Hey heavy D, long time native of southern Utah here. The rumor I’ve heard is that it got tossed into three lake near kanab. There have been multiple expeditions into it but none have been able to get to the bottom, and allege it’s haunted by Spanish ghosts. The landscape lines up with the maps and evidence available. Maybe check it out!

[@EthanRaddatz]

As someone who grew up in Kanab ut, this is very true, three lakes has always been private property and the last few people who went diving there looking for the gold died in coincidental accidents

[@joncoleutah]

I swam in Three Lakes as a teenager before it got closed down. That middle lake has always fascinated me.

[@AlchemistRacing]

@@joncoleutah it only got closed cause it’s private property and people were trashing it. Now they’re looking for investors to turn it into a tourist attraction. I inquired a few years ago and it was $200k for 8% (12 total owners, I think I did the math right)

[@joncoleutah]

@@AlchemistRacing That’s crazy. I remember when they wanted to make it an RV resort but it never seemed to get anywhere. That was probably 20 years or so ago.

[@clanggedin]

There is an old mine up water canyon near Salem Utah that has ptroglyphs of pack animals going into the cave empty and leaving the cave full. There also used to be a smelter nearby, but it has been ravaged by time and people. The cave was either filled in or caved in, but the petroglyphs are still visible. Further up the canyon my father found the remains of a native American buried under a rock slide. What he found was donated to BYU. There is also another Spanish mine on top of the canyon. I have an uncle in Vernal that has spent quite a bit of time searching that area for Carre-Shin-Ob. Not too far from his house are petroglyphs and other symbols. Unfortunately old Spanish symbols that have been placed on rocks and trees have either been cut down or removed by other people either to prevent others from finding treasure, or to decorate their house with a "cool rock".

[@ORION75FW]

I've been fascinated by this treasure for years, and to see you guys teaming up with the likes of Terry Carter gives me hope that something can still be done to find it! 🙌

[@harpintn]

Treasure hunts have caused many people to go bankrupt looking for something that may not even exist.

[@adamvalencia1413]

here's a good tip for y'all... the Spanish were very advanced with hiding techniques most of the time even in caved areas they would actually dig their own hiding spot and build stories and actually go down about 90 ft, and place it under a big tree they marked, so they could rig pulley systems to. they would even booby trap them, usually near a stream or river, so that if someone tried to dig it in an improper way it would actually flood....they would even do this with small one ship groups.. they most def wouldn't hide it in some random cave unless they blew the entrance to completely close and hide it... it 100% wouldn't be in some random open cave... id look for depreciations in the ground, near rivers, and near those symbols on old gone trees those guys were talking about, or a cliff face that has piles of rocks on it that may have a cave behind it if you removed all that... thats where it will be if its there...

I love how you have embraced Allen and brought him along with you on these exploring trips. He's my favorite. When I lived in Westcliffe, Colorado, There was a story told of men getting caught in a snowstorm while exploring the Sangre de Cristo Mountains just West of Westcliffe Co. They took shelter in a cave. While in the cave, they found human skeletons and gold bars. They loaded up what they could carry, and when the storm ended, they took the gold to Westcliffe. The bars were worth some 900 dollars a piece at the time. But they could never find the cave again because of the snow changing the landmarks. The gold being made into bars suggested that it was mined by the Spanish also.

[@jfour6591]

Please do much more of these, I'd love for you and your team be the ones to make the discoveries!

[@FishinFool402]

What you said is true. People that haven't been through that kind of stuff don't really understand. There has to be order to the chaos or resources and supplies don't get where they need to be. There is some organizations that end up in the way and take valuable money and resources away unintentionly while trying to help Watched you for awhile. I know you would help of feasible. Don't let it bother you. Cleet was asked to go help and he wasn't far away. He didn't just head up there as some assume. You do alot of good.

[@Ayodehi]

​ @HeavyDSparks Thank you for your consideration to help. While I question the quality of your intel (or at least how it's presented here) in light of the thousands of GA missions we flew and the millions of lbs of supplies we delivered to inaccessible areas the work you do all over the west is not to be diminished in anyway! Our local blackhawks flew hundreds of successful missions and quite literally saved hundreds of lives in the process working hand-in-hand with local, state, and federal officials.

good thoughts about trying to get involved in the hurricane disaster. from afar I saw a lot of you tubers both helping and not really helping too much. but a lot of chaos and hunkering down but out of urgent recovery stuff-but they were getting very good videos with good info at the time would likely have been vital to people involved and those concerned about relatives and friends and such. i think they were getting valuable information out. but overall I think you made the best choice in the circumstances. best of luck to everyone so terribly effected. all the best from an Australian friend.

