Early Nevada prospectors risked it all trying to tame the big empty.
00:12
Oh, Jesus Christmas, it's dynamite!
00:15
150 years later, things aren't that different.
00:17
This is it, man.
00:18
This is where you go if you're in big trouble.
00:20
Scott and I are heading to the part of the state where nobody ever goes.
00:23
Look at this bad boy, dude!
00:24
But where nobody goes, I see potential.
00:29
That's going to cost you some money.
00:31
Oh, man, I'm in heaven.
00:32
Got to love Nevada.
00:34
I feel lucky out here.
00:36
I'm Brady.
00:37
$9,325 selling some old treasures.
00:40
I make a heck of a living tracking down the treasures of the Old Wild West.
00:45
My trail partner, Scott Glaze, is an antique guns expert.
00:51
We've taken cowboy history and have built it into a business, buying and reselling to
00:57
avid collectors.
00:58
500 bucks a pair.
00:59
Fine.
01:00
Our hunting grounds are run-down ranches and abandoned mines.
01:03
And our prize, ghost town gold.
01:11
It's thanks to these hills that Nevada is known as the Silver State.
01:14
With one mining rush after another, countless Nevadans stake their lives on these lonely
01:18
valleys, leading them to a better life.
01:20
But living out here is hard, and the house usually wins.
01:27
Scott and I are following in their footsteps and looking for our own unpicked gold mines.
01:32
I think this is it, man.
01:33
It's a rough pass, but I think, you know, it's a typical Brady Shortcut.
01:39
We're heading to a tiny mining camp up in the Tyobe Mountains that's too small to even
01:43
name.
01:44
It's a hard scrub of life that not many people are up for.
01:47
150 years ago, these valleys were crisscrossed by the Pony Express, a job so dangerous that
01:53
only orphaned teenagers were encouraged to apply.
01:58
But it was a gamble that paid out.
01:59
Riders made a year's salary with just a few weeks of work, running mail across the Big
02:02
Empty between Missouri and California in just over a week.
02:07
There was nothing here back then either, but Third Grit paved the way for mining camps
02:10
like this one just down the road.
02:13
Well, look, check this out.
02:17
Ooh, hey, there's some old buildings right here.
02:20
I like the looks of that place, actually.
02:22
To the untrained eye, these old garages and sheds look like they went up just 20 or 30
02:26
years ago.
02:27
But this mining camp has been inhabited since just after the Pony Express.
02:31
We're just going to pop in and see who we meet.
02:35
Whenever I see old galvanized tin buildings, old stuff like this, my car just naturally
02:40
pulls over.
02:41
All my instincts are popping.
02:51
There's some cement poodles.
02:53
I actually sell the heck out of those things.
02:55
Oh, there's people.
02:56
Hey!
02:57
Hello!
02:58
When we go introduce ourself, they're a little bit cautious, but that's completely understandable.
03:03
Hey, how's it going, guys?
03:05
I have no idea who this guy is.
03:07
None whatsoever.
03:09
We didn't know if you had anything that might be for sale.
03:11
Are you guys into the dust-buying business?
03:14
We're kind of rolling the dice when we go talk to Jack in Virginia.
03:17
This is a complete cold contact.
03:19
First impressions can last a long time.
03:22
Asking folks about their family history is a great way to make them feel at ease.
03:26
So your parents had this place.
03:27
What did they do for a living?
03:29
They had the mail, StarRoute mail carriers.
03:32
They delivered mail six days a week.
03:34
No kidding.
03:35
On Saturdays.
03:37
First there was the Pony Express, then came the StarRoute.
03:40
For more than a century, these guys went where the post office couldn't hack it, braving
03:44
blizzards and floods to get the mail out to the loneliest stretches of the West.
03:49
Even in the 40s, Virginia's dad was still pulling 1,000 miles a week out here,
03:53
saving everything he owned behind these doors.
03:55
And when I notice the locks, I start seeing dollar signs.
04:00
I see some great things right off the bat.
04:02
I see an old trap hanging along the wall.
04:06
Oh, my.
04:07
Look at this box here, Scott. That's a pretty cool box.
04:11
I immediately see an old Berman bird bit in there.
04:15
They call this a bird bit because it looks like there's a little bird head right in here.
04:18
A little bit fancy.
