A youtube video came out 5 hours ago from someones journey in 2019. You can clearly see a LOT more barrels in it. There's also a helicopter
It's hauling up something big, kind of looks like giant antenna, but that doesn't seem right.
This is apparently a giant metal detector used for looking for possible mining locations!

@xssfox People swing (smaller) metal detectors to search for submarines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_anomaly_detector
