Thank you, Raven! This reminds me of the old days when you guys went on crazy trips! Those were the days!

[@tinamariegallox]

the orginal father daughter duo sold the channel ):

[@JulieCaptivatedinFl]

@@tinamariegallox I didn't know that. Thank you.

[@ORIGINAL4D]

​@@tinamariegallox did they I'm not sure they did.

[@avogavo]

​@@tinamariegallox I thought they made the writing. Where did you find this info

[@oldenoughtoknow...]

Me and my bestie used to be on the phone together to watch these. Getting our timing just right. I miss those videos!!!!!! 😢. So exciting!!!

[@debbiemitchell6055]

I miss your old explore video's thank you for this today.

[@aaronhurd6434]

This was more engaging and enjoyable than the standard archeological shows on KZbin you generally come across. I look forward to watching the next in this series.

[@RandomShan62]

Absolutely love these kind of videos if it was a 6 hour video I’d sit through the entire thing

[@bluntmanchris6118]

Same love them

[@hrbailey379xhd]

Been watching the EWU crew since the days of driving around with the family ! Love them old videos! Glad to see some videos in that classic vein.

[@Br0k3n51mulation]

Just binge watched all the new releases on EACH CHANNEL OF YOURS! Would do it again every week or whenever u guys are able to release new content. Thx for your awesome videos I can binge watch every channel and never get tired of your content! Keep up the great work!

[@shanansadler9700]

Chances are that first S shaped iron piece you found was part of a buckboard, which is the hard wooden seat of a wagon. The reason they called it a buckboard was because if the driver was inexperienced in driving a team that board seat would buck you off.😂

[@madenabyss6981]

Waking up to 3 videos in 3 hours your the best EWU CREW 👍

[@angiew1841]

Loved this , thanks Ewu and Raven , from a Wild West loving Brit .

[@Coby_Got]

This is absolutely amazing! SOOO MUCH FUN TO WATCH!!!! Thank you for the history lesson!

[@kennapace3869]

WOW!!! What an amazing video and story. I was spellbound from the beginning. I love ghost towns and walking through old cemeteries. Thank you for your hard work and diligence.

[@OdySlim]

Thanks Bob. I loved watching it! Regards from Ody Slim

[@TammieR-B]

I just finished watching the crime upload. Perfect 👍💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@daltonlandrum9515]

The explore with us name makes so much sense now. Wish I would have found this half of the Chanel so much sooner. I absolutely love this content!!!

[@gregrobertson2726]

That was a first class video. You actually found great artifacts in this age. An interesting tale to boot. Brings those people’s stories closer to our time. It’s then you realize it really wasn’t all that long ago. Great sleuthing!

[@wcmwfab935]

Always great content. So many years of great vids.

[@Darthbetel]

This was sooo good. Thx so much. I live in Nevada and love seeing this. You can’t tell by looking, but the terrain and environment are so darn hostile it’s a real feat to get out and wander like that. ✌️

[@morphergaming0531]

Fascinating, thoroughly enjoy walking through history with a wonderful narration of facts and musings of wild west life. Could watch endless hours, will check out your previous vids. Thanks for all that you do.

[@Trowis61]

That "S" shaped artifact that you found at 11:26 in the video, looks to me like a broken piece of a decorative metal "head board" from a metal bed frame from the time period. My two cents worth. Great Video Thanks!

[@tberk470]

Yes! please make more history videos. Love all your channels

[@missmelbayer]

I sure miss your exploring videos with the kids. Cool video thanks love these!!!

[@victoriagale1623]

So interesting!! Love these videos keep posting please!! Always been a HUGE ewu fan and enjoy following your adventures! 😊

[@ravensclawtemplar]

Yay I love animal spotting. As a lonely country kid it's one of my favorite past times

[@RusticVentures]

That's why it's hard to find remnants of towns in the Pine Barrens, bricks and wood were dismantled and used elsewhere (really vandals as it wasn't their property) or lost to forest fires. Lots of history lost. Excellent investigative exploring! Square nail heads are actually a cool find as they are an indicator of pre-1900s. Lots of cool remnants found! The cemetery is actually in pretty good shape. Great video!

[@AT1881Cowboy]

Great video, exploring, and information! Thank you very much!!!

[@Christopherparlow]

The great starvation starts as soon as the creepers starts to build.

[@ColinKane-kd9ib]

Takes me back to my time at Susanville. Love the gopher snakes too

[@StokedToker]

The stamp mill had parts manufactured in San Francisco in 1888 per the label. Fascinating! Thanks!

