No luck on the mines, but they are lots of old abandoned mining towns and historical things to search for. Let me know your schedule. I am doing research on the area and if anything promising comes up I will email you.

Hey Snake..I have been looking for the Swift mines/treasure for years and love the hills/streams in the area around Grayson where we have been searching...want to compare notes? Have you been to the Legends section here on tnet? One of the areas is the JS and There are a couple hundred posts there(guys like the Frontersman, Swizard, Ki, etc., we even had a meeting of the minds twice to discuss some ideas..I located a huge vien of silver right on the Grayson Resivor Dam, it runs sway from the dam for 1/2 mile and is about 30 feet wide. It may have been one of Swifts mine but we don't think so. I have also found 6 indian silver mines near Newfoundland. let me know if you are interested..if not good luck anyway hope you find a million dollars(quote from the late Michael Paul Henson).

Anyone in this area that knows of cache's and is looking for a searching partner, let me know...lets work together and share our finds.
Thanks

I don't know if you're still around, but if you are, give me a PM. There are tons of treasure leads in these three states. Some of them are good.
