These people have not done there homework. The trees that have been carved are soft wood. The trees will rot to nothing in a few years. The attention to detail is all important for a good scam.
There's nothing factual about the comments made about the Mormon Church's involvement here. And some of the people here making comments concerning the Mormon Church really need to get an education before spouting off. The involvement of the Rhoades family in this area was not the original Rhoades mine family members, Thomas and Caleb. It was Gale Roades, as shown on video view of the claim records. Gale Rhoades was a descendant of Thomas Rhoades and Gale just died a few years ago. I've hiked all over this area many years ago and read stories of a lost mine in the area. The mine that this TV series usually shows is one of the water mines south of the BFRanch, just off Reservation Road. They show many things that are supposedly on the ranch property but are really many miles from the ranch. There may be a rich gold mine somewhere on or near their ranch but they will never find it. There's an area on a ridgetop above the head of Crow Creek that appears to have collapsed into a subsurface opening of some sort. Could that have been where a mine was?
The state was covered in mining claims. This one was most likely silver. If they find a gold mine/deposit, it’s probably been exhausted of all gold. Else it would still be operational.
Come on guy's do your research! For a Discovery channel show you could do better... The two arrows on the tree are the mark of a man named Shirl Atwood, known as "Bobcat" the S at the top is for Shirl and the A at the bottom of the crossed arrows is for Atwood. The two eyes on either side and the whiskers on either side make the "Catface" symbol. Which can be read as Shirl Atwood was here... And these trees are probably about 60 years old...
Gold potential? Sounds like those 'gold' plates in the book of mormon that later became 'gold colored' plates, because Smith didn't have any real gold to make his plates with, but tin was pretty common back then for plates, cups, stove pipes, etc.
@@Kalenwilliams1393 Amazing how Moroni describes 'gold' plates in the Book of Mormon. Amazing how Joe Smith was able to run 3 miles through the woods, at night, fighting off 3 attackers, while carrying 200 lbs. of gold plates. Amazing how when someone challenged how he managed to do all that while carrying 200 lbs of gold, suddenly the 'gold' plates became 'gold colored' plates that weight about 47 lbs instead. Are we to believe Mormon and Moroni didn't know what gold was? Tin was readily available in Joe Smith's time and he had several years to hammer out some tin with scribbles on them. As far as the witnesses go, most of them hefted something in a box or covered with a cloth and never actually saw the plates.
i wonder if there is going to be season 4 at the blind frog ranch? There should be! Thanks for everything Blind Frog Ranch ps our government sucks and lies! TRUMP 2024 probaly wont tell us shit about whats out ther? either
Guessing you can't quote any of those geologists that allegedly said, "there's nothing there". None of that shiny rubbish you showed is remotely gold. I'm a geologist - this makes the Oak Island crap look credible 🙄
That's not a Spanish symbol it's a "i was here marker" called Cat Face from a man that was called Cat man. The S between the arrows is the 1st letter of his last name! From the 60's
True, and I have seen Ted Bundy Was Here carved on quacky trees all over Skyline Drive. Half of them were carved on trees from the 1980's Siezmograph Crews that I worked on when Ted Bundy was given the electric chair

You dorks! That quaking aspen is less than 40 years old. Yes they get old but CERTAINLY NOT 8” in diameter lol! WAFJ!
1855 that's about 170 years ago, white birch trees don't live that long !!!
I was thinking the same thing 😮
Those are aspen trees, not white birch
Whatever tree they are, that mark is not old.
Aspen trees is what they are. They have been known to live 200yrs.
still only 40-150 years for an aspen tree, that tree isn't 150 years old either.@@kayekartch

1 min in it, and I paused to say the same thing...

30 year old tree marking. WOW. Treasure
Trees grow slower in high elevation and poor soil conditions

There is gold in that area I found a 2 ounce nugget 5 years ago when I was Elk hunting near there on a old trail
Let's see the nugget. Pin location
Yeb, it's no way, Jose..
They were warned not to be greedy,it's protected .
That opening they showed at the beginning is one mile north of the Josephine mine at HOYT PEAK. Disgusting.
Carvings that old would have been a lot Higher than eye level. I think that's been Recarved!¡!
The tree is 30 at the most, it is literally impossible for that tree to be any older
You do know the living Aztecs are called Mohawk?

Wrong State bud. Joseph Smith was in New York. This mine would have been for Gold in Salt Lake with Brigham Young.
@@Kalenwilliams1393 I realize that and was referring to the mystical gold plates that never were like the 'potential' gold mine.
The “fake”plates that over 22 people claimed to have seen in person and even some handled them with their own hands?

Don’t argue with “stupid” kwillie,,,,! Or try to fix it,,,,
Discovery is now a psy ops for identifying dummies cos its a main channel and theres no way to hide that😂
No IPN😂
Looks like all trees have been cut grasping for hope
The trees are much younger
What's up with that?
Just more fakery brought to us all by the clowns at BFR.
That carving is only 20 -40 years old. Carved in plenty of trees plus its too small to be older
There are mines from dry fork to Rock creek . I know i live here....
One time at band camp
Some of the mines could be on Indian land
LOL! Thats an aspen that r poplar tree, which is a fast growing softwood tree. That carving is 20 years max!
i wonder if there is going to be season 4 at the blind frog ranch? There should be! Thanks for everything Blind Frog Ranch ps our government sucks and lies! TRUMP 2024 probaly wont tell us shit about whats out ther? either
How did those rock tops now erode within the last 170 years
The symbol on that tree isnt more than 10 year old
.
What? Theres so much weird with this. First off all Utah is know for gold and silver mines.
Second those are aspens and theyre probably 20 years old.
So the tree is what... Four...yrs old....
Come on the tree with the arrows is at most twenty five years old, do they think we are idiots

It's fake there's nothing going on
That tree is a little nothing real
Fake as hell
😂 yep

C'mon guys that tree is about 30 years old.stop it.