[@faeriespirit6028]

Seeing this area takes me back to childhood I was born and raised in the Mojave desert a town called Hinkley that whole desert was my playground to the opal likes and calico ghost town :) I used to find amethyst and arrowheads in my ‘yard’ sadly the water poisoned our wells from chromium six and it’s a ghost town now . The school I went k-8 still stands and the church.

[@faeriespirit6028]

Raven , if you want I’d love to go back there and take a look around :) my estranged father still lives not far from there . But now Hinkley like my own hands and the owl canyon up there elephant mountain and there is an old water park right outside the drive in of Barstow

[@chrissmith-no3bo]

Its really cool learning about history. I love stuff like this.

[@bmfilmnut]

Those aren't "square" nails. They're cut nails which were cut out of a sheet of iron. They taper on only one side. Before cut nails, nails were forged one by one by a blacksmith. They taper on both sides. Obviously, they were very valuable because of the labor involved to make them. You shouldn't find them in western ghost towns because they were made at an earlier time. Cut nails are still available for special uses such as flooring. I may be wrong but I think cut nails are used for horse shoes.

[@jimwilson8879]

The rusty piece of metal appears to be part of a cast iron bed frame or possibly part of a gate

[@AnalynC1229]

Yayyyy traveling with the EWU crew and the ravon ❤❤

[@Charger1908]

That S shaped piece of metal could have been used as an anchor plate for a brick or mason wall back in the 1800’s

[@ivoinacio8426]

Since it is a historic place, in my opinion, it would be interesting to carry out an archaeological excavation around the city and rebuild it, transforming it into a public museum for everyone to visit and learn about its history and what life was like at that time. A big thank you for the video and a hug from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@frisk151]

I have always had issues with tripping over 'dead bodies'... Especially in a firefight.. I love archeology and while not a pro, graveyards are my thing, as well as towns (or what remains) like this... I will say this, and I'm sure it'll get some frowns if anyone reads this... Never remove a square nail from an old building or anything still standing.. BUT, pick up that and whatever else on a trail like they are arrowheads.. I am a technical scientific diver who legal has been on the Monitor ship wreck.. I personally take issue with anything that is historical and is left to rot / rust away and not recovered.. NOT for a single second do I agree with people taking souvenirs from underwater graves - military for the most part, but the Titanic is going to be a rust stain within 100 years of today, if not sooner.. Same with the monitor.. I'm glad the turret and other things were removed once she was found... Good for you on doing what is considered the "Right Thing"; however, I would rather those square nails (etc) fall into private hands, and one day after we all die, they could be donated or just passed down... Hope that makes sense..

[@aboveybelow]

I gave the very first like, I was just now thinking of watching something like this, it's perfect

[@AxtionMag]

This was way cool!! Loved it!

[@Kobytraphouse]

More of these please !!

[@rexmasters1541]

Its part of an ornate fence. Decoration that goes along the top of the fence.

[@GammonMaster-PcP]

A metal detector would be handy there Thanks for the history vid 👌

[@nzcarlie]

Mann I miss the exploring videos with dad and the kids ❤️❤️❤️

[@craigbennett5618]

The metal piece, I believe was to hang a kerosene light in. I have one just like it i found more intricate.

[@marissaraedickman9103]

does anyone else see the streak of light across the screen about 31:58?

[@brosephbroman7564]

Someone's soul zipped by

[@Kobytraphouse]

Good catch that’s amazing. Nothing I can think of that looks that white floating in the middle of the desert. Definitely gives paranormal vibes

[@raven88261]

Ahh i love this! Missed this kind of videos❤

[@DesertRat.45]

Drive the road from Yurington all the way to Bodie. Theres still some wild country left.

[@baysideauto]

Awesome upload i could watch hours of this kind of content.thanks

[@crittercritter2583]

Where’s Ewubob and ewuemma ?

[@Vicarivss]

Lol they’re sitting back raking in those big fat KZbin checks at this point. Their channel turned into multiple, highly viewed channels.

[@onceyouwheeinyoucantwheeout]

Probably have their own jobs or activities to do

[@garymittelstadt7821]

The bracket looks like a bracket for a wall hanging kerosene lamp. One end inserted into a wall sconce and swivelled the lamp. The other end was a cast basket for the lamp. Usually had embellishments cast onto it. Also usually had a concave mirror attached to reflect light.

[@RangerGucci]

Every building in town having a bar is pretty funny

[@bradtyson]

Great video!

[@merchantman3955]

Almost as if I was walking along.Thanks.

