Old Mine Site and Spanish Mines – Uinta Mountains, Utah
Old Mine Site and Spanish Mines – Uinta Mountains, Utah
The mine site at the end of the video is truly amazing and very undisturbed. Many relics lay scattered here and there. I plan on spending more time at the site in the future, who knows, I might find another mine!!! I found one old Spaniard trail marker on an old pine tree not to far from the site, but I have a feeling if I explore around some more I might find others. The original mine must have been deep, the mine dump is massive and very old. Mature pine trees are now growing from the mine dump.
The music at the first of the video is Misty Mountains from the Hobbit. The end song is a traditional Viking Song.
If you love local, as well as Utah history, I recommend you visit Dale Bascoms website. His website has a wealth of information and is a great place to begin your adventure.

I don’t think those were Spanish markings on the tree. Aspens don’t live that long. Maybe mexican? Great video otherwise.
What about the lost josephine mine? LMFAO. People act like there are lost mines that were never worked out. Which is bullshit.
Bought this album Pawl D Beats, thanks for listing the music. Enjoying your videos found your channel today 🇺🇸🇦🇺👍 gold rides an iron horse..ok I need to go back to a gold field.
At 14.10 you have some wagon parts but I don’t see any tire hoops, probly gone years ago. Seems to me from what I’v seen in you’r videos so far that theirs a lot of gossan or Iron cap shown which means ancient mineral hot springs in a volcanic region. The gold was in solution in iron sulfide water and precipitated out when the pressure dropped and/or cooled at the surface. A lot of miners would beat the gossan up in a mortar and the free gold would be washed out.
That was really really neat. I enjoyed watching thank you.
One of the absolute best videos I have seen in the Unitas. Ty so much and send more plz.
