That blackberry jam jar find was the best of the video! That and the mysterious tree banging.
Take it bro….finder's keepers. no but serious
It's amazing how quickly nature reclaims her self , finding any thing left of history is amazing, job well done sir 😁
Take it back
AC Delco is a GM alternator
It's funny that he didn't even entertain the thought on camera of a big foot watching him. He knows they're there
Those guys who originally mined it out did a heck of a job cleaning it out, I’d love to see where they stopped working.
@50:30 I think if it hung on your wall with attached documentation of where you found it and a little story about the old timers that would be fantastic. Nobody gets any education or joy from something they'll never see or hear about.
The main part said "Leavenworth" on it and there was a Pioneer Stove Company foundry there so long ago nobody has any real stories about it. Also the page about stoves in that Sears catalog is missing on the google excerpt so I couldn't check there, in case they made a multiple item order. 🙂
Yes, we enjoy it for sure
What is it with boomer believing in Sasquatch, big foot, and all the other make believe garbage like god, heaven and hell.
There is zero proof of Bigfoot other than scams, and zero proof of god other than scams, I guess if you believe in one the other is easy to believe in. No wonder all these foreign scammers prey on the elderly they are easy marks.
What is the elevation?
Love these exploration videos of old mines and workings. Looking forward to seeing you back in your mine again as well 🤘🤘
Big foot is telling you your to close I would turn around
Delco-remmy engine starter housing is what it was.
If your carrying it I say it's yours
Great but cutting Dow a tree that’s probably 800 years old just for its wood crazy should be left
How did the old timers get their heavy stuff up the hill in the 60's? How about with Chinook helicopter? One of those massive twin rotor heavy lift choppers. They could haul 10,000 lbs back in the 60's.
You knocked em out with this one champ.
Very interesting keep going
Cool adventure thanks for taking us along.
@38:55 is a Delco-Remy direct-drive "Bendix" type starter casing, very similar to what would be on engines of the time and well into the 80s, it's the same sort of thing now but using gear reduction and a smaller electric motor section. The "other piece of it" was not part of the starter motor but an ignition spark coil, so these were gasoline engines. No idea on the last bit, maybe a fuel selection manifold so they could keep running while servicing tanks or swapping out fuel barrels.
Diesels existed by the 40s but perhaps the extra torque they could potentially serve was literally outweighed by how much heavier they were to haul up there, and if they also had smaller gas-powered tools like chainsaws then sharing the single type of fuel would also be logistically better (one drum to fuel them all). Also compressors and shakers and mills all probably run better on a large flywheel spun up by the speed of horsepower and drive-ratios to convert horsepower to torque rather than directly grunted by raw torque so diesel might not have been quite as ideal anyway (such as on a dozer/backhoe) plus the fuel could gel up in the cold especially before any sort of fuel additives.
Take it and preserve it.
leave it but go and protect it from the elements
When are going back to mining at your mine?
I appreciate what your doing.
Certainly enjoy this content… I'm looking forward when you get an opportunity to do an Alaska special!
Contact an archaeologist if you want to do whats right Jason. Its not that antique since its just 100 yo, whats visible on the surface will eventually disappear on its own. If you do take a piece you have an obligation to attach a piece of paper of where you found it and other relevant info so it can be traced back to the site.
