We talk about abandoned mines and old mining towns Arizona, Nevada, California, Utah, and many other places. Some videos with tales that are about stolen and lost and buried treasures of gold.
Please note we try to be as accurate as possible but in many cases facts and figures have gotten lost over the many years. Old photos are very hard to come by also, so many of the same images are used in various videos. Times and dates get skewed over the years also, as do people and names.

This weeks video is about the old mining town and the mines of MOnte Cristo Washington. This old town had a very promising future until disaster struck. Although there is said to be nothing left, I would think there would be some gold and silver left behind.
