- This video discuses the historical background of Spanish Exploration and Gold and Silver Mining in the State of Colorado.
This video discuses historical examples of groups of people using Cache Sites. These people include American Indians, Mountain Men (Fur Trappers), Wild West Outlaws and Spanish Explorers,
Treasure Hunters and Prospectors.
This video shows old Spanish Treasure symbols carved on rock and the author of the video teaches the audience how to decipher these Treasure Signs and Symbols.
This video show an old Spanish Cache Site (hiding place), where Spanish Prospectors/Explorers had hid gold and other valuables.
This video shows the Geology of how Sedimentary Sandstone Rock is formed and deposited. The minerals Iron Oxide, Hematite, Calcite, Basalt and Silica are discussed. Natural weathering and erosion of rock is also discussed in this video and examples of weathering is discussed.
The Spanish Trail went from Santa Fee, NM to LaPlata Canyon that is between Durango and Mancos Colorado. The reason was the gold and silver deposits in the LaPlata Mountain Range. On the highway there is a roadside plaque explaining how Father Escalante used the Spanish Trail through this area. It is documented that the old timer miners in the late 1800's were finding many old Spanish Mines in and around LaPlata Canyon. There were a hundred old mines with a few of them documented as the first hundred feet of mining was loaded with free milling gold that had 5 to over fifty ounces of gold. The only problem was sometimes there was only 5 tons of high grade gold ore. One mine did produce hundreds of tons of surface carbonaceous free milling gold ore. This is kinda like the high grade gold of the Uintas, with low tonnage high grade gold ore, with one exception which is the Moon Lake Area, where there is a future Deadwood South Dakota type gold mine.
Another great video. Thanks for all your hard work and taking us along with you
The Spanish found LaPlata Canyon fist, then prospected with finding gold mines following the LaPlata Mountain Range north to Rico/Silverton/Telleride. This has been documented in USGS geological studies from the late 1880s to the late 1930s when there were only a few larger gold mines still in operation. The Spanish used Spanish Needles to dowse all the gold they mined. I hope this is of some help as I have been prospecting the LaPlata gold deposits for 25 years with reading all of the pertaining USGS and old mine reports.
Fascinating account. Any areas where an ol timer could catch some trout away from people?
I grew up in Colorado 2 1/2 miles from New Mexico . I have seen many of the symbols you show in more than a few places, I never disturbed any of it because it was considered sacred. ground . and we were taught to leave it how we found it I sure enjoy your streams and Am surprised about the knowledge you have on this subject Thanks for sharing it with us, I hope to go back and visit someday, it sure is harder to do when your over 65 years old
We need you to make at least 2 videos a week. Please and thank you 😂
I am not aware of an Entrada from 1594. I am familiar with the 2 from 1765 by Juan Antonio María de Rivera prior to the Dominguez Escalante journey in 1776. I'd like to read the 1594 journey. Where can i find that? If you would like a copy of the 1765 journey i can put it on a jump drive and send it to you.
You can find a reference to it in the Colorado Encyclopedia website: 1594-1596 Juan de Humana and Francisco Leyva de Bonilla explore New Mexico and Colorado as far as the Purgatoire River.
Hope that helps.
Very nicely done as usual. It makes me wish for a little youth to get my old bones out to explore some more. Thanks. Your videos bring back fond memories of chasing rainbows.
Fascinating. One of your best vids to date! Outstanding 👍
My grandfather always told us kids about the mines in and around the Spanish Peaks. He was interviewed by Carl Achers (channel 9 news) back in the 70s. Carl Achers was big on researching the lost Spanish gold around the Spanish Peaks.
I very much enjoy your works. The video Sacred Place is, I consider, outstanding !.... It should be award winning... Thanks
Fascinating. Big thanks for putting this together.
enjoyed that ... thanks from the uk
,,,,tnx,,for this,,,..I lived in CO,,for 3 years,,,every weekend spent hiking,,Pueblo was as far south,,golden,as far north,I concentrated around Sedalia,devils head,,rampart range most,,..found wagon wheel tracks in sandstone north of D.H.,,,(Jessie James hideout,firetower),,..if you have not visited this,must do,,..Pikes Peak view is spectacular,.......,,,found small amounts gold in creeks in area,...,,,this spot your in is very similar,,..rock,veg,,,.....,,tnx,,..good luck,,,rock,on,...pat&family,,,land o' lakes,wi.
I'm 46 and I'll be there in that area in 2 months. Great video
Alsome history thanks again for sharing realy enjoy your videos
Very good presentation. Thanks.
Thanks for this. I live between Hesperus and Red Mesa and have explored the La Platta area without much luck. Beautiful area though.
Really like these videos. I just bought the book you recommended in a previous video - Early Spanish Treasure Signs & Symbols.
I live in Mexico & metal detect around where I live - I have a TH-cam channel - Finding Memo @mwcooke8441 - I find Spanish coins quite often. The other day I came across a stone with some signs on it too, so hopefully I can find some caches. 😊
I looked up your channel and subscribed. Look forward to watching your videos and best of luck.
