Artifacts

Here you can see some of the artifacts found in the High Uintas by us and others that pertain to either the Lost Rhoades Mines or the Lost Spanish Mines. This is evidence that the Spanish were here mining, and possibly that Thomas and Caleb Rhoades were too. If you have pictures of artifacts you would like to share, please email them to mail@lostrhoadesgold.com with a little description and a location where they were found. You can be as specific as you want about the location, but at least narrow it down to a drainage, please.
