Finding A 100 Year Old Briefcase (And Treasure Map?) in Abandoned Ghost Town

[Music] i feel like this is the start of a whole other video finding a treasure map in an old envelope so freaky why is there a bag of bones [Music] oh hello again i know it's been a really long time i apologize whoa hello i got appendicitis so i actually don't have an appendix anymore that was an unfortunate event after you know given the fire the earthquake they lost power for a while but anyways i'm back and as you can tell some new additions to the cerro gordo family we got some goats uh this is elon this is tofu hello tofu this is papa this is beretta hey hey guys guys come on i'm trying to i'm trying to film here elon [ __ ] my appendix anyways i want to keep catching you guys up with some of the projects we've been doing obviously the hotel's been a big project but i finally want to show you some of the things i found in the general store to clean that out i found probably the coolest wow i probably found the coolest things ever about cerrogordo in the whole general store i found this briefcase with documents that i just have to show you guys these are things that are gonna lead to all sorts of new videos and excursions i'm sure can't wait to jump into this thing and hopefully show you guys some more regular updates now that you know knock on wood health issues at our side the original general store at cerro gordo this is right in the center of town and it's something that i have been spending an awful lot of my own time on you come in these are the original shelves the original bar that they would sell stuff you know and kind of curated some of the old stuff you know miners axes dynamite boxes more dynamite boxes bought back here this is the museum so these are all artifacts as they go through mines and i find stuff this is antique dust 1865 originally these pocket watches people would drop all the time as they would go through the different mines we got knives old bottles more bottles bullets horseshoes fossils they even have fossils on the property and all sorts of everything chinese coins from all the chinese workers and some boxes yeah i think a mercury these guys that's the people down at the 900 level of the mine it always gets me as this guy he's in a suit totally fresh you know just casually chilling 900 feet down in a mine in a suit the infamous briefcase i found that contains all sorts of crazy documents it is something that i've never found anything even closer like this being up here for two years i found all sorts of stuff but this stuff in here i'll go through it in more detail but just checks from 1926 you know letters stamps i mean it's bank statements there's deeds in here it is the craziest find i've made here yet and i think it's gonna lead to all sorts of new adventures there's things in there that i found that are gonna leave me on all sorts of paths and i hope maybe you know youtube can help me track down some of the things in here including some of the names you know there's three main miners that are in this briefcase and i'd love to be able to find them you know however we can um i have their names i know obviously they're at cerro gordo and keeler and lone pine maybe we can get some of these documents back to their descendants i think that'd be kind of a cool use of uh youtube and the internet it was wrapped in a blanket hidden underneath a part of the museum that hadn't been explored in decades and as i was cleaning it out it was wrapped in a blanket under the shelf as i pulled it out there's just tons and tons of letters in here and this is it's awesome you know this is the highs the lows the hopes the dreams the everything of a few miners the three people we're looking for are mr j.d leary of keeler california looks like he was active around 1930s so if anybody knows anything about leary's in keeler chet or chester reynolds who was about in the 50s who had a company apparently called anaconda copper mining he has a lot of lawsuits and different things if anybody has any way to get in touch with him that would be interesting or andrew or josephine carrithers from lone pine and they were from the 50s as well but those are the three names characters reynolds and leary and this box has tons of documents for them so i'd love to figure out a way to maybe get this to some of their relatives or descendants i have a letter here from the utah junk company 1934 for mr leary that's him trying to sell some zinc it says dear sir i received your favor of the fourth and was very glad to hear from you again with spelter at 440 at st louis i do not think it would be profitable for you to ship zinc ore so far however for your shipment to bar bartersville i could pay you as follows pay 87 for zinc contest less 17.5 cents less a treatment of fifteen dollars fifteen dollars per ton this rate would maybe 1588 delivered to bartersville i would be glad to have you advise if you will do you any good and how long it would take to ship 200 tons with best wishes i remain here is very truly jd foreman and company from the utah jazz junk company so basically mr leary was trying to sell some of his ore 200 tons can you imagine shipping that much it's crazy letter [Music] dear friends oh whoa it's a treasure map look at that what he was writing his friends where the oar was signboard by hunter's point road house i feel like this is the start of a whole other video finding a treasure map and an old envelope i feel like movies started that way i gotta read this in more detail plus i don't want you guys stealing my treasure so maybe read this in private that is crazy who's it from it doesn't say well i'm gonna go take a look at that and we'll get back to this little box in a minute because if i have a little treasure map [Music] that'll be okay we'll put this one over here all right guys that's it for today thanks so much for following along you know being part of the adventure hopefully we can uh track down some of these things that i found in that ow elon found in that uh briefcase in the in the general store um and keep you updated with all the projects with the hotel and all the other renovations and you know