Dave I just left from Asheville Old Fort chimney Rock bat cave. There are a bunch of places that have washed out the bridges and roads completely. The one area I think you could really help some people in. Is in the military equipment field. They need Bridges they need a quick military-style come in set a bridge up where these people can access to get help there's plenty of places still taking supplies by horseback and side-by-side. Your buddy Hunter is right there in the midst of it

[@mrajinj661]

You know, that absolutely is a calm and level-headed way of looking at it! It's just sad that our federal government has and still is dropping the ball! We had a major tornado in our state and thousands of people flocked there to help and it just created chaos like you said. You have to let the dust settle. Myself and friends have been searching for the musgrove gang treasure along the cache la Poudre river in Colorado. We had to change our way of thinking and that is you have to hide it where others can't find it yet be able to access it easily at any time. When it's in a mine you have to look at it the same way. Right under your nose situation. Good luck guys!

I noticed Garrett Mitchell managed to get up there from the Tampa area in his little chopper and do some good, but others were being turned away by government officials because these "volunteers" didn't fit into their master plan. One private chopper pilot was threatened with arrest if he went back up the mountain to rescue anyone else. Ridiculous. You do plenty for the folks on your side of the country, I don't think anyone thinks any less of you for not going all in on these last two storms in the Southeast.

I find it interesting how every region has their own hypotheses of where the gold might be stashed. Down here in Southern Utah, there's a lot of speculation that it was hidden out somewhere in the Staircase past or around Kanab.

The real gold is under water in man made caves then flooded by ponds in southern Utah. There is unknown treasures of the Aztec taken by the Spanish. The family that owns the land is convinced its protected by spirit guards and a curse. If anyone can figure out how to legally drain the ponds and get crews inside, it is the mother load of Spanish plunder. Im sure you have heard of it. Would be epic content.

The Spaniards would never have moved gold or treasure north. All the Aztec treasure was in Central/Southern Mexico and it would have been shipped to the closest seaport East and sent back to Spain with one of the Plate Fleets which is exactly what happened. The gold that the Spaniards found in AZ Utah etc was all (all that made it past the Natives) shipped south then to the east coast to be loaded on one of the Plate Fleets also. Mel Fisher knew this that's why he searched for and found quite a few of the Plate Fleet wrecks. Likely there is gold/treasure hidden in AZ, Utah, Cali, NM but it's not Aztec Gold... it's gold stolen from the Native Americans who inhabited the areas. The Spaniards/Priests enslaved the Native Americans and forced them to mine for minerals, crudely refine it and transport it for them. IF any gold/treasure was found in Utah or any other state it will be claimed and fought for by the local Native American tribes and possibly the LDS Church if any of the artifacts match the descriptions of "lost artifacts from the Church". The U.S> Government also takes a large chunk of any treasure found. Mel Fisher learned this the hard way and fought expensive legal battles with the U.S. Government to keep a portion of what he found. Nowdays when someone or a salvage company finds lost treasure, the legal battle over ownership begins and may take years to resolve. Just look at the San Jose found quite a few years ago off of the coast of Colombia... it's just recently been decided who gets the treasure. There have been several others as well over the last decade or so. It becomes barely worth the effort and expense to go out and find lost treasure. Chasing down old legends is really a "Fool's Errand". Makes great KZbin content though.

Different gold. He is talking about the "Lost Rhoades Mine" that is thought to be somewhere in the Uintahs

Out of all the videos ive ever watched, this video was hands down the most entertaining video ive seen you drop. I like all you videos but nothing has added up to this one yet.

[@Rusty.1776]

Those mineral mines were established well after the Spanish Gold was hidden. In other words, the gold wouldn't be in a man made mine... Hidden in Caves, maybe... Hidden in Mines, NO...

[@1nvisible1]

*Natives mined copper and gold before the Spanish did.*

[@dustyc324]

exactly. a known mine isn't holding a treasure. I also dont think there is a ton of gold. where did they get the equipment? we know who mined where and they had supplies and equipment. if you're exploring on horseback, you're not really equipped for mining huge quantity of anything. and it was refined? with what? magic?

Not worth as Much as the billions of minerals in the flooded areas of north Carolina that Blackrock is stealing. Dave's a fraud!

Ive got an uncle got involved in The Lost Josephine Mines and wrote and published a book on it and took us exploring in a few in our younger years in local utah mountains was very fun experience

Thankyou for being sensible about the response to helping with the hurricane.

[@targetedcitizen3160]

Are you dumb? Dave has unlimited cash to fly the Blackhawk to Miami to buy fast boats and plenty for a gold rush, bone rush etc but is too broke to help those in a war against the feds who are killing them and taking their land! When you sell your soul to moloch, he comes to collect!

Stoked for this series, I hope you do tons of searching and videos on it!

[@clinkerclint]

What a great idea for a video series!!!! I can't wait to follow along!

I’m from the Vernal area close to the Uintah Mountains. It’s rumored that the Ute Tribe knows where the gold is. Supposedly they have trusted members of their tribe that protect the gold. I don’t know the whole story but my dad who grew up around here knows more than I do. It’s way interesting to hear what he knows about it. There are stories about people getting chased out of some of these areas by members of the tribe. It’s really intriguing…
