I explore deserts and mountains located in the Rocky Mountain West, with an emphasis on the state of Utah. I seek ancient American Indian Dwellings, Petroglyph and Pictograph sites, Spanish Mining Locations and treasure lore, Treasure Cache Sites, Mountain Man/Fur Trapper activities and points of interest, Pioneer Cabins and Homesites.
I practice and preach a method that involves documenting these old sites, while not disturbing or altering anything. Being respectful and mindful of the people who came before us and left these wonderful sites for us to enjoy and appreciate in modern times. Leaving everything intact and undisturbed, so future generations can experience and enjoy these sites in their original conditions.
I incorporate a wide variety of music in my videos, with an emphasis on classical instruments, folk music and/or ethnic music from the old world. As I hike the mountains and deserts, I show footage of beautiful natural scenery and wildlife.

Very interesting! I’m interested in how, when and what the Spanish did in UT. I’d love to see what they left behind
I have seen some gold ore similar to that but didn't find as much visible gold spots on the rock at Kingman, Arizona. Good find!
I love these videos of yours. Such great photography bro. And all the killer stories. Very cool. Thank you.
Have you ever watched any videos of geologist Myron Cook, I watch him and find him very interesting, he goes to locations and specifically explains how rock formations, mountains and how changes in the land have taken place, he seems to be very intelligent you might give him a try, he is on youtube
I love Myron Cook. He's the type of guy I'd love to kick back with, drink some cold ones and shoot the breeze. Very cool guy.
I appreciate actual seeing you narrate but i would really like to see the beautiful scenery you're showing in full screen. Beautiful!
In 2015, I viewed a GIS map of Utah of all known Spanish mining locations. The map including all data collected from each site, along with over a thousand pictures. Inclusive of four large smelters, along with two locations where the Spanish had tied together and marched down into mines about 240 natives, mostly Indians, then blowing the shaft closed on top of them. In every story of found Spanish processed gold, usually the finders find themselves dead soon thereafter. The legends of the lost Rhodes mine, flaming gorge gold, Utah basin Spanish trails, Ute gold, odd that nothing collectively found when tested came from Utah?? The caches known to have been located and tested by metallurgy experts showed bullion, a blend of gold and other minerals mainly copper, and not from any known source in Utah. I’m curious about the Spanish, with as many Spanish sites claimed, why no settlements? No pueblos, no Spanish churches. After following up on 19 Spanish artifact finds, all but one were proven false. The question posed is, mines take years to develope, then processing, then transport, and yet no solid evidence has ever been presented to support any Spanish settlement?
Another awesome video brother! Best channel on the tube! I'd love to see an old Spanish mine someday, it's so cool
Also, as a general rule, don't consult geologists for an explanation, because the field of geolgy is very much interpretive. Worse, most geologists adhere to the "generally accepted" secular theories, which are just explanations, which may or may not valid. I encourage everyone to study all that has been published about precious ores(if you can find the time), but don't be a slave to ANY theory. Gather as much info as you can, and do your own thinking based upon your own unique observations. Truth is this: nobody really knows exactly what is happening underground. All theories are extrapolations of visual artifacts. In the end, it's your due diligence and testing that will make or break you as a prospector. Just my two cents....
To understand the how and why of magma flows read "The Ore Magmas" by Josiah Edward Spurr. It's a two-volume set that details (in intricate detail) of his observations of over 1000 working mines over a two decade time span. He is known as the father of magmatic differentiation/segregation. I guarantee it will answer many of your questions concerning how minerals form, especially gold. It is required reading. P.S. I greatly admire your work. Please keep it coming....
I appreciate the recommendation. Thanks you.
With a high sulfide type copper - gold mine, there should be extensive iron alteration near the portal to use as a guide. Thanks for this video!
Now thats a proper hangin tree !

Thank you for protecting the location of landmark artifacts so they are left for the future to observe.
I have not seen or heard of using an ohm meter, and as such it is not dependable. Besides, everybody crushes a sample then adds hydrogen peroxide, which acts like a catalyst on sulfides causing excessive fizzing. It is a good way to tell if the fine gold is free milling gold (carbonious) or telerum gold (sulfide) in which the gold chemically bonds with gold atoms and is known as sulfide telerum gold, which had the bromide process invented in the 1880's for separating the gold from the telerum. Hydrogen peroxide can free some gold that is mechanically, not chemically, bonded to copper minerals on the surface of copper/gold deposits.
The moon can be a million lumens and more. You cannot land on it. That is not basalt. It's a light..
Thanks! Educational and entertaining... You allow us to touch the past... such a treat...

