the building with all the chemicals. I think you made the right choice by getting out of there.

I worked in a very large and deep mine (8300 feet deep) for 10 years. The chemicals they use to separate the ore from the rock has a very pungent smell. That may have been what you were smelling. Not toxic to smell, Just don't get it on your skin.

One of the more intriguing places you've been. A lot more exploring to be done there.

You guys ever considered outfitting your armada a bit more?? It'd be cool if you guys had an overland set up, that way you could go lotsa places and not worry about getting stuck/lost ect

YOUR MEXICAN AND YOU DIDN'T TRY TO GO THROUGH THAT SAFE, YOUR A FIRST.

That International truck would make an awesome rat rod. The boys at WeldRup need to get ahold of that truck!!

It pains me to see old vehicles just wasting out in places like this, I wish someone would find em, take em and restore them.

I be too scared to do this. I don’t have any balls to adventure out into creepy places. Cool video 👍

Where are you in this video? It seems like an old spot where they were testing ores and stone, hence the chemicals. There was also mining equipment, so maybe it was a mining company and you only found the lab section, or the entire facility was dedicated to research. Either way, there's got to be a mine nearby, and the whole operation was shut down quickly, which would explain why everything is still there

you should get a Geiger counter just to be safe when exploring thing like that, it seems strange that those vehicles would just be left there.

Awesome video...wish you had tried the safe. If no electricity, the alarm probably would not have gone off.

That's an aggregate bin outside above the conveyor. The big thing with the pulley looks like a mixer, you should have looked inside... The chemicals could have been admixture's or cleaners. The two small silo's in the back probably held powders. I work in a similar setting, only much larger. We also have a safe. You need to zoom in or get closer to things, it would remove a lot of the mystery. As someone else stated, take a volt meter with you. You can check to see if something has power; which is a good idea simply for safety.

those trucks are very rare in that condition. i would love to get those windshield patterns for the rest of my vintage patterns.

Very cool old trucks in restorable condition. I hope someone hauls them out of there before they're destroyed by the elements.

Hell, I was waiting for the monsters to jump out "Doom" like!

WOW @ THAT TRUCK. Collectors Item

its in the middle of nowhere so where did the get electricity to operate all of the machienery? i dont see a generator and if so it must have been huge.

The hills have eyes man... be careful.. lol

another great adventure video and I look forward to your next one. thanks for sharing the adventures with us

Wow, that place was creepy....who would leave all of those chemicals behind. DAH

Like the way you got the Mrs to open the door and you were right behind her, lol, hahahaha

The place obvious has no power. I mean, for all you know there could have been a million dollars sitting in that safe. You should have spent an entire day opening it.

I sure hope you carry something a little more powerful than a can of mace. Someday you may run into someone who doesn't want to have anything to do with explorers and may forcefully object to your presents. With your boys along it just seems like good insurance. I live in Arizona and can (and do) carry every where I go just for that reason. Yes, I subscribed and hit like and hit the bell. LOL!!

Maybe the smell of death was a stray cat, it probably dies from all the chemicals either drinking it or just breathing it in for a long time

Wow those trucks are awsum !!

It's nice to see something that vandals haven't ravaged.

It's a concrete plant, look at the silos, and the chemicals, it's fine mineral testing too

who else thought of the hills have eyes

Interesting remote high desert find in the middle of nowhere.Figured it was part of some mining operations years ago.Good job.👍

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)is a strong acid. ... In metal mining, sulfuric acid is used to leach copper oxide minerals. In one process, a solution of sulfuric acid laden with copper sulfate is stripped of copper via a solvent extraction and electro winning with the used sulfuric acid recycled back into the process.

u guys r pretty ok. as opposed to the big budget urban exploring. I dig how u ask the viewers for input.

Love the old international truck,,I'm a truck driver and I want that truck,

great video mates havent heard from you in a while hope you take a look sometime ;;) i lovedthe shelf with all the chemicals

Explore With Us, I have checked the lists for removal of HazMet materials on abandoned property, we do not show anything recently. I remove these items and would like to go to the site and recon the barrels to see if there is anything that would hurt the local animals or area growth. If you will advise the area, let me know I will send you my e-mail address and phone number. These chemicals need to be put in a safe place.

those trucks look like their in decent shape, wish I could buy at least one of them

Cool trucks. Man, they sure could build them.

Awesome find EWU! Your videos are great!

Holy fuck please save those trucks.

Yr videos are so freakin awesome!! It's like watchin a movie lol. The music you threw in made it that much more cool and suspenseful! Oh yeah you should ALWAYS have a box in yr car with everything you need such as gloves, MASKS, more lighting, etc.

Thats all equipment for extracting gold from tailings from a mine somewhere. Yep the chems are for assaying mineral samples. My grandparents own a assay lab, that's how I know what they are.

I just found your channel and really enjoy your videos I'm now a subscriber.. Keep the vids coming.. Great work man

Great find and video! I'm surprised that the place hasn't had every piece of metal, pipe and wire pulled out of it yet. Those trucks are worth something - but the owner probably had more to deal with in fines from hazmat. Kinda scary.

I love watching these videos. Thank you for sharing.

Those trucks were abandoned long before that equipment was there, I also noticed a modern circuit breaker box not nearly in the age range of the trucks. Strange set up, in any case. I wonder what was in there?

It looks like a gold refinery, outside was a large wash plant like in gold rush. Pretty cool.

Get back there and open that safe! Just don't go near the drums of acid cause there are probably bodies dissolving in them lol. Hey at least you now have a great place to go to when the Walking Dead happens to America!

Between the sulfuric acid and baking soda it looks like Walter White and Jesse Pinkman might have used that place for a couple weekends.

Wow - trucks from the 1930's (ok after 1935). I loved finding things in the woods where i lived as a kid. such adventures :}

4:40 please, when you see bottles like this. Do at close up scan of each shelf.

So creepy, secret lab in the middle of nowhere 😮 great video!

El Pollo Loco's basement is in shambles since Heisenberg left! ^-^ This is so cool, thanks guys!

Thanks for another Chart Buster. Greetings from Ody Slim

you should definitely call someone about those chemicals I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of laws being broken there.

An anonymous postcard to the EPA would be a good idea...