[@rogergriffin9893]

Cool! I'm glad you missed those snakes! What was that second snake? Beavers along the Walker river? That is excellent habitat restoration.

[@amyt3426]

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing! 🐍🐍🐍Say hi to your fans 😂😂😂

[@kilcitykitty]

nice! well done i love history :)

[@jessepitt]

11:15 I’m guessing it was wagon/carriage grab handle.

[@Toyahsi2]

Awesome video!

[@SuperTalleyho]

Awesome vid.

[@maskedman1337]

This dude is an excellent storyteller. Picks up a broken piece of glass and starts pondering if perhaps Daly took his last shot from it. Just good way to humanize history.

[@jamiebobamie487]

Topo map is pronounced "top oh" as it is short for topography! ❤ Map nerd reporting in.

[@juliecurtis4045]

The 3 children whose grave is at 39:00 , given 1878...mostly died from the diphtheria epidemic.

[@dartdude4084]

This was good, I was just in Virginia city Nevada

[@andrewward2010]

Was that EWU Rooney doing the exploring? Amazing what items are still out there after over 100 years.

[@kingforaday8725]

Are you the same guy that use to travel isolated desolate areas in California and its border states? Ghost towns, old mines. At first never showed your face and an unknown partner who was later revealed as your daughter? Id forgotten the channel name and it popped up today.

[@volanterodas]

good stuff

[@Charger1908]

I found an old picture of the town, it was quite large. It looked to have over twenty buildings some very large some small and some houses on the outskirts.

[@jamesmurray5934]

Yay!!! Back to adventures.

[@JoeyBowen-tm7ey]

I used to love watching ewu bob and family

[@saravillareal6012]

Thank you very interesting ❤ EWU

[@Bossbugg90]

Snake: Thank you human. You may live to see another day.

[@mercedesmartinez0813]

"Say hello to your fans" 😂😊

[@marissaraedickman9103]

I LOVE EWU!!!! ❤

[@SpankyK]

36:00 I can imagine Daley throwing a shot glass after slamming 6 back, kicking and verbally berating the crowd.

[@timmyp6297]

What happened to the original two?

[@sarahmarlow3495]

Wait, is this the person who runs EWU crew??? Holy crap.

[@jessecraft1199]

Was given 2 ads, the second one being a full podcast 55 minutes in length. What the heck is KZbin doing? I shouldn’t have to skip the ad on my phone to avoid watching an ad longer than your video.

[@annyonny1224]

This narrator is the second coming of Peter Thomas.

[@justiningram2380]

Running in four wheel drive like that on dry roads will mess up the drivetrain

[@joelee2371]

Unless there is a center differential, which have become more common.

[@jimmiev]

Yes! Happy Wednesday! E W U

[@itsallaboutjesus7803]

Part of a oil wall lamp bracket at 10:42

[@jazzrat2000]

the glass would have a purple tinge if it sat out in the sun For more than 150 years

[@TylerLoftis-e9y]

Glad you relocated the snake without feeling the need to run it over I wish more people was like you I live in Florida I hunt the ocala national forest and have watched these hillbilly hicks swerve all the way into oncoming lanes to run over snakes nothing irritates me more than irrational fear lol

[@rogergriffin9893]

I thought Bodie was mostly silver mines?

[@kehenabeach4418]

That item looked like handbrake hardware for a buckboard wagon!

[@stevedavis7005]

That was part to a wall lamp

[@GaryFord1969]

You could find more with a good metal detector...

[@SpankyK]

11:27 Is it a Wheel break? 🛞

[@daniellandersonsr8034]

It's a lamp hanger

[@KAL5370]

Maybe make the watermark a bit smaller. It's very distracting.

[@jimclarke1108]

Cool story , oi oi oi

[@Paparoxx]

Google microphone wind screen. Please...

[@DarkmanEsq]

minute 11:26 thats a lantern holder

[@renatatarnawski5974]

U can tell if a snake is poisonous by the eyes

[@KayentaRojo]

*venomous

[@rolgor]

The beginning makes no sense. A member of the Daley gang stole a horse from Johnson so that made the Daley gang want revenge on Johnson? Why, were they mad because he let them steal from him?

[@kevinpetre7445]

Lantern holder

[@griffhenshaw5631]

Why dont you mention navy used for bombing practice that destroyed the town.

[@jonhvilla8438]

propane stove i think

[@Alex7q9v]

Hey KZbin: u should not allow any video with subtitles that can not be turned off, u have far to many of them.

[@jimmywoo7875]

Thats not Bobs voice is it...

[@bjmartin5225]

It’s for a gas light
