Professional Treasure Hunters I wanted to advise you that these two treasures have been found, so that you can put you search money to better use.

My computer was bombed by two viruses and a shutting down board. I should have junked it! But for now it's working. I wanted to give the professional Treasure Hunters an up date of the Treasures that ARE NOT available for recovery. I have lost two of them due to liars and cheaters.

The first Treasure now gone and a NERS site is the Skeleton Canyon massacre and murder of alegedly the Monterey loot and the $80,000 Billy Grounds cached gold. The $80,000 Billy Grounds and Hughs Treasure was cached on the Hughs own property 4 miles south of Shakespeare in a cave. I was sharing with some very knowledgeable researchers in this case and they goated me into giving them the approximate NERS area by Terra Server's Users Guide Aerial maps. They wanted this information so that they could seek permission for us to search. They quickly found it, or someone else did, and the area today is deader than yesterdays newspaper. I never heard from them again. These mistakes can be avoided by not sharing too much and knowing the character of the people one is working with. Gold fever turns a good man into a beast over night.

The second Lost and recovered Treasure, and a NERS site, was found in three days and my partners embezzled my half of the 300 pounds of gold found there. This site was the Klammath Falls Agency area cache. What did this represent?

In 1852 by Ruby El Hult and other authors: Two prospectors left despite warnings from Jacksonville Oregon friends, NOT to travel with their 600 pounds of gold. They continued anyway, and their bodies were found in two shallow graves near Diamond Lake Oregon. For those of you that had followed the story.

The key to the Enigma came in a story by Larry B. McCormac in Treasure Magazine in July 1984 titled: New clues to the Lost Pedro mine.-------

According to the story, Pedro confessed to his kin, after twenty five years from the murdered incident, that he was the person that murdered the two Jacksonville miners and stole their gold. He also stated that he had lived off of that gold for over twenty years and that THERE WAS NO GOLD MINE. He never had a gold mine. He used this ruse so that gold in his possession would be accepted. He said the loot was cached under some rocks with no specific directions to this gold. But yet he said is was in a meadow near Agency Oregon.

Since this was a NERS site with an east and a west hub 70 miles away, I felt that it would be easy to recover with out much trouble with the proper team effort. The system charge was stuck on top of a mesa near Chiloquin Oregon, seven miles south east of the actual gold cache. Rather than to trespass on the land in the open, we chose to use the local roads to de-ionize a rather large land mass which would tell us what direction the gold rejection feed line was coming from. We did this and the charge moved to around Agency where the story said the cache was. It took us three days of field de-ionization and we were soon standing on the rocks where the gold was cached uinderneath. This land is now Nation Forest land. The gold remaining cache was about 300 pounds or so. My share of it was to be half or around $750,000 by contract. My partners were suppose to be responsible for the recovery and the liquidation of the gold. This they did, but I never heard from them again.

I learned a good lesson from these two Treasure losses, and I will NEVER work closely with anyone again. The purpose of this email is to have professional Treasure Hunters remove the Skeleton Canyon Arizona search area and Lordsburg area from their Treasure searches, As well as the Oregon Jacksonville search (AKA Agency Oregon) which was found near Agency in Novenber 1998. To me, there is NO sense in wasting any more time here IF you are still searching for these Treasures. The Bird Is Gone!

Best Wishes, Richard Walburn
