Would be kind of cool to get some GPS cords on these and go find them, not sure where to dig them up but I would be game for a little dirt road adventure

GPS coords are available somewhere. Clint Thompson did a neat writeup in the Tooele Transcript on these several years ago, super neat stuff:

Edit, interesting to see KSL getting in on this same story... weeks after KUTV lol

And then a few days later ExPo had a neat story on this too:

Of course Kurt knows where to find the info :greg:

I'm going to have to start using other local news websites, I can't stand the ads on most of them which is why I use KSL even though I dislike there spin on the news most of the time. That being said the ads are getting almost as bad on KSL.com.

Well I found a website that has cords and go figure I got this message

I think it would be cool to find in an area you are exploring.
