- In this episode, we are going to look for the lost treasure of the Hansen Brothers Gold Mine, and learn more about the unique mineral resources of Utah’s high Uinta Mountains, and the Secret of the Cambrian Lodore Formation.
There are a number of great resources that I used in this video, especially I want to thank the resources at the Uintah Country Library in Vernal Utah.
Firsthand accounts I found recorded in the following books:

This is such a wonderfully informative and entertaining video, thank you for making this!
Fantastic dude, stellar research! A thrilling watch!
This video is great, really enjoyed the story telling mixed with geology
Amazing research, I can't even find Pat's Hole or Poole Canyon, lol.
Wow, just wow. What a fascinating video! Sad that this it only has some 1300 views. More engaging than 99% of what's on UA-cam.
A good yarn well mixed with science and history. More please.
Enjoyed your story telling, Benjamin - thanks for uploading this video!
I love this video. Some mystery, history, good research, and science. It reminds me of the program my daughter is in at her school. They teach the same topic across her science, history, and literature class. It makes it much more interesting and translates better to a real world experience. I wish college had a similar program available to handle the general education requirements.
dude this was amazing.
I think this is one of my favorite episodes.
You jokingly said it would have taken you 2.5 hours to include all the information...I would have loved to hear the expanded version. 😅
You're back! De-extinction is real! xp
I have a question for you. I’ve been reading through a lot of old journals and I came across a map and a description of a place. I looked it up on Google Earth and it is there. It’s a forgotten ancient Indian structure made of very large stacked stone. The journal was written in the early 19th century and they referred to it as an old Indian Fort. How would I go about recording it and getting credit for it’s discovery? It’s connected to another historical fort that is already popular and gets a lot of visitors every year. It’s on public forest service land.
I would contact the archeologist for the forest service land that its on. They often have a database of sites, which they keep private within the boundaries of the forest land. Contact their office, or stop by. You can search for local office contact numbers via maps using this website: www.fs.fed.us/ivm/index.html
The problem with tales like these is that there is little to no truth to them. Just old cowboy legends told to tourists.
The interesting thing about these stories, is that there is some truth that they are based on. There were 2 skeletons in Pool Canyon, there was a prospector named Pete Madison. But with each retelling, it changed and new false information was added to the story. Thanks for watching...
As I said, LITTLE to no truth. But they do get folks out into the outdoors, so it's all good. :D