@@LowBudgetExploration Thanks for the subscribe. I’m about 3 videos ahead on filming, so the video with the stone in it will be in 3 weeks. Love to know what you think of it. Keep doing the great work / videos. 👍
This is the best site on TH-cam. I love all the history and being able to go on adventures with you. Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed your video and the knowledge that went with it I live in Montana but have spent many years in Colorado funny I am 68 now and can’t quite get out like I used to but I have picked up the hobby of metal detecting,amazing the things you find in the ground that have been there for a very long time ! Thanks for the time you put into your video!
Sir your video where you were looking at petroglyphs and said we are the Zoo. That really hit home. Great vids and Thanks Sir!
Your very welcome and thanks for the compliment. The video you reference is called "Ancient Portals". I would love to go back in time and see what they saw and were trying to record.
Italian Americans sometimes ask st Anthony for help finding lost things. Funny:)
How close to the base of the east peak of the Spanish peaks are you?
Found your channel this afternoon, have subscribedand enjoyed your comments/information on the history of the area. Over the past forty + years I have visited Colorado quite a number of times: mid-March, mid-summer & mid-autumn. I've family in greater Denver & the Colorado Springs area. Have not done any rockhounding, but two years ago was in CO for combo family reunion/vacation & was able to see at an Indian museum, a re-created Indian sandstone pueblo, among other things. Colorado is such a beautiful state!
It is very beautiful! I'm very fond of the Western Part of the state, but all of it is amazing (not the Eastern Part, LOL).
This is awesome!!!
Thank you, very interesting and entertaining.
Thanks for an exciting, historical video.
The Triangle represents branding of cattle and sheep with the reversed J being the brand, plus the weathering on the carvings do not look hundreds of years old, but then again I have not seen it in person to make that judgement, but I do know the triangle represents branding to cowboys with the brand similar to the type of branding style used. Maybe it is Spanish. The only way to find out is researching all of the brands used in the area you are looking. If there is no brand of that type, then it probably is Spanish, but if there is a reversed J brand it would logically lead to being a cowboy marking his grazing area with showing his brand for telling everyone to leave the cattle alone in that area. I have seen the triangle with the brand below it at different locations in rural Utah.
Very informative. Thanks for the video. 👍
I thought I found a cache site once. I was dry panning a few miles away from hwy50 in a dry creek bed in the Cottonwood area of Bighorn Sheep Canyon , Colorado. It was not a key or marker or anything. It was a marker tree pointing to a cave up on the canyon wall. 4 hours later I discovered there’s no cave. Just shadows. 🤷♂️
2:06 getting older requires more self care and maintenance to keep the human body able and limber
((better diet, stretching or yoga classes, walking or cycling and micro nutrients and proper hydration))
For the uninitiated you might want to distinguish between the words CACHE and CASH. It took several minutes for me to determine exactly what you were talking about, and closed captioning invariably uses the wrong spelling.
I didn't even consider that, mental note made for next time.
Got my 1800s gold in quartz ring and watch fob made into necklace on. Got em outta the safe to watch your great vids!
You live in an awesome country. Greetings from the Emerald isle. Love your films and stories.
Superb video. Thank you.
WOW!!! Great video!!!! I'm glad i found your channel!! Thank You!!!!
As always, Very, Very Good !
There are 1000's of spanish markings and mines in utah, my parents took me to the sign post of the desert, a big sandstone rock, signed by Spaniards, the earliest date was 1545 i think up to 1760, I think we were in n.m. possibly a.z
That would be awesome to see. Hopefully no one has messed it up with graffiti. Thanks for sharing.
Where I lived in Victoria OZ some prospectors came upon a bend in a river where a rock jutted out into the water like an arm with fingers at the end under the water. They set up camp and before dark they got out their shovels to do a couple of test pans and in around an hour they panned twelve pound weight of gold. the area became part of victorias golden tryangle. I only say this to give those who don't know an idea of how much gold was around for those first prospectors if they stumbled on the right section of river. as they made there way up stream they would test pan and if at a point the gold ran out they knew that somwhere in the banks above the last point of gold there was a reef that was shedding gold.
Very cool!
Colorado native here I'm not sure how many there are but I'm aware of two granite aristras hopefully spelled right but anyway both for grinding gold ore one near Buena vista the other in phantom canyon near canon city have you seen the shaft high in the sangre de Cristo the entrance high up on a cliff but its amazingly like the pit in oak island many timbered levels and as far as I know the bottom has never been reached due to access and the cold and water the entrance is marked with a maltese cross like a cave near the spanish silver mine on grape creek near west cliff!
Daniel, I am familiar with the sites you mention, except for one. If its not to much trouble, can you send me an email. My email is in the info section of the channel. I have a question I'd like to ask you about one of the sites. Thanks.
ALRIGHTY, YOU'RE BACK!!
Great video sir, thank you!
Hi, found this video extremely interesting. Keep them coming.
Fascinating
Very well done,,, we should compare notes someday,,,,
That was awesome thank you for sharing.
always great ! thanks
Good video. How far away from the first sign was the cache?