Great episode man!!!
Heck yea thats awesome very nice ore thanks for sharing heavy pans brother
Good stuff do you dm? I’d like to help create that monument for the old settlement
Outside of this channel I am very private. You can email me. Thanks.
Good stuff buddy love the content and how you explain with common sense thanks
My dad had to big rocks like the one at the start of the video he found while bow hunting in the Uintah mountain
Really great video. Lots of interesting info. Keep em coming.
Very Good Chris, as always Good Info, Research and the 3 P's, Patience, Persistence and Perseverance. Much of what I have found was always in plain sight yet was hidden because people did not know or understood history and was ignorant of Geology. Darrell Lane
Thanks for sharing
Wow, I have never seen the real thing in its natural form. Thank you very much. Best Regards.
👍🏻
Oh wow, that looks so delicious. The outcropping, the striations and the colors. That's definitely a nice deposit.😁👍⛏️⚒️
Thank you.
I'm 46 and I'll be there in that area in 2 months. Great video
Did you know he actually practiced that spin as a defensive move? His body did it out of muscle memory.. 👀 There’s some good breakdowns about it. ✌️
In the late 1800s, someone found a huge amount of quartz in the eastern part of Tennessee. They mined it but it still had small amounts of gold in it.
That's a new marking
Very enjoyable video! Thank you!
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing as you, those symbols are a real treasure, a real destination to search for, to be sure, great historical pictures & thanks for sharing those they're amazing!
Look like he was bonding him w a spear Lil more accurate.
Great video the cabin with no windows and door. I wonder if it was a slavers cabin
Just found your vids. Great content sir. One of my hobbies is 4 wheeling to remote places with my dog to explore the area with a long range FPV drone. I’ll see something interesting from the air and we can go check it out. I’ve seen several mines. I was not aware of the Spanish exploration … pretty cool. I’m in the SLC area and have played in the Unitas a bit. Looks like there are tons of interesting spots to explore. In fact, I think I’ll load up and head out there today. Thanks, keep them coming.
I’m reaching out to meet if you possible
At 1:20-21 there is a white tipped arrow head shaped rock on the middle bottom right. It’s pointing toward something good. It resembles a giant arrowhead.
My grandfather but a trappers cabin in.the Uintas in the 1930s
🔹Release the fears, 🔹Make a habit of being: "Conscious in the Now" + "Apply the Higher Mind" (Where all our Positive Thought Energies and Wisdom reside) 🔹Meduate (quiet the Mund 15 minutes daily) ✓ ☀️... and the Gold will find You! You do this for 30, 60, 90 Days and I guarantee your life experiences will become far more desirabke, and when you Believe and Ficus in the Positive, the Desired ... You will experience the Gold
I think the antler people are the gods of the vikings traviling through time and space using the bifrost?
Appreciate your down-to-earth demeanor and simple easy to understand presentation. Your information sharing is the real gold. Really appreciate the stories, histories and science that combine to paint the whole picture of the treasures of the land.
How is it that Spanish exploreres 300 years ago found gold and had a successful mine, yet mondern prospectors can't find it! That baffles me!
As it should!😂😳🤫 The history we are told may or may not be…a story.
Maybe things have changed in the treasure hunting world, I wouldn't think "I found one but nothings there, my friend found one but haven't looked there yet, and I haven't found this one yet but I will " doesn't count as finding three?😅
Actually, the geology doesn't matter! I know, I can hear the grunts and moans. If any of you have read the extensive work and books by author, Kerry Ross Boren, you would understand that Thomas Rhoades' Mine was a different (gold) deposit altogether. In "Following the Ark of the Covenant", Boren, an archivist for the Church of The Latter Day Saints (LDS or Mormon) and a third cousin of mine, explains exactly how Rhoades and the Mormons came into possession of the gold from this mine. This "deposit" was hidden there by the Aztec Indians of Mexico after the Spanish conquest of Montezuma! Thomas Rhoades knew nothing about geology, but he knew my grandfather, Simeon Morley Allen, who was a missionary for the Mormon church at the time and a founder of Manti, UT. He got to know and befriended the UTE chief. He helped the tribe on numerous occasions when the Spanish tried to learn the secret of the treasure's location. This is a long story that I've studied for quite some time due to my interest in genealogy, geology, history, and factual research. I won't go into details here, since I could write a book. Suffice to say, the geology is correct here. The theory is accurately portrayed. But the gold came from MEXICO! Watch the television series, " The Secret of Blind Frog Ranch". You'll be closer to the truth of this deposit. There is MUCH MORE than just Gold in this deposit! And the Mormons knew it! You see, they were (and still are) extensive in their research. It is the reason why a fledgling religion ( I've studied them as well) grew and became so wealthy in such a short period of time. Do your due diligence and you'll discover that there is more to this story than an iron dike! It's a fascinating story to say the least!
By the way, Kerry Ross Boren and Caleb Rhoades were co authors for many books on the subject. Thanks cousin for the read!
Moon Lake?
Awesome video, thank you!
None of those symbols looks old. They all look modern. Especially the last one. You can n see the dust from where it was recently made
