Yeah my next step I plan on taking once I get more comfortable soldering is going to the recycling center and finding junk electronics and fixing those.

Now is it possible for flux to go bad? The stuff I have is about 30 years old.
If I had to guess the cellar was probably in use well before the original home owners built on the land. I'm guessing your in the US because your using imperial, you could try looking up land deeds as this might have been a huge farm that got divided up into multiple different properties. Or if your able to get into contact with the former owners maybe they will have a story tell.
Edit: if your able to find a stamped company name on the bricks or a burned on brand with the wood that could help you narrow it down, also do those nails have a square head or round head?
If those were buried about 5 inches below dirt that has to at least be quite a few decades not being used. I would give it a minimum of 60 years as a rough guess.
Those stairs look quite old. Could be a food storage area like someone else mentioned. And it makes sense because it's well built and hidden well. Probably to keep passers by and animals out.
Well if a kid in a garage can make a partial nuclear reactor... Maybe make an EMP?
Edit: not a true reactor, but he was able to make some parts for it and supposedly got worried about the the amount radioactive material he had and began dismantling it but got caught with radioactive material.
I had something similar and it was about $500, thing was a piece of junk. Could barely cut a stick with a diameter of around 3 inches despite being rated for 6 inches (no it wasn't from a hardwood tree)
I ended up selling it for $250 and felt bad for the person buying it thinking that it will clean there yard up from the severe weather we had a year ago.
Damnit, I stopped distro hopping 2 years ago and settled on fedora. Here I go again
In my family we literally have a refrigerator that has been passed down 2 generations. First it was my grandmothers, then it was my dad's and now it's mine.
The thing is a tank, clean it out and do preventative maintenance every so often and it should live longer then me.
I had a person park in front of my driveway, throw on hazards and disappear for an hour and their battery ended up dying. She ended up walking up to the door and asking for a jump. I declined help and somewhat politely informed her not to park in front of driveways.
Few month later it turns out my neighbor was cheating with this woman.
Ba dum tsss
