You never know what you’re going to find buried in the California desert. Here's the weird, quirky treasures and trash found at Death Valley National Park.
They say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and that truism translates to 10,000 years’ worth of discoveries at Death Valley National Park . Discarded items — ranging from Victorian era clothing to a mysterious memento left by a “Jim” — await rediscovery, undisturbed, in the California park’s barren deserts or atop its rugged mountains, all of which endure the world’s most extreme weather conditions .
For other sites, opportunistic people were thought to have “borrowed” materials and housing parts from cabins left abandoned just a few years prior. Those very miners left smaller items behind too, like cooking utensils, beer cans and milk containers from as far back as the 1800s at the old campsites. “You can look at it and tell how can technology has changed over time,” Leavitt-Reynolds said.
