We Found A Secret Silver Stash While Metal Detecting!

I remember watching the first episode of ghost town living in the middle of the pandemic and just seeing the scenery was very nice especially when it snowed.

I used to frequent the mines of Cerro Gordo back in the 70's when I was a young man. The mine tunnels were in better shape back then, and we must have walked for miles down in the mountain. Extremely extraordinary mines honeycombed into the rock and other not so stable rock formations. A dangerous mine, for sure, but very addictive in it's adventure possibilities in the nether world. Good on ya, Brent! I am happy you purchased the town before it was destroyed by the lure of maximized profits. Remember, setbacks make the whole concept more enjoyable, and worthwhile, in the long run.

I’m an archivist. Organizing documents, artifacts, etc. is my job. One thing that any archivist, historian, or archeologist will tell you is that an object’s provenance (info about where/when an object was found, who found it, etc.) can be incredibly important when it comes to understanding the object, what it might have been used for, what it’s historical context is, etc. Your new understanding of and enthusiasm for documenting the provenance of objects at Cerro Gordo is fantastic and makes me really happy to see. Keep up the good work Brent!

though I had some problem with sea water It also youtube.com/post/Ugkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrH… land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

On android phones (probably iphones, too) there's a setting that allows you to store GPS coordinates automatically of where a picture was taken. Just have to make sure you have your camera settings correct, and GPS (location services) is actually turned on. I know it's just a small thing, but if you intend to make a habit of documenting all your finds from now on, having the phone do this for you automatically will save you hours, cumulatively.

Ghost town living has become my favorite show on YouTube and TV.

I think it's safe to say that Cerro Gordo is no longer a "Ghost" town. It is alive and it has a beating heart and its name is Brent Underwood. Thank you for pouring your soul into this project and bringing us along on the journey. Every dream begins with a dreamer...Keep dreaming Brent.

We started a project in the Baja California Mountains almost 3 years ago, our family ranch had been adbandon for year so my wife ,my son and I decided to bring it back to life again, Hard work, Long drives,pandemia and crazy weather almost made us quit, one day I found your channel and you became part or our project...now we are almost done and the satisfaction of seeing our place almost finish we celebrate it each sunset...Coyote Blues Ranch . Gracias Señor Brent. PD ,I will be 67 on the 25 of september and for first time in many year I feel like having a fiesta..I earn it

In saloons, two bits were good for two drinks, a good cigar or a “smile” (a 2 ½-ounce bottle of whiskey). A cheap cigar or beer was 5 cents and a game of pool was usually 2 ½ cents. When a customer ordered a 12 ½-cent drink and paid with a quarter, he had the choice of receiving a dime in change or a token for another drink at 12 ½ cents. He would rarely pass on that second drink. Since the token was only good in that particular establishment, he hung around and spent his token, and probably a few more quarters as well. If a token wasn’t redeemed, the proprietor made even more money, as it only cost him 2 to 4 cents to have one made.

I’m currently camping near Lands End in far southwest England, incredibly close to the ruins of tin and copper mines. I can’t think of a better way to spend a drizzly evening than to be in my sleeping bag watching a video about the progress of my favourite Californian ghost town that grew because of mining. Thank you Brent 😊

As a fellow archaeologist in WA state, I would also recommend having a “virtual museum”. As your channel has reached people across the globe it would be a great way to showcase 3D models or close up photos of the artifacts you find. Each with a brief description, time, and location found. I’ve followed your channel since the start and I LOVE that you’ve gotten recognition from other archaeologists. I would also even look into the prehistoric record of the area. It would be so interesting to see how the land has changed over time depending on the people who resided there. We know the area you’re in was inhabited over 10,000 years ago. Your very close to Pueblo Grande. I would almost guarantee there is prehistoric artifacts and lithics (stone tools) on your land. I would recommend Janetski and Talbot (2014) “Archaeology in the Great Basin and Southwest.” A personal favorite book of mine is “The Chaco Experience” by Ruth Van Dyke (2007). Im out in the field often and always look forward to coming back to a video. Thanks for all you do Brent.

I am an Aussie and love watching ghost town living. love getting on google maps and checking out the area of Cerro Gordo hills and valleys. I love the passion Brent has for Cerro Gordo history

What I find so fascinating is how one person can have such an infectious passion that it ignites similar passion in so many others. One person, bringing a ghost town to life by basically crowd-sourcing enthusiasm, passion, excitement and genuine love for the project. Man... only a couple of weeks ago and act of nature that had the potential to break the spirit of many but what amazing resilience to roll with that punch and keep moving on and be upbeat too. I truly and genuinely hope to visit Cerra Gordo one day to check the place out and meet Brent!

I've owned a construction company in southeast Missouri for many years, and the fact that you can get people to show up to volunteer blows my mind. Its next to impossible to find people willing to work in my area. Glad to see everything coming together up on the mountain. I've been watching since the beginning. Keep up the hard work man. It's gonna be well worth it in the end.

A few years ago very few people were aware of Cerro Gordo. Thanks to you Brent it is obvious that you have brought your ghost town into the future. Inyo county has also noticed the national and international exposure! most of it good! We believe in you Brent after the destruction of the floods this video brought hope and joy. Thanks for allowing us to join in your adventure.

I just want to say, that your perseverance makes me want to keep going. I currently feel tired, exhuasted; but we all feel this way. It's all part of the journey, thank you for your messages!

I do not live in the USA, have never been and very unlikely I will visit in the future but..... Ever since I came across Ghost Town Living I am eager to watch every new post, every new find It is so exciting for me, I can even believe I once lived there in my mind. You are very special person to me keeping the history of the USA alive and exciting for the new young and old "historians" who may help or visit you now and in the future. I so wish I could. Please keep up the good work for those who will follow.

Those whom stand still. Will forever miss the future.

You look like someone that is having SO much fun that they can't wait to wake up every morning. It's very inspiring.. and your life looks amazing. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I’m so impressed at the long term commitment you have dedicated to this project. Resurrecting a mining town of ages past is no small commitment! Godspeed in all you do out there in the desert!
