there's no power here there's no water here like no service we're all like on our own nothing nowhere we're gonna go and some horrifying minds underneath these mountains oh treasure hunting time let's find that silver baby what's up guys it's sarah corbin welcome to season three once again welcome to season three we are so so so excited to show you guys what we have in store before we get started we've got to make sure that you guys are subscribed because hey it's free and you can always unsubscribe later if you don't want to watch our videos but trust me you're not going to want to miss this series and also leave a like right now let's see if we can get the most likes on this video that we've ever had i think season two we got over 200 000 so for season three 300 300 000. so you guys might be wondering what season three samuel colby is all about and uh we had a call with a friend a couple weeks ago so check this out how do you guys feel about treasure treasure hunting that'd be like super different there's this ghost town called cerro bordeaux and it's actually the ruins of this old silver mining town and the rumors that there was a steam ship that was full of silver and it said it's lake and now the lake is dry and there are also rumors that there's like silver still left in the hill that'd be super cool but would it be legal like the whole town was like just straight up by this guy so we just contact this guy like and he gives us permission we could do this [Music] treasure hunting as opposed to like just the abandoned exploration stuff yeah i don't even know if i want to like do that sounds impractical like how are we actually going to find the silver he was talking about we don't have any tools nothing i was gonna say i'm just scared that like this video is not gonna turn out like we're not gonna like so i'm saying how is this like like entertaining at all like going and digging dirt for four hours like if unless we find something but like the chances of was actually finding something i feel like other people are well versed in treasure hunting better than us so so do you guys remember when i was talking to you about the ghost town with the treasure wait i speak a lot louder do you guys remember yeah do you guys remember about the ghost town i was talking to you about about the buried treasure yeah i found the guy that owns it his name is brent underwood and we have a zoom call with him in five minutes ten million dollars worth of silver buried underneath this town somewhere crazy 500 million 500 wait wait wait what wouldn't technically be his though yeah it's his but he's invited us down and that's why we're talking right now what happens if we find it what's the split what does he get that's what we ask him to knock him out and then we take it let's try to find out what this treasure's all about and see if we can find it anyway yo thank you so much for getting a call with us um so the town is called sierra gorda right saragordo yes sarah gordon hill silver in it i guess back in the day silver yeah can you tell us a little bit about that we know a little bit but hearing it from you would be best i mean the town was kind of established in 1865 by about 1880 it was the number one producer of silver from california they pulled something like 500 million dollars with the silver out of the mountain oh my god it was a boom town cerro gordo had four thousand residents and they demanded a lot of supplies and stuff and they needed a port city to support it and la was the closest port city and at that time l.a only had six thousand residents oh my god the demand of sarah gordo this kind of sleepy little town a lot of people forgot about is like the reason that ella is where it is when i was doing research there was a story about molly stevens or like a shipwreck right below cerro gordo there used to be a huge lake called lake owens the silver would get mined up at cerro gordo shipped across on steam ships that gets brought into la one of those steam ships went down and the legend is is that it went down with a significant amount of silver on it and now that lake is dry so i've never heard of serogoto ask anybody in the street at la i bet none of them know about cereal no not at all like it was a western town law enforcement wanted to come up here there was like a murder a week there's a graveyard on this site whoa whoa whoa you said there is a murder every single week yeah at least the miners because it was so dangerous here they're lined their bunk beds with sandbags to stop the stray bullets so every building think if you weren't dying above ground from the gun fights 30 miles of mine underneath the town the mines would collapse so there's really infamous collapses that trapped 30 miners where they never made it out yeah i mean nobody's really inhabited the town in over 100 years everybody came in made their money and kind of got out so i came up here in march to fill in his caretaker you're alone up there right now yeah just kind of hanging out [Music] i saw that you you were telling a story about this girl that you saw in like the curtains like her face yeah so almost every building here has its own history right the town is a whole industry but each building has it and if you walk up one of the peaks there's a beautiful sunset and how you get there is you pass by a house called the bunk house and i was