Abandoned Conveyor Belt on Nelson Island

On Nelson Island, right beside Genni Bay is an abandoned gravel quarry. I recently spent some time on the island, staying at my families property called SunRay.
I desperately wanted to find old rusty trucks and machines on the site...but there were none. Everything has been stripped out, except for the conveyor system and what look like crusher assemblies on the upper property.

Here's a video of me exploring the old conveyor system.








Not sure what this structure is...maybe a frame for a rock crusher

Another large steel structure about 75 yards from the other one...on the upper plateau


This pile of blast rock is about 50 feet tall...and the boulders are 5-6 feet across.

The overgrown road from the beach to the upper section

Grassy field on the upper property




Excellent barge landing for when one of you goes in to get the scrap iron

  5. I've looked all over for more information on the history of this gravel pit and have found nothing. It's a favorite spot of mine to go explore.
