[@LowBudgetExploration]

Thanks Melanie. I showed your video (McConkie Ranch) to my family the other day, they really enjoyed it.

[@melaniemills7255]

@@LowBudgetExploration you are so kind. I’m still intrigued by them and always looking for petroglyphs to compare.

[@montestokes4026]

Your ventures are special... thanks for sharing, and educating the viewers

[@LowBudgetExploration]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoy them.

[@brettnipps7205]

Great filming and editing.

[@LowBudgetExploration]

Thanks Brett. As you can imagine a lot of work goes into it, but luckily I love every minute of it and sharing these beautiful areas with others.

[@jamesf4405]

I love these videos. Thanks so much for doing this.

[@LowBudgetExploration]

Thanks James. I enjoy making them, sorta turned into a side hobby.

[@RobertRoss-xu7vj]

You have the most diverse and spectacular footage of the Uintas im retired and would like to come out there and see for my self those old Spanish Gold mines

[@wanderwoman4695]

Thx for bringing this adventure. Be safe!

[@LowBudgetExploration]

Your welcome and glad you enjoyed it. You too.

[@basinoffroad]

Thats neat to see the horse petroglyphs. I know of some petroglyphs that are a bit lesser known. You may or may not have come across them in your travels. I need to tag along with you on some of these adventures. Jordan Allred

[@LowBudgetExploration]

Hi Jordan! I didn't know you had a youtube channel. I just subbed a few minutes ago. Tomorrow I will begin watching all your vids. They look cool.

[@basinoffroad]

@@LowBudgetExploration I just started about a year ago and haven’t done a lot of videos. It’s hard to make enough time to film and publish everything

[@LowBudgetExploration]

@@basinoffroadI watched and enjoyed all your vids yesterday. Miss you guys and cant wait to watch your future videos.

[@katedave2019]

What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@LowBudgetExploration]

It truly is! Thank you and my pleasure.

[@clayhorrocks9560]

Hey where was my invite? Just kidding, I love the petroglyphs of the horses. That was pretty cool

[@LowBudgetExploration]

Dude, I was going to call you so we could check out that site we talked about earlier, but my plans got screwed up. My vacation days got cut short, very short. All I had time to do was go up on the Uinta's and take a picture of an old Spanish Silver mine I had been wanting to see and mess around one day out in the desert (the video). Then I had to head back home. I wish we could have done what we talked about. Now we have to wait for the dang snow to melt! Grrr.

[@Cobbmtngirl]

Beautiful! Thanks much!

[@richardoffutt651]

as a boy, i’m in my 80’s now, my cousin and uncles,(by marriage),would catch wild horses and tame them and take them to the auctions in the western stock yards. That kinda looked like a horse catching camp.

[@LowBudgetExploration]

I never thought of that. There is tons of wild horses in the area, so you never know.

[@ralphtaylor787]

Some sort of a bird creature riding a horse. Weren’t horses brought to this area from Europe? Awesome video.

[@LowBudgetExploration]

Ralph, thanks for the compliment. The horses were brought by the Spaniards from Europe. Some horses were stolen, others escaped and became wild horses (mustangs). The Indians excelled at husbandry of the horses and this completely changed the cultures of the different tribes. Now they could wage war, hunt and explore far and wide.

[@markthomas4083]

I couldn’t imagine how difficult the daily activities could be minus the four legged beasts of burden, poor 🐶 dogs were utilized.

[@ralphtaylor787]

@@markthomas4083 imagine these Spaniards traveled thousands of miles by ship then thousands of miles by horse to get this gold. Absolutely incredible.

[@danielritsch4328]

I can tell you this , in this video I saw the skin from a giant person/animal . There is a reason they are called gold veins. When a person dies all the blood is runs to the finger tips/toes the head. Depending on how the body was laying. You might look at an aerial map of this area and see if anything sticks out in the shape of a body

[@Kingspeakbackcountry]

Looks like you are down on the green. Thought that was all reservation. Did the tribe give you permission or did you by a permit from them...? I know of some good petroglyph around where I guide if you interested.

[@LowBudgetExploration]

Do you guide from Sandwash down?

[@Kingspeakbackcountry]

I guide bird hunts at Pleasant Valley, formerly known as Hicken's Chickens. I helped them last year with the watering and maintenance and found a lot of cool stuff. My Ute brothers take me up sometimes to their property in Rock Creek up on Big Ridge....lots of things there. That is all I will say publicly.