walking up one night to go watch the sunset and i saw somebody open and close the curtain and the light was on in the kitchen i turned off the light i put a padlock on it and again i'm the only one up here so i know i wanted to keep the padlock and the next night as i was going back up there the light was back on in the kitchen i don't go into the bunkhouse now i'm like you know what there's 22 buildings here they can have their space i'll have my space so i'll just leave it alone but i think we might be sleeping there we'll put you all yeah we're gonna wait wait wait what i'm joking we've read a few things saying that there have there might still be a lost vein of silver there in sierra gordo yeah i think there's still a lot of silver around you know there's 30 miles of mines here um i've been diving into some of them have you ever tried to metal detect or you know find stuff down there if you guys can find it hey it might be your first stop i don't know that might be look what i got look what came in the mail are these the metal detectors we're gonna get some treasure [Music] and as of tomorrow morning we go in search of the silver we gonna find some silver we gonna find a hundred million dollars worth of actually we're gonna quit youtube if we find it because that's 500 million dollars here's the season three let's go boys [Music] would you guys like to do a little climbing adventure run jake run run run all the way up there oh my god that's not the way you go how did he do that it's so hot out this sucks i get it hey shoo shoo wow dude you're killing it today man you're on point hey you rock man oh my god i gotta go home now this is the first time i've been hiking since i broke my back so if i fall down i'm gonna end the trip early oh how are we going all the way up dog why do we make them do this again there's no reason we're doing this this is it this is what we worked so hard on it's cool [Music] now that there's no turning back we're already here what do you guys actually think about this trip i'm trying to find some silver trying to find some silver i'm trying to you know scratch-offs haven't done it for me growing up i think treasure hunting is the way to go you know you guys put us through a lot of stuff i'm not really surprised what this trip holds oh the only thing that kind of scares me is why does this guy live up in the mountains alone for months at a time that's what i was saying he said there's what like wildlife around there it's haunted and he said he's been living there for three months what does he do every single day don't you have to be kind of like a little bit strange to just like want to live in that town by yourself he bought it right yeah so he's not being paid to stay there i mean man if you think about it it's pretty easy he's probably a shape-shifter mondays he's a human tuesday he's a mountain goat so what do we do if we find a mountain goat in the middle of the mine sacrifice it to satan and we ask our one wish to be to get silver maybe we're getting to a point right now where we're trusting people way too much we don't even know this guy and he's he's a dude that's spent his life savings on a ghost town and lives there by himself at the end of the day it is four on one so if he tries anything we got him if we find the gold or find the treasure we also got them right yeah we already go down on each other yo can we make a pact right now if we find the silver we go down we go down where to now long time yeah this is our last stop between here and lone pine which is the final town before sierra gordo is right on top of owens lake which is where the molly stevens shipwreck occurred which legend has it underneath the shipwreck millions of dollars worth of silver you know you can't just like just like in minecraft man when you're mining you don't know if you missed a diamond minecraft in real life that's gonna be our title for you oh my god found our first treasure we found a random backpack and we forced colby to turn around treasure treasure treasure treasure wait oh what oh there's a trash bag one man's trash is another man's church [Music] oh my god is this it we're in the mojave desert guys something's poking me something my god holy [ __ ] did that just come out of you brother it did i don't know how i didn't see that man we are actually in this ghost town called keeler which on the other side is owens lake which is the lake that the molly stevens shipwreck occurred and a ton of silver was passed back and forth on this lake so we're gonna go see what we can find maybe we'll find i'm sorry sorry sorry as soon as we cross this we're quote unquote again for the first time yeah there's do you see that the guy yeah where's he going where is he let's just walk normal now that's not calm all the way to the middle of the lake yeah right that's where it's going to be go guys i don't have much time watch out for rattlesnakes oh my god what what oh we're literally walking on another planet right now oh you got something okay we got something so nothing not this time we're in the middle of a giant place millions of dollars of silver it sounds ridiculous but i'm having a lot of fun yeah anymore only when it hits the ground you guys find anything what is it a giant piece of metal hey we found the treasure it's silver what's that we found metal we found what is this attractor [Music] i have