Not far at all, walking distance. I think they were camped in a grassy meadow down below it. I believe they hid their items in there. This way if Indians ventured into the camp while they were off prospecting they didn't have to worry about their essential items getting jacked. Just my theory.
There is a place near provo ut in the mountains the have Egyptian type writings
super cool
Excellent video, I just discovered your channel today.
Anyone in the comments happen to be familiar with western / southern tier New York legends and or treasure. Mainly the Delaware tribe?
You tell a good story and seem intelligent enough; however, there is no Spanish treasure buried (except for maybe stolen loot on the coast). The Spanish always transported the gold and silver they had to the coast, where it was then transported to the Crown.
I’ll take pictures and measurements and everything of value. 🖖🏻
Thanks
I think there is still a cache near where you found the gilsonite. I commented on The Mystery Mine, 5 months ago.
Thanks for showing us the proof of what those symbols mean, lol. I mean it's not like he made it all up right?
Ed😊
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
The priests did not work hard for the gold. The reason the Indians revolted was they were slaves in the mines and fields
Excellent video!
I would luv to take u 4 a ride. Short one. By roosevelt. Be very profitable for us.
Very informative and much much cheaper than college tuition ^^
Colorodo State the name is obsviously Spanish for exemple the first Eiropeans and westerns discover and mavigated Colorado River were Spaniards.
Fascinating discussion. Thanks for sharing it.
I have pictures of what I now think are similar markings. Can I send you pictures/
Just send them to my email listed on the channel.
Mexico got its independence from France
great video. thank you for sharing
Would love more symbol deciphering
I have books on Spanish symbols
@@chevynick7551 I have some native American symbol literature.
@@wanderwoman4695 thats cool, Spaniards, were suppose to document there routes, gold, silver, to the queen of Spain, some Spaniards mined under the radar
@@wanderwoman4695 my stepdad was raised by his apache grandmother, and white grandfather, grandma told him there is gold in the Guadalupe mts. in .n.m.
That was worth watching thanks 👍
That's a new marking
Thank you.
GREAT stuff 😊
My wife found your videos and showed them to me. I have a site in the Little Bighorn’s that has a skull rock on it the size of the presidents heads on Mt Rushmore. It is carved into the cap rock at the peak of a first range. It’s looking towards the mountains, so the site cannot be seen from civilization. And no known public trails will take you there, but I know a horse trail that will. It has the right eye open and the left eye closed. The eye is looking at another mountain range peak a little over a mile away. There are also Native American grave sites up there. After watching your shows, I believe the lines from the middle of the forhead coming down across the top of the nose could easily represent a map. The adjacent peak the eye is looking at is covered by remnants of a large stone fort, collapsed, with only a few walls remaining. I would love to take someone up there that understands this a lot better than I do. The views are amazing. It’s just all too big for me and I’d be happy to learn more about it with the help of someone with some knowledge.
Sounds very interesting. Hope you find someone to assist you. Best of luck and stay safe.
The Arizona Superstition mountains have many vaults from the Spanish
That's probably where the Dutchman found his nuggets. That's why no-one's ever found a mine, he probably found a vault full of gold and took a little at a time
The fish resemblance to the Stergen or a Salmon that are salt water fish that can travel all fresh water ways through lands and brackish to the salts again full cycle. The Missouri river as you mentioned of blockage, used to be a route of trades as the river ran uphill. With governing to rights that is called La land purchase, oddly Luis -Clark traveled from Philli to the top west and never touched the land at all thats know as Luis, ana. Then strange pictures are coming to surface of blue and red coat Natives doing all the killing that other countries claimed to fame. History says cowboys and settlers was the major war, if said true then the natives danced around enjoying the old lands claiming the new lands Brit,french,russ. How is a purchase made if no ownership and all native ...?
The army that had to follow up behind the mapping of Luis - clark came from offshore straight up the middle and took control , using nature against itself and when the natives cought on the cowboys and the first army sounding it's horn. If the was was Tru as said with every arrow Head should be a sward within reach. And a larger marker is the invention of black powder, made by china, so the war had to be planned from the comlplete east to west ,as NO Louisiana on the latitude line is point A to B Asia
What does the French quarter stand for in Louisiana when The mapping of the philli state was established and the Luis -clark start the map from
Also anything new has to come from a old, new Mexico is old, what's the real history behind the new from no old to be called orlean
To know the minds of this land is to study the minds of another land that claimed all
The main reason the Spanish left directions was that Any Riches they uncovered belonged to the Crown, (im sure there was some pilfering) but if His Majesty thought a location rich enough, he would organize a new expedition to recover those riches. And without boots on the ground direction, it could potentially allude those seeking its safe return to Mexico and ultimately Spain.
I hope u were not in the philmont scout ranch in southern colorado
Altitude
Mid at best
Noah’s flood get real man
Volcanic activity yep Noah’s flood
Ty Sir!
Ok youngster
There is no such thing as Spainish anything thats on Turtle Island. No european has any rites here.
good info
