[@ronfeldman4386]

Hot BUNS is right. It's amazing how you open your mind and try so many different outdoor activities. Gold panning, Wandering around Ghost towns, etc. People learn more with an open mind and something tells me that you will continually learn something new every day. Thanks for showing everyone your adventures

[@joe2thesequel]

You lift everyone up with your videos and you positive personality.

[@gogamma]

At 10:44 the room you couldn't identify looks lite where they printed the paper. That wooden box on the floor looks like a type setting box that they used to store the individual letters, numbers and symbols in. And on the left wall that looks like a Printing Press. What a fascinating historical place. Thanks for taking us on your journey.

[@bryanvargo5691]

Correct. The wooden box is called a California job case, which was a type case used to hold moveable type for letterpress printing. I remember having to memorize the location of where each letter was stored in the California job case back in my high school graphics arts class. Love the adventures and the videos!

[@Lothramir]

Your voice allways sounds like when your with your best friend out on a mischief! I love it :) After ive read to many newspapers your videos can allways cheer me up! Your joy is truly infectious.

[@petertarantelli]

Good morning Dr. Hannah! Thank you for starting my day with me. Gold prospecting seems like it would be right up your alley and,apparently, it pays off! The mining town ‘recreation’ was really neat. I’m assuming the buildings were brought from different places and set up? The building that you thought might be a school house, I think that was printing press ‘stuff’ on the floor, so maybe a town newspaper? The funky chair seems like it’s set up to restrain someone with the hooks and pegs set up to bind someone around the chest and arms, maybe? Have a wonderful day 🤗 Oh, cowboy boots with the towel wrap, perfect!

[@DrHannahStraight]

Peter!! Good morning!! Yes they were brought together and now are arrested in time! The printing press makes sense and the restraints! maybe for the dentist!!😳

[@petertarantelli]

@@DrHannahStraight arrested in time, perfect analogy. Dentist, perhaps 🤔 and that reminds me, I need to schedule a cleaning 🦷

[@raymonddimuzio5115]

Morning Doc! The building you could not identify, looks like a printers set of letters in the tray that was on the floor but none of the equipment in the place looked like a printing machine, unless it was really small. Maybe the town newspaper? Thanks for the outhouse tour! Two holes no waiting! No idea what the chair was for?! Have Fun, Doc!

[@DrHannahStraight]

hahaha glad you liked my corny outhouse joke=)

[@alanlunt]

At 10.47 you are looking at a frame with little square spaces that contain a font of lead type! It's called a California Job Case. It was used to make up columns of type that were inserted into a printing press and coated with thick gooey black ink. So this may have been a newspaper press room. After printing is completed, each little letter had to be cleaned and put back in the proper cubby hole for reuse. Each size of type needed a separate drawer in a huge cabinet. If you drop it on the floor, you're in for an all day job replacing hundreds of individual letters! Thank God and Microsoft for word processing software!

[@tomrussell2291]

The newspaper was often used as insulation. Also the building with the Divided boxes on the floor and ~10:40 is a printing press

[@DrHannahStraight]

Thank you!! I was scratching my head, could not figure out if it was a scale?! haha this makes much more sense!

[@anthonyortiz32]

[@Goldenasteroid8]

My favorite classifier is a white plastic salad colonder with little square holes. I have used it for several years and works well. I use the little shovel to fill it over the pan and work out all the pebbles which aren't gold that big anyway. Then wash the sand and gold into the pan trying not to break the collander.

[@brunnie]

Thank you Hannah. Very interesting quest for gold, hope you strike it rich. Loved the tour of the ghost town, it looks to be very well kept for tourists. Until next time... Travel safe.

[@davidmeeks2405]

You had a wonderful view while taking a shower which in turn gave us a wonderful view. Ghost town was way Cool. I believe that the chair was just a chair but crafted out of some farm equipment. And pretty sure that the cages w/ little doors was for Carrier Pigeons.

Just to help out, if you want me to? The shop you didn't know (10:47 minutes) is the Print shop or maybe making the newspaper that box with all the little sections in it, it to hold the type(letters) to make the sentences, to make print set.

The wooden drawer on the floor is for holding Type letters for printing. It would be in a cabinet with many drawers like that each filled with letter for a printing press.

I'm learning some tips about gold prospecting from your videos , but not much gold found in central London , but imagine you could be walking over a ton of the stuff . Also , those old towns you visit , just fascinating , life must have been very hard back then .

[@davidbladen5667]

Hi Dr. Hannah, the reason that you see newspaper on the walls is to block out cold drafts of wind from leaking through the board walls. It does make for interesting reading though. I didn't hear you mention the name and whereabouts of the ghost town. I'd love to check out this place. Have you been to Columbia State Park in the California gold country? You'd love it! The old hotel there is said to be haunted. I haven't been there for years but they did have a gold digging tour at a nearby mine when I was there. Also don't pass up the old mining town of Bodie a few miles north of Mono Lake. Great fun and history there as well. Enjoy your travels and stay safe... Dave

[@milesj6064]

That is another cool adventure, sounds like if you have a lot of free time, you could get some gold, but by weight not sure how long it would take to earn some money to be worth it. I really think you would enjoy that van for travelling, it has more room, which is nice to have when you are in it full time. But seeing the van at the end of the video, it would definitely need better tires. Again another interesting place to visit and loved the ghost town.

[@DrHannahStraight]

a lot more storage and functionality for living, less accessibility at times but there are trade offs in all things=) thank you so much for the watch! Happy Sunday!!!

[@SCOOPFREE]

A good hack for melting cheese on top a burger for example is really an old Diner trick. I use an old pot lid, squirt some water into your pan near the burger and cover quickly with lid. Wait a few seconds for the water to evapoarate and Voila, a perfectly steamed cheese burger. If you like onions but not raw , I dice a bit of onion and when raw I put in onto my burger under the cheese before I steam and the steaming/melting process perfectly cooks the onion by the time you assemble and eat the burger. That's another old Diner trick they used to do back in the day. I tell them to do my onions like that at 5 guys and they're always amazed.

[@Metalrogue]

Great video Doc! Mountain scenery, gold panning and a ghost town! I must admit that I'm liking that van more, it seems to be able to make the back country roads you like.
