Al, I love enigmas. The quest is more important to me then the recovery. The quest is a free wind. In the recovery, everyone is against ones success here. This is a very strange afair to me? If one one works hard selling 10,000 tires, that's good and you earned the money. But if you work hard and find 72 tons of treasure worth over 90 millions dollars, all of the guns are against you, as though you are some sort of thief. People are difficult to understand for me? I do not know what happened to Vanderporten. He was there. He wanted his own thoughts and didn't care to see the man that discovered the Drake navagational chart code cipher to Drake's cached bullion bars. There is some sort of understanding anoung professional archeologists that say Treasure Doesn't Exist. Whatever the truth is about Drake if an excavation is ever approved, definately will not be popular with men that have spent their lives pursuing their opinion of what happened in the Drake case and even printed books as to this alegded reality. People would rather have reality be what they believed in to be rather than reality to be what it is found out to be. Stange isn't it? You can see this total affair on //TreasureHunt.MiningCo.com. A host of authors and their work on one side of the Drake investagation and illiterate Walburn with his NERS technology that cracked the Drake code on the other side of the line. I'm NOT a popular guy at all. Egg on the face doesn't SELL well. As one author said to me, "I just got to pay my gas bill this month." Life is a B---h sometimes Al. I wish you grand results with your quest. Nice talking to you. Richard