[@Kingspeakbackcountry]

I was in Sandwash area all Summer with a wilderness therapy group.

[@LowBudgetExploration]

@@Kingspeakbackcountry Cool, I used to see the "Wilderness kids" all the time out on Big Wash (South of Nine Mile). Almost ran some over on accident going over the loops on the pipeline road two Winters ago. I went on a rafting trip a long time ago from Sandwash down to Green River (Through Desolation Canyon). It was so much fun! I was just a kid, but would love to do it now as an adult. Probably enjoy it even more. I would love to check out the Petro's. I have my private email address in the description down below. You can reach out to me with the details this way and not have to worry about compromising the sites.

[@Kingspeakbackcountry]

@@LowBudgetExploration I will reach out to you via your email.

[@TravisMcKnight-lk7gg]

Some of the symbols above the horse are very similar if not identical to paleo block Hebrew letters and word phrases . Which is a phenomenon where did Indians learn phonetic Hebrew . There's only theories but , and I will say it , did Egyptians bring Hebrew slaves to mine gold ?? Using Phoenicians also part of the Egyptian navy , naval mercenaries. To transport Hebrew slaves to mine there gold , you can find there style of symbols and gods . So ?? Maybe??

[@timjlarsen]

Mormons believe the native Americans are decended from the Hebrews. The first stories in the Book of Mormon are the stories about Lehi taking his family out of Jerusalem at God's command because it would be destroyed.

[@AEVMU]

No.

[@TravisMcKnight-lk7gg]

@@AEVMU yep 👍 you're just ignorant of the fact . I don't care if you agree I know what it is. When it comes to the truth there are always Na Sayers and unbelievers, not to mention a similarities between the Philistine warrior dress and the warrior dress of the Indians headbands with feathers add helmets different types with horns sometimes combined in the Chiefs headdress with the feathers and the horns yep , same kinds of shields even some of the same kind of Canaanite Gods worshiped with the horns and arms turned down the opposite from praising Yahweh, it's either Egyptians , Phoenicians , Minoans , Philistines and libyans with paleo block Hebrew yep 👍 not every panel , but it's definitely out there on a lot of them . The Philistines became the Minoans and the Minoans became the Phoenicians , masters of the sea and were the mercenary elements of the Egyptian Navy who brought Hebrews slaves to mine gold. It talks about the ships of tarshish in the Bible and there unlimited gold and silver, Philistines u know they controlled the Mediterranean sea they blocked it at the rocks of Gibraltar or the pillars of Hercules , and this is why the Egyptians employed them they knew the see beyond that point , even north America , it's history . All anyone has to do is look at paleo Block Hebrew old Egyptian letters and word phrases , symbols etc.

[@NoCantsAllowed]

Maybe they were running a moonshine still...?

[@LowBudgetExploration]

LOL, that would be cool. You never know.

[@berntout3697]

No music on these kind of videos are better anyway

[@LowBudgetExploration]

I got scammed on the first music I used in this video, they said non-copy right and then a few days after posting the vid they filed a manual copy right claim. I use to use music a lot in these types of videos, but all the music is copyrighted and I lose rights to my videos. One time one of my videos was pulled down for 6 months, not because of anything I did, but because of a dispute between the song owner and one of the major record labels (or whatever they are called now). This really sucked. After that, I try to be more careful, or not use any music at all. The free music you can get on youtube for videos sucks.

[@1tothoo1]

Did the Spaniards use the Gilsonite to smelter the Gold cache the ambushed pack train abandoned there?

[@LowBudgetExploration]

I'm not sure, I know Gilsonite burns really hot so you never know. I'm also not familiar with the ambushed pack train. I have an email address down below if you feel comfortable telling me the story.

[@1tothoo1]

I think it is a story the documentation made it to Spain archive from Mexico City by the only returning survivor when the Spanish and Jesuits were no longer tolerated by the Uintahs.

[@khsgr8]

Allot of that had nothing to do with mining. Like where you found that bucket, that was excavated underneath, that is artifact hunters. I saw allot of evidence of artifact hunting on that location. I would bet anything on that.

[@LowBudgetExploration]

Interesting theory Kenneth. Very possible.
