top of an old jug that is so cool this could literally be a bottle of bootlegged moonshine yeah piece of prohibition history right there our discovery has us feeling intoxicated at the thought of what else could be down here and we keep scanning every inch of the tunnel oh i got a good hit over here what yep you do yep what do you got that’s a coin get out of here are you kidding me that is a coin dude unbelievable look at this yeah it’s silver damn right it’s silver look at how clean it is eagle on the back e pluribus unum united states of america this is a half dollar yeah yeah a walking liberty a walking liberty other than being worn though it’s just absolutely incredible the condition it’s in anyone know walking liberty years roughly 1915 1916 until the late 40s so

this thing holy look at the size of the door and look at the size of the hinges yeah this right the cutout this is the kind of thing you put in a door when you’re trying to control access to it you know if you’ve got something in here and you want to control who’s coming through okay here can you pull that oh wow this is crazy also guys what’s the password touch that’s correct [Music] wow it’s huge look at this brick what do you think this is definitely part of the oven or furnace totally right this could have been a chimney or something looks like we got some something boarded up there that might have been vents and they were cooking moonshine in here right oh yeah for sure it looks like it’s bomb proof i was just thinking the same thing i mean look at the thickness

of this concrete it’s insane you wouldn’t get in here no you wouldn’t get in here at all no treasure no moonshine left behind back down the ladder i think so boy it just keeps going and going the maze where lost in was once traveled by dutch and his gang of bootleggers as they distilled hooch and moved it secretly beneath the farm to who knows where but that’s not to say they didn’t leave anything behind oh oh i got i got something good here you do yep get out of here are you kidding me it’s like a pocket pocket watch really this is insane come here look at this this is crazy you got to be kidding me look at this oh my god look at that crazy and it says west clock dax like like think like there’s guys going through there with this stuff on

their bodies like this is period it’s definitely another piece to the puzzle of of what’s going on here in this tuttle system incredible look at that like have you noticed like the farther we get deeper the better the fines are it’s incredible absolutely so let’s keep going we continue down the tunnel and there’s a lot of continuing to go they may have chiropractors in this town okay oh oh guys just found another huge tunnel it goes as far as the eye can see i’m not kidding this is starting to get crazy look at this oh wow insane right how’s that possible look at it look at that i don’t even feel like i’m in new york anymore no gosh no we’re in the pyramids now i mean it’s sloping uphill what do you think you go that way and steve and i will go this way and then we’ll meet you up top

you’re less excited about going on the uphill tunnel well i know travel’s downhill [Applause] is that someone’s got to go up there what do you think split up rock paper scissors odd man oh it’s one two three shoot one two three shoot oh that’s a tough break ryan i never win okay good luck yeah all right like all right i’ll let you know be safe here we go that’s for us back into the darkness steve here we go let’s go [Music] oh hold on look at this what the hell is this oh dude do you see this yeah well is that a room what is a whole room oh my god what is that i don’t know what it is man a raccoon maybe whoa my concern is that this whole floor here looks like it’s about to give way above us it’s given way totally i mean it’s

just being held up by the debris now so i don’t know what the hell this is i think we should stick to this concrete wall yeah for sure and just try to hug the corner and i wouldn’t touch any of this it looks like it’s all gonna fall this is crazy holy hell i think we’re in a house this is outdoors we lost the light it’s dark out that’s a tree god this this place just never ends it’s crazy there’s a trunk in here there’s a trunk yeah look at that it’s amazing dude look at this there is literally a trunk in here you can’t i mean i can’t even step there because i’ll go right into that basement yeah you can see look at the floor you got to be careful [Music] anything just spider webs i think this house is as old as the distillery obviously it is

the tunnels come into it but it must have been remodeled over time and somebody must have been living in it until eventually it was abandoned originally i bet you this was part of that whole labyrinth there was a whole reason this place was here for sure right let’s get out of here before this whole thing collapses [Music] this is a house dude this is a house look at this it’s like a huge overgrown house the fact that a tunnel is going to the basement this must have been a secret escape escape or a secret place to move booze in and out like this was part of the operation illegally moving stuff i mean it must have been had to be right yeah but where where are we in reference to the distillery no idea are we near it so there it is so there’s the distillery

right there that is crazy so we went all the way under this the whole way all the way to here under the road all the way here yep hey josh did you copy go for josh what’s up yeah i’ve got on the outside of the tunnel here it actually comes out of the side of the distillery you’re not gonna believe this we punched out into the basement of a house there’s an old house on the edge of the property we came out in there and we literally just walked out the front door so we’re gonna make our way back toward the distillery break open the moonshine for us will you please sounds like a plan let’s go drink come on gay man that’s incredible amazing you
