    Except for you didn’t say anything about the Uinta mountains. And there is known Spanish gold mines in the area. And placer gold in the rivers.

    Kimberly mtn and the uintas are the best i have found being a utah native and looking for gold those have shown the most color.

    This is so cool! Thanks for the knowledge, always hear of people finding all these amazing gemstones here but we never find anything like that when we’re out in the mountains. Learned alot about the land layout, thank you!

  4. Prospector Jess on March 1, 2023 at 10:15 pm

    You guys rock! You make all the effort to put these videos together worth it. See https://SourdoughMiner.com/GDU/ for details on how I can help you find more gold.

    What about the lost rhodes mine that cursed all the gold in the uinta basin??

  6. cks on March 1, 2023 at 10:17 pm

    Living in Utah, there are quite a few fault lines and I have long been curious if even ancient fault lines if they make for good or worth prospecting for gold?

    Utah is one of the largest gold producers in the country, BUT, it’s largely due to one mine, which happens to be one of the largest open pit copper mines in the world, and the gold is simply a byproduct of it’s scale. Most the rest of it’s gold, including the Bingham copper mine gold, is very fine and largely in sulphides.

    Most of the salt flats of the great salt lake are military testing grounds now.

  9. Roseanne Carr Atkinson on March 1, 2023 at 10:25 pm

    Our Great Salt Lake has shrank soo much! I also believe where man has changed the way the water drains. It goes to holding ponds throughout the cities. It doesn’t go to the GSL. Besides we have been very dry.

  10. XTC Trader on March 1, 2023 at 10:25 pm

    One of the largest gold producer in the U.S. is the Kennecott Copper mine. That’s why you see a lot of indicators south of the Great Salt Lake.

  11. Lou Herrera on March 1, 2023 at 10:26 pm

    I live in utah and i was wondering what site you used for the gold map locations.

  12. Donald Covington on March 1, 2023 at 10:27 pm

    thanks for Utah how about Texas

  13. ModernProspector on March 1, 2023 at 10:28 pm

    I’m more interested in the kimberlitic diatremes at Moses Rock and Mule Ear. Unfortunately they’re on the reservation and unable to be mined by anyone but Navajos

  14. iVET-Ansolini on March 1, 2023 at 10:30 pm

    Can you do kansas if there is any?

  15. margaret catalano on March 1, 2023 at 10:31 pm

    Yes Texas

  16. ttom on March 1, 2023 at 10:31 pm

    I live in utah and go to the uintas alot looking for lost gold mines, is their a way i could jump on a Skype with you?

  17. Sharon Kasper on March 1, 2023 at 10:32 pm

    Arizona please

  18. brayden anderson on March 1, 2023 at 10:33 pm

    Do you know much about down south like sevier county and that area I have stumbled across mines and use to pan and help my grand father find gold when I was young but since his passing I havent really done anything down there

  19. Parley K on March 1, 2023 at 10:33 pm

    Pretty sweet oscilloscope you’ve got in that desk. I just happen to live in Utah and found this video. I’m just an electronic hobbyist but it’s still neat to see the prospecting geology around the state of Utah

  20. Rebecca Everett on March 1, 2023 at 10:35 pm

    Yes, more Utah please!!

  21. Ruby Duma on March 1, 2023 at 10:36 pm

    The wasatch mountain range that runs vertically through Utah is the steepest mountain range in North America and also has the only mountain range in the US that runs horizontally known as the uinta mountains. Utah is definitely unique.

  22. TCU on March 1, 2023 at 10:38 pm

    so up in south weber i helped dig a fire pit in a friends backyard and our hand literally sparkled with fine gold all the house were build on top of it.

