Massive Nevada mine reveals hidden trove of decaying classic cars and boats

One of the most mysterious and remote collections of abandoned cars in the world is hidden in the desert of Nevada.

The location is known as the Three Kids Mine, an abandoned manganese mine situated a stone’s throw from Las Vegas.

This spot is just about perfect for this collection of abandoned cars and boats.

Chiefly because they were likely stolen.

Like winning the slots in Vegas

The video was shared to YouTube by Remote Troopers, and we’re willing to bet that finding this collection must feel like winning the slots in Vegas.

Three Kids Mine is abandoned, and it has been for a very long time.

They call it that, with a pinch of irony, because the manganese that eventually led to the creation of the mine was discovered by three men who were actually very senior when they found this.

The mine is in Henderson, which is very close to Las Vegas.

So close in fact you can actually see the strip from the mine.

It is the perfect spot if somebody wants to hide cars and boats that were likely stone, which is apparently what happened here.

Nevada is a lot bigger than we think

Nevada is the seventh largest state but it is also the ninth least densely populated.

Translated, it’s a very large state with not a lot of people living in it, and most of it is rocky, desolate, sunbaked desert.

This means it is the perfect state to, how can we put it, ‘hide’ things.

Nevada is famously home to the mythical Area 51 which, as revealed by recently declassified files shared by a historian, has primarily been used as a glorified base for flight testing.

Somebody says there’s a ‘Nuke Town’, but that’s a conversation for another day.

There’s also a ghost town, complete with abandoned cars and even aircraft.
