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 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

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.

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.

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.

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!

@michaelfercik3691 10 ай бұрын

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.

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.

@LowBudgetExploration 6 ай бұрын

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.

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. 🤷‍♂️

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.