no idea is this are we like trespassing right now ah kind of oh it's it's government property it's not like personal property remember last time i have over on government property oh [ __ ] that's worse actually [ __ ] [ __ ] oh [ __ ] oh [ __ ] that guy earlier he has his phone out over there it happens every time oh now we're getting formed by everything oh that was so stressful it was horrible holy holy [ __ ] because we just ran from rattlesnakes ran from people calling cops possibly speak your hand ran through a bunch of mosquitoes and bees and hornets or whatever the hell those were let's get out of here fast first of all yeah can you introduce yourself for the camera my name is chris langley i've lived in lone pine where we're at now for i think 46 or 47 years i love the history here it's a scrapple kind of life here it's always been a struggle the indians came here first and then the ranchers when they when they started discovering gold and silver and then that began the indian war it was pretty vicious on both sides but there was actually a trail of tears to escape the ranchers they went into the lake then a big storm came up and they were afraid they were going to drown so as they came out the ranchers just sat there and shot them one at a time they were mining and melting off the oars so they were so fast that they had walls you could actually live in them until they ship them down and so much silver yeah oh my gosh but as of right now cerro gordo is abandoned right do you know why it got like abandoned really uh well mining is depending on having the ore and so the ore basically ran out there was a legend that i think i came across where i said there is still a lost vein of silver out there do you believe that there's still silver up in cerro gordo well there's always a possibility right that's a good mindset right there guys here we go all right so we're driving right now through the indian reservations all around us literally white people came to these indian reservations and killed them all because they only had both bow and arrows while we had guns um solely because this is a big mining town like we've been talking about and they came here and killed them solely because of all the silver and gold just buried around here and like look around like the mountains and stuff like all of those mountains have these veins of silver ore that we literally just came here and took it's horrible so plan is sun's about to go um under those mountains and when that happens it's bad because that means we don't have any light and sarah gordo is at the top of those mountains he said it's extremely dangerous if we don't go up before sundown and definitely try to get up here before nightfall because going up that road at night is not a fun activity a guy came up in too wide of truck and it slipped off the road and the only thing that caught him from tumbling thousands feet down was a tree so you got caught by a tree so we are running low on time we're gonna have to hurry up but let's pray that i don't die on these hills guys oh yeah you don't die you have all of our lives in danger too buddy it is 40 minutes to sarah border meeting we're getting there at 8 30. we might not make it you guys can't go at night man are we gonna risk our lives we have to hey robert this is sam from sam colby i was just wondering if you still had a few minutes to talk about sarah gordo and all that stuff absolutely i came up there in 1997 to see if i could do some mining up there in 1877 they lost the vein they blasted into the drift cleaned it out and the vein was no longer visible the main miners and owners stayed up two and three years till 1879 searching for that vein and they never found it they never found it oh my god we're in the mountains it's starting to get a little bumpy look at that freaking cliff right next to it the scariest part is that colby's driving he's got our lives in his hands right now a lot of the stuff that we've been doing the last couple years has to do with the paranormal and like bleeding have you seen anything paranormal or ghostly living up there alone absolutely and the worst part of it is the young man was up there from alaska visiting with me and we were in the kitchen of the hotel and a ghostly operation walked right by us and then there's been other times when people had to use their camera in the hotel or their camera it wouldn't work yeah thank you so much it sounds like an amazing place to stay and we're gonna have a really good time um we're gonna try to find some treasure or some ghosts while we're there guys this means we can't come back down the mountain for two full days and check your phones we don't have service anymore are you sure this isn't death valley because i feel like i'm gonna die oh no this is where we need to chill out oh my god [Music] so if something happens to us tonight it's gonna take so long to escape done that's it we might have made it this is it yeah oh my god finally yes look look look oh my god here we go sierra gordo rent ghost town [Music] there's no power here there's no water here like no service we are like on our own nothing nowhere we're gonna go and some horrifying minds underneath these mountains oh treasure hunting time let's find that silver baby season three sam and colby we're supposed to become treasure hunters and we still end up doing haunted [ __ ]
