Hidden Artefacts Reveal Shocking Truth About Aztec Chamber | Mystery At Blind Frog Ranch

After uncovering three ingots hidden in the keyhole chamber, Ron turned to his trusted gold analyst to determine their origin. First of all, here's your ingots back. Well, let's just check those first to make sure they're all there. Dick is an associate that I've used a lot. Of course, I've been mining and prospecting a lot of my life. And anytime I have a question or I want something analyzed, something assayed, I go to Dick. He's very quiet. He's secretive. If I tell him not to say something, he does not say anything. He gets me the results, but he can analyze anything I give him. Well, I've got some interesting results for you here. Okay. The thing that's really strange is this high percentage of copper. We have a sample here at 25%. Well, it's more typically around 1%. 20 to 25% is extremely unusual. That's pretty interesting. When you make bullion, you don't want copper in it, that much copper. Exactly. The only thing that that would indicate to me is that it was added to the sample to get a higher percentage for whatever reason they wanted it. Number two is the grouping of the trace elements. We've got platinum, rhodium, and palladium. This grouping is simply not found in Utah. I've seen it in samples that have come from Australia, South America, Mexico. Mexico. Supposedly in Mexico, the Aztecs used a lot of copper, mixing it into their bullion, make it harder, change color. In the grouping of those trace elements, Mexico is a good candidate. The fact that we tested these bars and the results came out as they did kind of proves that it is Aztec gold. Most miners do not add copper to gold bars. Aztecs would have. The Aztec added copper to their gold to create tumbaga, a versatile alloy prized for its rich color and added strength that gave their jewelry and artifacts an unmistakable quality. The amount of copper and other elements in the ingots suggests the gold has Aztec origins. We think the gold-copper alloy in these ingots point to the Aztec. Possible Aztecan gold long buried in the keyhole chamber in the Uintas. These results would correlate with where these came from. So your theory might be that this was actually Aztec? Yes. Okay, very interesting. Yeah, yeah. This is huge. It makes me pretty excited that these tests indicate gold that could have originated from the Aztec's exist-unblind frog ranch and is not just a keyhole chamber. In the past few weeks, my research into the Rhodes Journal suggests that there are other chambers full of Aztec gold. My next goal is to figure out where these other chambers of gold could be. I'm hitting something. I think I can get my hand. Yeah, I got my hand around. What the hell is this? What is that? Oh, it was a big jug. It was a big jug. That is old glass, man. You see how that glass is not perfect? Oh, yeah. See how it's lopsided? This is an applied lip, so that's old style. They just took a piece of glass and wrapped it around there to make the lip. Maybe 1870s, but probably before that, 1860s, 1850s. Well, that would set right in with that Mormon era here from the 1850s onward, you know? Well, somebody had a stash right there in that hole beneath the floor. And along with the other artifacts we found, that wasn't the Aztecs who put them there. This is something, man. Yeah. This is some incredible finds. All of the artifacts we're finding in here are pointing to the fact that modern people were in here. Based on the design of the glass, it's from the early Mormon era. And if we're talking Mormon era, Thomas Rhodes could have been down here. There's a story that he once arrived at Salt Lake City with so much gold that ingots were falling off of his wagon on his way through town. We think Thomas Rhodes financed Mormonism with gold from the Uinta Mountains. And I believe they were successful. I believe that that success is what a lot of the legends were built off of. It just makes me think that we're onto something really big right now. All right. We've got a lot of stuff. And more sections still left to excavate. So let's keep going. Go ahead and grab some with your shovel. There's still enough material in there. Yeah. Yeah. And we'll take it sentence by sentence and break it down and correlate with Ron with what he knows. Okay. So the first line, have had the offering in hand and come to believe there are others. Chief is gone, but many of his people have spoken of property of ancients in the breathing earth. Breathing earth to me would be caves, the cave system. And I think maybe the property of the ancients must mean the Aztecs, the Aztec treasure. You agree with that, James? Yeah. The Aztecs were the ancients. Okay. So the next line, small hawk leads to stairs of gold, big hands hold safe the golden staircase. I believe this could be the big resting place. Big I would imagine means important. So this is interesting to me because based on my research, it's not just the keyhole chamber that contain gold. We believe there's several locations where this treasure could be. Maybe what this golden staircase, whatever it is, holds this treasure. And I think that's what the maps are trying to lead us to in the journal. Oh, for sure. So the passage that Dr. Blomquist translated indicates there is another chamber of gold called the golden staircase. What we got to do now is find the location of it. Thank you so much, Roger. Oh, it's my pleasure. There's no description of what the golden staircase looks like. Are the stairs themselves gold? We don't know. All we have to go on is this map. So I still need to research this a bit more. But one thing is clear, that this may be the most important thing in the journal, the golden staircase. That's our next target. I'm confident there's nothing else left in this room. We've gotten it all. Keyhole chamber is done. Based on the evidence, the team believes that the gold that was once stored here in the keyhole chamber was already cleared out by the Mormons. But as the excavation of the keyhole chamber comes to an end, the chase for the Aztec gold is only beginning. It's a huge accomplishment to find something that was lost for over a century. I mean, this is a huge moment for us, but our work's not done. We've got a lot more to do. I'm sure that gold had friends at one time. I want to know where the rest of it is. We spent years looking for this spot. Spent blood, sweat, tears, and lots of money to get us to right here. I'll be damned if we're going to stop here. I agree. You know what? If we found this chamber, we can find the others. Damn right. After so long looking for this thing, you have all these different feelings. You can't imagine what it felt like to find those gold ingots. It's gold. It's just plain as day. Yeah, it was only three. And do I wish it was more? Absolutely. But it just tells us another part of the story, that it was here. All right, let's wrap everything up. We've got to get all this stuff out of here, have all these artifacts analyzed. We need to head back, regroup with my father, and track down those other chambers. Yeah, let's go. My dad's research is saying that there could be six more chambers out there. If that's the case, we can't stop. Oh, you ready for that several hundred feet fall? Yeah, here we go. This is definitely the keyhole chamber. This chamber existed, and that tells me that the other ones probably do too. We won't stop until we track down those other chambers and find the rest of this gold.