  23. Maile McDevitt on March 1, 2023 at 10:39 pm

    I was told by my grandma that Spanish hid gold on Bonneville salt flats. Some where

  24. Life of Prince on March 1, 2023 at 10:40 pm

    When you’re addressing the red desert and you’re talking about the permitter what are you exactly talking about are you talking about the edge where the uplift is happening or the perimeter of the entire Area you marked. What do you mean edge vertical edge of that uplift

  25. Daniel Trevino on March 1, 2023 at 10:46 pm

    Hey Jess do you know what area Hackly and Hume mineing was at ? In Utah.

  26. srip 63 on March 1, 2023 at 10:47 pm

    Gold in Maine and New Hampshire?

  27. Treasure Exploration and Research on March 1, 2023 at 10:47 pm

    That area you discuss around 15min is the famous Henry Mountains and the location of the Lost Josephine, Spanish Mine. There is an underground city in the area that is known to the local Piautes. They will not tell you where it is because their ancestors lived and slaved in the mines and were held captive in the city. We found the entrance but it has collapsed. Above the city there are still plenty of active mines. Modern miners just have not found the main vein yet. There is a South African company mining several of the mines on top now.

  28. MULEYZ on March 1, 2023 at 10:48 pm

    Is there any gold spots on the North Slope of Uinta mountains to look for. Like between Evanston to Manilla ?

  29. roger davies on March 1, 2023 at 10:51 pm

    That transverse range is called the Unita Mountains and is the only transverse range in the North American Rocky Range
    Trees down Utah has in the past suffered from a huge pine beetle infestation cause for trees being down
    Be very careful wandering around the Salt Flats as they are called because they are part of the Utah Test and Training Range. It will be clearly marked and everything outside the boundary should have been dealt with. FYI At the Utah Nevada town of Wendover there is a WWII airbase where the crews for the atomic bomb raids trained

  30. Roy Brown on March 1, 2023 at 10:53 pm

    Texas an okla

  31. jjd jj on March 1, 2023 at 10:57 pm

    Can you do a vid on colorado/wyoming?

  32. Christopher Elmer on March 1, 2023 at 10:58 pm

    Yeah Texas!

  33. Jon C on March 1, 2023 at 10:59 pm

    Is there a possibility to find gold in a old Utah cole mine.

  34. Taylor St. Sauvage Brandon on March 1, 2023 at 10:59 pm

    Jess, what about…Wyoming? Gold and…diamonds there.

  35. Joe Joe on March 1, 2023 at 11:00 pm

    I am born and raised in moab utah still living here in moab

  36. margaret catalano on March 1, 2023 at 11:01 pm

    I enjoy all your videos.

  37. Ruby Duma on March 1, 2023 at 11:01 pm

    Utah has a lot of fine gold and is the #1 money maker in the state. I have a friend who gets gold out of the gutter in Ogden from the road base that comes from a gravel pit at the bottom of a canyon that contains gold. There’s a good book by Alan Chenworth called Gold Panning in Utah that goes into further detail. Last year when I camped at the Utah Gold Club claim I had a UFO hover above my campsite at night on three different occasions. I’m going there next week but won’t be camping unfortunately.

  38. Kevin honey on March 1, 2023 at 11:02 pm

  41. vodorod A on March 1, 2023 at 11:06 pm

    Hello Jess. your voice is a bit like a musician johnny cash)

  42. Roseanne Carr Atkinson on March 1, 2023 at 11:07 pm

    Also there are some gold mines above Centerville and Farmington, maybe Bountiful too.

  43. Mike Connery on March 1, 2023 at 11:07 pm

    Texas yes

  44. TheYammerHammer on March 1, 2023 at 11:07 pm

    The claim that you are looking at southeast of wendover, nv. Is a little old Ghost town called Gold Hill. One person actually lives there and is mining it

  45. Robert Specht on March 1, 2023 at 11:08 pm

    What a boutique Wyoming.

  46. Jim Taylor on March 1, 2023 at 11:09 pm

    I was told some years ago that there was gold out by Wendover on the Utah side and all so have seen spots that where there could of been some valcano remains in different spots in the state of my travels
