    When looking for quartz or skarn at an old mine site, check the tailings pile nearby. The mine might be filled in with rubble from above the mine so they didn’t have to carry it uphill, but the tailings will be below.

    It’s painful watching your explanation…the black rock you think is basalt is a sulfide of copper called chalcocite, the green is malachite (copper carbonates) the gold color is chalcopyrite…very common copper ore complexes. You don’t use continuity as a test for gold, you send it out and have it fire assayed, you can do it yourself for less than $1000.

    The first symbol on the tree is Egyptian. I found a site like this as well halfway up a mountain buried in debris from what appears to be a giant tsunami ( as there were crab legs, and shells coating only the ocean facing side of the mountain. are you 100% that these are Spanish symbols? I was thinking it could be pre flood civilization but that probably doesn’t make sense with the trees .

    • @LowBudgetExploration

      They prospected around, same as the Americans, French, Germans and etc, who came afterword's. They were not superior prospectors by any means, in fact I personally believe the Americans were way better at finding gold. They had the benefit of being first and access to all the easy stuff and this is why they were so successful. Another method was bribery of the local Indians. They would trade beads, arrowheads and other trinkets to the Indians for information on where the mineral outcroppings could be found. They came to the Uinta Mountains after the Escalante and Dominguez Expedition. They were gone prior to the arrival of the Fur Traders. I've found no historical evidence to suggest otherwise.

    Gold in Basalt rock is rare, due to basalts fine grain. Gold is usually found in adjacent rock such as quartz. That said some highly fractured basalt does contain intrusive metal minerialization. My bet is there is a nearby quartz vein (consistant with Rhoades own reporting ) that is the main source of the gold.

    Love your video's I am a part time prospector and Miner You're intro or heading said Tricks of the Trade! But what you filmed are obvious things you would do! I'm not being rude but you have to know the areas you, I or anyone else knows you have to spend time researching where past mining has taken place. I honestly know how I find old mines or workings of a mine or mines are! But I have taken a very early retirement to concentrate my efforts to claim an old mine or just find a good location to stake a claim. I'm sure you know you don't just go wondering around the mountains without some research to see old mining activity or being told about mining area's. I found one up Rhoads canyon and the Blind stream area.I went down 1 but the other one has a wood door covering it with old thick leather straps used as hinges. I was hunting and didn't have my gear to go down into it. Love your video's even though I just found your channel, God Bless

    The Forest Service doesn't care if they can't drive there. I told them about an Important Paleoindian Site in the Uinta's in 2015, mapped it out for them, illustrated the artifacts and gave them a copy. Nine years later they had still not bothered to get photo's, said they didn't have the time. Nine years! There is a rhyolite dike in the Eastern Uinta that was purposefully left off of the maps, a clear violation of environmental review and the 1972 mining law, in favor of making the area a Wilderness. Not to mention that it was originally Ute Reservation before being confiscated as Forest Land.
